The cynicism & hyper partisanship on this site can be exhausting. I see criticism of Conservatives like @erinotoole & @lraitt for agreeing to serve on the Prime Minister’s Canada-US relations advisory panel. Some say it represents “patronage.” To be clear, membership on advisory panels like this are not paid positions. Sometimes they will offer modest per diems for longer meetings requiring travel. But there is no material reward for participating in work like this. If anything it represents an opportunity cost for busy people who give up paid work or billable time in order to participate. In other words, it’s not patronage. Cynics, brace yourself: perhaps what motivates people to set aside partisanship and do voluntary work like this is an authentic sense of duty, of public service that puts country ahead of party. To the partisans who think it’s disloyal to accept a role like this: please remember that severely normal Canadians do not see the world through your hyper partisan lens. They expect Canadians to work together across party lines to help defend the country from external threats, like Donald Trump’s aggression. (Remember Stephen Harper appointing John Manley to lead the advisory panel on the Afghan military deployment; or appointing Gary Doer Ambassador to the US.) Finally, to Conservatives: one of the most unattractive feature of the contemporary left is its tendency to politicize absolutely everything. Don’t repeat their error. Conservatism is not a rigid ideological doctrine requiring loyalty tests and the demonization of our political adversaries.

My phone hasn’t stopped buzzing all day with messages congratulating me on becoming a Junior Sergeant. I’ve been reading every single one, and honestly, it still doesn’t feel real yet. After 16 months of service, the only thing left now is signing a new contract with the Armed Forces of #Ukraine. It’s a strange moment to sit in, looking back at everything that’s happened, and forward to everything still ahead. Ukraine has given me more than I could ever put into words. The people, the resilience, the purpose, it changes you. And the soldiers I serve with… they are the strongest, most selfless people I’ve ever known. It’s an honour to stand beside them every single day. I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity to step into the role of Junior Sergeant. Not just as a #Canadian who chose to be here, but as someone who believes deeply in what we’re fighting for. And to everyone who supports me, through messages, donations, sharing our work, or just paying attention, thank you. Every bit of it matters more than you know. This isn’t just a title. It’s a responsibility. And I’m ready for it. #Support93

Wow, well, that's such a deep thought @RussianEmbassy. But I have a deeper one. Take this Kelin and yourselves and go fuck yourself with a huge dildo without any lube and very deep down your beautiful popas. Spasibo!

Okay, be honest – how many of you panicked today when AI stopped working and you realised you might have to switch from artificial intelligence to your own?

@PoSpecta @magyarpeterMP With a supermajority TISZA can change the constitution and presumably will do so if needed to get the president to resign. And in any case, the current president will see the writing on the wall. Magyar wants to avoid the Polish deadlock between president and PM.

@peter102746 @magyarpeterMP I don’t really like the current President, but he nonetheless gets to serve his terms unless there’s a vote of no confidence or something similar, or realignment. It is a very dictatorial stance for PM Magyar to suggest forcing them to resign, it’s not how their laws work

Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek)
Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office.

The anglophone DEI defence. I did not see that one coming! “I think we have objectives in the federal government to have personnel who represent the linguistic diversity and the diversity of Canada. So that’s really our objective. It’s not one or the other,” she told reporters.

@terrynewman Here's a thought. The combined wealth of Canadian billionaires is estimated to be $90 billion. There are 41 million Canadians. If you took away the $90B and redistributed it to all Canadians, everyone would get $2,200. And you can only do it once.
