Stephen Colbert and David Letterman paying tribute to Obama’s infamous tan suit at the Presidential Center opening is exactly the level of pettiness and historical accuracy I respect. 😂
Some controversies deserve a reunion tour.
If ICE agents come to your door without a judicial warrant signed by a judge, https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY is clear: you do not have to talk to them, open the door, answer questions, or let them inside.
You can say through the closed door: “I do not consent to entry. Please leave.”

Canadian media is not what most think.
It’s not just about foreign media. Time to reup my earlier post.
Canadians are lobsters in a propaganda pot. CBC, for all its faults is the only independent and truly Canadian media.
Canadian media is influenced by 5 billionaire families and a US (Trump MAGA) hedge fund. Billionaires being Rogers, Shaw, Thomson, Bitove and Peladeau who respectively own / control / influence:
✔️ Rogers media
✔️ Corus Entertainment
✔️ Globe & Mail, Bell Media, and
✔️ Thomson/Reuters
✔️ Toronto Star, and
✔️ Quebecer Media, including
✔️ Journal de Montreal
These are not “mainstream”, they’re all monied special interests with collective family wealth exceeding $100 billion. These interests plus US hedge fund Chatham Asset Management collectively own 85% of Canadian media, including TV and Radio stations of any significance. PostMedia alone is a big part of that.
Chatham controls PostMedia through a special two thirds ownership structure. Chatham also owns US media AMI / National Enquirer. The link from Chatham to Trump indirectly is David Pecker at AMI.
So it’s a Trump MAGA aligned, CPC propaganda operation ever since Harper approved this years ago. Pecker used to be on the PostMedia board and is Trump’s media man.
PostMedia is playing a big role in Trump’s 51st play. Which seems to be Harper’s Christian (Church) Reform Party’s end game. Yes that would be the so called CPC.
Yet, even worse, algorithm driven social media are viral distributors of the “Canadian” and foreign media too! They’re owned by mega billionaires, including Zuckerberg and Musk, with combined wealth measured now in trillions.
So media generated content is then filtered and run via social media algorithms geared to foreign influence, their own special interests and clickbait profits.
These players are likely first order CPC “owners”, funders and disinformation operatives, beyond their controlling interests in our media.
The Justice Department quietly deleted thousands of press releases about the Jan. 6 insurrection
So Lawfare restored them: more than 5,700 pages recovered and publicly archived.
@TylerMcBrien, Michael Feinberg, and Benjamin Wittes explain how. https://t.co/qtcxOnOmfa
We are witnessing the deliberate erosion of public healthcare in Alberta.
First, the UCP underfunded our public healthcare. Now, privatization is being advanced in violation of the Canada Health Act.
This radical shift was not part of Danielle Smith’s election platform, nor has it been subject to public consultation or consent.
Remember when Trump said the tariffs on Canada were about fentanyl? Sure. And Mexico was paying for the wall, COVID would disappear by Easter, and tariffs would never raise prices. SMH 🙄

Kristi Noem is always right up to her neck in anything that’s unethical, corrupt and morally wrong. It’s how she’s wired. So it speaks volumes about the Canadian Mining Company who hired her. Hiring American MAGAts in Canada is not a good look for any Canadian company right now.
SNYDER: Ukraine is not member of NATO, but Ukraine is doing all of the work of NATO right now only with its own armed forces.
Ukraine is basically fulfilling the entire mission of NATO, with help of course, but not with anybody else's soldiers.
We've essentially gotten used to the idea, all the countries in the region have now gotten used to Ukraine defending them.
And if Ukraine loses the war, then Russian aggression towards not just Baltic states but Poland and Romania becomes quite possible.
And if we take that for granted, if we let Ukraine down, if Ukraine were actually to lose this war, then Russia would digest important economic gains, territorial gains, technological gains, and sadly also demographic gains, which would make it qualitatively greater threat to Romania.
And Russian victory in Ukraine would also be, if not a death blow, then certainly a very heavy blow to NATO itself, leaving Romania much more likely to be isolated when it's facing Russia, which, I don't have to tell you, has historically not been a great situation for Romania.
The lady doesn't live in Canada anymore. She lives in Mexico, but she was at the airport in the domestic arrivals area? Domestic departures?
Hmmmmm.
You sure, Pierre?
Kristi Noem is an untrustworthy psychopath. Keep her out of Canada. Keep the MAGA trash south of the Canadian border. @NovaRedMining What the hell are you thinking?
