And so it begins. An Edmonton city councillor says he and his team are helping a woman facing intimate partner violence relocate with her children after her address — along with the addresses of 2.9 million other Albertans — was made public by a separatist group.

Seething. This is so upsetting. The stupidity and selfishness leading to victims being victimized again.

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.

Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

@DrJStrategy Hmmm good marketing for your firm. Get political, right on! No one should use you idiots because you can’t beat the market anyway, buy an ETF instead. Maybe point some blame where it belongs, the idiot down south destroying the world economy.

@handre @naval Yes and the masses of people, especially in the US, are known for their ability to set aside enough savings to self-insure for major health costs……oh wait is that right?

@farrmacro @carlquintanilla As a Canadian I wouldn’t refer to it as “disagreements with allies.” I would refer to it as treating your allies like shit.

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

For all of those who have been blaming Canada for "not making a deal," welcome to reality.

The countries who negotiated "deals" are now getting whacked with higher tariffs, unilaterally and arbitrarily.

They did nothing to provoke that. He's just angry with the United States Supreme Court.

The tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum are in violation of our earlier deal: CUSMA.

Deals don't matter when negotiating with a counterparty who doesn't respect them.

We still have to do our best to preserve what we can of CUSMA and "negotiate," but with eyes wide open.

That means dispensing with the naïve belief that we can return to normal trade relations anytime soon.

[Chris Berthelot 🇨🇦 @DebatingChris]

"The provincial government’s search for a major private investor to build a pipeline to the West Coast is reportedly stalled by the uncertainty surrounding a potential separatism referendum this fall."

Separatism is bad for business & bad for Alberta.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: For 50 years, the religious right convinced our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage—two issues that aren't mentioned in the Bible.

Jesus tells us exactly how we're going to be judged: by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, and by welcoming the stranger.

Don’t tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I’ll tell you what you believe. Jesus gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor.

There was no exception to that second commandment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, or religious affiliation.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

[Spencer Fernando @SpencerFernando]

Canadians did not start the trade war. We did not ask for, nor did we deserve, threats of the annexation of our country. And no amount of gaslighting will change those facts.

You can’t teach humility 🇨🇦

[Michael MacKay @mhmck]

On average, Canadians have a better quality of life and enjoy greater political freedom than Americans. There is less violence in public life – a benefit of "Peace, Order and Good Government."

It's important to consider these things given threats of annexation by the USA.

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

Recorded back in the 1960s, John Cleese (of Monty Python fame) made an excellent satirical commentary exposing the friend-enemy distinction as being at the heart of both far-left and rar-right extremism, inter alia, including its psychological appeal.
