Japan’s prime minister has revealed an unlikely companion during her long hours at work: a cockroach.
Sanae Takaichi said she felt “a little lonely” after staff removed the insect from her official residence, because she thought it might be part of the cycle of reincarnation.

Trump menace le Québec. Il lui en cuirait d'aller plus loin dans cette direction. Les Français sont liés sans faille au Québec. Soyons prêts à agir à la rescousse du Canada et du Québec.
Conservatives are disappointed that the United States has chosen to impose further unjustified tariffs on Canada. They threaten the jobs and livelihoods of families right across our country.
Canadians must stand united to defend our country against these unfair attacks on our jobs and businesses. Canada cannot accept one-sided tariffs that will deindustrialize our country. Nor can we accept a bad deal. Instead, we must continue the fight for tariff-free trade. Later today, I will seek a call with the Prime Minister to discuss what we can do to fight for our workers, businesses, and economy. Conservatives will always put our country first.
Conservatives support action to protect Canadians and our industries targeted by these unfair U.S. tariffs.
We also need urgent economic reforms to restore growth, protect jobs and save our industry. That must include ending the industrial carbon tax, repealing anti-development laws, green lighting the 500 economic projects awaiting federal approval and major tax reforms to return investment to our country, reward work, and recharge our economy.
All Canadians must stand united for our workers, our businesses and our country.
As leader of the Green Party of Canada my reaction is one of shock. It had seemed we were close to some sort of #deal, and the question for Canadians this morning would be" is this a fair deal? But now, the questions are around the credibility gap between what US officials claim-

The words of Hannah Arendt was a German and American historian and philosopher from 1951.
She could have spoken these words yesterday and they would be as true as they were 75 years ago.

Congratulations to the 5 permanent security council members. Through creating a hostile world; via waging full scale war on neighbors and other member states (and enabling genocidal gov) you will soon successfully trap the globe down the failed League of Nations path.
The Trump administration has begun the process of paying $725 million toward the more than $4 billion the U.S. owes the UN.
The payment, which is less than 20% of the UN’s claimed debt, could help the organization avoid immediate spending cuts and salary disruptions.
Experts warned that without further payments, the UN could face serious cash shortages and the U.S. could lose its General Assembly voting rights in January.

🔸Selon une enquête conjointe de WDR, NDR et du Süddeutsche Zeitung, les autorités allemandes ont découvert près de Berlin une cache d’armes qu’elles soupçonnent d’avoir été constituée par les services de renseignement russes en vue de potentielles attaques en Allemagne.
🔸Deux armes à feu fonctionnelles ont été retrouvées sur place. Un suspect lié à cette cache a été arrêté en Roumanie et le parquet fédéral allemand enquête sur l’affaire depuis novembre.
🔸Après avoir estimé que la cache était compromise, les autorités ont neutralisé les armes et les ont équipées de traceurs GPS afin de surveiller d’éventuels récupérateurs.
Our government talks about Canadian values on the world stage, but we need it to act with moral clarity when it matters.
It’s long past time to cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, issue sanctions, and use every diplomatic tool at our disposal to rein in this rogue state.
Anything less is a green light for Israel to continue killing civilians with impunity.
The IDF’s decision not to pursue a criminal investigation into the killing of seven World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers, including Jacob Flickinger, a Canadian citizen, is unacceptable.

Fake news, many high ranking officials, from MPs like Randeep Sarai (Lib) to Anita Anaad (foreign minster) and many others have been beyond vocal about this.
The IDF’s decision not to pursue a criminal investigation into the killing of seven World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers, including Jacob Flickinger, a Canadian citizen, is unacceptable.
Serious failures were identified in the conduct of the strike, and closing the case without further accountability leaves their families without the answers they have sought for more than two years.
Humanitarian workers delivering food and other life-saving assistance in conflict zones must be protected. Canada expects international humanitarian law to be upheld and will continue pressing for a full accounting of what happened, along with justice for the seven workers who were killed and their families.
Canada strongly condemns North Korea’s latest launch of ballistic missiles, which undermines peace and security in the #IndoPacific. Canada continues to urge North Korea to comply with #UNSC resolutions.
On this day in 1944, street fighting erupts in Paris as the French Resistance rises up against German troops occupying the city. The violence continues until Aug. 25 when Allied armies arrive to liberate Paris.
The horrors the Palestinian families in Qusra (Nablus governorate) are living through are not isolated incidents. Instead, they reflect the relentless escalation and expansion of well-documented state-backed Israeli settler violence across the unlawfully occupied West Bank that seeks to displace Palestinians. The world has ignored the immense and unfathomable suffering of Palestinians for too long - while they are being uprooted and erased from their own land. As the occupying power, Israel must comply with its legal obligation to protect the Palestinian population from violence and ensure their access to human rights.
Israel realizes that with plummeting support in the US (at such exponential rate) the window for war grows smaller by the day. These reports are them beating the drums of war for an escalation before their window of opportunity (US unconditional military support) closes.
Israeli officials are shocked by Iran’s rapid military recovery after the 2026 war.
Despite thousands of strikes, Iran is rebuilding its ballistic-missile capabilities much faster than expected, potentially restoring its arsenal to pre-war levels by 2027 and becoming a "major threat" again by 2028.

Bruh I love emma fourreau but wtf is this trend from progressive to just bitch 24/7 at ‘the gov’? Like is it the gov job to also provide everyone with umbrellas when it rains too?
Deux siècles. L’éclipse de ce 12 août 2026 était déjà connue il y a deux siècles. C’était pas assez pour le gouvernement qui n’a rien anticipé !
Pas de campagne de prévention massive, pénurie de lunettes.
For sure, l’État a failli dans la protection de la population face à cet évènement exceptionnel.
