Who peed in your cornflakes today?

A US customs spokesman previously said they could not discuss specific cases but that travellers were treated with “integrity, respect and according to law”.

Bullshit. Too many stories are coming out that prove that’s a lie.

Fuck America and fuck Trump.

Two officials, one from the European Union and one from Canada, with direct knowledge of the discussions said detailed talks were underway to incorporate Canada into the European Union’s new defense initiative. The goal is to boost the E.U.’s defense industry and eventually offer a credible alternative to the United States, which is now dominant.

Specifically, the officials said, Canada would be able to become part of the European military manufacturing roster, marketing its industrial facilities to build European systems like the Saab Gripen jet, a competitor to the American F-35, which is made by Lockheed Martin.

A good news day!

Glad to see Carney fast-tracking the important stuff. I knew we could count on him.

And America wonders why younger generations are disengaged.

• One in 10 children will experience contact sexual abuse in the U.S. before age 18
• More than 50% of sex abuse survivors were sexually abused before the age of 12
• One in 25 children (10-17) will receive an online sexual solicitation
• Of substantiated reports of child maltreatment in the US, 9% were unique survivors of sexual abuse
• The average age for a minor to enter the sex trade is 12 – 14
• 42.2% girls experiencing their first completed rape did so before the age of 18 (29.9% between 11-17 years old and 12.3% at or before age 10)
• Over one-quarter of male victims of completed rape experienced their first rape at or before the age of 10
• Children with disabilities are 2.9 times more likely than children without disabilities to be sexually abused
• Children with intellectual and mental health disabilities appear to be the most at risk, with 4.6 times the risk of sexual abuse as their peers without disabilities
• At least 31% of girls and 7% of boys involved in the juvenile justice system have been sexually abused Source

They also want an elimination of the federal government’s cap on emissions, the repeal of the federal carbon levy on large emitters and loan guarantees to help Indigenous co-investment opportunities.

O&G trying to take advantage of the current situation to make more money and fuck the environment.

Fucking assholes.

A tiger can’t change its stripes. Too bad Ontarians forgot that during their last election.

Face-eating leopards and tigers are running rampant there now and I have little sympathy left for ON.

In the read out from the PCC meeting on Friday, it says the participating agencies “recognize the need for the United States to take strong action to counter this devastating situation, but these bureaus share significant policy concerns with the Executive Order as drafted.”

Those concerns include the fact that the EO “cites a statute that does not entail an authority to ‘designate’ substances as WMD,” concerns about “negative effects on entities that legitimately handle, ship, and deliver opioids for pharmaceutical purposes,” and acknowledges that “fentanyl can be treated as a chemical weapon when it is developed or used as a weapon…which risks muddying clearly defined roles and responsibilities between the counternarcotics, counterproliferation, and arms control communities.”

Trump has blown by just blurring the lines since he was sworn in. He’s wiping them out completely.

Honestly I’d prefer that we keep the Irving’s greedy fucking hands off any Canadian military contracts.

They’re about as trustworthy as Trump ffs.

T3’s are the only thing that work for me. Used to get 30 per year and just used them for the really bad days.

Since I stopped working I don’t neeed them at all, except once from shovelling the driveway.

The Conservative national campaign director told media outlets Tuesday their journalists won’t be allowed to travel with leader Pierre Poilievre on his campaign plane and bus during the upcoming election, ending a decades-old tradition of reporters embedding with a prospective candidate to lead the country.

There is no recent precedent for a major federal party barring reporters, producers, camera operators and broadcast technicians from travelling with a leader during a national election campaign.

Yeah, being a secretive asswipe is how you get Canadians to trust you. 🙄

Your’s is better than mine. Gonna change it rn.

Thanks!

Free range vs pasture raised in America

Canada is a bit different in its designations. ‘Free run’ means they’re in the barn and ‘free range’ means they have access outside the barn (weather permitting ofc).

There is no such fucking thing as an agreement when one of the primary parties isn’t even invited to the gd fucking meeting.

Just when I think America’s level of stupidity is almost at its zenith, I get slapped back into reality.

I think in the short term he’ll just keep the status quo, if for no other reason than there’s a shit ton of stuff that needs to taken care of NOW.

When the writ drops and a timeline is established he’ll run in the federal election, after most of the planning is already completed.

… security threats don’t feel close until your windows start to shake.

So very true.

Was talking to my much-younger brother the other day and his response to me speaking about America’s possible incursion was to shrug his shoulders. My bro is highly-educated and doesn’t support MAGA at all, but his lackadaisical response kind of blew me away.

It is true Amaerica may not try to invade us, but it is also equally true they may … and I’d rather be prepared for the worst than be frozen in place by its arrival.

The boosted healthcare funding that JT gave the provinces isn’t bound by the same rules tho, as every province refused to sign the agreement forcing the extra billions to be spent on healthcare alone.

For the most part the premiers love their little fiefdoms and will protect them with our lives.

Harper did more damage to Canada than almost any other PM (selling CWB, signing the FIPPA with China, etc). The fact that he’s back here (secretly?) advising PP makes me sick to my stomach.
