.@doniveson in 2015 a wildlife photographer friend said to me re: LUCY, "The animal is broken in body and spirit." Where's your conscience?

New contracts for Canadian suppliers. Good jobs for Canadian workers. Paycheques staying in Canadian communities. For the first time in four decades, VIA Rail passenger cars will be built in Canada.

Totally agree with him. And I am shocked the news media let this threat of genocide against an entire country from a US president's speech to the UN, let it slide completely with little scrutiny.

Tucker Carlson told NPR that Donald Trump should be removed from office via the 25th Amendment over his threats against Iran.

This is what insanity looks like. And he has the nuclear codes to sell or bargain with. 25th Amendment now.

Canada has the longest coastline on Earth, bordering three oceans. We have an obligation to protect them.

Princess Margaret Hospital receives massive anonymous donation - giving hope to cancer patients everywhere. And it’s unrestricted meaning the donor fully trusts cancer experts how to allocate it. Historical. Canada’s publicly funded healthcare system. @UHN @pmcancercentre @KevinSmithUHN thestar.com/news/gta/princes…

It’s worth a careful listen to the NPR interview with Tucker Carlson. He does not say Trump simply made a bad choice on Iran or ignored the risks. Carlson asserts that Trump was *not in control.* “I don’t think he had the latitude to make this decision on his own.” 1/2

i once again ask what in the hell is going on with Trump's huge ass and the contraption he has on it

Prime Minister Mark Carney over the past year has prepared for the unlikely risk that President Donald Trump might order military action against Canada, a news report says. The New York Times, citing an interview with Mr. Carney, said he had described the probability of such action as “extreme tail risk.” It’s a term used in finance and risk management, and refers to a very rare event that would cause enormous damage but is so unlikely that people tend to ignore or underestimate it. The Globe reported in January that the Canadian Armed Forces have modelled a hypothetical U.S. military invasion of Canada and the country’s potential response, which includes tactics similar to those employed against Russia and later U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan. It attributed this to senior government sources. This is believed to be the first time in a century that the Forces had created a model of an American assault on this country, a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and a partner with the U.S. in continental air defence. theglobeandmail.com/politics…

The monarch butterfly population has gone up this season by 64% and one of the reasons is because people are planting pollinators gardens. Look what we can do together with a common goal in mind. We need to plant more next year as their population is still not stable.

The fact that WH thinks this is a positive and somehow impresses the head of the Chinese Communist Party shows you how far off the deep end this presidency has gone. And how little they understand the challenge China presents.

Among the invited guests at tonight's state dinner: Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

With great sadness, we received information about the passing of Auschwitz Survivor Julia Wallach, who died at the age of 101. Julia Wallach, née Kac, was born on 14 June 1925 in Paris as the only daughter of Polish Jewish immigrants. During the German occupation of France in July 1942, her mother Marie was arrested in the Vel’ d’Hiv roundup. Julia never saw her again. On 24 April 1943, Julia and her father Joseph were arrested after being denounced. They were imprisoned in Drancy. On 23 June 1943, they were deported to Auschwitz in transport no. 55. Julia was 18 years old. In the camp, she was registered as prisoner no. 46645. Her father did not survive. Julia owed her survival in part to one of her cousins, whom she met there, and who advised her never to miss work, under any circumstances, or she too would go "up the chimney". Julia listened and went to work, even though she was extremely ill with typhus. In January 1945, she was taken on an evacuation march. During the following months, she was transferred westward, including to Ravensbrück. In April 1945, she managed to escape during a death march and eventually reached American soldiers. After the war, she recovered the family apartment in Paris, married a fellow survivor, and raised two children. From the 1960s onward, and with growing intensity in recent decades, Wallach spoke regularly in schools and public events about her deportation and life in Auschwitz. In the 2020s her testimony reached wider audiences through films made by her granddaughter, filmmaker Frankie Wallach. In 2022, she was awarded the Légion d’honneur for her educational work. May her memory be a blessing. Photo: thelastones.org/temoin/julia…

For Chinese state media - and, rest assured, its media is firmly under government control - to have greater access than U.S. media on U.S. soil is a remarkable propaganda victory for Beijing.

Unfortunately there's another new development: The White House has barred two CNN journalists from covering Xi Jinping’s arrival back at the WH for a state dinner, "after trying to tell the network which type of journalists could cover the event." Details: cnn.com/2026/09/24/politics/…

Today in Maple Ridge I committed to bringing in new "Built in B.C. and Canada" rules for public infrastructure. Trump's trade war reaches into the price of food, the cost of building a home and the paycheques of British Columbians. So we're going to become our own best customer. Every school, hospital and transit line we build will put B.C. and Canadian wood, steel, aluminum and cement to work first, with penalties for U.S.-made goods. We'll start with the North Coast Transmission Line: 70% Canadian steel in Phase 1, 100% in Phase 2. The conservative parties have called on B.C. to "comply" with Trump, shared a map of Western Canada as a "Protectorate of the United States" and told Trump's ambassador they'd put American booze back on our shelves as a "measure of good faith." That's the direction they want to take this province. I will never roll over. We'll build B.C. strong by building it right here.

why is alleged private citizen Ivanka Trump sitting by JD Vance, Rubio, and Bessent?

Marine Le Pen has vowed no more funding for Ukraine, should she become president of France. “It is a direct threat” to supporting Kyiv, says European Commission President @vonderleyen. “Ukraine is securing our safety and security right now. They are fighting for our freedom.”

The EU & Canada are moving ever closer. Canada “cannot be a member of the EU because of geography, [but] it’s the only reason,” European Commission President @vonderleyen tells me. “We want to be as close as possible – and it’s not only values-based, it’s also interest-based.”
