obsessed with this 22 minute headway 😍

Everyone has a québécois doppelgänger. Like Chantal Hebert and Fran Lebowitz.

anitaheads unite, for this is our call to battle

The absence, to date, of any reports in US media citing anonymous aides saying something like, “Trump is dead serious about this,” has been an important variable in how I’ve interpreted the Trump-🇨🇦 story. This one breaks the pattern.

I mean, it’s so obvious with the electricity surcharge - they all collectively flipped out over a simple surcharge, not even a complete ban. What would happen if Canada was serious about slowing all energy exports? Does that not prove our worth?

The internal inconsistency of Trump’s claim that they “don’t need anything from Canada” while simultaneously threatening annexation will never cease to amaze. If we’re useless, why demand we submit?

lmaooooo not this

Trade war truce? Not so fast. Trump has Canada's auto sector in his sights

Fentanyl was not his main target. His team has made that clear

A fitting technology for the ultramodern Green Line

La visite à la Maison-Blanche a coûté 85 000 $ US Les premiers ministres des provinces et territoires ont eu recours aux services d’un lobbyiste proche de l’un des fils du président américain.

Great quotes here from a Canadian official — viewing the provincial premiers as rubes who went to DC, learned it’s not actually that easy dealing with Trump, paid $85,000 for a meeting with senior-mid-level staff, got publicly ridiculed after by that Trump staff

That doesn't mean Project 2025 isn't also heavily in the mix. It definitely is! But the assault is coming from different angles: Project 2025. The tech broligarchs. The America First nativists. And it's genuinely unclear how much coordination there is between Musk and the other Trumpist factions.

At 10:50 in the morning!?

One of the real problems is that too many people conveniently believe the opposite of diversity is merit, and the opposite of inclusion is high standards.

Yeah, that’s just not the case.

(See: Pete Hegseth among countless others.)

Any position held by a Democrat that isn’t shared by 95% of Americans is a fatal political error but Trump can pardon people who were convicted of assaulting police officers and call for the elimination of FEMA and it’s cool

Far-right pundit rails against women in law enforcement: ‘It’s an absurdity!’ ‘If we’re being honest, female cops are absurd. It’s an absurdity. I’m sorry. It’s just ridiculous. It’s cartoonish,’ Matt Walsh ranted on his podcast this week

This entire project is *very expliclty* about fully purging black people and women from huge swaths of public life, employment and education.

The amount of runners still out in Boston in -10 weather… simply pathological!

Have you heard about that giant bathhouse in Switzerland? Yeah I think it’s called the large hardon collider?

angel down

I s2g there is more Québécois French being spoken in this Fort Lauderdale Target than in some parts of Montreal

The only shoes she needs for today’s FES will be running shoes to get away from this cabinet

what do we think rupaul meant when she said “turn to the left miss Kilimanjaro”?

An expensive, stupid and deadly self-inflicted wound to his own Province by weakening its largest city and economic engine, all due to pettiness and to distract and rage-farm for political gain. Imagine weakening your Province’s success and endangering its people knowingly just to help yourself.

not to make this about *me*, but if nafta is shredded what happens to my visa status…

first bread price fixing, now potatoes… which starch will be next?!

alright divas, what fresh hell awaits us this week? The reanimated corpse of Goebbels for education secretary?

broseph? broel was right there!
