Hey it's Friday and the Canadian oil industry made $1.5 billion in profits this week.

"Pope says he does not fear US president" is an interesting thing to see on the news ticker while catching a train.
This is how we are going to get our butlerian jihad
some people you can recruit, other people you have to simply defeat. politics makes more sense when you accept this
what was the name of the guy Reagan armed in Afghanistan again
Genuine question: was there a single world leader that was anywhere even close to adequately responding to the US' threats of genocide today?
81 year old Korean Do Keum-Yeun stating "I hate all American presidents" at a 2017 protest
Incredibly cowardly statement calling on "all parties" to respect international law. There is only one side of this conflict which is the aggressor, and only one side of this conflict which is explicitly threatening genocide: The US-Israel axis.
Every Canadian citizen who has served in the IDF over the past 3 years should be subject to a rigourous criminal investigation. This should not be a controversial position.

Hot take: The American regime absolutely cannot continue to publicly threaten Western Asia with a nuclear apocalypse even if all the experts think that Trump is not being serious.
I know our hysteria might come across as amusing to you but our history with your regime 100% validates that hysteria.
Imagine if the roles were reversed and Iran had the madman with nukes. A guy who destroyed a 250 year old democracy in about a year. Started a war for no reason. And then he posted that he was gonna end American civilization. How would you feel about Iranians saying "relax he's not serious"
“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.
The United States needs to become a pariah state sanctioned into oblivion even for threatening this, let alone if it’s carried out.
The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh
The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."
FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."
hmm
This is a beautiful tribute and once again @davidmoscrop.com has written things I was thinking but didn't know how to say www.davidmoscrop.com/p/canada-has...
Mainstream media: Avi Lewis is a radical extremist who will try to implement his father's communist horror dystopia and destroy the nation.

Mainstream media: Stephen Lewis was a bold visionary who showed everyone the best of what Canada could be through social democracy.
We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy but because you've seen the other shit this country spends tax money on. At least going to the moon is cool.
According to Mehr News Agency, a semi-official Iranian outlet, Kamal Kharazi, a former Iranian foreign minister, was injured in what it described as an attack on residential buildings in Tehran by the United States and Israel on Wednesday. Kharazi was considered a veteran policy expert and a moderate politician and the head of Iran’s Foreign Policy Council, which sets the country’s overall foreign policy. Two Iranian officials said Kharazi had been overseeing engagement with Pakistan for a possible meeting between Iranian officials and Vice President JD Vance. The officials said the targeting of Kharazi is being viewed as an attempt to derail diplomacy.
This is the sort of gangsterism that even Genghis Khan found to be offensive, it breaks a taboo that predates the very idea of true international law.
Ben Gvir's equivalent in US politics would be literally if the leader of the Aryan Nations splinter group The Order were elected to Congress and given a cabinet position instead of dying in a shootout with the FBI.
It's difficult to explain how much of a supremacist extremist Ben Gvir is.
NEW: Global Affairs Canada may have simply scrubbed the word "Israel" from an artillery propellant contract with the USA without receiving any assurance that the goods would not end up in Israel.

Avi Lewis: "We have shoved Canada Post so far into the market mindset that every few months we have a national conversation about why isn't Canada Post making money. Does the ambulance service make money? Do the police services make money? We're talking about a fundamental public service."
James @GoodVibePolitik X.com A friend in Cuba just notified me that every single patient in that hospital that was on ventilators died tonight. I don't have words. James @GoodVibePolitik•4h There's something supremely saddening and enraging about seeing a hospital running on bare minimum power. Thinking about dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others tonight in Cuba. This is a blockade of death. THE THE B
What the US is purposefully doing to Cuba should be considered genocide.
Trump just put in charge of Iran a guy considered to be a hardliner *before* we killed his father, mother, and wife. We helped cement his rule by blowing up a girls elementary school, scorching their skies, and cutting off their water. We should expect retaliation—and blame Republicans for it.
screenshot of text::"The United Nations instituted International Women’s Day (IWD) in 1975—or so the official story runs. Few remember not only that the origins of March 8 lie in the history of the international workers’ movement, but that it was the socialist movement in the United States that first launched the idea of a day devoted to women’s rights centered on working-class women. In fact, the Socialist Party USA first established a day of education and action around women’s rights called “Woman’s Day” in 1908, and the following year U.S. socialists held demonstrations in several cities to demand women’s suffrage. In 1910, German socialist Clara Zetkin proposed the transformation of the U.S. Woman’s Day into an international day of action—International Working Women’s Day—which, in 1914, started being celebrated on March 8. Three years later, on March 8, 1917, Russian women workers took to the streets in St. Petersburg, organizing a strike to demand bread and peace. It was the beginning of the Russian Revolution."

NEW @thenation.com: The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad. What we did at home yesterday is what we do in Iran today is what we will do at home tomorrow. The way we break the cycle is straightforward: abolition.
Genuinely insane story: Israeli soldiers entered a small town in rural Lebanon and started literally digging up graves looking for the body of an Israeli who has been dead for decades. When residents of the area fought back, the invaders called in airstrikes and killed dozens of people.
