Israel is pursuing ethnic cleansing and annexation in Lebanon, while threatening to turn its cities into Gaza, a clear indication of its genocidal intent. It appears that Canada is content to be a bystander, or worse, an accomplice to genocide. www.cjpme.org/pr_2026_03_2...
CJPME urges the Canadian government to condemn Israel's apartheid death penalty law, which applies to Palestinians but not Jewish Israelis convicted of identical crimes, and sever all military and security coordination with Israel. www.cjpme.org/pr_2026_03_3...
Bishop Marian Budde is my new hero. What a fantastically brave and principled woman
Donald Trump posted dozens of late-night, incoherent messages about the 2020 election while tensions with Iran escalated. Serious questions about his mental state continue to grow.
Khanna: "You have the pope lecturing America about possible war crimes. You have the president threatening to destroy all power plants. What have we achieved? We've created devastation."
A bombshell new report reveals that top military officials have kept Trump out of the room during Iran war operations because they fear his erratic behavior will put troops in harm’s way.

Canada named most positive leader on world stage
“Canada is seen as the No. 1 world influencer for the 10th year in a row.”
BREAKING: New data shows ZERO oil tankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, signaling what appears to be a complete shutdown of the Strait for the first time in history.
The Strait normally carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply.
PM Carney: “The U.S. has changed we must respond.”
Our biggest strength became our biggest risk.
Time to stop relying on a neighbour acting like a rival.
Canada builds: new allies, new markets, new strategy. 🇨🇦

The post reads: “This is what I told Reuters today: The UAE no longer needs America to defend it, as it has proven during the Iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction. What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons that America has. Therefore, it is time to think about closing the American bases, as they are a burden and not a strategic asset.” The post is labeled “Translated from Arabic by Grok” and shows a timestamp of 10:21 AM · 4/19/26 with 139K views.
NEW: UAE scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla says the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a “burden, not a strategic asset” and suggesting they should be closed. The United States’ standing in the region has been obliterated.
🚨 Trump claims a U.S. Navy destroyer intercepted an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman—and says U.S. forces “blew a hole in the engine room” after the crew refused orders—adding the vessel is now in U.S. custody.
If true, that’s a direct military strike despite a supposed ceasefire.
The Adjudicated Rapist-in-Chief claims he could bring down the Papacy, the Vatican & the entire Catholic Church overnight.
Pope Leo: "The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants...
dragging that which is sacred into darkness & filth."
tRUMP: "I'm not a fan of Pope Leo."

A people systematically erased, their homes reduced to rubble, their voices silenced under the pretext of war. But this is not a conflict—it’s a genocide, and the world’s complicity is deafening.

This is BELT TREATMENT 🔥
🇺🇸 Trump –– I feel that countries like Japan and China don't have courage or will to open the Strait of Hormuz
🇨🇳 CHINA –– 🔥 "The Strait of Hormuz was already open before the war. It was you who created war out of nothing and got it closed for the rest of the world" 😂
So what does this tell us?
That the military, legal, political, media power of the United States has thrown their lot in with an unhinged narcissist.
There is why Canada, Europe and other nations are moving as far as they can from the United States.
Pope Leo represents a vision of a better world.
Donald Trump raged at the “weak” Pope Leo XIV in an unhinged Truth Social rant moments after a ‘60 Minutes’ segment highlighting the Catholic leader’s criticisms of the U.S. president.
Péter Magyar victory speech:
"We want to make a country where no one is persecuted because they think differently or because someone loves in a different way to others."
He may not have campaigned as a liberal. But this is a huge change of direction and rhetoric from Orbán’s anti-LGBTQ+ crusade.

Its easy to think voting doesn't matter at a time like this, ive even said "you still think you can vote your way out of this.?" but it dawns on me if it didn't matter they wouldn't be trying to fuck up that system for people so much. Both here in alberta and in the USA.
Way to go JD Vance
The people of this nation should not have to wake every weekend to terrifying announcements from the President of the United States.
Trump is a madman who is making our country—& the entire world—less safe & less prosperous. Congress needs to be in DC to impeach & remove him immediately.
Finally a news organization calls Trump out for insulting yet another female journalist. Why am I not surprised it's not an American media outlet finally finding their longlost courage, but an Irish one? Sigh.
If Melania *really* thought people were lying about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, she would have sued them for defamation to clear her name under oath, not deliver a lame speech full of lies for television.”

The real problem with data centers: they inherently create a serious pollution problem. There is no "closed-loop system" cooling those centers. They consume large amounts of water and produce toxic byproducts. Studies are compromised to hide these problems. REJECT! /P.1
