Screenshot of an article from CBC News. The headline reads: Carney temporarily suspending federal fuel excise tax on gas, diesel and aviation fuel.

We’re cutting taxes on fuel across Canada.

Starting next Monday, you’ll save up to 10¢/L on gas at the pump.

Happy Vaisakhi! Today marks the founding of the Khalsa — an enduring symbol of justice, equality, and seva.

Premier Wab Kinew and I agree that building a strong Canadian economy means building big and building fast.

The new Canada–Manitoba Co-operation Agreement will get big projects like the Port of Churchill Plus built faster.

This is complete BS. Vance admitted right after that he called Trump 12 times during negotiations and Netanyahu once. He had no clear plan to make this happen and no authority to do so even if he did. He was constantly calling his daddies.

Vance admits that Trump’s blockade is an act of economic terrorism against the entire world.

They fly in Door Dash Grandma for a photo op at Trump’s gilded office while he tells the press that he was really a doctor and not Jesus in the meme he posted about curing a sick man by laying hands on him, before handing $100 bill to grandma for her husband’s cancer treatments.

So far Trump/Vance have pissed people off in the following countries with comments about them:

Ukraine
Germany
Denmark
UK
Poland
France
Spain
Italy
Hungary

Am I missing any other European countries?

Why does Trump appoint so many misfits and weirdos?

Trump heading underwater in the polls with white, no college voters really shows that a steady diet of culture war issues specifically directed at them for a decade can be eventually be overcome by stupid wars and personal economic pain. For some, but still not the cultists.

Ben Lerner Hears Ghosts in the Wires Critics read Ben Lerner’s new novel, Transcription, as a commentary on smartphones. But with gothic style and a Victorian temperament, it meditates on a much older technology — the spectral quality of disembodied speech introduced at the dawn of telephonics.

With British Columbians paying the highest gas prices in the country, any relief matters.

Today’s announcement to suspend the federal fuel excise tax is about putting money back in people’s pockets, especially in places like Vancouver where costs hit hardest.

Dobson was evil. 700,000+ people in the USA have undergone conversion therapy, and data shows that LGBTQ+ youth subjected to it are more than twice as likely to attempt suicide. The pipeline Dobson helped build is still running, causing irreparable harm to a new generation of young queer people.

JD Vance says James Dobson was "really influential" to him

James Dobson was an influential American evangelical leader, child psychologist, and author who founded Focus on the Family in 1977, advising several presidents and advocating for traditional family values, corporal discipline, and opposition to abortion and LGBTQ+ rights.

The Curse of Middle-Sized Wars In Iran, Trump risks falling into a familiar trap.

If the United States keeps getting involved in periodic middle-sized wars, “there may be a fatal split between the public and its governing elite,” writes Robert Kaplan. “Such divisions are how republics slowly die.”

Exclusive report: Inside Chernobyl, 40 years after nuclear disaster It was 1.23am when disaster struck. A routine safety test led to a catastrophic explosion. Poor design and inadequate safety procedures saw radioactive material scattered around the globe. In just 48 hours, Chernobyl became the site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster. Forty years later, I have come to Ukraine to learn about its legacy. My first guide is Kateryna Shavanova, an academic who was studying radiation-consuming bacteria at Chernobyl when Russia invaded in 2022, but now works for the Ukrainian army’s chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear risk team. A patch on her uniform roughly translates to “It’s not time to drink iodine yet”, an optimistic reference to the emergency treatment for radiation poisoning. As we shelter from the cold in a former family home in the city of Chernobyl, which sits 15 kilometres south of the nuclear power plant that shares its name, Shavanova explains that, in truth, there is no straightforward answer to whether this region is now safe. It depends on who is asking and what they intend to do. What we can say for certain is that more than 100 different radioactive materials were released by the explosion of Chernobyl’s reactor 4 in 1986. One of...
