On this International Women’s Day, we remain vigilant about what we must protect.
And we remain determined about accomplishing the work ahead.
Whole speech is worth watching.
You can ignore science, but science will never ignore you.

This our 20th annual #TopRisks report at Eurasia Group. It is a bumper crop in 2026 — the most complex and potentially consequential risk environment in memory.

As the cabinet was announced, pollster David Coletto of Abacus Data shared some research his firm carried out in 2024. He found that the vast majority of Canadians had no idea who top cabinet ministers were. Couldn’t even pick them out of a lineup, @davidmoscrop.com writes.
Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry @pegobry_en Let's say you're a US citizen and ICE grabs you off the street and puts you on a plane to Mongolia. Don't you just go to your consulate, give them your name, date of birth, etc., they make you a new passport, and you fly home? They do this all day for tourists who had their stuff & ID stolen, there are procedures. I mean obviously it sucks to have that happen to you but it's not like your life is over or anything. And the government should definitely write you a nice check as an apology. 3:13 PM • 4/16/25
didn't take much for these guys to go from "big government is bad" to "what's the big deal if you're abducted by the government and trafficked to Mongolia"
Couldn't have said it better myself.

For those breaking the constitution on behalf of Donald Trump with the assumption that he has your back: he may. But he’s 78, never exercised in his life, and will be president max another 3.5 years. There will be not statute of limitations for violating it
BREAKING: Canada announces it will build a coalition of countries who share their values to build their economy and trade opportunities and will exclude the United States.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney:
"If the United States no longer wants to lead, Canada will."
This is what real leadership looks like.
Pierre Poilievre: Canada First
Danielle Smith: Or Else We Shoot Canada
Carney: Canada must be looking elsewhere to expand our trade, to build our economy, and to protect our sovereignty. Canada is ready to take a leadership role in building a coalition of likeminded countries who share our values… If the US no longer wants to lead, Canada will
Canada is ready to lead.
The Musk family just looks better and better 🙄
Kamala Harris: There were many things that we knew would happen.. I’m not here to say I told you so
BREAKING: Kia’s official Instagram account in Norway just posted this..
Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.
“Today, the US launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying murderous dictator. Make that makes sense”
Justin Trudeau
Prime Minister of Canada
This is the end game of all his bullshit prob right, that some version of Twitter becomes the central hub for the entire federal government?
Five weeks in, there's an emerging pattern in how the Trump administration moves to target federal employees. And it begins with Elon Musk bringing in tactics he's employed at his various businesses.
Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷♂️
Who's going to tell her where the funds for her paycheques come from? Gawd, she's the absolute worst. Painful.
You know about that move? Seems like you're settling into Canada nicely. 🙌🍻
