Frankly, that is an accurate assessment. A large portion of Americans currently ARE bad. Not a small group or a few bad apples.

It gives me some comfort to see that Americans also see that. Maybe there is hope for them after all?

Americans need to decide if they want to be “good Germans”

Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands Global survey shows young men and boys hold more traditional views about gender roles than older generations

It's easy to think of Boomer men as the guardians of "tradition." Yet surveys show GenZ men have more "traditional" ideas about gender roles. 59% of GenZ men, for ex, say men are expected to do too much to support gender equality, compared to 45% of Boomer men.

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.

I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.

They also didn’t pay cover 🖕

I’m seeing a lot of NATO nations talk about article 5 and defending each other if attacked. Our NATO allies were strangely quiet when America was threatening to attack Canada. We felt pretty alone then.

Just saying. I’m not as inclined to step up right now.

This is the first bilateral visit by a Canadian PM to Australia in two decades. In a more uncertain world, we turn to our long-standing partners who share our values and our ambition to build.

Maritime provinces sign onto almost country-wide, coast-to-coast energy grid agreement An agreement has been struck between eight provinces and two territories to create a coast-to-coast energy grid and better secure the country’s power sovereignty.

This is great news!
This MOU ties into PM Carney's plan to double our electricity grid.
It also ties into the East Coast's Wind West which PM Carney also fully supports.
Sadly Quebec hasn't signed on so they are cutting off access to/for the East Coast.

I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal.

After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos.

Here’s my investigation:

I agree. I fully endorsed Trudeau’s focus on climate change initiatives as tmost economically responsible & sensible for the future.

Unfortunately, other voters don’t seem to care. Or not enough. And carbon pricing, banning single use plastic, EV incentives, etc seem to have fallen out of favour.
