Walz: We don’t need to run government like a business, because we’re not in the profit-making business. We’re in the business of improving lives and looking toward the future.

And second, this guy has a proven track record of being an absolute failure.

The bottom line, in my humble opinion, is that the results of this election show that Poilievre has polarized this country. The NDP and Greens suffered huge losses as the center and left were too threatened to vote for what they believed but voted defensively. Cons support was due to misinformation.

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Jair Bolsonaro charged over alleged far-right coup plot to seize power in Brazil Former president is charged by attorney general following police report that accused him of organising a conspiracy to stop Luiz InΓ‘cio Lula da Silva taking power.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

β€œIn the meantime, I would own this,” Trump said of Gaza. 😳 Is he aiming to personally profit? Or is he speaking on behalf of U.S.

Is Trump saying that he personally would own Gaza, or does he mean that US would own it? Utterly absurd in either case.

Canada's PUBLIC broadcaster; no paywall and nonpartisan. Keep it that way please.

Need balance to foreign-owned right wing corporate media conglomerates; lest we become thoroughly propagandized like American Fox and OAN zombies.

With tariff threat paused for now, Poilievre renews call for Parliament to resume | CBC News With aΒ historic trade war on pause,Β at least for now, Conservative Leader Pierre PoilievreΒ is renewing his calls for Parliament to resume sitting.

Former Alberta premier Ralph Klein used to say,”it’s easy to lead. Just find a parade and get in front of it.” Unfortunately, PP seems to have misunderstood this because the parade has turned off and gone a different way behind him.
