Donald Trump has always vilified disability in this way.

Carney fans, rationalize away!
87. Do not introduce a Canadian version of the US "Patriot Act" with unconstitutional police powers including "lawful access".

The Conservatives can’t offer much opposition, since Carney basically stole their playbook. The NDP’s a whole different matter. Carney and the Liberals are attacking things that they support.
Sad, and I especially hate it because she's Indigenous and represents the north, but true. The NDP need to absolutely separate themselves from the LibCon and ConCon parties.
Again, floor-crossers should have to run for the new party in a byelection or else what is the point of elections?
Canada's attempt at a patriot act is coming back tomorrow, and you know they are gonna use Tumbler Ridge as the excuse for "lawful access". Don't fall for it, it's about counter-insurgency, not "making kids safe again"

Canada belatedly suggests that the USA & Israel should comply with international law.
At the same time as the Carney government votes down a bill that pleads with it to comply with international law.
"The rules based order just up & died. Such a shame." says a guy actively stabbing it in the back.
Nearly 700,000 people have been driven from their homes as Israeli strikes continue. Three cargo ships report being hit by unknown projectiles in and near the Strait of Hormuz. Qatar, Saudi Arabia Kuwait, U.A.E. and Oman say they have intercepted drones and missiles.
Nearly 700,000 people have been driven from their homes in Lebanon due to Israeli bombing, according to the New York Times.
Considering they couldn’t properly evacuate U.S. citizens from the area BEFORE dropping bombs I’m not surprised
So far it looks like the US plan in Iran is:
1. Bomb Iran
2. ??????
3. Temporarily feel unconfused enough to declare victory

🎙️New episode of Infectious Dose is live.
And this is such an important conversation.
I’m joined by biomedical researcher @mark-ungrin.bsky.social to talk about something we don’t discuss enough:
What happens when scientific errors become institutional policy.

No one could have foreseen this.
Wow, Gulf shippers are in a real bind here. On one hand, Donald says everything's fine and Gulf shippers should sail on thru. On the other hand: massive boat-melting fireballs. Both sides make good points!
almost literally Trump tonight
we’re doing the meme ourselves now
Just posted the links!
ICYMI, here's the video series Arijit Chakravarty and I did on cancer, including one on COVID.
Episode 1: youtu.be/58OoTO2ZawA?...
Episode 2: youtu.be/R-bIooXuEPw?...
Episode 3: youtu.be/ios3UTB3UGY?...
Episode 4: youtu.be/ttPolkAIXco?...
Then democracy loses, he will thoroughly ignore parliament, and we will get omnibus bills from hell.

Have you seen the video series that Arijit Chakravarty and I did?
Carney's Minister of Digital Asbestos Integration will never take on AI companies.
I believe Grammarly's legal team consists of Atticus Finch*, Thomas Jefferson*, Clarence Darrow*, Perry Mason*, and Portia*.
(* May be AI)
All that to say, the relatively paltry $8 mil was promised to these NGOs so despite the framing by Anand, it will do little to alleviate the immediate crisis. But Canadian airlines cancelling flights to Cuba is definitely aggravating the crisis and giving moral support to Trump. Villain behaviour.
Dodecocracy: a government run by men who behave like 12 year old boys.
86. Close the loopholes that allow Canada to be complicit in arming genocide (even if it might upset Trump).

In case you wonder why. Appeasement over values, once again.
www.readthemaple.com/liberals-fea...
Wouldn't you?
The Liberals and Conservatives voted down this bill to close loopholes on Canadian complicity in genocide. Remind me again how it doesn't matter if the NDP hold balance of power in a minority?
