Ursula von der Leyen quoting Leonard Cohen: "'There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.' Even in uncertainty, we can choose hope. We can choose courage. We can choose a new beginning."

Good morning from Mount Carmel. Cloudy with some sunshine.
Election results are still incomplete and moods are oscillating. Here are a few certainties, though:
* Netanyahu lost his nationalist-racist-ultra orthodox majority.
* We should hug the 7 October survivors and families, many of whom are in deep pain because the government of massacre is not more decisively ousted.
* Israel‘s liberal-democratic muscle was indeed flexed to the utmost, and guess what? We can’t declare victory without our Arab fellow citizens. This is good. A discourse of Jewish-Arab political partnership is fast becoming the new normal.
* Renewed war against Iran, as Netanyahu and Trump are plotting, spells further political danger and mayhem.
* I and likeminded Israelis remain resilient, alert and very cautiously hopeful. If you have read this far, I will add that it’s my birthday and I may sign off for a while.
Keep tuned.

This is astonishing and quite damning. Kudos again to @DavidWCochrane. This wasn’t what anyone was expecting to hear.

Agradeço muito pelas palavras, primeiro-ministro @MarkJCarney. Esta foi uma vitória da democracia, do multilateralismo e da paz. Seguiremos defendendo o diálogo entre as nações, a justiça social e a preservação ambiental.
Vamos aproveitar essa oportunidade histórica de aproximação entre nossos países. Estamos esperançosos com a conclusão do Acordo MERCOSUL-Canadá.
Sigamos juntos.
Congratulations, President @LulaOficial, on your re-election in Brazil.
The relationship between Canada and Brazil has flourished under our partnership. Let’s seize this opportunity to make it even stronger, together — to create major new trade opportunities, protect the environment, and build greater prosperity for both our peoples.

Il refuse une première rencontre avec les dirigeants des provinces et les chefs des première nations sous prétexte qu'il n'est pas prêt et réclame de prendre la parole dans un sommet Canada- Union Européenne dans la même semaine.
Trouvez le problème de PSPP ?

Réfléchissez! Les relations internationales sont de juridiction fédérale🇨🇦.
Non seulement PSPP veut faire de l’ingérence dans les compétences de @MarkJCarney, il est souverainiste, il déteste le Canada et il l’a prouvé hier!
@partiquebecois joue encore à la victime du fédéral🤮

I believe this will be considered one of the most important videos in US history from this time.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

President Trump at a rally today in Michigan regarding negotiations with Canada: ‘They are willing to give us anything at this moment’. This is total b.s. from Trump. Canada is the only country that has stood up to Trump for his illegal tariffs.

Russia controlling US commercial gas...Musk controlling Starlink
Trump is giving away US.
Trump did this. Nothing to do with peace in Ukraine.

He was never the high minded person he pretended to be. Always a divider, not a uniter

Greg MacEachern on U.S. allegations of election interference: "How can we be ready to be the 51st state, we can't defend ourselves, yet we're such a superpower, we can influence the outcome of an American election? It deserves to be mocked."

No it’s not a “tough situation” or a messy family squabble. It’s a little girl who was raped by her stepfather and abandoned by her mother. Literally anyone with a scrap of decency would be horrified.

A person experiencing homelessness takes a hot shower, washes their clothes, puts on a brand-new pair of clean socks, and says to me:
“I feel like a human being again.”
Imagine that.
Treat people like human beings, and they start to feel like human beings again.
Sometimes, dignity starts with something as simple as a hot shower and a clean pair of socks.
