Trump: I pardoned the J-Sixers. I don't think any group has been treated more unfairly than them. Ross Douthat: Even the ones who attacked police officers? Trump: There were some who got rough, but [capitol police] were rough to them too.

Reconciliation? It is Canada that needs to apologize for the abhorrent way it has treated the United States.

Mark Carney: Canada is prepared to wait for a new US president rather than sign Trump's trade deal. Isn't that a midterm election interference?

Late addition. # 16 "No one else is allowed to install signs on the boulevards as it is considered illegal,"

Trump will now blame Ukraine for destroying US diesel supply chain. It's a friggin joke.

Trump BLASTS President Zelensky: “I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal. He could have made many deals, but for some reason, he never does…I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president.”

President Trump has announced that he has reached a deal with Russia in which they will supply the U.S. with 300,000 tons of diesel immediately, 500,000 tons during November, and 1,000,000 tons after that. He adds that Russia will then deliver 3,000,000 tons within a short period of time. The price of diesel is about to come down.

As a Canadian, we love Starlink @elonmusk Why is Mark Carney going after Starlink and appointing his buddy a new company to compete when he removes Starlink? Allow Canadians to make their own choices He wants to rule like a dictator

Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social tonight that the United States has reached an "Infinite Life Agreement" with Denmark and Greenland, one that gives Washington permanent control over the island's security, bars adversaries from building bases or making sensitive investments there without written American approval, and costs the United States nothing at all. He promised a large new military presence and called the whole thing a dream come true. Denmark confirmed it within the hour. Copenhagen and Nuuk expect to sign next week at the UN General Assembly, and according to Mette Frederiksen the agreement strengthens security in the Arctic and North Atlantic while recognising the Kingdom's sovereignty, its territorial integrity and the Greenlanders' right to decide their own future. Jens-Frederik Nielsen calls it good for the entire Western alliance, and neither of them mentions control, vetoes or eternity. That may be because most of it has been sitting in a drawer since 1951. The defence agreement signed that year, under the NATO umbrella, already lets American forces build bases and move freely across Greenland for as long as the alliance exists. Trump has spent eighteen months threatening an ally to win something America never actually lost. Stay informed, follow @Microinteracti1

Europe is considering a European Security Council, bringing together the EU, UK, Canada, Norway, and Ukraine. What this tells us, and what Mark Carney has said explicitly, is that with two years left of the Trump presidency, nations are planning for a world that doesn't rely on the US. It isn't about cutting them off entirely, it's about building the capacity to trade, legislate, and defend without needing American oversight. Take it from someone living through a post-Brexit reality, you shape power from inside the room, not shouting from outside.

I remain sceptical, but the benefits are obvious. Economically, Canada is the 11th biggest economy in the world, bigger than all but 3 EU member states. Adding it to the common market would immediately give a 10% boost to the EU GDP and likely accelerate growth in the long run. Canada also has plenty of critical natural resources vital to ensure European sovereignty: Oil, Natural Gas, Potash, a catalogue of 34 critical minerals including Lithium and even Uranium. This association would also benefit our common security as Canada is more than willing to boost military cooperation with European countries and is very keen on bilateral investments into our military-industrial sectors. But most importantly it might serve to invigorate the anaemic state of our Union. Associating with Canada would be a win in and of itself but Carney also proposes a grand vision that is clear, constructive, realistic and which hinges on a EU that realises its potential and acts as the benevolent cornerstone of an alternative global architecture. One way or another, Canada is going all-in on the EU. That needs to be worth something.

Donald Trump called on Volodymyr Zelenskiy to stop targeting Russian diesel infrastructure, saying the attacks were causing a shortage of the fuel that is ‘hurting the world’ reut.rs/4ytUTvA

I believe “SHAMPOO” and “CONDITIONER” should be the two biggest words on the bottle. Not size 8 font on a matching background like I’m supposed to solve a fcking puzzle in the shower.

BIG NEWS: After securing 7 million eggs for the people of Texas, I am excited to announce that Texans will now have an opportunity to receive cartons of free eggs in communities across the state.

The concept of “Canadian tequila” is simple. It can be made from Canada balsam, the same core ingredient in Buckley’s. If you’ve ever had Buckley’s, you already know. One shot and you’re growing chest hair, apologizing for it, and shovelling the driveway.

This is a reminder that on January 7th, 2025, Donald Trump openly stated that he would use economic force to acquire Canada. NONE OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH TRADE - IT NEVER HAS.
