#TheAmericanFascist wants to Tariff everything from Canada again. Time to implement the Digital Services Tax, and no take backs this time.

(edit: and here's an idea, match it to whatever cumulative number of percentage Trump has on Canada? 50% steel plus 50% copper plus 35% everything else. Sounds like 135% DST to me by his math!)

The people mocking Mamdani for eating with his hands have no issue with white people eating burgers chicken & fries with their hands

The people mocking Mamdani for identifying as African American despite being born in Uganda have now issue with a white billionaire identifying as African American

The people mocking Mamdani for saying America can do better had no issue with making President the white guy who ran on “America isn’t great”

It’s not patriotism they’ve embraced—it’s white supremacy.

And to those saying Texans "deserved it" because they voted red, y'all need to chill.

Notwithstanding that Texas is a voter suppression state, our compassion cannot ever be limited to our fellow human beings. Let's be and demand better.

Canada is ranked the 5th freest country in the world. America is ranked 57th.

Happy Canada Day!!!

China's Clean Energy Boom Could Win the Race to Power the Future

Beijing is selling clean energy to the world, Washington is pushing oil and gas. Both are driven by national security.

Happy Canada Day’s Eve!

Remember to leave arts and crafts for the ghost of Mr Dressup.

Otherwise you’re in big, big trouble.
