@sezduck If I check out a book from the future, and don't collect it, does the library pay me the inverse amount it would have fined me were I to return it late?

The Trump administration right now:

🤡 Alex Pretti was a domestic terrorist!

🤨 No, he was a nurse.

🤡 Well… but he brandished a weapon!

🤨 No, he never drew the gun he carried.

🤡 Well… but he was armed.

🤨 No, ICE removed his weapon, before they shot him.

🤡 Well… But he was impeding ICE!

🤨 No, not a single video show him doing that.

🤡 You do not know any of this, because there has not been an independent investigation.

🤨 Will there be an independent investigation?

🤡 No!

This is what American 'bravery' looks looks like 2026.

@ErikJonker if Canada makes deals with 1.4 billion people in China, 1.4 billion people in India, 450 million people in the EU, 270 million people in the Mercosur countries and 127 million people in Mexico it no longer needs to worry about tariffs imposed on 342 million schmucks in the USA.

How horribly embarrassing to be an American today.

Trump’s letter to Norway is staggering. He suggests peace is optional if he doesn’t get a prize, blames the wrong people for the Nobel, and demands “complete and total control” of Greenland. This isn’t diplomacy — it’s grievance, entitlement, and colonial thinking wrapped in a tantrum.

With the insanity of the last week in the US I can't help asking, what are people Not talking about?

1. Gaza
2. Ukraine
3. Epstein Files.

It smells bad.

Congratulations to the US. You got yourself a colony.

Oh, by the way, if you think your colonial hosts are going to welcome you, you might be a little surprised.

About 20 million Americans are waking up today asking themselves if universal healthcare might be a good idea. And they will be motivated by one thing. Self interest.

In Canada we have universal healthcare because we won't live in a society that ignores seniors, or people who are a colour other than the one we see each day in the mirror. We protect LGBTQ folks, the weak and the homeless. And if by chance we need healthcare, well that's an added bonus.

That's how civilized people live.

In view of the rapists desire to illegally rename the Kennedy Centre, here in #Vancouver I feel we should follow his lead.

There is sewage treatment plant on Lulu Island which we could rename the Donald Trump waste processing facility. There's a landfill nearby too. Plenty of options.

"The (major non-American allied nation) officer then said that even a swift return of America to its former role won’t matter.

Because “we will never fucking trust you again.”

The Americans at the table seemed somewhat startled by the heat of that pronouncement. I agreed with it entirely. So, it seemed to me, did most of the non-Americans."

Here is 2025 in a nutshell

A screenshot of a tweet by Rev. Nenê PhD (@NeneHilarious). It reads: “You may be deciding between insulin and groceries while the CEOs decide between Paris or Barcelona, but at least that one trans girl in your state can’t play badminton anymore,” followed by a thumbs-up emoji.

There will be a day, when all these #MAGAts, #Israelis and #Russians will be begging for mercy.

And when that day comes, they’ll act like the #nazis did at Nüremburg trials: They’ll ask for our leniency, they’ll say: You’re supposed to be #woke so don’t you see I was just being used by the social structures around me?

And I want you to remember what those trials did: They were hard on them. Because that was the foundation of a new world where acts like that don’t fly.

You’ll need to do that.
