I am an American who lives in Canada.
Canadian politics focus on the US because a supposed ally started an unprovoked trade war & threatened to invade Canada. Cost of living is increasing in both because of Trump’s tariffs, incompetence, & your destruction of our democracy.
And with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.
The fault lies with your leadership, elected by you.

Grieving the loss of one of my best friends, Jim Lovell. His extraordinary legacy is cemented by many space missions: Gemini VII, Gemini XII, Apollo 8 and Apollo 13.
Our mutual respect had no limits. The Gemini XII mission we flew together paved the way for the Apollo missions.
Heartfelt condolences to Jim’s family.
Farewell Jim. You will be missed, my friend. Godspeed!

Went to the Moon twice, flew in space 4 times, commanded Apollo 13 - Jim Lovell has died at 97. A superb, humble and inspiring man. Rest in peace.

I agree with David Brooks 💯%: “At least semi-responsible for the deaths of probably by the end of this, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. That's Elon Musk’s legacy. The people who work at Tesla and SpaceX might want to think about that."

Mr. Poilievre isn't allowing reporters to travel with him, not allowing questions, trying to obtain questions beforehand and pushing away reporters. Why is he different than prior Conservative leaders and other party leaders. Evan Dyer is a respected journalist. @EvanDyerCBC

RFK Jr "...made over $20,000 per week as chairman of Children’s Health Defense..."
I'm sure all the trolls who feel academics receiving peer-reviewed grants (that don't pay them a dine) is an unforgivable COI will be absolutely horrified by this realization!
