“I encourage the Prime Minister to move on the promise of a 300,000-person civilian defence force. I know Canadians will continue holding the line. We can build on the boycott and with our democratic allies increase the pressure MAGA.

“Trump said it was up to others to decide what U.S.-military action in Venezuela means for Greenland. “They are going to have to view it themselves. I really don’t know. He was very generous to me, Marco, yesterday,” Trump said. “You know, I wasn’t referring to Greenland at that time. But we do need Greenland, absolutely. We need it for defense.”” Trump is attacking #NATO. No one should have any misconceptions that he will stop at Latin America. #Greenland #Canada #Denmark #Venezuela View quoted note →

Venezuela - The Lesson for Canada

Make no mistake, the attack on Venezuela by the Trump regime is not about removing a rogue leader; it is a deliberate attack on international law.

“At the hearing, Exum’s messages from a Signal chat with other agents were shown, in which he said, “I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.” He also sent a news article about the incident to a different recipient with the message, “Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes.””

“CMS, in preparation for implementing the Biden rule, determined that 17 skin substitute products have proven their effectiveness in scientifically valid studies.

This ⬇️ position is incorrect in law. You can talk about whether or how you’d like to change copyright law, but “training for AI” is not fair use under current law, it’s the unauthorized use of someone else’s property for your own purposes, i.e. theft. This ⬇️ “If training makes fair use of copyrighted works, however, then no permission is needed.” happens to ignore the corollary: “If using someone else’s property as raw materials without permission required, then copyright ceases to exist.” 1/2

#Germany designates AfD as an extremist party that goes against Germany’s “free democratic order.” “Vice President J.D. Vance and billionaire White House advisor Elon Musk supported the AfD and backed it in a recent election. Rubio took AfD’s side today, writing on social media that that new designation was “tyranny in disguise.” He attacked the current government and urged Germany to “reverse course.”” - Historian Heather Cox Richardson

Canada is a sitting duck with a treasure of natural resources between Putin and Putin’s stooge. The US already sided with Russia trying to gain access to our northern corridor, and Russian propagandists in the US already started with cries that the US needs to “denazify Canada”, and calling PM Trudeau a Nazi, fed by far right proponents and paid Russian shills in Canada too. Trump deciding to ignore borders is not a theoretical risk but a real one.
