Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

CARNEY: "Our goal is not just to do reasonably well, but to grow stronger than the rest of the G7. And as we work to do so, I want to make this promise to Canadians. I will always be straight about the challenges that we face and the choices that we must make."

CARNEY: "Our goal for Canada is to double our non-U.S. exports over the course of the next decade, generating more than $300 billion more in trade, and that's new orders for Canadian resources, technologies and expertise."

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing. And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power. When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

Okay, I am still appalled but do hope this moniker takes off.

We're calling him Diarrhea Don. He's owning the libs so hard with this, it's brilliant. Everyone talking about the president's uncontrollable bowels, how manly and cool his uncontrollably explosive shits are.

Complete. Morons. 👇 add the lunatic dumping shit on his constituents and you have a royal flush (pardon the pun)

When this story broke earlier today Republicans claimed it was probably fake news since it was reported by the NYT. Now multiple media outlets have confirmed it, including Fox. Hegseth and Vance are complete morons for pulling this dumb stunt.

Who could have imagined that firing live artillery rounds over the planet's second busiest roadway might be a bad idea

NYT - A 155-millimeter shell fired during a live-fire demonstration at Camp Pendleton prematurely detonated, dropping fragments of the shell on a CHP vehicle and motorcycle that were part of Vice President Vance's protective detail. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/us...

It’s super alpha to get all angry about protests and post AI videos of yourself dropping feces on America because you can’t handle your emotions, oh and wearing an oxygen mask like a douche helmet because you’re a fatso

Zelenskyy on Putin: I don't understand why the leader of the country which has the biggest territory in the world, needs some more kilometers. This war is not about the land. It is about our sovereignty, our independence.

After Republicans predicted violence all week from Antifa domestic terrorists this weekend, it turns out the most dangerous place to be on Saturday was the location that JD Vance was filming his TikTok.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Authoritarianism doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires enablers. When a leader posts fantasies of monarchical rule, and his entire party looks the other way, they become complicit. The issue isn't just Trump's posts; it's the institutional decay of a party that refuses to be a check on his power.

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it. But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

The president has one core job under the Constitution: to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Not thwarted, diverted, blunted, revised or ignored. Faithfully executed.

This war could’ve ended if Trump had done the right thing. Just a few simple policy shifts. But no. Noooo. That’s too hard. Instead, we’re flinging war maps across the room and screaming. What did Ukrainians ever do to deserve putin and Trump at the same time?

Kate from Kharkiv@kateinkharkiv.bsky.social

Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Russia’s terms for ending its war in a volatile White House meeting on Friday, warning that Putin had said he would “destroy” Ukraine if it did not agree. - FT Which circle of this are we in? 🤦‍♀️

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.” The cuts: 📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage) 📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage) 📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage) 📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)
