"New" as in September of last year, not something done under Carney's leadership. Carney also just recently made a statement that Palestinians have an untouchable right to the territorial integrity of their land in the same way that Ukraine and Canada do.

My hopes are not very high for the Liberals to be as strong on opposing Israel's actions in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria as I would like, but with circumstances in our relationship with the US having changed dramatically, I think there is an opening for new leadership to go in a new direction. At least with the Liberals under Carney there is some hope. With Poilievre, there would be no hope at all.

What the surgeon did was obviously wrong, but a Nazi making homemade pipe bombs is still by far the bigger concern in this story.

Totally support that, and it's a great time for it as Canada's under threat and many Canadians are boycotting US media products.

Personally, since cutting off US media and switching to CBC, I've really enjoyed a lot of Canadian content and I've found myself more appreciative and interested in Canadian cultural products overall.

This may be the only use of FAFO I actually enjoy.

Not surprising in the least. The author's research methodology is a bit clunky, but you don't need an LLM to tell you that the content on r/Canada is extremely conservative and that a lot of it feels inorganic. It's self-evident.

It would be a good idea for the guy with no matches to get matches. If the guy with all the matches is much stronger than the guy without matches, the guy without matches would benefit from the threat of being able to take the other guy down with him.

Quite shameful. This is not what providing the public with quality news at a critical time looks like.

Have never had an interest in watching them before, but watched yesterday to support Canadian artists and am enjoying listening to a Juno playlist today.

Does he want to lose, or does he think his best bet at this point is continuing to lean into the Maple MAGA movement, holding that part of his base, and being the beneficiary of some foreign interference via US media/social media?

For me, a product with no clear country of origin goes back on the shelf. If I'm not sure where it's a product of and there's a possibility of it being American, I'm not buying.

That's just the paper I was thinking of.

I don't hate you. I don't hate Americans that feel afraid of where the country is going and who are opposed to it. If anything, I empathize. I also think international networks to oppose what's happening in America are important. That includes working with and supporting Americans who are actively working against the movement taking over the country.

That said, Americans bear direct responsibility for standing against this if they're not part of it. Being a passive commentator is not enough. It's time for those of you who stand against what's happening to actually get organized and form an active resistance. Be part of that, and you'll have my support. Don't resist, and you might as well be part of it.
