The National Post is notably owned 98 percent by US hedge funds, as are most of the rest of Canada's newspapers,

That said, there are still Canadian owned papers, such as the Winnipeg Free Press.

In addition to being the province's largest daily paper, it also offers digital subscriptions, for anyone looking for written news that isn't foreign owned, or is interested in supporting an actual Canadian media source.

Demonizing Russia needs to end.

Not until they get their military the hell out of Ukraine and start acting like reasonable members of international society.

no one (e.g. musk) should ever have this much money - and therefore this much unfettered power.

Well, yes. It's pretty obvious how bad that is for society.

But the problem is that he does have that much money. And that much power that is derived from it.

So what practical things can we do about it?

Meathead Ron and his dumbass policies

Yeah, I'm sure that's also a contributing factor.

But Agent Orange and his speed run of Project2025's agenda was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Republicans are already proposing removing the term limit on presidents, while somehow claiming that won't allow Obama to run again.

They're only going to show that in the US.

Thw rest of the world will still see the original and internationally agreed on name.

If it was an internal waterway, the Americans could rename it whatever they want and everyone else would happily go along with it.

But, since the Gulf of Mexico is partially international waters, and since it has shores on multiple other countries, the US doesn't get to unilaterally decide what everyone else calls it.

Yes, but it costs more (in Canadian dollars) to go there and actually use that second home.

I expect the chaos that Trump is creating, and his threats against Canada also play a significant part in their decision.

How many reasons do they have to give you before you walk away from facebook?

I don't think Finkelstein's quote takes into account a severe narcissist.

In the narcissistic mind, the only right is something that benefits them, and the only wrong is something that harms them.

A growing number of Canadians are already calling for exactly that

It certainty make it easier.

Trump wouldn't recognize hypocrisy if it walked up and kicked him in the balls.

Can the tribal leaders round up The Mayflower Society and deport them?

Having a switch next to the door would be useful if you're using that socket for a lamp

That is specifically what switched outlets in north America are intended to be used for.

All of them in the UK.

A lot of Canadians have to wait exorbitant amounts of time to see a doctor

As always, you hear more about the failures than the successes where everything works the way it is expected to.

Nobody would think of writing a headline saying "everything worked normally today".

and the cost of few thousand dollars was not that great to them.

How wonderful for them....

Trump is purposefully threatening Canada to give his canadian conservative buddy Poilievre something to "fight" against, to make him look good

Except Polierve has been the slowest and the quietest to speak out against this bullshit that Trump is trying to pull.

Been a while since Canadians burnt down the white house

This time we should block the doors first.
