So,Canada is in a position to cut of essential war machine minerals to a dependent US if it deems it appropriate to do so .
The U.S. military has, for the first time in generations, spent public money on minerals projects inside Canada: nearly $15 million US to mine and process copper, gold, graphite and cobalt in Quebec and the Northwest Territories.
I recently joined a gym. That's given me about an hour a day of Fox News exposure. As bad as I thought it was, it is far worse. The biggest news events coverage were about how illegal immigrants are behind the unprecedented crime waves afflicting all cities. Meanwhile crime is now back to pre-pandemic levels and even at its pandemic height was still at multi-decade lows. Also, Democrats are giving illegal immigrants free housing, food, phones, and laptops. Why? "Oh you know why..." Readers get to fill in the blanks with that sort of lede. Then we had the completely political hack attack on Trump even though he's never done anything wrong, a major scandal around Hunter Biden's congressional testimony and Fauci's assistant's testimony around something else. That's the big news. The right has a profitable multi-billion dollar industry, far beyond Fox News, to propagandize. There is no counter-balance. And don't say the supposedly liberal MSM. AT best they are led around by the nose by the right wing media and politicians. At worst they have similarly sympathetic coverage when it comes to things like properly addressing wealth inequality, monopolies/trusts, and holding rich powerful people to account. #rant#uspoli#msm#foxnews
Biden could have said, "We disagree with the ICC's actions but realize it is an independent body. We believe in the order of the United Nations and while we disagree in the most strenuous terms we have no choice but to accept it's actions."
But he failed to rise to the moment once again
I don't want him to lose. I don't think he should lose. He should do everything he can to NOT lose.
I sometimes feel that he's not with me on that one, nor are his advisers or comms team. #uspoli#gaza#ICC

Rudy’s latest #grift has hit the market - #RudyCoffee. Rudy says it’s “the best coffee you will ever try,” and buying it will help “support the cause of truth, justice, and #AmericanDemocracy.”
The main contradiction of liberal #democracy is that it has largely been shaped through a history of various forms of illegal civil disobedience against entrenched power structures.
Such civil disobedience is (retrospectively) seen as justified, and the people committing it are (retrospectively) seen as heroes. But, each successive generation is asked to believe that any further civil disobedience would be unreasonable.
Norway foreign minister accuses west of double standards on Gaza as clearly evidenced by inconsistent responses to violations of international law in Gaza and Ukraine.
When people say both parties are the same...call their bullshit. One party keeps removing these protections at state and local levels: the GOP. One party keeps making them happen again: The Democratic Party. If the repeal of Roe v. Wade and viciousness of how GOP is using it to go after women's health isn't a wake up call I don't know what will. Remember to get out and vote and vote remember that. #uspoli#Election2024news.yahoo.com/biden-administr…
The Supreme Court of the USA is seeing arguments that would allow a coup and end to democracy in that country. This is not an exaggeration.
Canada should also see at this, and respond in defence of democracy.
