“Yale professors, #TimothySnyder, a historian of totalitarianism and the author of #OnTyranny, and Jason Stanley, a philosopher and the author of How #Fascism Works, move to #Canada” (to positions at the University of Toronto).

A version of this @ #globeandmail
“What’s the probability of this kind of scenario? Ten per cent, 5 per cent, or 1 per cent? No one can say for sure. But it’s certainly not zero. And given the existential cost to Canada, we’d be stupid not to take it seriously. In game-theory terms, we need to pursue a strategy of “minimax regret” – to minimize, as best we can, the possibility of worst-case outcomes.”

on the broadcast I was listening to, this news was quickly followed up with Poillievre talking about creating jobs for working people and how he was going for the union vote.
Both of these parties are corporate apologists.
Yet Ontario, the land of the manufacturer, refuses to vote for the left leaning, worker party in the NDP.
Fascism defined - Tommy Douglas
"Let me remind you what fascism is. It need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt - it may even wear a dress shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege."

i'm challenging myself to make a teapot every day.
Here's day #7
Teapots are a symbol of friendship and hospitality, so I made this Red Maple Leaf teapot for my friend, who lives in Ontario, Canada.
This is unfired porcelain. decorated and ready for the kiln!

#Canada should immediately cancel all 88 of our F-35 fighter plane orders, as they should be considered compromised computers-on-wings that can be disabled as soon as our friends decide to invade us.
We should join the EU, buy a couple of Typhoons and get involved in co-developing the FCAS NGF for starters.
Then, stealth noodles.

So this is a good time for #Governments in #Canada to start putting some distance between big, proprietary, American companies like Microsoft, IBM and Adobe, and start seriously shifting #GovTech to support #SmallBusiness & #OpenSource
We can now follow the example of many European countries!
#Trump outlined a vision of American #expansionism: building up our naval capacity, reclaiming the #PanamaCanal, & pledging to “get” #Greenland, “one way or another.”
He didn’t mention his aim to make #Canada the 51st state. But that may be because he doesn’t want to get into the horribly idiotic & disastrous #tariffs he placed on Canada & #Mexico today.

While our southern neighbors' late-stage capitalism autocrats are busy speedrunning the sabotage of their country and trying to bully my country as collateral, up here we're having a “F' it, enough debates, let's launch our own high-speed inter-city rail infrastructure project to serve 40% of the population and boost the local economy” moment 🤷
Let's hope it doesn't get cancelled after elections in Q4 🤞

This is wild. In the updated Mac User Guide when you click on "learn more" in the Apple Intelligence area of the Settings it says:
"Turn Apple Intelligence on: With macOS 15.3 or later, Apple Intelligence is on by default and integrated across features in your apps. "
then a few lines later…
"Note: Apple Intelligence is currently in beta. Apple Intelligence uses generative models, and outputs may be inaccurate, unexpected, or offensive. Check important information for accuracy."

I would also like to say to Apple. You've had Siri for how many years? You've added many variations to your English speakers. But no Canadian variations.
Perhaps it's just the moment we're in, but I'd like to see a Canadian Western, Canadian Eastern, Canadian Maritime, and Newfoundland Option for Siri.
Thank you very much.

So let me get this straight - Chump thinks ALL OF #CANADA should become ONE STATE? The fifty-first state?? Do I have that right?
Wow, Canadians - you could give up your ENTIRE GOVERNMENT, your sovereignty, every shred of your dignity, and trade it all for TWO SENATORS and what would surely be 60 ultra-gerrymandered house seats. What a deal! Who wouldn’t want that?
Hit us as hard as you can with boycotts and trade embargos. Lock the fucking gates to this stupid ass country. #TheDumbestTimeline
Canada reports that the US has broken their trade treaty while Quislings in the UK would sell their daughters (but ideally someone else's, someone Poor) for a trade deal with Trump
Any deal with Trump is worthless, I cannot believe serious people are still under the delusion this is all just a glitch.
Fools.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Saturday that Canada will respond to Donald Trump's tariffs with 25 per cent tariffs on $155 billion of U.S. goods.»»» ...YouTube
Canadians are anxious, yes. But we are also angry - angry that the U.S. sees us as disposable, despite the deep economic ties that we have upheld in good faith.
We should NOT take this lying down. We stand together. We buy Canadian. We diversify our trade. And we refuse to support a country that threatens us for no reason other than a madman's political theatre.
#Canada stands strong. #ChooseCanada
Just so we are all clear, these tariffs are not about improving border security or trade deficits.
The "negotiation" question we will get in weeks ahead will be, "so are you ready to become an American state now? The pain will stop if you do what I want".
There is no negotiating with fascists. As long as the US has a christofascist white nationalist dictator at the helm, Canada will have find a way to persevere without US Trade. #Canada

I wonder what kinds of tarrifs are being considered for US computer services, like ad publishing, cloud hosting, LLM, labour like consulting and support...
US tech giants take in billions and billions for these services each year. Often without a Canadian subsidiary. Often while stealing copyrighted material produced in Canada. Meta in particular has been uncooperative.
Tariff & tax these foreign services. Encourage Canadians to replace them.
