A new statue titled “The Orange Plague”, also known as “King of Injustice”, by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, where it will remain through 8 October. Remember to stop by for a selfie if you have a chance. 😏📸
![This sculpture is a satirical piece titled "[The Orange Plague] created by Danish artist Jens Galschiøt.
The Imagery: The 2.6-meter-tall, gold-plated bronze sculpture depicts a naked, oversized Donald Trump riding on the back of a smaller man. He is holding a golf club in one hand and a pair of scales in the other.
The Meaning: According to Galschiøt, the piece is a satirical commentary on modern political power, climate policy, and the subversion of the rules-based international order.
Recent Exhibition: In October 2026, the statue drew global headlines when it went on public display inside the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France, organized by Danish MEP Per Clausen.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mxc7liuon6iq5gzapmmwkq22/bafkreig4jl7cx3l6wlver4z7e3cgkuxuaf4hjxrucecft2nrk2e3ot57nu)

Canada is building its ports again.
That means more opportunities to sell what Canadians grow, produce, and manufacture to customers around the world.

Canada’s August goods surplus jumped to C$4.2B. Exports to the U.S. rose 8.1% as firms shipped ahead of new tariffs; non-U.S. exports fell 8.5%. September will show more of the tariff impact.

Nothing to see here...just the President of the United States inviting the country he illegally declared war on to "take out" 2 major American cities. If that's not treason, what is? 🤬 Law enforcement won't hold him accountable, but we WILL! The beginning of the end is on November 3rd. #VOTE-BLUE 🌊

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica.
70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction.
Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power.
We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

I asked the Foreign Interference office to investigate allegations of slush money being discussed between the White House and Alberta separatists.
The commissioner has the power under Section 2 of the Act.
I was told to buzz off.

Foreign interference in Alberta's referendum is a serious matter impacting our sovereignty and should be debated in Canada's House of Commons. Why then is the Liberal Speaker not interested in this debate?
