🇨🇦 A Nova Scotia meadery had an $11,300 order for a New Brunswick fair. Provincial liquor rules pushed it to roughly $25,000, forcing the fair to slash the purchase.
If Canada wants less dependence on the U.S., maybe making it easier for Canadians to trade with Canadians is a good place to start.

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes

The news media call Zohran Mamdani a "democratic socialist." That's not his party affiliation – that's his ideology. So why don't the media focus on the ideology of MAGA Republicans and call them "fascists"?

JD Vance said DOGEbro Marko Elez shouldn't have his life "ruin[ed]" b/c of racist tweets.
But "Elez's life had not been 'ruined,'" as @jvl.bsky.social notes. He just lost a govt job he'd briefly had.
And if losing a govt job is a life-ruining event, just think how many lives DOGE/Musk have ruined.

A bunch of Democratic politicians and influential “moderate” commentators is hyperfocused on demanding the Democratic Party “move right” on trans rights just as the state is ramping up the persecution of this small, extremely vulnerable group of people.
It is vile, disgusting, disqualifying.

Novabus.
I grouped these two together because they are both owned by the Volvo Group.
Volvo closed the USA factory and moved all manufacturing to Canada.

I heard on CBC that all leaders answered questions from reporters after both debates except Doug Ford. He knows there will be hard questions about his record over the last 7 years as well as his recent comments about supporting Trump & "sparky". No accountability with this guy.
