No, I don’t expect that Canada will join the EU, but the more we can standardize and cooperate, the better.

Fully ratify CETA, help Ukraine, university exchanges, accept Euro standard cars and elevators, maybe more labour mobility, reduce our reliance on American tech, etc.

It’s amazing (extremely negative) how U.S. diplomacy is focused on getting the aggressor a win, trying to find some way to secure gains for Russia that the Russian military has failed — for over 4.5 years and counting! — to achieve on the battlefield.

What an awful, consequential, damaging change.
Kushner on Ukraine:

“President Putin's laid out his line of what he wants to achieve. If Ukraine, you know, wanted to withdraw to that line, then obviously, you know, we have the rest of the deal set up and put together. Ukraine right now does not want to do that.”

Als gelernter Ethnologe finde ich es ja immer spannend, zu beobachten, wie unsere eigene Gesellschaft aus Sicht anderer Gesellschaften aussieht.

Hab mich jetzt ein wenig (wenn auch sehr oberflächlich) mit dem Blick von Außen auf westliche Demokratien beschäftigt.

Paris is a city that's been WINNING the WAR ON WALKING. In the past decade city leaders built 300+ School Streets, launched a 15-minute city and reclaimed their downtown waterfront.

It's a place people can enjoy an evening outside on what used to be a car freeway.

This is what every city deserves.

Dieser feige Kulturwandel in den Medien, Faschismus nicht zu benennen, sondern als normale Form von Politik darzustellen, könnte halt auch damit zu tun haben, dass Medien finanziell ausgehungert werden, von reichen Geldgebern abhängig sind und viele JournalistInnen prekäre Jobs haben.

Voter suppression IS election stealing, and it comes in MANY forms. You don’t need a tech billionaire hacking voting machines to steal an election. THIS is election stealing.
Texans check your voter registration, especially those in Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties.

From the article:
Suspended voter registrations span the whole state, but these Blue/Blue leaning counties are targets:
Dallas: +129,000
Collin: 56,000
Denton: 56,000
Tarrant: + 73,000
Texas Has Suspended More Than 1 Million Voters Ahead of Senate Race
If you’re one of the people who had their voter registration suspended, there’s still time to fix it.

For comparison: Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2025 were 649 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents. The below is a massive figure. Individual climate actions are no substitute for policy change, but they do scale.
“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes.

This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com
Cycling like the Dutch would slash the world’s carbon footprint
If everybody cycled like the Dutch, we could offset the UK or Australia’s entire carbon footprint.

“Carney’s official statement deserves to be read in full, slowly, with a beer, because underneath the diplomatic wallpaper it’s the most quietly savage document a G7 leader’s put out in years.
