The Conservative Leader, who was a loser in his own riding, is a champion for Canadian Rights and Freedoms. #PeePee may sound like pins in your eyeballs, but he's adept at picking out issues that can be exploited, creating slogans and attaching Liberal blame. Does he care if the border guards seize your phone to look at your social media posts? He could care less. But because it is an element of overreach in the proposed border bill, he will fight to the death for you. Unless you're an immigrant because he likely wants you to be removed from the country.
See also his "Jail not Bail" campaign for his method of outrage and attack.

Privacy commissioners find TikTok collected sensitive data from Canadian children | CBC News
TikTok's tools to keep children off its platform were largely ineffective and the immensely popular social media app was collecting sensitive information from underage users, a joint investigation from Canadian privacy authorities found.

1/2 In a piece about Canadian politics, probably not of interest to outsiders, I suspect this will amuse many:
“Trump’s [team] are every bit the … “Bad Boy” Detroit Pistons of the late 80s … Trump is peak Bill Laimbeer, sneering and fouling everything in sight. JD Vance is Dennis Rodman, an Energizer bunny clearing the boards. And Stephen Miller is Isaiah Thomas, the floor general weaving through defences and chirping at his opponents with an insouciant mug begging to be slapped.”

Why do people hate?

Why do people hate? | CBC Radio
Even in the name of love, we can justify hatred, even murder, of the other. But why do we hate others? Scholars from the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) have identified a list of 10 reasons why one group may hate another group. They also have suggestions on how to break the cycle of hate.

At this point, I’m in the camp of: We should stop wasting our time on this clearly-bad-faith “deal negotiation”.
We had a deal. The liar is going to lie. He’s going to chicken out of every deal. The dead USMCA deal we had was *his* deal. It’s negotiating with a child.
Yes, it’s going to hurt Canadians and Canadian business, but it’s going to hurt anyway. Time to focus on dealing with buyers who aren’t throwing yet another tantrum every week or two. A different future.

U.S. and Canada might not reach trade deal, Trump says | CBC News
U.S. President Donald Trump says his country may not reach a new trade deal with Canada and could simply impose more or higher tariffs on its northern neighbour — something he's threatening to do in one week's time.

Interesting and fulsome interview on exactly how NORAD reacted to the plane hijacking in Victoria/Vancouver on Tuesday. They speak to the commander of NORAD, currently a Canadian.
I appreciated the last section most though:
“It's the only bi-national command in the world; it's been a strong bi-national command since 1958, and nothing has changed.
We don't ever talk politics at work. It's not something that we do, nor does it affect what we do.
I would say that we are as tight, and probably tighter than we've ever been. As the world around us gets to be more dangerous, I would say that NORAD is even closer than it's ever been.
But one last thing — we have the watch. That's the slogan here for NORAD.
To give you a great example, all of the assessors, we all live on-base in homes that actually have a safe, we call it the SCIF. It's basically a classified room that has all of our systems. The days that you're on duty, you're either at work or in your house. Because the timelines are so small for answering the phone, you don't walk the dog; you don't do all these other things, and someone covers for you when you're going between work and home.
That's how important this mission is to us down here. It's really important for everybody in Canada to know that at NORAD, we have the watch”

Ya, Canadian political news was much quieter. Was nice. https://mastodon.online/@dcdeejay/115074007808339650
