I'm Canadian. I like science. I'm an RN. Covid is real. I'm part of the Jones Generation. I'm an introvert. I'm cynical. Not interested in conspiracy theories. I loooathe clowns! I'd call myself Agnostic with a Spinoza twist. I'm a no-nonsense type of person. I'm sarcastic. I love laughing - SO much. I'm a news junkie. Interested in politics. Go Leafs! Go Jayz! I love all music - except country. Be kind. People need to be who they wanna be! I'm NOT a conservative. This is me in a nutshell

🧵 #US and #Denmark reach security deal after Trump’s threats to take over #Greenland Statements from Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, and the leader of Greenland’s government, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, posted online late on Friday, emphasized that the agreement would fall far short of Trump’s previously stated desire for “the acquisition of Greenland by the United States”. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/18/united-states-denmark-greenland-security

The treaties Canada and Indigenous people signed aren’t Alberta’s to disrupt.

After all, commerce with the US existed before we embraced free trade, and it will continue afterward. Whatever doomsayers may warn, we are not faced with the binary choice of either a renewed CUSMA or zero trade with the US. We have stuff they need (whatever Trump says), and our market is an attractive one for American businesses. None of this is going to change.

@alfredo@indieweb.social plus because - control . It's where it all starts. They want to get rid of teaching critical thinking skills - just like they did in America.
