Multiple #media outlets are reporting that #Canada is paying for billboards and signs across the United States that bluntly inform Americans that "tariffs are a #tax" on items ranging from gasoline to groceries.

Virtue or Vice? A First Look at Paragon's Proliferating Spyware Operations
The report investigates Paragon Solutions, an Israeli spyware company founded in 2019 that sells a product called Graphite. Through infrastructure analysis, the researchers identified potential Paragon deployments in several countries. They also found evidence linking Paragon to the Canadian Ontario Provincial Police. Working with WhatsApp, they discovered and mitigated a Paragon zero-click exploit targeting civil society members. Forensic analysis of Android devices in Italy confirmed Paragon infections. The report also examines a potentially related iPhone spyware case. It highlights Paragon's targeting of individuals involved in migrant rescue operations in the Mediterranean, raising questions about the company's claims of only selling to customers respecting human rights. The findings challenge Paragon's marketing approach and demonstrate the ongoing risks of mercenary spyware abuse, even in democracies.

Trump family fortune began in a Canadian brothel-hotel
In one of history’s little-known ironies, the Maple Leaf country pushing back against Donald Trump’s annexation bid is also host to a tiny, remote restaurant and brothel that helped launch the U.S. president’s family fortune more than 100 years ago.The Canadian Press (CTVNews)

Ontario Premier Doug Ford Wisely Rips Up Contract With Starlink He Never Should Have Signed In The First Place
Thu, Mar 6th 2025 05:18am - Karl Bode
...Ontario Premier Doug Ford has finally shredded his Province’s $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite broadband service. Like many politicians... Ford was apparently tricked into thinking that the expensive, capacity-constrained broadband service was a sort of magic bullet for rural broadband access.
But with King Trump’s mindless and destructive tariffs on Canadian goods wreaking havoc, Ford appears to have come to his senses and finally scrapped the deal:
[Block quote]
“This is not the outcome anyone wanted,” Ford said at Queen’s Park in Toronto. “We could have poured our efforts into making Canada and the U.S. the two richest, most successful, safest, most secure two countries on the planet. Unfortunately, one man — President Trump — has chosen chaos instead.”
[End block quote]
Trump, of course, has no idea how anything actually works. He implemented his tariffs because it’s the kind of ignorant mafia-style bullying he’s used to from his years in NYC real estate fraud. Use whatever leverage you can find to threaten immense harm to your exploitation target, then giggle as they sheepishly approach you, hat in hand... (see: U.S. media companies)...
Canadians, quite correctly, have instead responded by telling King Dingus to go fuck himself.](https://friendica-leipzig.de/photo/preview/600/751325 "Headline and text from article(edited for length):

Auzina: Don't just buy #Canadian. Visit your local repair café too
Opinion by Aija Auzina, February 19, 2025
"We are living in unpredictable and shifting times. If we want to support Canadian businesses and not buy American, don’t buy the culture of complacency, greed and waste either. Change must be embraced with courage and responsibility.
"#Environmentalists are optimistically realistic. Members of the #Ottawa South Eco Action Network , #OSEAN, embrace doing what we can with what we have and finding friends to do it with. So if we can reduce waste by hosting a repair café, or teach people to mend the rips in their clothing, or help people plant a native pollinator patch in their garden, we will act on it. And finding friends in community, government and businesses helps us stand up to the wind that is no longer at our back, but in our face. Strength is in numbers.
"#ClimateChange is a part of the chain of the choices we make. Let that bracing wind in our face help us find the courage to do better. Come to the #RepairCafe or a #MendingCircle. Fix your personal items as a responsible owner does. It takes effort, work and a bit of courage. We can do this. We can do really hard things too.
"Another word for courage is political will. We need more of it. With provincial and federal elections looming, now is the time to know your own values and live by them.
"Ownership is a responsibility that the Feb. 22 Repair Café and the specialists from the #OttawaToolLibrary (#OTL) can help you with. Sign up on-site to have a 30-minute slot at one of the repair tables that will be set up in the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre’s Ellwood Hall. Enjoy a mug of coffee or tea while you wait, in the pop up café.
"OSEAN, a group of volunteers, is helping organize the event with Alta Vista Coun. Marty Carr, and the good people of the tool library have the starring role. Come meet these influencers.
"How do we influence change? Be the example for others to follow. And where are we going? Toward a deep responsibility to our #nvironment. One step can be at the repair café, for instance with that toaster that stopped working.
"But we can’t stop working! Individual people and systems need to pivot toward responsible ownership, responsible living.The gale force wind gusts that rattle your windows and house over the last years show we have been negligent toward that responsibility. The fires in Los Angeles are also burning with that same message.
"We have not been living up to our responsibilities. Individuals, governments, industry, businesses big and small, still have not clocked the fact that we have our backs against the wall. We believe someone else will clean up after us. But mom will not come to your rescue. #MotherEarth is depleted and we did this to her. "

Alex Tyrrell, party leader of the Green Party of Quebec, who accompanied #Engler to the police station on Thursday, spoke to the Middle East Eye about Engler’s arrest.
“I think it’s a shocking attack on free expression and democratic rights and criticism of Israel in Canada - a country that’s supposed to be a free, democratic society. We’re supposed to speak out about a genocide," Tyrrel told MEE.

UK, USA, Canada: How the consumer basket changed during World War II
So what we see here - from '1938 to '1944. In the first place, for someone is war, and for someone is holiday - in the U.S.A. - Canada +16% increased consumption of everything.

What positions have fallen on the small island, which although not as much as the continent, but still got it:
public transportation +13% and mail +8% is understandable, as is alcohol and tobacco +8%,
but entertainment +10%, books +1% … In Canada it seemed like they were having fun with amusements +53%. That was a lot of fun.

As Canada and the U.S. enter a trade war after spending decades as friends, neighbours and allies … I want to tell a story about Canadians helping our neighbours to the South.
Years ago I was asked to go to a Canadian college to see a workshop for a musical about 9/11.
I scoffed. A musical about what? How will that work?
I drove out to the campus during a brutal winter snowstorm. I remember cursing that I was having to deal with a late night white knuckle drive for a musical that made absolutely no sense. Who would want to listen to people sing about that unspeakable tragedy?
I should have had more faith. The writers - an incredible Canadian duo called David Hein & Irene Sankoff - made magic at Sheridan College. Their musical wasn’t really about 9/11, it was about the community of Gander, Newfoundland that welcomed stranded planes on that dark day
It was about the Canadian spirit of opening our hearts and homes to those in need… no matter where they come from, what colour, religion, gender or nationality they are. It was about overcoming odds and helping strangers for no other reason than it was the right thing to do
38 planes carrying 6,579 passengers were diverted to Gander on 9/11. To put things in perspective, Gander is a tiny community of less than 10,000 people. They literally doubled in size overnight.
They could have left the people on the planes. They could have refused them and said it was America’s problem. They could have deflected and blamed as is so popular with the current leader of the U.S. They chose to open their arms and welcome everyone.
The community got together and found ways to feed, clothe and house every passenger and animal that were on those planes They put people up in schools and gymnasiums, guest rooms in their homes and more They turned the hockey rink into a giant walk in fridge for all the food
They rounded up bbqs from everyone’s backyard to have big cookouts for all the new guests. Provided every denomination with a place to pray. Made sure that kids had diapers, toys and a feeling of safety. Comforted animals who weren’t allowed off the planes. They stepped up.
For four days, no one from Gander slept or took a break. They were constantly on the go to ensure that every one of their new arrivals felt safe, protected and welcomed. That’s what the musical was about. The camaraderie and love shown during that unprecedented time
Its name? Come from Away.
It would go on to be a Tony Award winning Broadway musical with successful productions all over the Globe. Its message of kindness, inclusion and hope inspired people to be more welcoming of those who are different than them
It was one of the greatest honours of my life to be one of the first journalists to write about that extraordinary musical. To be able to meet many of the people from Gander and from the planes who allowed their stories to be told.
I’ve always loved being a Canadian, but sitting in that small theatre on a snowy winters night … I was overwhelmed with pride & hope for our future The people of Gander showed us what it truly means to be a neighbour, and we need to hold onto that spirit in these dark times
I don’t know what comes next, but I know Canadians will rise to the challenge. We will continue to extend a hand in friendship to our American neighbours. We know most of you don’t want this either. We will stand proud and remain true to our values always. We will overcome
If you want to watch it, the Broadway production was filmed for streaming on AppleTV and it’s beautifully done. “Tonight we honour what was lost, but we also commemorate what we found.”

I don’t know what comes next, but I know Canadians will rise to the challenge. We will continue to extend a hand in friendship to our American neighbours. We know most of you don’t want this either. We will stand proud and remain true to our values always. We will overcome
If you want to watch it, the Broadway production was filmed for streaming on AppleTV and it’s beautifully done. “Tonight we honour what was lost, but we also commemorate what we found.”

According to a new report by the #Israeli newspaper #Haaretz, the number of Israelis #relocating to #Canada has increased considerably during the Israeli aggression on both #Gaza and #Lebanon.
Almost 10,000 #settlers moved from Israeli #OccupiedTerritories to Canada this year, as per the report. The newspaper reported that 7,850 Israelis filed for and were given work visas in Canada in 2024, representing a fivefold increase compared to the previous year.
For context, 1,585 Israelis were granted #WorkVisas in Canada in 2023.
The report revealed that the key reasons for the #migration were "Israel's" precarious #political and security position, heightened conflict, perceived #socioeconomic inequities, and the Israeli occupation's unwillingness to address crucial concerns.
According to the most recent data from the #Canadian Ministry of #Immigration, 3,425 temporary work visas and 4,424 regular work licenses were awarded to Israelis between December 2023 and September 2024.

I've told 6 different #Canadian cop detachments that the reason almost all citizens hate them is due to their ongoing #SystematicRacism, zero protection for whistle-blowers, giving raises to worst of the worst police brass, not challenging their corrupt union leaders & "just following orders" like fucking Hitler SS.
Don't defend fucking institutionalized cowards - with badges/guns - over defending innocent citizens killed/maimed by those same fucking cops/corporate mercenaries you tried to defend.
For those who care about 'good cops' - why the fuck are you not fighting, tooth n nail, for genuine public accountability & protections for the very few brave enough to be #police #WhistleBlowers?!?!?
Why aren't more BC/Canadian citizens angry as heck over the fact our governments gave BILLIONS to RCMP/RCMP CIRG to break the law & assault activists & protect industry over humanity? Because of fucking corporate lobbyists powers. MONEY & POWER - #Colonizers bent on capitalism - never really change their selfish & inhumane priorities/policies unless forced to.
