Important people know the backstory of this ad. @patrickgaspard gave me the idea to take her inexcusable gaffe and do something edgy with it that could get attention.
My content creator, @RyanSayles_ directed and edited it. He should be considered the breakout-star of this cycle. He’s going to be a giant in the media consultant game. He did GAME CHANGING work with SO little.

.@JamesTalarico on Texas officially banning THC:
“This bill is insane.
Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. Texans will still use THC — but instead of getting it safely from a local small business, they’ll go back to getting it from the black market. From the drug cartels.
This ban is a gift to the cartels.
We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst.
Instead of fully funding our schools, guaranteeing healthcare, or making childcare more affordable — this Legislature is focused on banning a product that gives people a little peace.
We’re making people’s lives harder, not easier.
I want to leave you with a quote: ‘It is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use.’ That wasn’t a Democrat. That was President Donald Trump.
To my Republican colleagues, I’m asking you to oppose the cartels, stand with President Trump, and vote no on this insane bill.”

Lula will be defending the Amazon, while Carney builds pipelines and cements Canada’s position as a global laggard on climate action.
Congratulations, President @LulaOficial, on your re-election in Brazil.
The relationship between Canada and Brazil has flourished under our partnership. Let’s seize this opportunity to make it even stronger, together — to create major new trade opportunities, protect the environment, and build greater prosperity for both our peoples.

It’s time for PM Carney to put his Davos comments into action.
Canada standing against Trump’s illegal fuel blockade of Cuba and helping send energy to Cuba is a perfect opportunity to do so.

This is completely unacceptable. Due to Ukraine's interference with Yandex, many of us politicians on the right have been left with no choice but to post our disinformation ourselves. #NoOutsideInterference

The Curaleaf-Aurora takeover fight keeps getting nastier. 🌿
Curaleaf wants regulators to halt Aurora’s share sales, saying they’ve added more than US$11M to the cost of its bid.
Aurora says the offer still undervalues the company.
We break it down:

Good. But it feels sensationalist to say Ukraine "hit Moscow" without pointing out this means legitimate military and refinery targets, not the apartment buildings, shops, and other civilians that Russia intentionally targets in its war of terror.
Ukraine has hit Moscow with what local authorities said was the largest ever drone attack on the Russian capital, setting a major oil refinery ablaze.

Nonsense.
Our airport operating model is non-profit, with revenues going into improving service. That’s why they are well-run, create good jobs and are respected globally.
Adding profit into the mix can only increase costs and incentivize cuts to service to maximize returns.
Steven MacKinnon: "There is very little or no correlation between the operating model of an airport, public, private, and so on, and those fees that are embedded in the cost of an airfare now, facilities improvement fees and other fees. There's no correlation between the operating model of an airport and its ownership model."

Ed Sheeran is absolutely right. There ARE two sides to every conflict.
For example, in Gaza there is the side that blows up schools, hospitals, and tents - and the side that gets blown up in schools, hospitals, and tents.
It's literally impossible to tell which side is worse.

BC has a new time zone abbreviation: PCT.
PCT stands for Pacific Time, BC’s single year-round time zone. It replaces PST and PDT, providing a consistent way to refer to BC’s time zone in schedules, systems and communications.
No falling back this November.

Netanyahu escalates threats against ‘NAZA’ filmmakers with proposed citizenship law
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement that his government will seek legislation to revoke the citizenship of Israelis who “defame” Israeli soldiers abroad, explicitly citing the documentary “NAZA” and its filmmakers, investigative journalist Yuval Abraham and filmmaker Rachel Szor, is a dangerous escalation in official efforts to intimidate and punish journalists.
