Have you heard of the Montreal Melon? This temperamental melon was grown in gardens in Montreal and sold in high-end hotels. Urban sprawl led to its disappearance for decades until a few seeds were discovered in 1996 to begin a resurgence. This is the story. ๐Ÿงต 1/9

Powerful & important piece by @lloydaxworthy about Carneyโ€™s dangerous reorientation of Cdn foreign policy towards preparing for war, not preventing war. #cdnpoli thestar.com/opinion/contribuโ€ฆ
Lloyd Axworthy: Mark Carney has flipped the plan on how to protect Canada and here is why Iโ€™m...

Lloyd Axworthy: Mark Carney has flipped the plan on how to protect Canada and here is why Iโ€™m...

The premise has flipped from โ€œCanada is made secure by strengthening the international orderโ€ to โ€œthe order has ruptured, so Canada must build its own strength.โ€

Ontarians showed up to Queen's Park on Saturday with a clear message for Doug Ford: Start putting people over profits. The Ontario Greens will keep fighting for a wealth tax to raise $26 billion and build an Ontario that works for everyone, not just the super rich.

Donald, you did NOT get Greenland. Stop misleading the American people. Let me remind you of the agreement YOU signed on September 22, 2026. The Preamble explicitly states: โ€œReaffirming the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark, and recognizing that the People of Greenland constitute a people pursuant to international law with the right to self-determination.โ€ Article XI also explicitly acknowledges Greenlandโ€™s right to exercise self-determination and become independent. You signed it, Donald. Did you even read it? The United States has defence rights under the agreement, NOT ownership of Greenland. Greenland belongs to the Greenlandic people. Not to you. Period. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฑ
