Top story at the CBC:
“Canadian university teachers warned against travelling to the United States”

"The association says academics who are from countries that have tense diplomatic relations with the United States, or who have themselves expressed negative views about the Trump administration, should be particularly cautious about attempting to cross the border."

CBCCanadian university teachers warned against travelling to the United States | CBC NewsThe Canadian Association of University Teachers says it released updated travel advice today due to the "political landscape" created by the Trump administration and reports of some Canadians encountering difficulties while crossing the border.

Canada’s RW is trying convince Canadians that even though they have one the highest standards of living in the world, the way to make it even better is to stop doing all the things that made it possible.

The only way such logic works is through hate and fear. I didn’t think it could happen here. Be careful up there. #CanPoli

#PP is trying to be so #Canadian with his #Lays chip replay of "Bet you can't eat just one."

He won't stop at just one use of the notwithstanding clause.

I can't think of any use of the notwithstanding clause that was for the collective good - it is always about punishing some group or for a political advantage.

CBCPoilievre says he'd pass a law that overrides a Charter right. That would be a first for a PM | CBC NewsConservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced a politically groundbreaking promise to become the first prime minister to invoke the notwithstanding clause.

Great announcement from Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew. 500MW of contracted power to the USA ends this month so is signing orders (with “favourite pen” 😹) redirecting 50MW to a project to help Nunavut electrify and remaining 450MW ready’n waiting for “trade corridors” in Canada

Bonus: mocking/hamming it up for the media.🤣
Love this guy

Worth watching for both Canadians and Americans.
From Start to 5min when QA starts.

Canadian Conservatives:

"I am unable to create policies people agree are helpful so why bother governing in a democratic manner when all I need to do is abuse the notwithstanding clause. Provinces got away with it and no one rioted in the streets, they voted for us again, so let's go national 🎉 🥳 !! "

Canada we are as weak as Americans if we continue to allow this...

So rare just years, just months ago, now high coal India has abandoned coal for New Energy, solar, wind and batteries.

The now pinnacle solar install of photovoltaic covering of canals to both save water and generate power had its start in India.

Go India, go solar, go wind, go New Energy.

India is installing so much it has displaced Germany as the World's third fastest installer nation.

A huge leap forward for humankind.
