I have a bunch of domains on NameCheap but would like to move them to a non American company, preferably Canadian but just not American is good enough honestly.

What are you guys using?

A top White House official has threatened to redraw the Canadian border amid Donald Trump’s ambition to turn the country in America’s “51st state”.

Peter Navarro, one of Donald Trump’s closest advisers, is pushing US negotiators to discuss reworking the border with their Canadian counterparts, The Telegraph can reveal.

“Navarro recommended revising the Canada-US border, which is just crazy and dangerous,” a source close to negotiations told The Telegraph.

A city councillor is pushing the City of Ottawa to suspend all of its accounts on the social media platform X, which she calls "very negative," rife with misinformation and tied to the threat of punishing tariffs against Canada.

Orléans West-Innes Coun. Laura Dudas has given notice of a motion she will make to council's finance and corporate services committee next week. It asks city staff to draw up a plan to suspend the accounts and migrate to other platforms.

In her motion, she said X and owner Elon Musk no longer uphold the values of "transparency, impartiality, respect and accountability," which Dudas views as core principles for the city.

I remember reading an article, I think on a substack site, about how the author expected (I think) the rise of facism in the US but not being lead by such pathetic losers?/nerds?/geeks?. I can't seem to find the article but it was funny and relatable and I really want to find the link again.

It might have also been an article on The Verge, 404media or maybe Vice too

I'm a Canadian working for an American company and I'm wondering how affected I'm going to be if (when) Trump goes all in on his tarrifs. My company does have a Canadian office and I believe is incorporated here as well as the USA (I'm a software dev, not a business major so idk how it works fully). Would I feel any of the effects of tarrifs, minus the cost of everything skyrocketing?

For reference, I'm remote and the office we have is on the other side of the country in Vancouver. Not sure that really adds anything to the question but felt compelled to add it

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will bring forward a motion of non-confidence to bring down the Trudeau government in the next sitting of the House of Commons.

"The Liberals don't deserve another chance," Singh wrote in a letter on Friday. "That's why the NDP will vote to bring this government down."

Social credit is a distributive philosophy of political economy developed in the 1920s and 1930s by C. H. Douglas. Douglas attributed economic downturns to discrepancies between the cost of goods and the compensation of the workers who made them. To combat what he saw as a chronic deficiency of purchasing power in the economy, Douglas prescribed government intervention in the form of the issuance of debt-free money directly to consumers or producers (if they sold their product below cost to consumers) in order to combat such discrepancy.

Stumbled onto this randomly and I find it interesting and rarely talked about. It almost seems like a capitalistic approach to communism which I had no idea existed. The oddest thing about it to me is that most parties advocating for it were highly religious and right wing. On the surface, it seems fairly progressive and left leaning to me though.

What are your thoughts?

I have a lot of issues with Trudeau but the one thing I have to give him is that he can really deal with Trump well

Side note but since when is Canada a major source of drug cartels and fentanyl production lol?

I had no idea this building was so old, let alone so beautiful in its prime. I'd love to bring it back to it's former glory someday.

The story of the Jackson Building is both fabled and fraught. Its history has been buffeted by great events - both World Wars, a man-made disaster, the Roaring Twenties, the birth of Canada's radio broadcasting, and the vagaries of Federal Government accommodation. The Jackson has now slipped back into obscurity. Hard to believe that what is today an anonymous brick block was once one of Ottawa’s best-known addresses. And, that there are still a few stories to be told. This post is replete with lengthy extracts from the overheated advertising copy-writers of the 1920s and 30s, which will have to suffice until photographs of the Jackson's more exciting features are uncovered.

Pat King, a key figure in what became the Freedom Convoy protest that paralyzed downtown Ottawa in early 2022, has been found guilty of most charges against him for his role.

Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland is delivering his decision at the Ottawa Courthouse Friday.

King has been found guilty of five charges including mischief, counselling to commit mischief and disobeying a court order.

He's been found not guilty of three charges: intimidation, counselling to commit intimidation and obstructing a public or peace officer.
