🇷🇺 Putin signs new Russian nuclear doctrine after Biden's arms decision for Ukraine
"Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday signed a revised nuclear doctrine declaring that a conventional attack on Russia by any nation that is supported by a nuclear power will be considered a joint attack on his country.
The signing of the doctrine, which says that any massive aerial attack on Russia could trigger a nuclear response, demonstrates Putin's readiness to tap the country's nuclear arsenal to force the West to back down as Moscow presses a slow-moving offensive in Ukraine."

👉 Please Boost-thanks
👉 Please read the entire article for listings of the border crossings and hours of operation
"The news comes after Immigration Minister Marc Miller said last week that the federal government may be looking at boosting enforcement resources to crack down on irregular migrants who don’t leave Canada, and addressed the need for mutual enforcement of the Safe Third Country Agreement with the U.S.
The government has been pressed by opposition parties and provinces on its plan to add additional resources at the U.S.-Canada border in anticipation of a potential increase in people seeking to enter Canada from the U.S., where president-elect Donald Trump has vowed mass deportations."

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke is calling for the end of Canada’s public postal service because its workers have gone on strike.
The company’s leaders are increasingly pushing extreme right-wing positions in Canada. Gutting Canada Post would effectively end delivery in many rural and remote communities because it’s not profitable for private companies to serve them.

Eritrean journalist Akberet Beyene was placed under house arrest in her home country as part of a crackdown on the media, and eventually fled the country dressed in her mother’s clothes and carrying her sister’s passport. It was just the first step in her journey to Canada as an asylum seeker. She tells her story in a new book, Geographies of the Heart,
which is excerpted in @thetyee.

👀 "The Dangerous Americanization of Alberta Democracy
Danielle Smith is looking south for inspiration, ideas and laws.
Legislation such as the Alberta Sovereignty Act and the Provincial Priorities Act have garnered strong opposition, with critics highlighting threats to the constitutional division of powers and rule of law, academic freedom and Indigenous sovereignty.
Proposed changes to the #Alberta
Human Rights Act and anti-trans legislation have sparked additional concerns.
Many of these measures were left out of the UCP’s 2023 election platform, raising questions as to their origins. While much has been made about her borrowing pages from the Quebec playbook, Smith’s idealization of #Republican policy in the United States may provide additional clues as to the source of the #UCP’s policies.
In a 2023 speech,👉 Smith praised Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and projected Alberta as a “little bastion of freedom” in the same vein.
Policy diffusion occurs when ideas, practices or innovations spread from one government or jurisdiction to another. In January, for instance, Republican Gov. Spencer Cox signed the Utah Constitutional Sovereignty Act, a bill that is almost identical to the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act (2022).
...represents a broader transformation toward a brand of right-wing populism that undermines liberal democratic norms by reducing local autonomy, curtailing academic freedom and concentrating authority in the political executive.
If similar moves at the federal level may be labelled the presidentialization of the prime ministership, Smith’s actions can be considered an attempt to turn her own office into that of a U.S. governor. "

CCLA [Canadian Civil Liberties Association] Condemns Government of Ontario's
Proposal to Imprison the Innocent
"Ontario’s proposal to eliminate bail in all cases for certain offences is a direct attack on due process and a violation of the #Charter.
A charge is not a conviction. This proposal would send innocent people to jail for years for crimes they did not commit.
To be clear: #Ontario is proposing that a person with no criminal record facing a weak case should now be sent directly to jail until a trial takes place – a process that could take up to three years.
As the recent acquittal of Umar Zameer on murder charges made clear, even a serious charge can rest on flimsy evidence and result in an acquittal.
It is also deeply concerning that #Police associations have publicly endorsed the government’s call for the suspension of Charter rights for people in #Canada
This is ONE of the reasons why you should NEVER go to H&R Block !
"Tens of thousands of taxpayer accounts hacked as CRA repeatedly paid out millions in bogus refunds
Agency admits it vastly underreported cyberattacks against Canadian taxpayers to Parliament"
"At the height of this year's tax season, the Canada Revenue Agency discovered that hackers had obtained confidential data used by one of the country's largest tax preparation firms, H&R Block Canada."
"It eventually became clear that the stolen H&R block information helped imposters gain access to Canadians' tax returns, change banking information and even their addresses in order to claim bogus refunds and tax credits."
