The Liberals, headed by Trudeau, have not been doing so hot lately. Polls have been rather poor, showing the party far behind the Conservatives, and the Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland (an outspoken apologist for Ukrainian Nazis) resigned recently, with more MPs following her lead. Trump’s return to power has shaken the Canadian establishment due to his threats to impose massive tariffs on Mexico and Canada, which will have substantial economic consequences given that Canada sends most of its exports to the US, compounding the economic malaise that has affected most of the world over the last few years.
With all this bad news, there are rumors and reports that Trudeau will soon resign, ending his nine years of rule. His fall would be yet another casualty in the wave of incumbent parties falling across the imperial core, only to be replaced by more conservative parties that have very similar policies but wish to cast all blame and hardship onto minorities.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia’s youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don’t want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it’s just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists’ side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.

https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a ‘propaganda tax’, if you don’t believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.

Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump speaks out in support of the Venezuelan opposition, and calls upon the ‘regime’ not to harm freedom fighters Maria Corina Machado & President-elect Gonzalez.
Maria Corina Machado, the face of the Venezuelan opposition, was arrested earlier today after a last ditch effort to prevent tomorrow’s ratification of the Presidential Election results from July 2024, which resulted in a heavily controversial win for incumbent candidate Nicolas Maduro.
Bipartisan support for terrorism
Trump’s Invasion of Greenland Would Be ‘World’s Shortest War’ - Politico. Denmark has only 17,000 soldiers, and most of the heavy equipment for the ground forces was donated to Ukraine.
EU’s Von der Leyen has not received invite to Trump inauguration, spokesperson says.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has not yet received an invitation to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, a spokesperson said on Friday. “If she receives an invitation, then we will see but there are no plans (to attend the inauguration) at the moment”, spokesperson Paula Pinho told reporters during a daily briefing.
Trump has broken with precedent and invited several foreign leaders to the ceremony. Historically they have not attended due to security concerns and have sent diplomats instead. Chinese President Xi Jinping, former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni among others have received invitations.
When will people learn Bolsonaro literally can’t leave Brazil. At this point I think they are just fucking with him.
According to reports, Xi will not attend but will send a top-level envoy in his place.
The Kingdom of Denmark changes its coat of arms for the first time in 500 years in response to Donald Trump’s threats to invade Greenland and take the territory by force.
The measure taken by King Frederik removes the triple crown of the Kalmar Union (which united Denmark, Sweden and Norway) and places the bear of Greenland and the ram of the Faroe Islands. In his New Year’s speech, the king reaffirmed the unity of the Kingdom of Denmark “all the way to Greenland”.
So like does anyone have any tales on Maduro
I completely missed the news about Anita Bryant being fucking dead. Rest in piss.

Why the fuck treatlerites care so much about looting in fire zones? It is gonna be burnt down, who cares if someone steals it?
Rather out of topic rant I will make
I think Iraq war was much more devastating to USA in some other ways people realise. I can not say I know too much but no other war veterans seem to be this much opposed to USA foreign actions than Iraq war veterans. I think it is because it was partially successful war. They successfully killed saddam and destroyed so much doing so. When it was time to rebuild, USA failed utterly. Gave way to creation of groups like ISIS. Soldiers saw it first hand how they destroyed a country to turn it into a ruin. They saw it theirself how much they have ruined. So I guess moral of the story is if you successfully occupy a land, you might suffer long term army morale problems if you ruin the land
I just realized these fires are happening in the middle of winter season in LA. If they aren’t getting any rain what are the fires going to be like in the summer? They’re 4.5" below what they should be at this time. This feels like just the beginning.

Modern Nazis like the AfD are so shit, they don’t even have the ‘dull the Germans by giving them jobs’ part, they only have Islamophobia.
Kalecki’s saying “One of the important functions of fascism, as typified by the Nazi system, was to remove the capitalist objections to full employment.” no longer applies
A little news from Kursk oblast. All of the Kiev regime’s recent attacks failed – they could not capture a single settlement. Meanwhile, over the past few days, Russian forces liberated the Kursk oblast settlements of Leonidovo, Russkoye Porechnoye, and Kruglenkoye.
In addition, over 20 Kiev regime invaders (from the “82nd Airborne Assault Brigade” and the “225th Separate Assault Battalion”) surrendered to Russian forces in Kursk oblast, near Berdin (videos): https://southfront.press/testimony-of-ukrainian-soldiers-captured-in-russian-kursk-region/

Lmao. I do prefer this more naked imperialism from the US, it’s more honest. Well perhaps not more naked, just directed towards the imperial periphery this time.
But the disquiet brought on by Trump’s refusal to rule out military intervention to seize Greenland remains.
Karsten Honge said Denmark would have suffer whatever decision the US takes.
“They just need to send a small battleship to travel down the Greenland coast and send a polite letter to Denmark,” he said, only partly in jest.
"The last sentence would be: well, Denmark, what you gonna do about it?
“That’s the new reality with regards to Trump.”
The opposition takes to the streets in an empty march in Caracas on the eve of Maduro’s inauguration.
María Corina said that this Friday will be the ‘final sentence of the regime’; her alleged arrest has been denied by the government. The opposition has tried to create a climate to interfere with Nicolás Maduro’s inauguration. Videos on social networks, calls for marches and an international tour of countries governed by the right were the main tricks used by the extreme right that questions the result of the July 28 elections. But what was seen on Thursday (9) was a demonstration that brought together around 3,000 people in eastern Caracas.
Ultra-liberal María Corina Machado called on opponents to hold what she called a “march for freedom” on the eve of the presidential inauguration. The group claims that the former Unity Platform candidate, Edmundo González Urrutia, will be sworn in on Friday (10) in a move that has not been detailed by the opposition.
