CBC? Let's chat. Why are you understating one of the most important conferences in world history? "Carney says" is far weaker than saying, "Canada and the EU finish initial historic conference in Montreal for associate membership" https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/european-union-canada-associate-member-von-der-leyen-9.740198931 Oct 2026 15:13 +0000at://did:plc:zcmfkybw6awkpomefzrabalk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mz6lh3rtgs2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/stidmatt.bsky.social/post/3mz6kgkdst22iThe data has been pointing to this for many years now. Now we are seeing the obvious expansion come to fruition. The main tenants need to be freedom of movement, customs union, and Schengen membership.

It's cheap to stop Russia's attacks by blowing up their infrastructure, which allows them to wage war. It is far more expensive to focus on building interceptors while still letting Russia build missiles. Yet we blocked Ukraine from striking Russia for years. #SlavaUkraine https://www.economist.com/international/2026/08/18/what-happens-when-interceptor-missiles-run-out31 Oct 2026 14:49 +0000at://did:plc:zcmfkybw6awkpomefzrabalk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mz6k4dkpuk2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/stidmatt.bsky.social/post/3mz6jmod77s2iI didn't watch a video on Ukraine for one day, and now YouTube shows me nothing on the home page for the deadliest war in Europe in 80 years.

It matters a lot. While a growing number of people think reports on the Holocaust are exaggerated, most online writing I read about it understates it in every possible way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnsBI4YxwIs28 Oct 2026 22:46 +0000at://did:plc:zcmfkybw6awkpomefzrabalk/app.bsky.feed.post/3myxtffwd3c2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/stidmatt.bsky.social/post/3myvottcqu22dI literally don't believe it.
