NAV CANADA is closely monitoring the @FAANews ground stop. Our systems are operating normally and there is currently no impact to our operations. We continue to support the safe movement of air traffic in our airspace, including any aircraft that may be diverted. Passengers should check the status of their flight with their airline.

Dear Americans: Yet again, Canada has your back. Unconditionally. Because that's what neighbours do. BUT we are growing weary of these repeated, existential episodes of mind-blowing self-defeating incompetence, and strongly suggest you consider removing and replacing Donald Trump, JD Vance and their entire administration.

NEW: The FAA tells me it's rolling out its AI flight-routing tool nationwide. The goal? Fewer delays and shorter flight times. I got a look at how it works—including one flight the FAA says saved 42 minutes. But there are concerns about safety and oversight.

As a homicide detective, I can say with all of my being that there is no lesson learned in seeing someone die. But there is a price. And that price is your peace. Your decency. And the soul of our society. We don’t have to be this way, this fake tough but real ugly way. Stop
Breaking news: The firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be live-streamed, the Defense Department said. “People need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said. wapo.st/4hNxK0C

This is another step in the Nazi direction of normalizing public executions, make no mistake. These are Nazis wrapped in an American flag, carrying a Bible. Absolutely disgusting.
Pete Hegseth says Americans will be able to watch a Trump-approved firing-squad execution. If he follows through, the U.S. could join a disturbing club of countries known for public executions—including Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea. meidasnews.com/news/hegseth-…

A couple of Canadian kids created a Maga Monopoly game and called it "American Dictator." The cards include "Quiet Piggy" (only you can speak), and a redacted card (no one knows what it says). You can buy a Supreme Court Justice. They donate proceeds to local food banks. 🇨🇦❤️‍

As a person in long-term recovery, this is pretty damn cool. ❤️🇨🇦 Prime Minister Mark Carney recognizing September as National Recovery Awareness Month. Recovery deserves to be recognized, recovery deserves to be celebrated, and recovery is possible. I’m living proof. ❤️

Replying to @realDonaldTrump
That 8 million number was debunked in February 2025, it is every federal agency's combined subscription spending, not a subsidy to keep Politico alive. Recycling a debunked claim as new evidence of corruption does not make it true.

I watched K. Hillman this afternoon. The former Ambassador to the US, who was involved with the negotiations. She said they all had to sign confidentiality agreements, both sides. So Mark Carney cannot "come clean". What a stupid thing for Scheer to say.

My fellow Canadians. I urge you to listen to our Prime Minister's 15 minute remarks. I did. While Trump can only do bullshit memes, Prime Minister Carney outlines serious policy to build our nation stronger and withstand the Americans. Nous sommes maîtres chez nous.

Tomorrow, we’re heading out into Nuuk Fjord. Today, I stopped by the local store and bought some chocolate imported from Canada for the trip — just a small personal gesture to show my support and solidarity with our good neighbours in Canada. 🇨🇦🇬🇱

Carney on the U.S. seeking to limit Canada's ability to sign free trade deals with other countries: "Canada is a sovereign state. We will strike free trade deals with the countries we wish to strike free trade deals with."

Canada’s Conservatives are pressing Mr. Carney to release the text of the agreement he refused to sign. Our NYT reporting shows that the two negotiating teams signed confidentiality agreements (a requirement that is apparently standard in Trump administrations).
Il y a un moyen de mettre fin à toutes ces spéculations. Le premier ministre doit commencer par publier l'entente et s'adresser au Parlement canadien. Se rendre en France pour s'adresser au Parlement européen ne devrait pas être sa priorité : conservateur.ca/cpc/rappelon…
