A Canada and Mercosur free trade agreement is in the making!
Congratulations, President @LulaOficial, on your re-election in Brazil.
The relationship between Canada and Brazil has flourished under our partnership. Let’s seize this opportunity to make it even stronger, together — to create major new trade opportunities, protect the environment, and build greater prosperity for both our peoples.

Brazil's Election:
The far-right is pushing this narrative while leaving out half the story. Check the timeline and the numbers and the whole thing falls apart:
October 25:
Earlier in the day, @FlavioBolsonaro (PL) bragged on social media about having 200,000+ volunteer poll watchers in electoral zones.
~1pm: @LulaOficial (PT) files 1 request to extend voting (0603389-27.2026.6.00.0000), plus 1 addendum around 3pm.
~3pm: @FlavioBolsonaro (PL) ALSO asks to extend voting, with 2 separate requests (0603394-49.2026.6.00.0000 and 0603393-64.2026.6.00.0000).
~4pm: @LulaOficial takes his request to the STF.
~5pm: TSE president hadn't ruled yet. Zanin notes that BOTH candidates asked for an extension and orders it only for polling stations still open.
~8pm: TSE president Nunes Marques, appointed by Bolsonaro himself, declares Lula the winner and states on the record that the extension did not affect the result or compromise the voting system.
After 8pm: the heads of the Chamber and the Senate, and international leaders, recognize the result.
Now the math. Only 0.027% of votes came in after 5pm: 34,424 out of 127,697,270 (excluding abroad). @LulaOficial won by ~4.4M. He grew ~10M from the 1st round, @FlavioBolsonaro ~4M. That +14M came from fewer blank/null votes, third-party voters and lower abstention.
34k late votes don't flip a 4.4M lead.
Sources: public TSE ballot box logs, official TSE results, TSE/STF filings (0603389-27.2026.6.00.0000, 0603394-49.2026.6.00.0000, 0603393-64.2026.6.00.0000).

The world needed hope right now - and Brazil delivered it.
After a wave of pro-American far-right candidates swept Latin America, Lula defied the odds.
The world's fourth largest democracy has been saved from far-right authoritarianism.
Here's to hope ✊
this is fantastic. well done toronto! cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/o…

If done by a human, this would be a federal crime.
Wait. It was done by a human. His picture is right there in the article.

The ICJ found Israel's occupation unlawful. It must end.
Until then, under int'l law, Palestinians have the right to resist it through lawful means.
Israel shall protect its youth by ending the colonial project that traps many of them in committing atrocity crimes.
A war is coming to the West Bank
Yesterday Palestinian resistance fighters conducted a surgical strike against Israeli occupation soldiers, fully in accordance with international law.
In response, Israeli government immediately announced that they will do war crimes and started doing war crimes.
All the Palestinian villages in the West Bank are under siege, the city of Hebron is under siege. IDF is demolishing house after house, raiding family after family. They said they want to turn Hebron into Rafah.
More than 250 families were kicked out into the streets with nothing. People slept on the street last night.
The Israeli election is in 3 days, and the Netanyahu-Smotrich government is going to use this to start a war in the West Bank.
The only way to stop this is pressure from all directions. We know it works. International pressure worked for the besieged house in Qusra, which still belongs to the Palestinians because of the all-around attention. It can work for Hebron too.
But it will require EVERYONE reading this doing everything they can to stop this. Call your representative, hold a demonstration, organise direct action against the occupation’s assets abroad. Keep attention on the West Bank.
ACT NOW.

Elon is deliberately trying to pop the AI bubble and crash the stock market because he thinks he can pick up one of the labs and get plenty of compute for cheap in the aftermath. He knows the hyperscalers and labs have no moat anyway, so he’s kicking the legs out from under the whole thing.
Mark my words. He hasn’t suddenly realized the AI market is smoke and mirrors. He’s under pressure from the Starlink situation and he’s making a move to kill the chatbot industry because he thinks he’s in a position to rule over the ashes.
He’s not wrong. He’s just right for the wrong reasons.

My reporting on the student movement in Serbia last summer. They kept at it, amazingly, for two years. And they won.

It begins
BREAKING: Microsoft, $MSFT, is offering buyouts to 60,000 workers as part of the company’s efforts to cut costs amid AI adoption, per Bloomberg.
Personnel on select teams in the US, Canada, India, and the UK at a vice president level and below will be eligible.
This reflects ~27% of Microsoft's total workforce.

Two+yrs ago I said: " I long for the day there will be an investigation on the role of Western media in the genocide in Gaza".
From the very beginning many authoritative media have acted unprofessionally and irresponsible.
My last report proves there is more. And it's ugly.

Cry harder, bitch.
STEVE BANNON: The Secretary of State and the President need to come out now, cut off diplomatic relations, and shut down everything with Brazil.
No trade, nothing. This is an illegitimate Marxist globalist government.
If you don’t think this election stealing is coming here, you're dead wrong.
If we don't take action, it’s happening here next Tuesday.

Lmao Flavio Bolsonaro has been without Parliamentary immunity for all of 24 hours and he has so many criminal cases going into gear that the police is already asking he surrenders his passport to avoid him fleeing corruption charges
