This is highly worrying. #Trump has issued an executive order that basically is supposed to make it possible to use military forces as "law enforcement" and paves the way for the police acting with legal impunity. They are preparing to violently quash expected riots.

„Mark Carney's Liberal Party has won the Canadian election and will form the next government, public broadcaster CBC projects. But it remains too close to call whether he has enough support to secure a majority in parliament, or will have to rely on other parties to govern.“ — BBC News

‚Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said his country deserves respect from the US and will only enter trade and security talks with President Donald Trump "on our terms" He will only visit Washington ‚when there was a "serious discussion to be had" that respected Canada's sovereignty.‘

In case you missed it: In Germany, a man has just become transport minister who went to demonstrate for motorways. But maybe that's just not a surprise. More. For decades.
