@avankoeverden.bsky.social Congratulations Adam on your new Secretary of State role!

MAGA is freaking out! How dare those Catholics choose a Pope that follows Christian values for real!

Alberta premier Danielle Smith and her government are embarking on what you might call a live-ammunition exercise, and one that could quickly get out of hand, @davidmoscrop.com writes

The Prime Minister of a sovereign country came to the United States today and actually had to tell the President of the United States - to his face - that his sovereign country wasn’t for sale. And would never be for sale. That actually happened today.

Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border.. Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind Reporter: Oh I could

No apologies necessary.

CTV calling for the Liberals! Congratulations @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social #Canada #ElbowsUp

Here we go Canada as the majority of polls now closed. Bring it home Prime Minister @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social

Excellent, revealing story from @raisapatel.bsky.social on how the CPC tried to turn committees into social media chum, while attacking expertise when possible. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

This is injecting bleach for the entire global economy. And he's not just floating the idea: he's holding the syringe.

It’s the April snow storm in Toronto. This will scare the Americans from taking over. Good move, Carney!(Tomorrow, per tradition, it will be 17C. )

World’s worst parent and it’s a high bar.

Elbows up, Canada.

Some right-wing faux-journalist leeches decided to go after Mark Carney's trans kid. They couldn't even rub together enough journalistic skill to do that properly. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/you-dont-g...

Remember when Putin said he wanted Kamala to win? I’m sure Trump wants Mark Carney. Right, sure. #canada #elbowsup

Just two weeks away - the 25th Anniversary edition of Oshawa Music Week! Five days of great events culminating in a alumni and faculty reunion on April 5 #OMW #Oshawa #Music www.oshawamusicweek.ca

Hey Little Marco can you understand that it doesn't matter what Trump wants to argue, Canada is a sovereign nation will never belong to the United States or be part of the United States, NEVER. #ElbowsUp

Congratulations to @mark-carney.bsky.social as he is sworn in as Canada's 24th Prime Minister. Long Live Canada! Vive le Canada! #TrueNorthStrongandFREE

New column from me at @xtramagazine.com: Trudeau’s allyship was at the forefront of his term. How will Carney follow? #canqueer #cdnpoli

Weak and ineffective. The opposite of leadership.

Today Centennial College announces closure of their campus at Carlaw and Mortimer. Classes will be relocated to their Progress Campus in Scarborough. This is a huge loss for our community. Gross underfunding of higher education is the heart of the problem. Site future unknown.

Enough of the Lucy with the football games. Delay or no delay Canada needs to go full force against the Trump Tariffs. #ElbowsUp #CanadaFirst

How to Fight Back #Canada #Tariffs #ElbowsUp - macleans.ca/politics/how...

Canadian PM Trudeau on the Trump admin: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin — a lying, murderous, dictator." "Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight, not when our country … is at stake."

The famous communist rag, the Wall Street Journal.

“What he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us." This is the most extraordinary statement by a Canadian prime minister in the history of this country. The Trump administration is at war with Canada.

We are here. The Trump Administration is simultaneously imposing tariffs on Canada (for no reason) while seeking to drop sanctions against Russia (for no reason)...

The market just started tanking as Trump started talking about tariffs during a televised speech. He just crashed the markets.

If Marco Rubio had a functioning conscience, he’d resign, but that’s not going to happen.

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

I’m so fucking mad. And so fucking ashamed.

trump on calling zelenskyy a dictator: “did i say that? i can’t believe i said that.” sure, jan

Unintentionally-telling frame in this AI-generated vision of how #Gaza might look after the ethnic cleansing of #Palestinians: ♦️Trump showing off his beach-bod. Alongside an equally-taut #Netanyahu.

Let me translate two things this libertarian light nincompoop is saying: Personal liberties means doing whatever the fuck I want. Free markets means doing whatever the fuck I want. He’s an adult toddler.
