I seem to recall Majorie Taylor Green doing same to Biden, but she wasn’t censured … hope Dems are taking notes. It doesn’t pay to be too nice … we Canadians are keenly aware of this, especially now. #ElbowsUp 💪🫵🇨🇦

Canada goose fights off a bald eagle that tried to attack it, after 20 minutes the Eagle ran off.

Gotta love Justin! ❤️ WHO AGREES?! 🤚 Trudeau. Is. A. Badass. 😎✨

Are you nervous, Elon?

🎙️Irv, cleanup on aisle seven.

Greenland Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede reasserted Wednesday that Greenland cannot be bought, in response to the felon, who said the United States would acquire the territory “one way or another” during his speech to Congress on Tuesday in Washington. globalnews.ca/news/1106686...

BREAKING -- Hungary to be STRIPPED of voting rights in European Parliament for engaging in pro-Putin, anti-Ukraine obstructionism Excellent news. Now kick them out of the EU entirely.

The European Council has invited Zelenskyy to attend its big meeting tomorrow.

Key quotes from John Manley: The United States “is no longer a reliable partner, not in security and not in business or trade.” “There is no point in having a negotiation with somebody like that because you can’t expect them to live up to their commitments” www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/5f2c11f...

Target is facing a 40-day consumer boycott starting Wednesday over the company’s shift away from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

Trudeau: He has said repeatedly, what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us. First of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state.

Something to bear in mind, for both Canadians and Americans, throughout all of this is that Trump won a plurality (~49.5%), not a majority, of the popular vote. And more Americans didn't vote than voted for him. When you look at all voting-age Americans, this is how it breaks down:

@RonFilipkowski Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S. We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off. Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

This isn't a trade war. This is Donald Trump trying to drag Canada into the massive political dumpster fire he started in Washington. Canadians won't be bullied. We will remain: True. North. Strong Free. Elbows up. Read my latest here: charlieangus.substack.com/p/message-to...

When America faltered, others stood up to lead.

The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty. The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean. Sucks for Kentucky and California.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell

Trudeau: "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...Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."

Hero vs Zero

Isn't this the truth..

I keep returning to Chad- 13 times so far Climate crisis hit Africa hard. In some areas it hasn’t rained for years. Crops wont grow. Ppl starve. Babies die first. If an aid group comes, they bring life saving nutrients & medicines. Now USAid is shuttered, countless children will die

This is probably the most accurate take.

A point to consider.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did on J6

#BuyCanadian must include NOT buying anything produced by US-owned Trump media acolytes. #ElbowsUp #Canada #cdnpoli

Democracy is not destiny. If you wanted our progressive parties to put Canada and Canadians ahead of their ambitions before, you know it is now imperative. We can make that happen.

Today you are going to see nearly every editorial piece written in Postmedia publications blaming Canadians or liberals for the trade war. This is to distract from the fact that they have American ownership, and have been arguing against Canadian interests for sometime.

The MAGA War on Speech. For all their bluster, supposed free-speech crusaders like Trump and Musk have proved themselves consistently intolerant when it comes to words, ideas and perspectives they disagree with. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o... via @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Not since the Great Depression have Canada-US tariffs risen as broadly or as sharply. Uncertainty is now double the COVID peak. My latest for @TheHubCanada roughly quantifies the effect on investment and employment. It’s not pretty: thehub.ca/2025/03/04/... #cdnecon #cdnpoli
