“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

Poilievre has spent his entire adult life in politics. It's literally the only thing he's ever done. But him sucking at it is entirely some woman's fault.

The story of Glock, No. BBF797US: How an American gun ended up killing a Canadian cop Man, what great reporting this is from Betsy Powell.

So: the “Protect Bathurst / Dufferin” astroturf campaign run by Summerhill Market had videos of a guy talking about the neighborhood & RapidTO proposal. Real grassroots feel. Took a screenshot & put it into google image search. Guess what?

The Dishonorable Marco Rubio brought The Addams Family's Thing to the hearing.

US campaign entices Canada tourists: “Come visit America and also maybe El Salvador!”

So much winning. “With tax cuts and tariffs hanging in the balance, Moody’s appears to be sending a message that it thinks these policy changes will, on net, put the US on an even worse fiscal trajectory,” wrote Bank of America... ' #USpoli #WorldEconomics www.cnbc.com/2025/05/19/u...

Elsa Lam continues to prove & document how corrupt & full of lies the Doug Ford closure of the science centre was & is. Read & share widely - not that it matters in Ontario, a province that seems ok w a high level of this. www.canadianarchitect.com/draft-engine...

We asked 2,000 representative US households what one word they would use to describe the United States. We asked 1,000 representative Canadian households what one word they would use to describe Canada. Here are the results from our latest survey (May 1-7):

So, not really a deal.

My 85 y/o MIL (immigrant as a child to US) who is now here in Canada has travel anxiety as it is, she's not going to the US to visit family this year b/c of these detentions. Just too much.

Chantal Hébert started at Radio-Canada in 1975—and 50 years later, she’s still one of Canada’s most trusted political voices. Public broadcasting made that possible. Let’s keep defending it. #SaveTheCBC #CBCForever #ChantalHebert

Love Carneys backhand compliment “ All countries are stepping up their military and security because of you” 😂

Btw the shitty livestream from the Oval was brought to you by Starlink since the streams compete with each other and phone connections when using Starlink

Lutnick is talking about the EO that exempts car parts from being tariffed, says this benefits somehow Canada. Trump says “nothing will change his mind to lift tariffs off of Canada” Carney: with respect our view on 51st state or tariffs will not change. 50% of cars coming to US are from Canada

Mark Carney says about the 51st State: "Respectfully Canadians' view on this and is not going to change on the 51st state. Secondly, what are the largest client of the United States."

Carney gives Trump a diss and he doesn't even catch it while he puffs about him "revitalizing security in the world" #CDNpli #USpoli #TradeWar

jeez, stop the idea that a deal is to be made today! #Canada #CDNpoli #Tradewar
