Oh Hoekstra, you are an idiot, we will be spending our hard earned cash, but it will be in Canada and other countries but not the US. Your own citizens are not safe, you think Canadians are as stupid as you are? Think again. Elbows Up!

More of the usual bullshit gaslighting from the MAGA ambassador. Canada issued a travel warning about having phones seized by US customs because it is a real threat. He claims Americans face threats in Canada as well. The difference is we have the rule of law. They have ICE gangs kidnapping people.

These are courage folks who will go down in history. LA is taking their streets back from ICE by taking to the streets themselves. #ElbowsUp @charlieangus104.bsky.social this is resistance. www.youtube.com/live/VCw_181...

A massive error by Mr. Kinew. A pipeline to Hudson Bay is building a stranded asset. By the time it's finished (2030s) there will be NO market for methane exports. Europe is weaning itself from gas as it builds out renewables. Dumb economics. #EnergyTransition www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

My band @grievousangels104.bsky.social are in Sudbury Thursday July 24. Book your ticket here: www.eventbrite.ca/e/grievous-a... "There's only one reason this town was built. One reason it remains. 5,000 feet down the No. 3 shaft where the highgrade starts to pay." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pPt...

I promised my daughter I would drywall the upstairs of her place last January. A little late - but its getting done. Btw... Go Oilers go.

Canadian politicians are actively discussing increased oil production & more pipelines which will ensure that wildfires & other effects will get worse. Global warming WILL reach 1.5C by 2030, 2C by 2050 & a minimum of 3C by 2100. More oil will ensure steadily increasing global warming. 🙁

The genocide continues. Our leaders have turned away but ordinary people are taking the street. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

"Our leaders were letting us down. International solidarity was under threat. The poison of online disinformation was everywhere. But it felt so reassuring to stand with the veterans of D-Day. They knew the price of liberty." It will be up to us to preserve that legacy. Let’s seize that torch.

As the planet burns. Canada has the 3rd highest child asthma rate caused by pollution in the world. Air pollution kills 34,000 people die in Canada every year. 8.7 million people die around the world. More than deaths from smoking. And Canada is going all in on fossil fuel burning.

81 years ago, my Grandpa and the Royal Winnipeg Rifes landed at Juno Beach to start a campaign to kick Nazi asses. Fighting Fascism is a family tradition, and I'll keep that tradition going. #ElbowsUp #StrongandFree

I know there is a lot out there competing for our attention, but this one piece by @charlieangus.substack.com.web.brid.gy has sat with me all day. Even as I (too) try to make sense of the narcissists' feud à la Musk-Trump, this is the story that has me searching for historical insight.

Hey Sudbury we are coming to see you. Thursday July 24. Book your tickets here: www.eventbrite.ca/e/grievous-a... www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pPt...

Thanks to all who fought against right-wing fascism and tyranny. #IAmCanadian #IStandWithCanada #IStandWithUkraine #FascistStatesOfAmerica #MAGACult #RepublicanNaziParty

A beautiful photo. Thank you sir, for your service. We are indebted to all of you who served.

D-Day Veteran in his 90s wading in the shores of Juno beach with a Canadian flag. Don't mess with us fascists this is ANTIFA - Canada Style.

And this folks is what we Canuks call a Charlie Angus hat trick!

Treaty 9 youth are leading to resistance to Doug Ford's attack on the land. Breaking the treaties is the oldest con in confederation. But it ain't going to happen Doug. The Indigenous youth are not going back.

And this protest cannot be solely on the back of First Nations. Support all protests wherever they happen!

I joined workers from the Worker Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) on strike. They are the front line of dealing with injured workers. Doug Ford is outsourcing work to the United States and leaving these workers with huge workloads. They deserve a fair deal. @cupescfp.bsky.social

I don't think even Canadian media understands the anger and rage. "Elbows up" is staying around. This was a betrayal. It will never be forgotten, even long after the tariff bullshit is over.

Part 1. Elbows up. Part 2. Drop the gloves. Part 3. Send the team over the boards. And then comes the moment where we pull the jersey over the doofus's head. But count on him going full TACO.

Children in Fort Severn First Nation standing up against Doug Ford's Bill 5. "As I make my way back home to Thunder Bay, I don’t feel disheartened or defeated. I feel hopeful. Because I am seeing our people rising up, and I can feel the power in that." - Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler

📢 to everyone in Timmins: NO BILL 5 without Indigenous representation and consultation!

At Juno Beach I realized that the democratic values that I had taken for granted didn't just happen. They were paid for at an immense cost of lives and sacrifice. Would we be willing to pay the same sacrifice if the darkness descended again? My reflection on June 6. substack.com/home/post/p-...

At noon today at the Participark in Timmins Indigenous youth will lead a march against Doug Ford's attempt to steal the land. Come out and show your support. People will be marching in every community to stop Bill 5.

Canadians landing at Juno Beach on this day. We offer this tribute. "On the sand you wrote your name with the blood of liberty And died in a foreign land so that others might be free It’s a spirit that the world still needs amidst the wars and refugees." www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii79...

Grandmothers Against Genocide are forming chapters in numerous communities. And you don't have to be a grandmother to stand up for what is right. www.torontotoday.ca/local/politi...

Neskantaga has gone 30 years without clean drinking water. Read that again.

"When thieves and thugs fall out and fight there's fell arrears to pay; And soon or late sin meets its fate, and so it fell one day." -Robert Service, The Ballad of the Black Fox Pelt. Lol. I am going to crack open a bottle of wine and celebrate this moment. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

The Resistance Tour is rolling out with new stops this summer and fall - plans are coming together fast! Stay tuned for updates!

Indigenous resistance is rising. Doug Ford's grifter government has passed Bill 5 allowing companies to ignore duties to consult or carry out environmental assessments. Indigenous communities will not go along with the steal. Get set for Idle No More 2.0 charlieangus.substack.com/p/resistance...

People wonder why Donald Trump is determined to destroy Harvard University. It is the only American university in the top 10 rankings for research. The American century is over. Trump is driving his nation onto the rocks. Canada musn't go down with the US ship. But we need politicians to step up.

Tickets are now available for the resistance tour in Oshawa. Donald Trump is trying to destroy the Canadian working class. Oshawa will hold the line. June 17 Regent Theatre Oshawa June 19 Royal City Mission Guelph

I am thrilled to be in conversation tonight with author, war historian Gwynne Dyer over what is happening in the world today. We are speaking at the Porcupine Dante Club in Timmins tonight. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

I came in tonight and reached for the phone to phone my sister. And then I remembered she has been gone 7 years. I sometimes feel that she is still here. I just have lost the number to reach her. Here is a song I wrote as she passed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mw8d...

Shoes are great Charlie boy but the something, something inside the shoes… 😆👍

A true Canadian hero

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful man...

Thank you Charlie for a heartfelt tribute to a great Canadian and public servant. "He flew to space, now it is time to fly to the angels."

My daughters tell me it all comes down to the shoes.

Marc Garneau served this country with determination and dignity. I was honoured to serve in Parliament with him. He represented the best of public service. He flew to space, now it is time to fly to the angels.

Thank you @charlieangus104.bsky.social Canadian govt @mark-carney.bsky.social needs to put words into Actions and take a definitive stand in supporting and protecting human rights of Palestinians, an Indigenous Peoples. A peace-keeping force needs to be sent into the region immediately.

Well done👏 Genocide by any other name.

Men in masks are kidnapping people off the street.They are being sent to El Salvadorean prison camps and South Sudan. Trump is creating a new Gulag system where people can be disappeared beyond legal protection. My latest on the attack on the rule of law. charlieangus.substack.com/p/american-g...
