"Exactly how does showing our insecurity as a nation, and our embarrassing lack of initiative in cutting our last colonial ties to Britain, demonstrate our sovereignty?...instead of elbows up, it'll be elbows down."

If I’m following the logic correctly here, “Elbow’s Up” refers to a rejection of American imperialism as well as a celebration of British imperialism?

Obligatory driving is making Canadians unhappy too. Unhappy about the cost and stress. Unhappy about the time wasted. Unhappy about cooking our only planet. Unhappy about being so much like that place with the orange guy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024... #elbowsup #cdnpoli

Gaza : injustifiable. C'est la une de Libération ce mardi. Refusant toujours de laisser entrer l’aide humanitaire, l’armée israélienne poursuit ses bombardements aveugles. La plupart de ses alliés ne l’acceptent plus.

We’ve been saying Zionism is fascism and there’s no such thing as liberal Zionism and we get pushback. Then Israelis just admit it.

Pierre Poilievre, speaking to caucus yesterday, referred to what I can only assume are the anti-genocide protests as “rampaging antisemitic riots.” He got a standing ovation. For seemingly pledging to crack down on people who want a genocide stopped. Very “free speech” of him. Fucking foul

Canada boldly asserts its sovereignty by inviting the King of another country over to remind everyone that he’s our head of state too. I know he’s our king too, but once can make a strong argument that Mary Simon better represents contemporary Canada. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

51 people were killed by Israel today. No statements of international condemnation from every world leader. No "violence is never the answer". The forced starvation of millions of people just continues. Outrage over the innocent seems to only apply in one direction

Horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in the middle of DC. This kind of violence is illegal, immoral, inexcusable and of course - if the chant of ‘free Palestine’ by the alleged shooter is true - solves nothing and helps zero Palestinians.
