Bob Rae, Canada’s UN ambassador, slammed Trump’s claim that Ukraine provoked war with Russia. Without naming him, Rae likened it to blaming Poland for WWII, calling it “Putin propaganda” and warning: accepting it means “bowing before Lies and Tyranny.”

If you like fellating the rich, while sodomizing the poor, this bill is for you.

The White House is so proud of the tariffs they don’t want you to see what they actually cost. Kinda like how white supremacists are so proud they don’t want you to see their face.

I could NOT not post this.

This viral photo of a ‘Liberal Boomer’ is missing context. He was being harassed by far-right activists. A Liberal supporter is now facing doxxing and intense online harassment after an aggressive group of far-right activists crashed a Mark Carney event

Ok. If this doesn’t wake people up again, I don’t know what will. Vote like our freedom depends on it. Because it does. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

Ahead of this evening's critical — and chaotic — Canadian election leaders' debate, the debate commission has given right-wing conspiracy news outlet Rebel News *five times* as many spots for its (fake) journalists as actual news outlets. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Several of the business leaders and tech CEOs behind the Build Canada lobbying effort are interested in a “DOGE” for Canada, and have even created a website that looks kinda like Doge.gov. My story today for @thetyee.ca: thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...

Poilievre is afraid of journalists. How is he ever going to face down Trump? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Elon’s Downfall

To be super clear: CTV Your Morning *approached* @rachelgilmore.bsky.social to do a weekly segment CTV announced on *national TV* she would be returning each week Then CTV *cancels* her segment after Poilievre’s staffer denounces the announcement on X pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelle...

Should CTV be publicly ridiculed every time they pretend an unbiased perspective after this? Oh, indubitably! Pillory those weak-kneed, capitulating flimflam flingers! But CTV exists within a Conservative-coddling corporate ecosystem — the masks come off when it's time to get their masters elected.

Hi All, sent out this free post as people (once again) lost their mind when Trump said something that seemed anti-Putin. Its happened regularly in the past 3 months--and every time he walks it back (as he has done already). He is toying with Ukraine and Europe. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
