I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

Thankfully, Canada operates on different values than the U.S. President, who loves to blame everyone else but himself.
We evaluate, question, determine cause, and go a step further and find ways to alleviate future crashes.
One of the great reasons to be Canadian.
Aaron, thank you for the truth!
I was going to type that ‘murcans must acknowledge that their country is now called Trumplandia before anyone else refers to the “Gulf of America”, but I think too many of them would embrace it.
Very good pressers with the facts they know, nothing else.
Great thanks to crew too.🇨🇦🇨🇦
Here the only time you hear “Thank you” is when 47 is asking for it as he never deserves it.
Maybe that counterpoint of sanity is why Trump wants to seize it? It’s like when you have a younger sibling who’s a good student, respectful, and conscientious and they just make you, the elder sibling,look like a twit.
Only one global administration blames DEI and uses a propaganda tv network to spread their lies. And only this regime has MAGA in their description, but not in their intent. Because they don't want to make anything great, except for their own bank accounts
"DEI" terrifies the folks on the Right, doesn't it? Why so fearful? Is it that they feel their stronghold beginning to slip away? By his actions, their Dear Leader certainly seems to think so. DEI is his Kryptonite. Ha Ha!!!
I’m sure there is a supporter out there saying “those Canadians don’t know the truth”. Sad part I believe what I just wrote. I’ve never been so boggled by some of my fellow Americans. BOGGLED.
I don't think it's even T-Rump's intention. It's all a distraction and designed to make Canadian politicians look good, bravely standing up to Goliath and using that popularity to win a new round of hastily called elections. Then when they are back in power, it'll be total tyranny.
I would particularly LOVE IT if the Canadians produced a few more of their brilliant comedies with Trump themes (magas are endlessly entertaining!) and a show that exists to show online posts MOCKING the Neon Pig and the Megalomaniac Kid, relentlessly.
MAGA comics commentary where appropriate. 😉
Will GOP officials travel to Toronto and sift through the wreckage hoping to find Hunter's laptop? When unsuccessful, will they accuse Canada of being complicit? I can then see one of the mental giants in the House introducing legislation to invade Canada. (Here I thought Greenland would be first.)
I just had to… “stick to the facts ‘cause the facts don’t lie, stick to your guns when the billets fly” what could be more Canadian than Sam Roberts ‘End of the Empire’
Yes. But we also had many anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers and the Alberta government is going in that direction. However, a growing population there is resisting and will hopefully pull them back from that brink. 🤞
There is a wide consensus it is a growing number and I don’t think that ignoring that reality is helpful to us. We even had a state of national emergency over it. Hate crimes are rising. We have to pay attention.
The airliner the crashed in Toronto Canada was filled with Americans attempting to escape from Donald Trump's America but their escape was stopped by sabotage conducted by Donald Trump's MAGA followers !
plus, they never point fingers to blame, raise their voices, ramble on about some other subject du jour, or rant about what was done in the previous administration.
Refreshing is an understatement-even if the news is horrific.
No wonder Canada is enjoying a new appreciation of their country. Me 2.
If the Conservatives get elected in the next election, this will all change. Pierre Poilievre is a little tRump want a be. He blames everything on the Liberal government.
He is constantly saying Canada is broken. Career politician who learned zilch about Canada. He obviously cannot read and has not driven across Canada nor lived in the North or he would see Canada differently. He has no experience negotiating. Loved by Musk and his friends.
This is my worry. If we can’t avoid a maple MAGAt government, we will be in a similar situation. We can’t get too sure of ourselves. There are so many things we’d like to believe we are, but I’ve been disabused of enough of them to be wary.
We need high voter turnout and strategic voting to defeat Poilievre. We can also support Bruce Fanjoy’s campaign. Bruce is the liberal candidate running against Poilievre in Carleton. Go Bruce!
"A-O RIV-AH!"
The episode of "Trumplandia" where the plane lands in the river and that Real World guy yells "A-O riv-ah" to his friends downstream while people die.
Actual numbers without compromising an active investigation. Many departments from different sectors and countries all working cooperatively. Not some vague exaggerated numbers purported to be transparency and speculation about DEI.
And the fact we would laugh at their pompous self righteousness, never buy into the idea of American Exceptionalism that they go on about. We would be uncontrollable, and they would hate that.
Buy Canadian Facts not Fox....
You honestly think we would get a vote? That’s on the table right now for married women in USA. We don’t stand a chance. We each vote now is vital. ABC
FYI, you don’t have a valid reason to still support #X #meta or #tesla. You are making selfish excuses for yourself. Bitch, put it it away. I’m not playing … this will come back to haunt you. I know, I’m the one going to insert myself into your desperate situation and humiliate you.
Everyday I become more intensely determined to help get President Karen impeached!
How any leader could ridicule and treat our loyal allies and trading partners so poorly, all for nothing but promoting his own hollow tough guy businessman image, is a destructive sham.
He has no honor!
More like the Trumplicants couldn’t cut it up there where the people take the role of government seriously, and the elected officials take accountability for their actions. Trump would never have been elected in Canada, and Musk would’ve been arrested by now.
Don't be so sure. Every democracy is vulnerable. When it's taken for granted, and people get lazy (ie don't participate, don't vote), something else moves in to occupy the vacuum. Democracy demands that we stay attentive and participate, it's not hard for us to fail it.
He did. For now. When the sh!t hits the fan, it will have to be strong enough to hold. There will be massive mis/disinformation campaigns, liars will promise easy way outs, there will be subversive and/or infiltration tactics used on democratic agencies. 1/2
2/2 We must be strong enough to hold firm, fight back with everything we've got. That's what I mean by... our democracy is vulnerable. We must rise to this, will we?
Where’s the ground breaking reporting of baselessly claiming the pilots were black and transgender? And that the wind shear was caused by a windmill? How are Canadians supposed to feel safe without such a robust and trustworthy media apparatus?
Oh dear God, don't give him any ideas! He'll change the name of the country next! Executive Order to change the name from "The United State of America" to "Trumplandia"
I haven't seen it yet but I am guessing that there were likely only 2 or 3 officials talking or reporting on the incident. In the US there would be at a min. 10 spokespeople from 10 different agencies all vying to speak.
Nor would we want to. Trump and his little trained minions are too confusing. Wouldn’t know if we were coming or going. Just that we’d be scapegoated eventually.
National Transportation Safety Board, they investigate aviation accidents among other things and make accident reports and data publicly available. I'm an aviation nerd and they are experts of the highest caliber.
Oh it is. It's awful. The current government is taking a wrecking ball to everything that once was good. But we also have to be mindful that lots of voters did not support this and tried to warn others. The nonvoters, MAGAs, current government, MSM, and supporting billionaire class are responsible.
Yeh. I was thinking the same when I watched it. It was actually a rational, coherent approach. So much better than some orange haired moron jumping to conclusions.
Just a thought. Tesla tapped as best stock to short. Shorting doesn't affect the stock. But if more selling than buying, the price goes down. But a large institution consolidating shares to short & unleashing all at once could drive the price down, provided the shares aren't bought at the same rate.
I’m in awe, especially knowing crews only have 90 seconds to evacuate a full airplane. Guaranteed none of the survivors cared if the crew members were part of the LGBTQ+ community.
the crews most important job and one that they would be happy to never have to do in their entire career
Same with the crew on a passenger ship or ferry - spend their lives doing mundane things like selling cans of coke and 1 day are responsible for evacuating 100s of people safely
I am so using that name for these dark times. This is not the USA, atm. It’s Trumplandia. That will be so much easier to explain when it’s all over and we write about it for posterity.
Trumplandia=deny, lay blame elsewhere, take credit when no credit is due. Fake it til you break it and run...because in the end they will run from all of us.
And, of course, he will blame windmills on Democrats.
He might blame the birds, as well.
You know, if some weren't protected species, then there would be less of them because libtards were not protecting the birds breeding grounds.
Being a lying narcissist means never having to say you are wrong.
Our federal government is far from perfect, but it largely makes decisions based on science and public interest, the way yours did until about 4 weeks ago.
You're right about that. A really nice, kind Canadian made long post on Twitter showing us how we can use the data & urgent healthcare issues from a Canadian website. Helped w anxeity. We've got a bad outbreak of bird flu, that's quite serious. 45 Adm doesn't address this all. 1 human death in LA.
I could probably scroll until I find him. I'll be happy to do that. But it will take me a while. Might be able to figure out a quicker way. But, my tech skills are lacking.
I was expecting to rely more on information put out by state agencies, it hadn’t really occurred to me yet that Canadian ones might also be good resources.
There is a great newsletter called Canada Healthwatch. Besides Canadian health news, there are pages for US and international topics. https://canadahealthwatch.ca/
Canadian Officials: Our condolences to all for living thru such a traumatic event. We will investigate the cause, provide regular updates, and work on an immediate solution so it doesn’t happen again.
US Officials: The black people did it. And the women. Also, Biden.
Unworthy of being the 51st state? (*sarcasm*) Wish I could move to Canada - they seem nice. and normal. They seem....normal. (where by normal I mean "sane")
No cause we’re busy over here. Banning together to make our country stronger 🇨🇦 while being threatened. You guys need to strike. All Americans. Non stop. You’re all letting this happen.
Well technically you voted for it... you weren't invaded, they were invited. Why would anyone else help when you're so hellbent on destruction. Not fair to the sane among you, but this is still America's mess.
No. No, we will not. We have our own issues to contend with because of the US. You need to deal with this crap and stop expecting others to "save you". Save yourselves. DO SOMETHING.
We are trying. Right now those protests take place during most people’s work hours (I can see why— the elected ones are likely to be working). I just hope people stay motivated.
It is the end of “an” American empire, but we do not yet know which one. Is it the last desperate gasp of systemic racism? The rule of the rich? Or is this From Now On?
Impossible to say without a thousand guillotines clanking out a sick beat to think by.
There are journalistic articles (in Canada) about the fall of the United States and the fact that the USA is falling into authoritarianism. European countries criticize Vance's support for the extreme right. Trump threatens security in Europe too, and not just in North America.
The reporters kept gouging to find out info for the next headline too and the officials were answering appropriately without starting conspiracy. Beautiful
Oh, I agree! No, it’s your Canada, not ours. I’m just pointing out if would backfire mightily, if Trump invaded. Canada wouldn’t go MAGA, the US would go liberal. And I voted for Kamala.
Please stop. I know you are joking but that type of talk is extremely disrespectful to my country’s sovereignty. Canadians are taking his threats seriously & these stupid jokes from Americans on the left are thoughtless & infuriating.
Aaron - please use your numbers to share this! Ontario is having an election. The man in the lead takes calls from Musk on the regular. Doug Ford CLAIMS to 'protect' Ontario. Not true! There's ample evidence but voters are working 3 jobs and voter apathy will win.

#DougtheThug
He fucking bowed to that Starlink deal. Angry at him for that shit.
He won't be getting my vote simply on that decision alone.
If he's going to give in to Musk and Trump, he's an enemy of Canada and Ontario!
Yeah. It's really been an eye-opener for me. And somewhere there, a line was crossed in the sand and I'm done with anyone or anything remotely conservative. 💙
The best way to assist them is to volunteer in your community. Is there a food bank of pantry? What about donating to help them where you live. Resilient communities will help everyone!
I wish I could. I'm dealing with some cancer issues now. I can't really speak, at least not without a pronounced lisp. My best efforts are on SM trying to get the word out. Bluesky friends are the best. 💙
He's already added countless billions to the deficit. But his lies are being spread around the world at the speed of light. He wants to be a global player. He thinks Musk will give him that. Look him up. You'll see. EM has contorted X to vilify his opponents. He's dirty and no one knows.
You've got your facts a little wrong. Pierre Poilievre is the Canadian Trump version, not so much Doug Ford.
Ford reinstated the Starlink deal, but Ford is all about lining his pockets and those of his rich friends.
He has stood up to Trump and told him Canada is not for sale.
He's not our enemy.
Truly, I don't think PP is nearly as much a threat as Ford. PP and his stupidity will catch up with him. Ford, comes across like a level-headed business man who will protect us from Trump, when he's in his pocket the whole time.
PP is a douche , but a dumb douche. Ford is calculating.
He has never stood up to Trump. It's posturing. A display. I think he's set his sights on Sussex and will squeeze PP out. PP is not attractive to western Canada, not like DF would be. THIS is why I want to spread the word. He's yet to place a single tariff (as far as I know). JT did tariffs. Not DF.
DF is taking credit for stuff that was done by the federal government. And it sickens me to know that he's pulling the wool over everyone's eyes. Total wolf in sheep's clothing.
DF is also running to avoid facing serious corruption charges.
Ford is calling the election because he's about to face consequences for his corrupt Greenbelt deal, and the Ontario Place debacle. He's as phony and corrupt as they come. He never even signed the standard ethics declaration EVERY PREMIER signs...basically saying, 'trust me bro'.
AND wasted over a half BILLION dollars getting booze into convenience stores because...? If he'd put that toward healthcare/homelessness/affordable housing, but no. AND then spent another hundred-some-odd millions just to get his booze-train in the station early before calling an election. Sheesh!!
Because employees at The Beer Store and LCBO have unions, and get paid considerably more than min wage people at grocery stores. And a lot of his friends like the Westons are cleaning up the beaucoup bux.
It's a disgrace no one knows this and that DF will steal another election with his tactics.
Ford is incompetent, corrupt and a liar who only cares about his PC donors. And who used the Trump tariffs as an excuse to call for an early election in Ontario in Winter. Willing to spend billions on a highway, a spa & a tunnel instead of investing in healthcare, education and affordable housing.
Because people who are working three jobs don't have time to stand in the cold, and think 'oh, I saw him on tv, he'll protect us from Trump' and there you have it voter apathy.
Don't get me started. 😂
I could write a book about how much I hate him for what he's done to my home and my life. My cancer is way worse than it should've been because of DF. I said as much in a tv interview about 15 minutes ago. Coming out of the grocery store.
And a total grifter.
Hopefully he'll be the last of the old white boys.
He just spoke and said, God bless the Westons. 🙄
The Westons were just adjudicated to pay tons of money after a bread price-fixing scandal. Galen Weston is in the thick of it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_price-fixing_in_Canada
On top of this he's moved all alcohol to corner stores. Why? So Weston (who owns President's Choice, Loblaws and Shoppers Drug Mart can sell it making hand over fist. Regulation? Nope. Employees at Beer Store and LCBO get paid way more that what Weston pays. No price drop though. 😡
Let's talk about helicopters. Instead of investing a few million in after school programs for at-risk youth, he opted to BUY (not lease) 5 helicopters to fight crime. Inmate population has increased after his 7 years in office. Maybe we wouldn't have that many carjackings if we could help kids.
Patriotism seems at an all time high. Use it against Ford. He uses patriotism as a pat on your heads while telling Musk and others he’ll do whatever they want once re-elected. Same with Poilevere
X has been working in Ford's favour. You can't get any traction for Bonnie. The centrists believe his bullshit and are tired of Libs because of Facebook. I've cut ties with friends who think it's funny to repost this garbage. I'm in tears. I may be dying because of his health cuts.
As a Canadian I can assure you it was the maple syrup gumming up the works. Seriously we are just wondering how it happened and waiting for the expert's report. Imagine that! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Yes. As a nation generally we don’t see the point of making scapegoats of our fellow citizens and rather examine and fix the real issues - t o g e t h e r.
Generally, we Canadians don't do that. The bombastic blame game is something you don't see often in our news, unless it's from a Conservative politician (who are generally MAGA's with a Canadian accent.)
We are not good candidates for Trumplandia so your gov should leave us be. We will always (under reasonable circumstances, as always)step up to help in your time of need. I’m sure Americans were not asked for a $$ prior to medical care after this all hands on deck event. A fortunate outcome👏👏
We're literally an election away from much the same, the CPC and the Purple people's party are both FROTHING AT THE MOUTH to do to Canada what Trump is doing to the USA.
#CanadianPolitics is balanced on the same knife edge.

Then yes.
We evaluate, question, determine cause, and go a step further and find ways to alleviate future crashes.
One of the great reasons to be Canadian.
Aaron, thank you for the truth!
Trump, Trump's administration, Musk, DOGE teens...
all immature sociopaths.
America.
Where are your ADULTS?
Great thanks to crew too.🇨🇦🇨🇦
Here the only time you hear “Thank you” is when 47 is asking for it as he never deserves it.
I await shitty Magats wailing about this.
There is no white knight riding in, it’s up to the people!
MAGA comics commentary where appropriate. 😉
Works for us 🇨🇦💪
I judge us by the majority.
In referring to majorities behavior is in no way ignoring the minority.

“Okay we need to act quickly lives are at stake here now was anyone anywhere in this situation black”
“What”
“Could be a person on the plane, air traffic controller,pilot”
“The starbucks the pilot went to prior has a black manager”
CNN: DEI influenced food to blame for crash
So much professionalism.
Buy Canadian Facts not Fox....

He has no honor!
Wait…he liked DEI so I guess he is to blame. ((Eye roll))
We respect the trauma and injuries people have experienced. It’s not a time for egocentric point scoring.
In fact, Canadian 🇨🇦 aviation investigators are some of the best in the world.
Unlike Dick-tRump Corrupt admin, They won’t be bother with investigations,
Just sweep it under the rug, Nothing happening here folks,
#47 wants American Ppl to die,
It is so sad to me, what is happing in the US, the crazy people in the White House are literally trying to crash this country
Americans will rise up maybe five maybe eight years from now. As in Hungary. Not good.
It’s more fitting given all the dumb fuckers who voted for mango mussolini.
Same with the crew on a passenger ship or ferry - spend their lives doing mundane things like selling cans of coke and 1 day are responsible for evacuating 100s of people safely

Take one step here and you'll see the rage you all invoked when you threatened (and continue threatening) your former allies with annexation.

The more shit they can blame on people they don't like, the better it is for them to get more people to hate what they don't understand.
