Respectfully, I have to disagree with Mr. Trudeau. It is painfully obvious that Donald is not “a very smart guy”.

Trump is always direct and crude.
Our leaders must forget their treasured decorum and be just as direct but with strength, finesse and savvy in place of crudeness.

I'm upset that we in the EU are not standing with our Canadian friends 🇨🇦 now when they are attacked.

Why are we letting the Magats pick us off one by one?

The free world needs to form an alliance against the US.

Canada doesn’t often have to choose the lesser of evils in our country, because most of our politicians are decent people who genuinely want to serve us.

canamvet.bsky.social•17 hours ago

He is out. Just waiting for the liberals to hold their party election for new leader of the party. Trudeau resigned and it looks like Mark Carney will be the new PM and party leader.

realstuartwhyte.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Whilst it's true Trudeau will no longer be Canadian PM in some days, I don't believe he is exercising a latitude which his successor may not enjoy.
Rather he is providing a greater platform from which the next PM can sustain a strong defence of national (& where applicable international) interests.

fiverdrive.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I don't think JT would have spoken any differently even if he wasn't about to resign the leadership of the governing Liberal Party.

Like him or not, I don't think anybody honest can argue that he's not passionate about Canada and defending its interests.

s373n.bsky.social•18 hours ago

HE hit the nail on the head for America:
“Your government chose to do this to you.”

How much more self-sabotaging can America do unto itself?

Trump just made Trudeau a national hero

clarajeffery.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Yup, be interested to see if/how much his polling has gone up in last few weeks.

astill73.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I’m not sure any of our pollsters have been tracking Trudeau’s support or popularity as he announced his intention to resign not that long ago.

However, there has been a dramatic shift in party support. I’ve never seen anything like it in Canada.

338 is here on Bluesky.

astill73.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Again, this is only federal party voting intentions, not leader. But you can see where the shift occurs.

blair4347.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Unfortujnately, some of that shift to the Liberals comes at the expense of the NDP. I can see why voters are doing this, but NDP with balance of power is a good thing. Thanks to that, we now have a national dental care plan. Not sure now what's happening with national pharmacare.

astill73.bsky.social•17 hours ago

There is polling being done on which Liberal leadership candidate polls better against the federal Conservatives. This one shows a genetic Liberal versus conservative option compared to a Mark Carney led Liberal party versus Conservatives.

astill73.bsky.social•17 hours ago

This is the last one I currently have. I think this is also from 338. You can see every poll done plotted out on the graph. The shift and change are dramatic.

Reminds be about the frog and the scorpion. Half way across the river the frog is stung by a scorpion he is giving a ride across. The frog asks the scorpion "Why on earth did you do that, we will both die!". "Because it is what I do!" Trump is a scorpion and he will go down doing what he does.

Our PM did not use “harsh language”. And he knows he’s dealing with a malignant narcissist that’s why he parroted “the smart man” bit, because no one here in Canada is blind to just how dumb trump is.

The more accurate SOTU address.

ubermenchies.bsky.social•16 hours ago

It's disgusting. Trump has made it clear that this isn't about anything Canada or Mexico did or didn't do, it straight-up economic warfare in an attempt to force companies to move manufacturing from there to the US. He said in plain English that that's the only thing that would stop the tariffs.

canericanisms.bsky.social•16 hours ago

So, basically, it’s another mob-style shakedown. This is apparently all Trump knows to do. Shake down those people, or countries, in order to get his way since he has absolutely ZERO diplomatic, nor negotiating, skill all the while angering allies and declaring how “strong” he is for America.

johnignatius56.bsky.social•11 hours ago

But that doesn't explain the tariffs on agriculture, oil etc. I've stopped trying to figure out the "true" reason because there isn't any.

Canada is much less divided than the US. In fact since the US attack our unity has strengthened. The orange turd, GOP, weak Democrats and red states are tearing the US apart. We are in a position of strength, don't be fooled.

If the Republicans are so concerned about Fentanyl(which I agree is not the real reason for tariffs), they wouldn't be cutting Medicaid that provides addiction treatment services. Have to work on demand as well as supply.

marysue443.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Republicans are concerned about killing poor people. Cutting off medicine is just one way to do it.
