I think this may signal a shift in CPC messaging...

Ooh, I like this. This Saturday is Feb 15th--Flag Day. I'll dig out my flag and put it up. I hope you'll do the same.

"Joe Clark, Kim Campbell, Jean Chrétien, Paul Martin and Stephen Harper have jointly written an open letter, telling Canadians to "show the flag as never before" as the country contends with "threats and insults from Donald Trump."

Personal goal: I want to see sooooo many flags on February 15th 2025 that in the future whenever I think of Flag Day it is 2025 that comes to mind first, and not 1996 (aka the Shawinigan Handshake).

So Moe - will you show us your flag? Maybe we need to show him our Canadian flags at the Sask leg Saturday!

Mr Harper's words conflict with Mr Harper's other words and much of what he's been up to for the past decade.

He's trying to shore up CPC polls, I think.

I don't give a flying F about polls.

geramisepehr.bsky.social•11 days ago

I understand. I just don't think he's being very genuine.

Being annexed by the US would also mean impoverishment - from healthcare bankruptcies, gun violence, criminalized pregnancy care, lower life expectancy, higher incarceration rates, unaffordable college, no parental leave, not to mention the remaining social safety net currently being dismantled.

When it comes to trump, you find yourself agreeing with all sorts of people that you never would have before. It's a little unsettling.
