Shout out to @MeidasTouch and MP Charlie Angus.
Shout out to Canada and other countries who are NOT giving up on American Citizens.
It's like someone put a shock collar on us and we are trying to find our adrenaline to rise above the pain.
People talk tough, but many are scared right now.
This area is my riding! Had to miss the events but was happy to see a good turn out at all the locations Charlie visited :) The incumbent NDP MP in our Courtney-Alberni riding is also fantastic.
I’m from the pnw and have been incredibly lucky to visit/travel around Vancouver Island, this makes me so happy! I also experienced/loved/will always crave the delicious Nanaimo bars I had there :) also the fresh fish and chips. The people I encountered everywhere were the loveliest, best people.
I came here to say exactly the same thing! We’re from the UK and our holiday on VI last year was amazing! Wonderful people, places(and yes - food 😋). Good luck Canada (and sane US) friends - we’re rooting for you! ❤️
Get Canadians to chant “I dare trump to invade Canada!” The allies of Canada will dump their bonds and plunge the US into a DEPRESSION before he can finish his threats to our northern neighbors. Europe and Japan will happily help.
Thank you Canada for Operation Yellow Ribbon on 9/11 and for taking care of many of the air travelers who were impacted by the quarantine of US airspace on that terrible day.
Cannot believe how many Canadians are being fooled by Carney into not realizing this is just another Trudeau party with a god damn banker in charge. Seriously? How many of you are stupid enough to TRUST A
BANKER😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My billionaire relative, Trump supporter, is now hating on Trump, because he's costing them money. That's been the whole problem. These people were all right with other people being ruined, but now they're feeling the pain, it's an emergency! I'm a nice guy, but even relatives need to own their crap
Shout out to Meidas. I remember when you were young :-)
You elevated my voice then, now you are speaking to a louder audience. The size of the crowd in Canada is not what you see with a camera. Multiply it by ten.
So many Americans are there with you in spirit!
We didn’t want this break up most of us anyway, and we’re beginning to fight back and remove this regime of criminals and sex offenders.
You are all spectacular✨️
You take my breath away✨️

Charlie is no longer an MP. He chose not to run in the most crucial election of my lifetime. But he's getting lots of press from you so his post-politics media career is off to a flying start. BTW - this is a man who helped destroy a charity that gave Canadian students/youth jobs.
Now just think, if you put in the same effort in Europe that you put into Canada, you would have cheering crowds all over 744,000 MILLION ppl in Europe. Interview European Journalists
Do not give this guy too much praise
He teamed up with #PP to destroy a beloved charity all because they were jealous of PM Trudeau
He better be resigning
We need MeidasTouch on SiriusXM. The majority of Canadians would tune in during our long drives while supporting Mark Carney taking on Tя☭mps pick Pierre Poilievre.
I love Vancouver Island, such a beautiful and magical place, where the people are warm and friendly. I'm glad they're organizing and know who Ben/Medias Touch is. Elbows up!
❤️ 🇨🇦 ❤️
Part of what I hope folks from other areas realize is that this region does NOT have a big population & Vancouver Island is BIG! It’s similar in size to Taiwan or Belgium.
This crowd is a pretty impressive showing for the location. Well done VI folks for showing up for 🇨🇦!! ❤️❤️❤️
For extensive coverage of the protest or just plain truthful news reporting, check out MTN Meidas Touch Network. Its all the stuff Corporate media doesn't want you to see.
Truth.
My kids and I saw 5 (Bald Eagles) just this week in Alberta as well. Strange enough, the Canada Goose and the Bald Eagle are North American, and they don't seem to care about nationalism. 💙
I remember when I lived on Van Isle, and they were absolutely everywhere.
And I appreciate having our leaders included in their coverage. They don’t talk about Jagmeet much but still
They know who’s who and don’t talk about our country like it’s full of quaint people they just discovered some unknown culture.
YES, AMERICA IS HATED & OSTRACIZED & MAGA you are too illiterate to realize that this is a really bad thing BUT YOU DID THIS -is America great yet? How about groceries - ya know - bags with different things in them? Beautiful word - can you still afford them or has America gotten too great for that?
I'm American & have ALWAYS had Canadians as neighbors. I'll never forget the "maple" cookies. They're our neighbors you fkn idiot. Sorry neighbor for having a lame ass bald president.
I'm not defending Angus, but try telling the full story, yeah?
The entire thing was an ethics scandal - including a lot of lying from ministers, the PM, and WE Canada, who obfuscated their connection to the Trudeaus. Aren't we fighting a culture of lies?
Easy there, friend. He lied by omission by not recusing himself from cabinet talks on the issue. His words, not mine.
No one said that it was malicious. The man is a human being who forgets things, makes mistakes, and takes a shit like the rest of us. I happen to be a fan.
I know precisely what I wrote in my first post. I'm sorry if you have big feelings about this, but facts are facts. If you don't like it, don't post crap articles from biased sources like some sort of gotcha, and not expect someone to fact-check you.
First Nation's I like that. Here, they tried to exterminate us. Now, they're trying to drag the people across the southern border. Like their European diaspora weren't the invaders. Thieving gentry land barons out of Europe.
Please help us. We're your friend and neighbor who have some sort of insane disease that has turned us into a horrible, unrecognizable zombie. We're trying to fight it, but it's infected us for a second time since the initial onslaught. Please don't give up on us.
I can appreciate Charlie Angus's Resistance Tour and its messaging but the Jagmeet Singh-led NDP polls at 8% in Canada. Our man for this moment is our Liberal leader Mark Carney. I wonder if Charlie knows this...?
Vancouver island where he slammed it out is highly contested for conservatives and we are strategic voting. The liberal candidate doesn’t have a presence. I’m not voting for jag, I’m voting for a seat against the conservatives.
I want mark carney as my PM.
He does, and Charlie is actually stepping away from politics, he’s not running in this election. He likes Carney, but Canada is the only party he truly supports now.
@charlieangus104.bsky.social Is there somewhere we can see where you're doing events and when? My parents would have come to see you in Cumberland but they found out too late. I'd hate to miss you if you're going to be in my area 😭
Canadians don't need a visa to travel to the United States, but we can apparently be kidnapped at the border at the discretion of individual border agents, so travel is not worth the hassle.
From the normal people in the US: We support what you’re doing 💯 and we are resisting in every way we can, at least me and my people are. It’s an f’ed up situation. Definitely don’t follow in our footsteps, not recommended.
Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no-no
And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
So…. Every once in awhile I’ve posted something wondering where all the celebrities are when it comes to these rallies.
And waddayano up pops good ol’ Winnipeg boy Neil Young 😊🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
This all brings back horrible memories of Americans fleeing to Canada to avoid dying in a war against a country we now buy shirts from! Why does it have to be so fucking cold there?
Yes, but how huge was the crowd? The hugest ever? Massively huge? We Canadians owe Charlie a huge debt of gratitude for his unwavering love of this country and the people in it. Elbows Up!🇨🇦
My Dear Canada Friends I hope one day when this whole Trump Regime is All Over We can Be Trading Partners Again And Get Back the Relationships that Trump Destroyed in America the past 3 Months We Stand with you Canada Elbows Up! 🇨🇦💪💪💪
Who knows ... maybe if Americans attempt entering Canada in the summer months, Canada will return a favor -- simply abduct and detain them without process, then deport them. Check papers closely. Don't let red-state fascist trash hunt or fish up there.
Just there-actually attended Parliament hearing regarding environmental protocols & the US.
ELBOWS UP signs EVERYWHERE- t-shirts, hats, streets, bridges, stores, light posts, ferries, cars, yards, etc.
Nicest people-didn't hold it against us that we were Americans-they offered to adopt (save) us!
My dark joke for the day. Canadians aren't afraid of an American invasion, it's how to feed all those prisoners who surrendered as soon as they crossed the border.
That's actually a fairly good sized crowd for any politician to receive within Canada. Cdns have never been as hyperpartisan nor entralled by any politician as Americans are; that's why people of all different political pursuasians can easily remain strong friends for decades.
Definitely more divergent voices that can gain a seat at the parliamentary table but throughout history, only Liberals or Conservatives have ever ruled federally. Sometimes it's as a majority government while other times as a minority coalition government requiring even greater compromises.

Maybe not.
Elbows Up! 🇨🇦
Canada Strong! 🇨🇦
Charlie is doing great Charlie work 👍🇨🇦❣️
It's an expression.
Fighting the good fight.
I literally love Canada, most importantly the people. Had business from Nanaimo, B.C., to Cornwall, Ontario & many parts in between.
Many beautiful places, none more beautiful than where you live.

Do better.

I agree that Minister Bardish Chagger messes up and it cost her a cabinet job.
Don’t ever come onto my thread and make accusations against PM Trudeau. 🪶😡
No one said that it was malicious. The man is a human being who forgets things, makes mistakes, and takes a shit like the rest of us. I happen to be a fan.
Grow up. This is what we're fighting against.
I want mark carney as my PM.
Look at the last four lines of our National Anthem : 🇨🇦
It says it all.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
