Vancouver municipal by-election day! Voting accomplished!

"Comply and be forthcoming in all interactions with border authorities. If you are denied entry, you could be detained while awaiting deportation,” reads the advisory. The government included a guide if, in the worst-case scenario, you do get detained. Just don't go. dailyhive.com/canada/canad...

Hands off our social security Hands off our schools Hands off our Nat'l parks Hands off our veterans Hands off our cancer research Hands off our farms Hands off our firefighters Hands off our due process Hands off our librarians Hands off our democracy Hands off our kids HandsOff2025.com

No wonder the CONservatives are afraid of fact checking. This is truly a new low, even for them. #CanadaSky #NeverPolievre #MakeLyingWrongAgain

Wait for it 😂 Supporter yells out “Lead us big daddy” 😂🍁💪🏻 #MarkCarney #FederalElection #Canada #cdnpoli #LiberalParty

Poilievre team is now shoving reporters trying to cover this election. This is not what a democracy does. We cannot let MAGA take Canada #NeverPoilievre #Cndpoli #CanadaSky

Yes, apparently nothing is more triggering for the Conservatives than a woman talking about... facts. #BoycottCTV #NeverPolievre

I am disgusted with CTV's cowardice. They have lost all credibility with this move, and Canadians should not be turning to them as a trusted news source in the future. #BoycottCTV

We are only three months into the Trump regime. We need to speak up. This is happening on our watch.

I've written to Elections Canada *twice* asking them to demand algorithmic transparency on X during the election. Of course they never replied, and now they've issued a statement saying they're 'satisfied' with the measures being taken to prevent the spread of misinfo. WTF! Please sign.

Seriously, why would any Canadian want Canada to become part of the US? 🤔 #Cdnpoli 🇨🇦🌻

Love the idea of making it a dance party! #TeslaTakedown

Canadian NDP MP Charlie Angus 🇨🇦 - "I think there’s something deeper that Canadians are really focusing on right now—watching our nearest neighbor slip into totalitarianism." #cdnpoli

Great #TeslaTakedown protest in Kitsilano today! Lots of friendly honks from passing cars (including Teslas, haha) and lots of good vibes. #ElbowsUp

Yeah, let's do this. #TeslaTakedown #ElbowsUp

Canada will be the hero. To its citizens. To its ally’s. And to the world. Democracy. Sovereignty. Peace. Equality. Freedom. Courage. We don’t bow We don’t break We stand. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

Wow. Yeah, that sums it up perfectly.

When people say 'politics is too divisive now,' what they really mean is 'I was more comfortable when certain groups suffered quietly.'

Tesla sales are down over 70% in Australia. The Aussies understood the assignment. 🍿

If your plan is to keep your head down and hope it goes away, I can show you all of human history why it won’t work. If it’s to capitulate and hope they ignore you, I can show you thousands of Trumpers who’ve already lost their jobs & savings. Fighting back isn’t an option. It’s the only option.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

#NeverPollievre

I’ve seen two of these billboards so far in metro Detroi, brought to you by the Canadian government! Well played Canada! 🇨🇦💙

Barf. What a tool. #NeverPollievre

The orange dictator has been making noises about deporting US citizens who dare speak out against Tesla. Yes - a car company. Let's stand in solidarity by exercising our Charter rights! #TeslaTakedown on Sunday, March 30 at Strathcona Park, 1pm. Tesla isn't welcome here in #EastVan - or anywhere!

Your village is being threatened by invaders. You unite behind a strong leader with a plan who talks and acts tough. Then a guy who's supposed to be on your side runs to the front and tells you that you are weak and it's your fault because you're stupid. #NeverPoilievre 🇨🇦

Sign and share! There is obviously a reason #Pollievre is the only Canadian federal candidate refusing to get top secret security clearance befor the election. What's he so afraid of us knowing? #StandUpForCanada #NeverPollievre

Here is footage at the US consulate where Toronto police told us we aren't allowed to stand on our own sidewalks because it offends the American state. These are our streets. This is our country. Never 51st. #elbowsup www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Tk...

Yep. Don't be complacent! Too much is at stake. Watch the numbers in your riding (you can do this at 338Canada.com) and vote strategically for whichever party has the best chance of defeating *your* local Conservative candidate - even if it’s not the party you'd normally prefer. #NeverPollievre

What kind of world do we want to leave for our children and grandchildren? I think about this everyday.

Looks hopeful. (As usual, Alberta seems to be a lost cause.)

We're on the news! Very nice coverage of Monday night's protest in Vancouver. #TrueNorthHQ #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦 🍁 💖

Yesterday went to the demonstration at the US Embassy downtown, showing solidarity with Americans who are fighting the fascist takeover of their country. Lots of good vibes, both from our group and from passing cars. Even a few Tesla drivers honked! Many thanks to the organizers!

OMG new episode! I love this podcast so much, can't wait to dive in. #ElbowsUp #podcast
