Donald Trump’s petty threats are beneath the Office of the President. Governor Janet Mills embodies servant leadership. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

CBC trying to explain how a "conversation" about whether Canada has a right to exist as a nation will be good because they have asked an American DJ to co-host. Like asking Ukraine to join a "conversation" with Russia about their borders. But don't worry it will be done with "care."

This is even worst than I expected! #canlab

Canadians don't boast about our beautiful nation. We don't tend to wave the flag. But when Trump tell us that we don't have a right to exist as a nation every Canadian must make a choice - VIMY or VICHY. I know where I stand. Canadians never give ground in the face of tyranny. #strongasfuck

A petition, sponsored by @charlieangus104.bsky.social, to have Muskolini's Canadian citizenship and passport revoked is one of the best ideas I've seen in weeks. #cdnpoli #strongasfuck #strongandfree www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

The CBC does dumb stunts like this and they wonder why people are like "defund CBC". You tickle-brain morons. #strongandfree

Now that the ER issues are starting to get closer and closer to Vancouver, we'll start to see REAL change across the province and not just "we're trying". #bcpoli

This is the new USA, Imperialism for everyone.

Absolutely terrible news. Municipalities in a large metro area usually have their own local stories drowned out by the "core" community. To see Burnaby, NewWest, and the Tri-Cities lose their newspapers is extremely sad. www.newwestrecord.ca/local-news/b...

Accurate.

Basic biology eludes her.

The politics of spite are alive and well in Donald Trump's Washington. This compelling piece from The Big Picture explores how the MAGA Republican Party has transformed obstruction into an electoral strategy and what Democrats can do to counter this trend.

Talk about Putin on airs.

A new @carrietait.bsky.social & @alannasmith.bsky.social story reveals that Alberta's Turkish meds importer had stakes in proposed private surgery co's tied up in AHS ex-CEO's allegations. So much in here: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

So many truckers these days are wreckless drivers. The good ones are becoming few and far between. #bchwy1 #bcpoli

No we ain't going anywhere. But if they need some players to help get them back on their feet after tackling Team Canada we might be willing to help. Maybe.

because we’re good sports the US can keep Gretzky. no really. we insist.

Dear Premier Trump:

51st STATE THIS, YOU YANKEE IMPERIALIST SHITS!!!!!!

Best Jersey ever. #Canpoli #Canada #Hockey

I'd rather be dead than a Yank

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Given the situation between 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸 and the lack of a PM with a current mandate to conceive & enact policies on the fly in a dynamic and volatile situation - I propose we gather all surviving PM's & create a formal advisory council to help us get through the 💩 show. nationalpost.com/opinion/step...

Whoever made this morning's coffee at the office put a bit of extra stank on it, so I was unable to distinguish the earthquake from what I assume were regular ol' java jitters.

PEI - Premier Dennis King says he's resigning effective tomorrow Reportedly King was already planning to resign, but he thinks Trump is going to be too difficult to deal with, so that accelerated his timeline on resigning

Seems about right. 😆

"Private logging is not subject to annual allowable cut, stumpage fees or restoration measures that logging on Crown land is. The Private Managed Forest Land Act regulates private logging, and critics like Petryshen say it lacks environmental protections."

A small win in the fight against coal in Alberta: we and the @albertawilderness.bsky.social applied to participate in the AER's hearing for Summit Coal Inc.'s Mine 14 project - and we were successful!🎉 As a result the company has requested to pause the process to consult with its investors ℹ️

When you can get Mike Pence and Bernie Sanders to agree and align against you on the same issue at the same time, you are WAY offside in your beliefs. Trump is a monster
