The CPC are not the Conservatives of the 70's. It's wild that people don't see that. They moved much further right when they absorbed the Reform party. And with Harper and his evangelical ideologies, they moved further still. It's no longer left vs. right. It's our own stabbing us in the back.

πŸ€” Do you think that Project 2025 folks are first going to make Americans suffer in order to incite them against Canada and all her riches?

With the falling of churches, especially Christian ones, this generation needs third spaces to connect. As a single person with no friends locally, it's been difficult to meet like-minded folks. Made me realize that's what churches did. Bring folks together. Then, quietly indoctrinate them. πŸš«βœοΈβœ‘οΈβ˜¦οΈπŸ•‰οΈ

Conservative Govs don't fund education because education leads to people who read. People who read learn. People who learn understand that the Cons steal our tax dollars and funnel them down to friends. Do you really think it costs $2800 per month to give ONE unhoused person a cot at the shelter?

Went to bed last night and it was -28. Woke up this morning to sunshine and -13. Feels like a Chinook at this point! La Nina should be over around mid-March. And then we can kiss the extra snow goodbye for another 4 years.😁

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ imports $7000 per person per year from πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ, while they import $440/US citizen of Canadian goods. If we buy just 10% less, that's 2.7 Billion gone from their economy. America, can you afford to lose Canadian buyers?

When you're inherently a 'good' person, it's shocking that others would intentionally do harm. When something happens that would be classified as 'evil', jaws drop. But the belief that most will do what's right keeps them safe at home. Plot twist: nowhere is safe from the 1%. #fightfacism

Can someone please explain to me why, in Alberta, our government is paying $100/night for a shelter bed, which works out to more than $2800/month, but we can't afford to give these people permanent housing? Something sure smells fishy. 🐠 #ABPoli #ABLeg #whereourtaxesgo

Quebec is getting hit hard! First with Amazon pulling out, and now the steel tariffs. The US might be trying to break them. But know this, Quebec is part of πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦! You are Canadians! And the rest of the Provinces are here for you!β™₯️ #wearegladyoustayedβ™₯οΈπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Are you trying to educate the friends and family that continue to spread misinformation and rhetoric? Are you speaking up when you hear something that is factually incorrect? We need to let people know that they are not voting for the fiscal Conservatives of the 70's. That party is long gone.

Scientific understanding that CO2 will affect climate is not new. What this article didn’t account for is the increasing pace of industrialization. Do we still emit 7 billion tons a year? Nope. Try 37. Five times the amount means 5x faster. A few centuries? Try 60ish years. And we’re ~50 in.

πŸ”₯ Hot Take πŸ”₯ Thank you to all the Americans who voted for Donald Trump. Because of him, Canadians have a stronger resolve to keep the Conservatives out of power. Without your sacrifice, we would have likely been in your situation. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Wordle 1,329 3/6 πŸŸ¨β¬›πŸŸ¨β¬›β¬› πŸŸ¨πŸŸ¨πŸŸ©β¬›β¬› 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Will be interesting to see how many know the word.

We will always say "Sorry" when we defeat you in battle. But what many don't understand is that means "we feel sorry for you". It's why there is a law in πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ stating that saying "sorry" is not an admission of guilt. It means different things depending on the situation. Like, sorry you F*d up.

What borders on stupidity? Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ and Mexico πŸ‡²πŸ‡½! Saw this on TT and bust a gut!🀣 TBH, we don't hate Americans, we hate the government you voted for. And are sad that you don't realize that you will suffer more than any other country. Tariffs will hurt us, but they will hurt you more.😒

The people who will be least affected by tariffs are the ones who were already struggling. Been thrifting everything I need for years. Or buying dollar store stuff. Spent 2 hours a day on the bus to and from work to save on fuel and insurance. Small changes can lead to big savings. πŸ₯°πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

For those πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ who want to pay for privatized health care; you certainly must have the means to travel to get it. But privatizing health care for all πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ will lead to those who cannot afford to pay being forced to wait for care, which can lead to worsening outcomes and likely πŸ’€ for some. Free means Free.

With 25% tariffs, πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ will be forced to sell to China. Or we open more trade with Russia and India. Either way, the Fascists are winning. Tboi has screwed us. And Ford calling an election is a smokescreen so he doesn't have to follow through on his threat to cut power! Ontario, I hope you can see it!

It's been a year since I sold my property. A vengeful neighbor tried to make me take down a shed that was on the RPR. I had to pay for an additional permit as the final one wasn't submitted by the builder (before my time). Today I got a letter from the city that I'll get that permit refunded! Win!

Hey Alberta, I think my feed is curated enough to ask this question: When was the last time you voted for a Conservative and what was your tipping point for you to move away from the party? Provincially or Federally.

😱 Learning about China makes me wish we were ruled under communism. Did you know that besides free education (+low cost University), free healthcare, and no property taxes, that they also do not tax income under $500K (USD), and for artists it increases to 1.2M/yr!?! We have been lied to.😒

If with the stroke of a pen 4 years of governance can be erased; sorry, but you already have a fascist oligarchy. And now House Bill 1484 in Mississippi... History repeating itself.

The US has announced that there are only 2 genders... and both of them are female! Congrats to the first female POTUS!

The comment section on YouTube is frightening. The sheer amount of people who felt the need to congratulate the US on their backward gender policy has angry tears running down my face. Gender is a construct. And sex is a spectrum. πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ«Ά

Wait. Wait. Wait. If tariffs are bad for the American people who will really be paying for them with a higher cost of goods, wouldn't counter-tariffs be paid for by Canadian Consumers? Let America eat itself alive. We can trade with China and the US can stop building weapons with our steel.
