The Starlink deal should never have happened. It should have been cancelled after the Nazi salute. It should have been cancelled when Trump started a tariff war. People need to ask Doug why the Starlink deal is still on. 416-745-2859 [email protected] 416-325-1941 [email protected] #OnPoli

Hello fellow #CanadaSky and #CanadianResisters! The account @sovereigncanada.bsky.social is now following many of us – THEY ARE NOT CANADIAN. They are a U.S. company (based in Virginia) trying to sell merchandise to us. Please report the account for their misleading handle, and grift.

A.I. is a tool of oppression & erasure. Please stop enriching oligarchs by using it for your Blue Resistance memes. Just draw stick figures & use alt-text.

No surprise since Herr Harper and his lackey Poilievre legislated the sale of Canadian media to the US. Google Postmedia ownership and holdings

New from @policyalternatives.ca: A piece by Cory Doctorow. Now that the U.S. has thrown out the terms of continental free trade, Canada should seize the moment and build less predatory alternatives to U.S. tech monopolies. #cdnpoli #CanadaUSTradeWar www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Dear #Ontario 🇨🇦 No penalties for ending the #Starlink contract. Don't let the Premier tell you otherwise... #BuyCanadian 🇨🇦

“A 2022 report by the CBC revealed that Pierre Poilievre had hired the team behind Canada Proud to ‘boost his messages online’ — an organization that specializes in anti-Trudeau rage-bait and whose sole mission is to defeat Justin Trudeau. Poilievre and the CPC’s chief strategy is distortion.”

Doug Ford does not protect Ontario. He gives away our money to Elon on overpriced Starlink deal, Canadian jobs and small businesses on American Staples deal, and Ontario Place to Austrian spa in a secret deal! Feb 27 let's #VoteFordOut #Onpoli 🗳️ #CanadaSky 🔗 youtu.be/oSrDK5dkJDg?si…

The world may be going to shit, but I never thought Saturday movie night would ever be this snuggly. ❤️ If these two can learn to love each other, maybe there’s hope for the rest of us?

I find myself on a Canadian Resistance StarterPack. Feeling the pressure to post way more intelligently. 🤪 There’s some cool others here, though: go.bsky.app/QsszZTX

The Starlink deal is back on in Ontario. (It was never “ripped up”!) As Musk’s disregard for diplomacy and human rights becomes increasingly obvious, and we see his unelected control of government in the U.S., Ontario needs to ACTUALLY rip up this deal. NOW. globalnews.ca/news/1099566...

Many people have heard that Doug Ford “ripped up” the Starlink deal with Eln Msk. Not many people have heard that the Starlink deal was back on mere hours after Doug’s blustery threat to rip it up. globalnews.ca/news/1099566... Flip Flop Ford strikes again. #OnPoli #CancelStarlink

Let’s be clear, Ford is no hero. He DID NOT cancel his best bud’s Starlink contract. He just blustered & threatened he would. It was all TALK when he probably already knew tariffs were being paused, cuz let’s face it, he’s a selfish crook who doesn’t care about 🇨🇦. globalnews.ca/news/1099566...

No they don’t. Canada and Mexico want none of this. They want the president of the United States to respect and abide by the trade treaty he negotiated with them - and not make up bogus pretexts for plunging us all into a gratuitous no win economic debacle.

The capitalists that own the media are the same class that will profit from this trade war. Always keep that in mind. Their purpose is not to inform you, but to shape your range of views.

Feeling a wee bit vindicated, with all the folks who have raised eyebrows about me refusing to have Twitter or Meta apps on my phone since time immemorial. The way these apps manipulate is only starting to become public knowledge. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/01/31/o...

Almost 20 years ago, a doctor on TV was asked, "Isn't 12 a little early for a kid to be deciding to transition?" And her response was, "It's old enough for them to decide that it's not worth living anymore if they can't." That was the only argument I ever needed to hear about gender affirming care.

When people wish me well in "retirement" I don't know what they are thinking. The political fight goes on. And I will be there as part of the resistance. This article lays out the road I have been on. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/01/28/n...

We're living through a time of major realignment. It's all changing and it's all happening. Every week is going to be a flood of events and events and events. Try to keep some perspective and remember, we can change things for the better, too. www.davidmoscrop.com/p/the-old-or...
