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

Who in their right mind would think THIS is a good idea? There is no debate. We ARE a free nation. Next steps are worth discussing, but our right to exist as a nation is NOT in question!

At the NATO meeting a loud US republican saw my CDN flag pin on my lapel and reached for it saying, "Hey Canada." I stopped him. "Don't touch the Canadian flag." "Just joking," he said. "You'll die before you touch our flag," I said, "not joking." He scrambled out of there. #notfuckingaround

Since Jan 6 our world has turned upside down. Canada is under threat like never before. There are still 8 months left in this parliament. We can put aside our fights and come together for Canada. These are my thoughts on how normal politics is no more. charlieangus.substack.com/p/no-return-...

Charlie has no more Fuks to give! Canada needs more politicians to grow a spine & start barking back loudly to this orange menace to society! Canadians despise Bullies!

Canadians (not just NDPers!): If you're not following @charlieangus104.bsky.social, you're missing out on some highly insightful, inspiring and wise commentary

By the way, here’s a gift link to Lloyd Axworthy’s column that I think every Canadian should read. (Americans too. He was our Foreign Minister under PM Jean Chrétien.) “This should serve as a wake-up call for Canada. Ukraine’s struggle shows the dangers of underestimating authoritarian threats…”

Canadians need to get real about what the potential prospect of war means: •Decreased buying power for EVERYTHING •Blockades may prevent us from receiving imports (including foods, medicines) •Power, internet, etc may all be compromised & unstable Let alone financial dangers & personal safety.

"It would be missing the point entirely to fight Trump’s unhinged behaviour with more unhinged behaviour. Trashing our environment, making greenhouse gas emissions worse, and sparking new conflicts in the courts..." vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e... #bcpoli #climatecrisis

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

Unacceptable behaviour from the CBC. They need to stop normalizing the invasion and destruction of Canada. There is no discussion. This isn’t a proposal or comment but an illegal threat with dire consequences.

Elon Musk is a bandit. And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him. Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine. Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck." No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do. Slava Ukraini

Don’t be a nice person…

Bad news for journalism is bad news for democracy.

I think we SHOULD increase our military spending.... To defend our borders from the American fascists next door.

Disturbing. I guess they couldn't think of anything original so Ken was like let's just redo the late 1800s.

Interesting and informative thread.

Did anyone just feel that???

An Indigenous organization's building in northeastern British Columbia was recently targeted with racist graffiti. Now, B.C.'s Indigenous Relations minister and the City of Fort St. John are denouncing the vandalism.

“The MAGA cancer has been growing within Canada for years, aided by a Conservative Party whose ideology is dominated by American-funded libertarian think tanks that traffic in disinformation.”

We have a new great one. And this one is way way better.

This is the biggest Canada/Russia game since the 72 Challenge Series. 🇨🇦 🇷🇺 🇺🇸

It's moments like these that we realize we are all hockey fans. We come by it naturally 🍁

The greatest goal he ever scored. Won the country's ❤️

The polluted air + 💧, earthquakes + health impacts devastating the quality of life + safety of northern BC families to feed the natural gas + #LNG industry would be wholly unacceptable in the Lower Mainland. Important Ben Parfitt piece @thetyee.ca. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025... @cape-acme.bsky.social

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

"Brazil’s prosecutor-general on Tuesday formally charged former President Jair Bolsonaro with attempting a coup to stay in office after his 2022 election defeat, in a plot that included a plan to poison his successor and current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and kill a Supreme Court judge."

Great news!!

Monday was another historic milestone for self-determination of the #Haida Nation. The Big Tide Haida Title Lands Agreement affirms that the Haida have Aboriginal title over all of the islands' lands, beds of freshwater bodies, and foreshores to the low-tide mark #bcpoli #cdnpoli

The Earthquake Canada website lists all four recent earthquakes as "suspected industry-related" events — in other words, related to fracking in the area. But yes, by all means, let's build more pipelines and up LNG production 😒 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I'm starting to think DEI may have been the only reason so many planes stayed in the sky...

PODCAST up: shorturl.at/dBB3W Greater Vancouver is holding a special meeting to discuss budget cuts that could wipe out their climate action plan. Ashley Zarbatany from Dogwood raises the alarm @dogwoodbc.bsky.social @ashleyzarbatany.bsky.social @sethdklein.bsky.social @sierraclubbc.bsky.social

Canadian right-wing climate deniers and groups are in attendance at the London conference, which is bringing together conservatives from all over the world. The conference seeks to "re-lay the foundations of civilization." www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/17/n...

Well, the most amusing news this morning is certainly learning about the Shawinigan Handshake on this notable day.

What a commie.
