Remember Canadians, it is about boycotting American products! The EU and the UK are our trusted friends and allies and should not be forgotten. If you cannot buy a Canadian product please buy British, French, German, Scandinavian, Italian and so on! Let's build a stronger world together!

One of these things is not like the other.

As a patron commented on today's video, the US is now a few lines into "First They Came" skepchick.org/2025/03/trum...

Funny....All of a sudden, no one's performing arbitrary sex-change operations on unexpecting grade-schoolers anymore.

Krugman: Insanity at the top

Trump has declared economic war on Europe. To our democratic allies respond in the Canadian way - cancel trips, boycott bourbon and any American product. Let your purchases send a message to the oligarchs.

Senator Mark Kelly is a combat fighter pilot and Navy captain who bravely served his country.   Elon Musk is a multi-billionaire trying to dismantle the VA who called Kelly, a veteran who put his life on the line, a “traitor.”   Disgusting.

Trump’s North American Tariffs: Myth Vs. Fact theonion.com/trumps-...

People are changing the labels on Wayne G's wine: "a merlot that is sad and 2 faced" "as weak as the name-sakes moral fibre." There is a reason why Canadians dominate comedy - we are wickedly funny. And when push comes to shove we play for keeps (ie. Kharmalov's ankle). Sucks to be you Wayne.

Trumpty-Dumpty is a bull. The American economy is his china shop.

one of the things i truly believe is that a significant portion of this country is in the grip of a death cult

Your wallet shrinks, your 401(k) tanks, but Trump's first thought is to help Elon.

Trump replaces plane crashes with stock market crash

American markets are tanking because Donald and JD are determined to fight with key US markets. Bourbon companies were planning big expansion - that's all off the table. Canada and Europe are walking away. It ain't rocket science: don't make enemies of friends. apnews.com/article/tari...

I gasped.

Because cats.

#ICYMI "Queen’s has shown it does not care about the financial crisis that its students & workers are facing," said PSAC Ontario Vice-President Craig Reynolds after failed negotiations led to the #strike & current #picketing. #YGK #QueensU Details: www.kingstonist.com/news/2000-st...

The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. Nonetheless, holy shit. What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

JD Vance says Canada should spare him our "sob story" about being good allies. We sent so many young Canadians into Afghanistan to help the United States in THEIR war. A war THEY lost. We paid a huge price and will never forget the sacrifice. J. D. can go lie on his couch. Canada is #elbowsup

Is there a reason why Danielle Smith is traveling to Florida on taxpayers’ dime to participate in a far-right talk show that routinely has its content removed for hate speech? www.forbes.com/sites/antoni... #ableg

This development is a horrifying and further escalation of the very topic I wrote about yesterday evening: The Trump administration’s move from governmental changes to individual attacks focused on political opponents. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-test...

MAGA families shunning their relatives who are losing their jobs thanks to Trump & Co. Tell me it's not a cult.

Another good news story, just cuz. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Early results indicate that if you preface a Google query with "F*** off, Google AI" or similar, you won't see an AI-generated response. Sample size of this experiment is currently two queries, mind you.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxZA... Earlier this week, British lawmaker Graham Stuart raised the possibility that the president of the United States, Donald Trump, had been groomed by the Kremlin’s security services over a period of decades.

Rather than indulging in diplomatic theatre to try and convince a felon president who doesn't really care about fentanyl that Canada is serious about cracking down on crime we could be doing a bit more to protect vulnerable Canadians from foreign criminals. www.cbc.ca/news/ukraine...

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

This.

I'd like to bring this video to your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

Canada takes American booze off the shelves, and mocks Trump in the process. More of this please. 😂 www.youtube.com/shorts/tG0g4...
