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

(Nos)histoire est une épopée Des plus brillants exploits.

Dear Winter. It's over. Our relationship is frozen and I need a new warmer season. There is nothing you can do to thaw my feelings about you. I am ready to spring into a new season. Go away.

King? WTAF. Sorry USA, we have one. You are in a different place.

Hope for the future.

Psssst Donald. Just because our flag colours are red and white doesn't make us maga. #canada

Happy Flag Day. The 11 points on the maple leaf are for the 10 provinces and the National Government. The red borders refer to our motto "From Sea to Sea"

Shame.

Let's be very clear. We are boycotting the US. Not just the states that voted for the clown. It's all in. Do better. #boycottUSA

This is Fort Henry. It stands in the harbour in Kingston Ontario. It was built by Canadian soldiers to help deter attacks from the US after the Revolution. My 4x great grandfather Sgt Joseph Franklin was a master mason who was key in building the fort. Prepared then. Prepared now. Canada Always

Pretty much what I have been thinking. Pete McMartin of the Vancouver Sun captures what most Canadians are feeling right now. Farewall “My American Cousin”. “Goodbye, America. Google Pete McMartin Vancouver Sun to read the rest. Bluesky is not the best place for long quotes

Picture 1: yet another blizzard 1.5 feet on the driveway. Picture 2: when snowbound bake bread.

Mark Carney is the best answer to Poilievre. And is the leader Canada deserves.

nice desk mr. president

Prediction: after the mid-term elections #45/47 will collect more impeachments to add to his record breaking total. Unless obesity and dementia remove him from office. His first two weeks point to an early exit one way or another.

Gotta love the math. Just 2 with backbones

Ok. Gonna attract the haters but... Let's put together a Liberal/NDP/Green coalition. Call it the Canada Party. Mark Carney as PM. Singh and May in the cabinet. Charlie Angus as Clerk of the Privy Council. Poilievre as janitor. We need a strong showing to face the next 4 years. Proudly Canadian

Canadians used to joke that we were a mouse beside an elephant. Then comparisons got darker - living above a meth lab. Now we understand we live next to a gangster regime. But Canadians won't bend. The resistance is coming from ordinary folk. Please read and share. open.substack.com/pub/charliea...

The tariffs are paused: The boycott is on! Read those labels!!!🇨🇦

The mouth to our south has caved. For 30 days. We on the other hand have learned that he is not to be trusted. We🇨🇦will not cave. We will buy nothing from the US for the next 4 years. And our education system works. We can read labels. Canada: we stand on guard for thee.

My dad and my uncle Pat: both of them fought the Nazis. We are not going to allow our neighbors to push us around. #releasethegeese (Dad in uniform)

Mon pays, ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver Canada is ready and able to survive without the USA. We are a winter people. We are always prepared. The mouth to our south has brought you to this. Sorry not sorry. Canada the true North strong and free.

Dear Kentucky Spirit Distilleries Your biggest customer has a brief message. Cancel ALL our open orders. As of Monday most of your products will be removed from the shelves in government run liquor stores coast to coast True North strong and (bourbon) free.

We stand on guard for thee.

Je suis fièrement Canadien. Canada: the true North strong and free.

I am going to miss good Kentucky Bourbon. Fortunately Ireland, Scotland and Canada are well able to fill the niche. You can tariff and we can boycott.

In 1900 my Irish grandfather landed in New York and was legally admitted to the US. He spent the next 5 years teaching the Irish language at the Christian brothers school in Harlem. In 1905 he seized upon a Canadian government program and moved to Saskatchewan and established a farmstead...

Me too.

Here's an annoying fishing scam. Phone rings: message claiming to be Amazon customer service. About my recent order where they charged $750 to my card on file. Wanted me to enter my card info for more details. I made no such order. My card emails me for every purchase. Watch out for this.

Well that peace did not last very long.
