That USA chant after the Canadian goal was a little weaker. Let’s get one more. 🇨🇦

Well, the Americans won the anthem game. Hopefully that’s it. 🇨🇦

“We need a government that spends less and invests more. And one economy, not thirteen.” @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social fills the house in the hammer.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

I love this

Massive shift towards the Liberals in latest Léger poll, most notably in British Columbia. Gap was CPC+35 on January 12, now is CPC+8. Plus, Liberals in front in ATL & QC, and significant tightening in ON (from CPC+23 → CPC+12) 338canada.com/20250209-leg...

If this were Putin talking about Latvia, or Xi talking about Vietnam, there would be statements of condemnation from international organizations… at this point, the silence is more than awkward…

“The only way to get to the bottom of this is through another full investigation under the Public Inquiries Act.” Tommy Douglas is turning in his grave.

Build a business with government handouts. And then pay no taxes. #Riseup

Couldn’t agree more. With our energy and mineral resources, we have leverage, to say nothing of our humane approach to governance. Vive le Canada! 🇨🇦

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Geography has made us neighbours. History has made us friends. Economics have made us partners. Necessity has made us allies. JFK, 1962 63 years later, Putin (Trump) has divided us. Resist. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 youtu.be/xiaACQpFUfE?...
