OTTAWA – Hundreds of people gathered on Parliament Hill for the “Elbows up, Canada” rally as U.S. President Donald Trump threatens economywide tariffs and making the country into the 51st state.

"From one old guy to another old guy, stop this nonsense." Former PM Jean Chretien directs his speech to Donald Trump, adding Canada will never be part of the United States.

Are Republicans starting to understand why Trump hasn’t released the Epstein files yet?

Na na na na hey hey hey bye bye. #elbowsup #strongasfuck

“Wealthy Chinese investors are quietly funnelling tens of millions of dollars into private companies controlled by Elon Musk using an arrangement that shields their identities from public view” www.ft.com/content/6685...

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

@mark-carney.bsky.social can we explore the idea of banning x in Canada? At the very least, there should be a removal of official federal agency accounts on the platform.

Oh, that’s a shame.

The US was the sole UN member state to vote NO on a resolution declaring an International Day of Hope

Patricia Bauman died a year ago. ActBlue is a payment processor. Almost anyone who’s given to a D candidate in the last 20 years could be mischaracterized as a “ActBlue funder.” Listing five Jews, two of whom are long dead, as “ActBlue funders” secretly behind the Tesla protests is antisemitism.

Sorry J.D. My concern is for Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russians or bombed and mutilated by Putin. As for you claim that your kids were scared by Ukrainian protesters you should be more worried about them being ashamed of their Dad. You are a liar. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Delete Elon Musk. #2ndAmendment

It sure does take a lot of cops to protect Elon's feelings.

In addition to all (waves hands) of the new risks 🇨🇦 is now facing come January, I would keep my eye on water. Trump falsely claimed he could solve the Colorado River crisis by taking more water from Canada. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/fact_checkin... 1/n

Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the 4 other members of the Five Eyes spy alliance—Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom—are reportedly examining whether to continue including America in international intelligence.

Tesla is under investigation in Canada for processing 8,600 vehicle sales in just three days before a federal EV credit expired. The company claimed $43 million in credits over those three days. It was a big jump from usual sales volumes.

The convoy crew held the people of Ottawa hostage and tried to divide people with rage politics. No wonder they are freaked out by Canadian solidarity and goodwill. They promote bitterness. We stand for a better nation. #elbowsup my friends Canada is strong.

"Donald" Gretzky spotted in TO on trash day. #cdnpoli

If Canadians are looking for a place to focus their rage, Florida Man here is asking for it

“Canada’s leaders should also commit to strengthening support for domestic news providers, especially the CBC, as our best bastion against foreign misinformation.” writes @karanicolas.bsky.social policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/ma...

Washington Post under Trump: "151,000 jobs is solid" Washington Post under Biden: "194,000 jobs is another weak month"

What has Musk been up to up north? Tesla reported selling 8,600 vehicles at four locations in Canada in three days - resulting in $43 million in government EV rebates - just before the government stopped those rebates. A single Toronto showroom claimed over 1,200 sales in a single day.

Elon Musk, J. D. Vance have tried to intervene and undermine elections in Europe. Elections Canada is not willing to take this issue on. Questions are being raised about banning X during the electoral period to prevent foreign interference in our democracy. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

Excited to share a personal project I've been working on. I've heard the best thing you can do for your country in tough times is use the skills you have. So I hope you'll subscribe, share and listen to Elbows Up, a podcast about how, exactly, Canada can be strong and free. Forever. lnk.to/AhF2DG

I’d like to announce my forthcoming US history book, covering a decisive but tumultuous era in that country’s history, titled “The trade policies of the United States: 10:30 am to 1:30 pm on Friday, March 7, 2025” It will be 400 pages.

Invasion of Canada would spark guerrilla warfare that destroys U.S. power, expert says. Never imagined this would be something to write about, ever. Column. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu... #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #trump #trumptariffs #CanadaUSTradeWar #canada

The NYT reporting on details of talks between Canadian and American officials that included - from the American side - redrawing the border, ignoring treaties involving waterways like the Great Lakes, kicking Canada out of 5 eyes and military cooperation agreements www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/w...

If NASA had the failure rate SpaceX does, Elon would be firing everyone and Congress would be demanding to know where the money is going.

It takes a unique kind of genius to fuck up the US-Canada relationship.

Reporter: "Your Foreign Affairs Minister [Melanie Joly] yesterday called all of this a psychodrama. How do you how do you characterize it?" Trudeau: "Thursday." #cdnpoli

Oh, you thought your little trade war was gonna be fun, did you? Americans really didn’t do their research.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

The Most Memorable Moment Of Trump’s Speech: It wasn’t Rep. Al Green (D-TX) being escorted out of the House chamber or the long list of Trump absurdities. Nope, it was Trump rubbing Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’ face in their mutual corruption: talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...
