Sir Ed Davey: 'Why I support The Independent’s campaign to oppose Donald Trump’s assault on democracy and liberty'

the only thing Canadians like more than beating Russia in hockey is beating the US in hockey. the general sentiment this morning is that last night we got to do both.

Proud of you, Janet Mills. Tell that pompous moron to stick his federal funding up his arse!! Don’t stand for his BS for one instant. The only thing I wish you’d done while you were at it was ask him about the score in last night’s hockey game 🇨🇦!!

Oh Canada! #4Nations #Canada #StrongandFree

The government should draw up plans for Tesla tariffs to hit Musk where it hurts, if Trump follows through with his threats to the UK steel industry. Trump and Musk can't be allowed to bully the UK while the Conservatives and Nigel Farage cheer them on from the sidelines.

Canada has never been more united

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

"We need Saint Francis. Now that kindness is countercultural, we need his extremes of wild charity to pull us back toward it. And we need his asceticism...his merry disdain of health and comfort and security, is a rebuke to our self-care...the only stability is the bottomlessness of divine love."

From Elizabeth Bruenig: "The tendency of humankind to be self-serving and deceitful is part of what makes me believe that Christianity is at its purest and most beautiful when it is counterintuitive and unwieldy—that is, when it is least amenable to human convenience."

Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives were coasting to a massive victory in the next election until Donald Trump started rattling the world's biggest sabre at Canada. Now, can they rise to the occasion — or will they shrink from the moment? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/07/o...

#Breaking: Donald Trump is not joking about making Canada the 51st state, Justin Trudeau warns

Speak up and fight back, Canada! It’s the patriotic thing to do. Canadians, you need to speak up now, fight back, hold onto all the patriotism you showed since Trump first threatened to gun us down. It’s the best kind of patriotism. #Opinion

Be clear about what Trump and Musk’s aid axe will do: people will face terror and starve, many will die | Gordon Brown

OMFG! 🔥🔥🔥🔥Rep. Jasmine Crockett: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 "We are going to be in your faces, we're gonna be on your ass, we're going to make sure you understand that this is what democracy looks like!"

Not a penny for Trump.

They say that 1939 Britain stood alone against a despot. That's not true. Canadian kids were signing up in the thousands. We were there to defend British skies. Now Canada stands alone in the face of despotism.and there is crickets from our European allies. But we've got this. Canada. #strongasfuck

(36) MAGA Congress SECRETLY Pushes Dangerous Bill while Trump DISTRACTS - YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKiV...

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.

Why can’t more Democrats in Congress take a stand and tell it like it is? Go Jasmine!!

Canada needs to find new, reliable trading partners globally.

And still the insults keep coming … FAFO.

Thank you, Canada!

From Former Canadian Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretian to Donald Trump:

Canadians won’t, and shouldn’t, forget this act of aggression.

Mexican President Orders Retaliatory Tariffs Against U.S: MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Saturday she ordered her economy minister to implement tariff and non-tariff...

The Wall Street Journal isn’t pulling any punches tonight. “The Dumbest Trade War in History. Trump will impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico for no good reason.” With big consequences for both countries that are each other’s biggest trading partners and closest allies. Or at least we were.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Encouraging my fellow Canadians to sign the Pledge for Canada 🇨🇦!! The time has come together to stand up for the country we love and the values we hold dear!!

“The hardest part wasn’t seeing these differences – it was realizing I could never unsee them.”

Pete Buttigieg responds to Trump:

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

"Admitting failure is anathema to the authoritarian leader ...which is why White House adviser Stephen Miller is frantically searching for scapegoats to blame for the unfolding disaster around President Donald Trump’s massive freeze on federal spending." newrepublic.com/article/1908...

What the president has tried to do in the last 24 hours is illegal. His actions threatened millions of Illinoisans' access to health care, food, and even fuel to heat their homes. I will stay vigilant in defense of IL because if you come for my people, you come through me.

Trump is doing everything Putin wants him to do: abandoning our nation’s core values, attacking longtime allies, and picking Tulsi Gabbard for a critical national intelligence role. Putin has us right where he wants us, with his puppet as our President. America first? youtu.be/iPXXFfXk5aM

Mexico's President Sheinbaum condemning Donald Trump ICE ethnic cleansing campaign: "Let them hear this, and hear it clearly, Mexicans there sustain the economy of the United States in the countryside, in services, everywhere! The US wouldn't be what it is without the workers that go and help."

Lying about immigrant communities like Aurora makes us less safe. It also does nothing to fix our broken immigration system, which we desperately need to do. President Trump––rather than political posturing, work with Democrats to secure the border & pass bipartisan reforms.

What we’re seeing is horrific. Trump and his cult are already committing cruel and disturbing acts which hurt not only America, but also the entire world. The heartless pathological liar is implementing the infamous Project 2025—and the repercussions could be felt for years to come.

Buttigieg is the best of America When I think of the amazing people we lost under Fascist Trump regime my grief is like tidal waves that rise and fall... sometimes just submerging me 🥺🇺🇲

“Mr Donald Trump, you are a maniac!” ~ Miguna Miguna takes a dig at President Trump

The shutdown of CBP One, the app that allows asylum seekers to make appointments at legal ports of entry, could produce more chaos, writes Juliette Kayyem. “Then again, Trump’s political interest lies in exploiting the border, not effectively managing it.”
