"I think he’s an angry teenager in the body of a grown man." @drmarkbourrie.bsky.social Best description of Pierre Poilievre. It explains so much about that rage farmer eh? #cdnpoli

Canada's MSM journos must like being in PPs stenographer pool. He won't take their fucking questions and instead of being outraged, instead of warning his actions are a threat to democracy, they just stand there pathetically hoping they get picked. #cdnpoli www.readthemaple.com/poilievre-ge...

I don't think the United States can be regarded as a safe third country anymore. #cdnpoli #immigration

The UK Supreme Court doesn’t know shit. Trans women are women. This isn’t up for debate.

Rick Herbst: "...our calculus of liberal to conservative will be moot if the Trump administration (implements)...hostage-taking of funding to prestigious universities. There will be no spectrum left except the Authoritarian one. And after that, whatever we call ourselves won’t be worth a damn."

When you can't win: If Carney takes time to do his job as PM: Why is Carney hiding? If Carney doesn't take time to do his job as PM: Why is Carney ignoring his duties as PM during a crisis? #cdnpoli

They are in the game. Courting EU trade deals and ending US Hydro contracts. Premier Wab Kinew is on #TeamCanada and is making sure you know how to spell Manitoba. #TrumpTariffs www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/art...

Neil Young is endorsing Mark Carney #cdnpoli #elxn45 #elxn2025

Globe&Mail [cont] -- Many Canadian immigration lawyers think trans Americans would have strong asylum claims, adding one: "Not allowing someone to identify by their correct gender marker isn’t just discrimination, it’s a form of violence." @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Things are looking up for Canada. Now America's best and brightest want to move to Canada and study at their schools. And Canada has plenty of good, healthy, and cheap eggs. #uspol #cdnpoli #ukpol #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Saskatoon University polling for April 11 shows a vote split between the second place Liberal candidate and third place NDP candidate. Splitting the vote gets us a mediocre CPC backbencher who fights for plastic straws. A strategic vote in this riding is a Liberal vote.

Kevin M Vickers 🇨🇦 - Janice Stein endorsed Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦 saying: "Mark Carney is the world's leading economist and could very well lead the whole world through the Trump crisis, let alone Canada." #cdnpoli

I'm curious why Moe, Smith, and Poilievre are leaning into the more extreme right during this election rather than trying to gain back losing ground in the polls. It's making me uncomfortable. #CdnPoli #SkPoli #AbPoli

It looks like Poilievre just lost a debate talking point. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Let’s be clear, what Poilievre is proposing - using the notwithstanding clause to change criminal justice in Canada- IS a step towards authoritarianism. All other things aside, even this alone utterly disqualifies Poilievre as a wannabe tyrant. #cdnpoli #elxn45 #elbowsup #neverCPC

Canadian university teachers warned against travelling to the United States #Canada Advice includes researchers 'at odds with the position of the current U.S. administration' www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"I haven't followed Canadian politics closely, but when a politician talks of limiting free press, activities at universities & defying the courts, it's the canary in a coal mine for autocracy" - Harvard University Professor when asked his opinion on Pierre Poilievre. #Canada #cdnpoli #elxn45

Read @marisakabas.bsky.social’s reporting about the antisemites combatting “antisemitism” initiative.

I dozed off for a few minutes and dreamed an amicus brief - green covers and all. It was one sentence long: "Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?"

trump and his wingnut lackeys are turning our sciences and medical institutions into wastelands. the US is going to become a Third World nation with no talent, no intellectual influence, no hope. Just the way the fcking Far Right wants it.

Good, short, and obvious! Telling the truth takes fewer weasel words than bowing to the dick-tator.

Democratic pols shld really be mocking Trump as acting like a foreign strongman, dictator, autocrat etc. is he going to start wearing epaulets and a military uniform next? Etc. the archetype is deeply woven into American civic culture as a figure or scorn and menace.

I’m afraid this is correct. bsky.app/profile/grav...

So Poilievre spends 2 years linking Trudeau to every single bad thing that happened in Canada. Now Carney makes 1 mild aside about Cons & the Globe is ON IT! www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/0a09d80...

For sure, PP will wrap up the meth head vote with this ad!

What a terrible day to have eyes and ears

The mainstream press viewpoint is that no one mainstream is racist, and therefore, as ideas approach the mainstream, they become less racist

For decades Putin’s Kremlin has fantasised about two things - destroying NATO and ending the primacy of the US dollar. After only 10 weeks back in office Trump is well on the way to delivering both these things. And congressional Republicans, who used to guarantee them, are too cowardly to stop him.
