Facing questions about Canada’s missile defence talks with the U.S., PM Mark Carney is asked why his govt would consider further integration with the United States. “We are in a position now where we cooperate when necessary, but not necessarily cooperate,” he says. #cdnpoli

Cutting school lunch but posting commandments? That’s not faith — it’s greed. The GOP is selling us out to billionaires. 2026 is coming. Fight back. 📕 ‘Fck Around & Find Out’* — your manual to take the power back. Get the book. Raise hell. Save your state. stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Brilliant idea! Next they’ll invent seatbelts and call them “freedom straps.”

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

Amore e unità. With the PM, parliamentary colleagues and other invited guests I was part of the Canadian delegation that attended the inaugural mass of Pope Leo XIV today. Against this storied backdrop, the Pope delivered a call for love and unity. (1/x)

"I don't think we should sugar coat it." Prof. Eric Adams responds to AB Gov. tweaking its controversial proposed legislation. He says Alberta separation can't be conducted without breaking treaties, and saying otherwise "doesn't make sense" 🎧traffic.megaphone.fm/CORU7780192399…

Ottawa-area unemployed man criticizes Mark Carney's cabinet picks.

In the late 1970s, the corporate tax rate was the same or lower in Quebec than Ontario. But corporations and head offices were going the other way - from Montreal to Toronto. Stoking the coals of separatism helps nobody. It's a small and impractical idea - and it's bad for business.

Growing western alienation is a tantalizing storyline and it gets clicks and eyeballs, I'm sure, but it is not borne out by the facts. Alberta-first identity is on the decline, not increase.

I've been hesitant to write something like this because I didn't want to give oxygen to Alberta separatists. The conversation alone is dangerous. But with the threshold to a separation referendum lowered so dramatically, we can't let myths out there go unchecked. www.coreyhogan.ca/p/three-albe...

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

“Alberta has no apparent right to secede. A supposedly “independent” Alberta would be an unlawful occupation of land that was only shared with the Crown, not the people who came to settle the province.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe. But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

The state of Utah voted to ban pride flags so Salt Lake City Council decided to make official city flags that incorporate the progress pride, Juneteenth, and transgender flags so they can fly them without breaking state law

"Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is urging her Ontario counterpart Doug Ford to mind his own business when it comes to talk of separating from Canada." ~~~ It's CANADA'S business, Danielle. All of Canada’s. #cdnpoli #abpoli globalnews.ca/news/1116695...

Contrasting messages of Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦 and Andrew Scheer. #cdnpoli

Mark Carney says USMCA is a basis for a broader talks on trade and that it will have to change, and that Trump has taken advantage of deal with the tariffs. #cdnpoli

Smith held another whiny press conference today basically declaring war on the Liberal government, which, in her mind, is responsible for everything she's done wrong. She's a right-wing extremist who refuses to play on Team Canada. #abpoli #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Robert Fife says Prime Minister Mark Carney's 🇨🇦 first speech was the best Prime Minister speech in over a decade. "He's not here for his ego, he's here to build this country." #cdnpoli

President Trump, "We don't do much business with Canada" PM Mark Carney, "Canada is the largest client of the United States" Trump fact-checked in real time. #cdnpoli

Naheed Nenshi's response to Danielle Smith's speech today: "She lied. She deflected. She blamed. She refused to take responsibility, and she tried to pick a fight. That's what she does. That's what she's always done." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #NDP youtu.be/d4e8Xu5xtqU?...

Smith has touched off a firestorm! Today Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation called for all resource exploration to cease, citing First Nations responsibility to the crown under treaty and questioning who Smith was exploring for. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
