Stephen Harper's former adviser PP "outright lied." vm.tiktok.com/ZMB1Ho83W/

⚡️Canada imposes new sanctions against Russia. Canada introduced new sanctions on March 2 against 10 Russian individuals and 21 entities. The sanctions target military leaders, post-Wagner paramilitary groups, and affiliated organizations involved in resource extraction.

No. None of them can tell you why.

I know people don’t want to hear this because it makes them feel powerless but the math is the math We do not have the House We do not have the Senate We can be loud but that doesn’t change the math I attended my councilwoman’s online townhall Make a difference locally 🤎

Americans may not get Myers’ “elbows up” gesture but Canadians and Gordie Howe fans sure do.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

Canada ~ ❤️❤️

Chris Murphy: "It is absolutely shameful what's happening right now. The White House has become an arm of the Kremlin."

Mike Myers showing off his “Canada is not for sale” t-shirt on SNL was fantastic! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Look at Pierre Poilievre and his disdain for Zelenskyy, the mock clapping and staring at him with a smirk. The sneer on his face. The condescending glare. He is digusting. #cdnpoli #peipoli

the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances, signed on December 5, 1994, by Ukraine, the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom. Ukraine agreed to eliminate all nuclear weapons on its territory. In return, the signatories provided Ukraine with security assurances, including:

It is important that people understand and accept as fact that our government is compromised. I don't mean compromised in some cloak-and-dagger sense, I simply mean that this government no longer accepts core democratic principles and is angling toward an autocracy that's part of a New Axis of Evil.

We all saw it and heard it with our own eyes. So did Europe! #TheGreatestBetrayal

Somebody is gambling w WW III, but not Zelensky. It’s the guy who decided to die in office and take us all down with him; 34-time convicted felon, hellbent on serving his own ego, just shot democracy in the head. Who will oppose him, and who will hold the world together while we handle our business?

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

I'm sorry, but there's no world in which fining a coal company just $9000 for poisoning our watersheds gets to qualify as "world class environmental regulations." Yet again, the Alberta Energy Regulator puts fossil fuel companies over our health and safety. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #ABLeg #CDNPoli

Wab Kinew 🇨🇦 Zelenskyy is a hero. Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! #cdnpoli #peipoli

Why Can't Pierre Poilievre Pass A Security Clearance??? It seems somewhat more relevant even, than it was 3 months ago. What is the CPC telling us? That Putin runs them as well as the USA?

Canada, Germany working on diversifying trade in face of U.S. threats www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/can...

if the Liberals win the next election, I will be pushing them to stop subsidizing foreign owned media in Canada You can hold whatever political views you want but Canadian taxpayers should not be paying Americans to spread their propaganda Looking at you Postmedia #cdnpoli

Canada needs a game plan to overhaul our regulatory bodies and to invest what is necessary to protect our people. The United States has ceased to be a trustworthy ally. They are threat not just to us but to their own people. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Bonnie Crombie 🇨🇦 No @brittlestar, we won't build a big dumb tunnel. But we will get you a family doctor. Vote for one on Thursday. #cdnpoli #onpoli

An excellent interview with George Osborne, ex-chancellor of the exchequer of the U.K., who headhunted Carney to run Britain's central bank in 2012 and says now he has the skills, confidence and experience to become Canada's next prime minister. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bISJ...

Not a single Liberal leadership candidate spent thousands of $ to skip last nights leadership debate. Like Pierre Poilievre did to skip his debate. #cdnpoli #peipoli

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

White House is set to reverse decades of precedent saying it “will determine” who can cover the president by picking pool reporters. Now is the time for ALL pro democracy reporters to stop covering Trump.

This is why we need unions.

Important news! 🇨🇦 The Supreme Court of Canada is leaving X! Our other political leaders AND the CBC should also make a swift eXit. www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/art....

Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.

I started law school in Canada when the Charter had been in force for just over a decade, when it was widely accepted that it would be political suicide for a government to invoke the notwithstanding clause to gut basic human rights. But here we are, and where is the outrage?

Let’s face it. Getting rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is to make way for less qualified white men to take positions they don’t deserve.

Ha, I knew it! Carney will have his security clearance before PP. He just said during the Liberal debate that he has already applied for it and he said it was very easy. #CdnPoli #TeamCarney #Canada #Liberal

Proud to be a federal Liberal today. I like all these candidates on the debate stage. I'm a solid Carney supporter, but we're lucky to have such talented and experienced field. And what a stark contrast with the clowns on the CPC front bench. #LiberalDebate2025 #LPC #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre hasn't bothered to get his security clearance. It's not hard. This is the kind of the irresponsibility we can't afford right now. #MarkCarney

BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.
