Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

"This fight will be led by ordinary people and through everyday acts of resistance." - Charlie Angus

An important read. "We see you, Trump. You ain’t so big. We know who you are and what you represent. And we say no."

When the women begin to march Donald and his grifter gang are going to run to the hills.

Ben Meiselas: "the US is past the point of constitutional crisis -- it's a dictatorship" "Hitler’s path to power came from those with money and political power. They were willing to play footsie with the Nazis because they believed Hitler would be a useful tool for their own political interests."

Have you purchased your ticket to the Political Wake and Resurrection of Charlie Angus and the Grievous Angels in Ottawa? The first show is sold out. Tickets are moving fast for the 2nd show. Sunday March 23. Rainbow Bistro. Ottawa. therainbow.ca/event/589298...

Please, Americans, read Charlie's latest ~ The countdown has fast forwarded and you don't have two years to flip seats. The time is now. #Resist

When we say never again, we have to mean never again.

A must read.

USA folks, worth the time to read. Charlie is a Canadian living treasure at this moment. ✌🏼 Thanks @charlieangus104.bsky.social

@charlieangus104.bsky.social 's clear-sightedness is essential today!

"[Orange man's] first 40 days haven’t been as chaotic as people think. He has been methodically kicking out the foundations underpinning the world’s strongest democracy. He is deliberately destroying Western alliances and leaving America dangerously alone in the world."

In Alberta grassroots resistance is coming together to take on the MAGA premier. Here is a link for resistance in the land of the big sky. Go Alberta go. www.abresistance.ca

I wish our leaders would have the same understanding and awareness.

Please read my latest reflection. There are lies we tell to comfort ourselves. Like Democrats who say we just have to wait two year and Trump will lose control of the House. Like those in Germany who promoted Hitler while believing they could control him. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-reichs...

For all my friends, 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸 and everywhere else! - we have to fight this TOGETHER.

Pendant que Trump et son régime d'oligarques veulent se séparer l'Ukraine à l'avantage de la Russie, ici au Canada, l'Ontario de Doug Ford encourage le tout en donnant un contrat à une entreprise de Musk. Ceci s'appelle de la collaboration. Nous devons dénoncer. #SlavaUkraini #Muskisanazi

People didn't get anything out of the Russian pipeline debacle. When you let a foreign nation control your infrastructure, they will use it to manipulate you. Canada should not have Starlink. Our dependency will be our weakness. #BuyCanadian 🍁 #BoycottTesla ⛔️ #NoStarlink 🖕

It cannot be overstated how messed up it is that the U.S. is trying to extort an allied country, that is in the middle of a war for survival, and trying to get them to sign over their natural resources, or get cut off from military support and communication infrastructure. America is a mafia state.

The resistance is all around..

As an immigrant to the US, I support this fine and sensible Canadian and his on-point message!

Elon Musk is a bandit. And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him. Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine. Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck." No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do. Slava Ukraini

I stopped by the beautiful The Lavender Fox tea salon in Cobalt to have my favourite old-fashioned. And guess what? THEY NO LONGER USE KENTUCKY BOURBON. Let's celebrate Brbn Whiskey from the OKANAGEN VALLEY. Thanks Donald for opening our eyes to so many Great CANADIAN choices.

All those kids died for our liberty, democracy and peace...not so we could let suit-wearing fascists in America and Europe, with their AI weapons and disinformation machines, drag us back into war

“There is no alternative” “No one is coming to save us” “It’s going to be ordinary people standing up” ❤️ 🤍 ❤️ Americans, “find the wellspring of American independence and love of liberty” “We will do this”

True. North. Strong. Free. #StrongAsFuck

At a NATO cocktail party a European dude scolded me on Canada not pulling its weight. "Your ships are all 40 years old." I said, "You want to talk about age? My father in law was only 17 when he and other Canadian teenagers were freeing your country from the fascist jackboot." Canada #strongasfuck

While our Democratic leadership fails to meet this moment, we can draw inspiration from our neighbors up North 💙💙💙 #resistance #fucktyranny

Thanks so much Charlie. You have inspired so many of us to kick back against Trump, Poillievre and the right wing gangsters that are taking over our collective wealth and power. Stay strong and we will try to keep making you proud

Let's all find our inner Charlie.

You told us to get ready to "go over the boards" @charlieangus104.bsky.social - thank you for being a light in the darkness.

Trivia: "Kicking at the darkness 'till it bleeds daylight" is a line written by Canadian songwriter Bruce Cockburn. U2 and others have quoted it in songs too, but Cockburn penned it. [And Leonard Cohen, also Canadian: "There's a crack in everything; that's how the light gets in."]

Kudos to @charlieangus104.bsky.social, telling it like it IS ‼️ 🇺🇸🌵💪🇨🇦

Charlie Angus, a Canadian Member of Parliament. Fighting for both Canada 🇨🇦 AND the United States 🇺🇸 .

🇨🇦 CANADA 3 US 2 👍👏 Trudeau: “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game,” Well done Canucks !!! 🇨🇦❤️‍🩹🇨🇦❤️‍🩹🇨🇦❤️‍🩹🇨🇦❤️‍🩹🇨🇦

He cannot understand selflessness... which is exactly why we will win..

Canada has balls. Real balls. From their fight in Hong Kong in 1942 to road rolling fat boi trump in 2025. Go, Canada, go. Crush fat boi trump.

Canadians never bend in the face of tyranny. This is our story as a nation, and I am so proud to be part of that story today. Across Canada and the United States the resistance will come from ordinary people. Keep kicking at the darkness until it bleeds daylight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=es5q...

Stronger together. ✊ #StandUpForDemocracy #WeWillNotBend "Following my intervention, the Latvian delegation completely dropped the gloves and went hard on Trump.... Afterward, the lead Latvian delegate came up to shake my hand, saying: “We decided it was time to start acting like Canadians.”"

No we ain't going anywhere. But if they need some players to help get them back on their feet after tackling Team Canada we might be willing to help. Maybe.

Think you're powerless to do anything? Think again 👇

Hit their pocketbooks. No Teslas. No Amazon. No anything from the evil regime. Buy Canadian and goods from Mexico.

Really something to watch from the US side as our conqueror's hubris is aimed in Canada's direction. It's not like it's across an ocean and we can pretend they're some alien class of humanity who somehow love getting ruled by us. We can see their guns from here.

Happy birthday Kathleen. My sister had the power to beguile. She made us believe that it wasn't that late. She inspired us to tell more stories, sing songs, stay for the nightcap. She suffered such heartbreak and pain without ever letting it show. We lost her way too young. Love you big sis.
