We are here. The Trump Administration is simultaneously imposing tariffs on Canada (for no reason) while seeking to drop sanctions against Russia (for no reason)...

setting aside the fact that the entire white house staff is utterly poisoned by online in a way that actually exceeds any democratic staffer, it is incredibly pathetic that they look at trump's temper tantrum and see "strength"

The world has witnessed the most disgraceful political tantrum of all time. Trump is not the leader of the "free world." He is convicted felon who doesn't deserve to be in the same room as President Zelenskyy. There is no going along to get along with this thug. Canada needs to stand with Ukraine.

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Donald Trump & JD Vance are fascist disgraces. Utterly disgusting. The West has to unite against the US regime, now. Any further delay puts the world at great risk.

Trumps affinity for Putin is bad, his imitating him is worse. The Putinization of America has begun, with an unaccountable oligarch running the show and a toxic mix of public power & private interests.

This has to be the largest scandal in the history of the province. Danielle Smith & the UCP are selling out Albertans to enrich themselves and their friends. They must resign, & should be criminally investigated. Anything less is a travesty. #abpoli #cdnpoli

There is now way Trump is not in some way compromised by Russia. No possible way. Putin & Russia are THE ONLY things he refuses to criticize, ever.

Albertans are slowly waking up to the depths of the scandal enveloping the UCP government. A lot of folks are wondering how to explain what's going on to people who haven't been tuning in. Here's the what, so what now what, and what's next of the situation. 🧵

The last few days should put to rest the idea that Trump can be managed with the right combination of flattery and acquiescence. Zelensky made a series of reasonable and credible efforts to get Trump onside. He basically followed the playbook for how Trump ought to be managed. And, look:

Imagine one of your employees accused another of funneling half a billion of your dollars to their friends. Imagine the accused told you not to worry. They're looking into it for you. That's where we are in Alberta. The premier and her staff are telling taxpayers to let them handle it.

Interesting… Premier’s Office requesting that AHS employee, Mr. Pike of @thebreakdownab.bsky.social be fired for his podcasts gives us an insight into Danielle Smith’s and UCP’s authoritarian tendencies. Danielle and Health Minister should step dow till all this is investigated. #ableg

They're more concerned about not offending the "MAGA right" than defending their own country. Conservatives have suddenly cornered the market on self-loathing Canadians. Enjoy the fruits of your labours.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

@ec.europa.eu European Union must promptly form a European Military Force with a nuclear capacity, which Canada and UK (and perhaps Turkey) must be part of. Such defensive formation would operate in support of NATO, but must have the capacity to replace it. Hard new reality to accept. #cdnpoli

“If Trump…decides to use military force to annex Canada the result would not be determined by a conventional military confrontation between the Canadian & American armies. Rather, a military invasion of Canada would trigger a decades-long violent resistance which would ultimately destroy the US.”

Somewhere along the way, JD Vance correctly identified that he wouldn't have much of a future as a Republican who stuck to views like "It's bad to hate Indian people," so he course-corrected.
