I need folks to know that this isn't a real thing. Economic conservatism is fundamentally opposed to social liberalism. You can't reinforce capitalism and move wealth toward the wealthy while also pursuing social justice and equality

U.S. Marines have arrived in Calgary for the G7 summit. The presence on Canadian soil of U.S. Marines (which are also being deployed against civilians in L.A.) is repugnant. #cdnpoli

With nothing in the landscape it's hard to judge size and distance. This is the furthest point of the US and it's a rocky beach and arctic tundra. All that's missing is a melting clock. #scape #Alaska #arctic #bluesky

I’m okay with their bias, I see it and account for it when reading their articles. But this is unethical. “National Post regularly rewrites Canadian Press news stories about Israel and Gaza, inserting different language while still identifying the stories as originating with CP”

This isn't what we voted for. If this isn't true than Carney needs to speak up right now. If it is true, we need another election now. Carney needs to be clear that he's ready to sell us out to Trump, give away our resources & implement AI without any regulations. #cdnpoli

Canada’s military took on southern Kandahar province, which every single American I met in Afghanistan admitted was the toughest patch there was. One hundred and sixty-six Canadians died fighting a war provoked by an attack on U.S. soil, including my colleague Michelle Lang

Why do I get the sense that Canada's AI strategy will be to give private companies with sharehodlers in foreign countries a bunch of money to do sweet fuck all or to fire their domestic employees?

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

An HSI federal agent pointed a rifle with live ammunition at a protester and was taunting him. We're at the point where protesters may be shot and killed by ICE.

Just watched former Canadian Conservative leader Erin O’toole spread fake news saying the cons have always wanted to increase defence spending. I looked it up. It was S. Harper who reduced military spending in 2014 in order to achieve a surplus budget to give tax breaks just before an election.

"it's not peaceful for people to be on the highway" -LA Mayor Karen Bass right now. This is what I mean when I say the word "peaceful" as applied to protesters is about prescribing placidity, not nonviolence. Calmly marching on a freeway is pretty inarguably nonviolent. " Peaceful" you can debate

Okay, so a few hundred Angelenos pushed back on ICE. Some turned violent, but I can assure you that Los Angeles is not burning down right now — and the aggressors are the United States Government, not the people defending their ground.
