If desperately reframing “career politician” is all the Director of Communications for the Conservative Party has, you know they’re scrambling. #cdnpoli

The neat thing about “move fast and break things” is it’s a great motto for people who have no discernible skills and no idea what they’re doing, because it has a way of rephrasing their total ineptitude as genius on the move.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

A new Leger poll finds a tied race if Mark Carney leads the Liberals. Yesterday's Angus Reid poll had similar results. leger360.com/fed-pol-feb-...

Post a female character you love. (I mean, I’d pick Ivanova too, but since she’s been picked, here’s another great choice. )

Another thing about this absolutely stupid and deranged fantasy: Trump suggested he would appoint *Wayne Gretzky* as governor, meaning we would not actually have an elected government or have the same rights as other states

A Delta plane crash landed at Toronto Pearson airport. The craft inverted and caught fire after landing. I don’t recall ever seeing anything quite like this before—here it is upside down on the runway:

Let’s be real—if your preferred party is polling at 10% in your riding, voting for them only helps Ford. But backing the leading progressive candidate gives us a real chance. Strategy beats wishful thinking. #ONpoli #ONelxn

Look at the split in Conservative support of Trump. Poilievre held a "Canada First" rally. At first glance that is pro-Canada but if you know his hardcore base, it's also a nod to "America First", a call to action being used by Trump. The MAGA-north movement is still there, plain to see. Clever.

honestly Canada’s best defense against invasion is the fact that this administration would definitely invade Minnesota by mistake, forget to bring winter coats, fire all the support staff and then forget what they came for

One thing that will stop Trump tariffs & his bonkers talk of annexing 🇨🇦 is if regular Americans tell him loudly they don’t agree & want it to stop. This is a way to reach many of them & make it 💯 clear that their nice Canadian neighbours are angry. #TeamCanada

“Booing is your patriotic duty right now. It’s not very Canadian, and that’s the point. We’ve let this whole polite northerner shtick exist for too long…You know what rude people get? Service. They squeak, but they also get the oil.” #TeamCanada www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/artic...

The upcoming election in Canada could not be more important. It’s not just about standing up against Trump’s tariffs and his threats to annex Canada. It’s about the future of liberal democracy and who will fight for it.

For the Americans following this, to be clear, Canadians weren't booing the US anthem before Jan 20th. Canada has faced off against the US in hockey at all levels over the years. Only one thing has changed--Trump's crap about annexing Canada. So, if you get upset at this booing, blame Donnie.
