No more “nice Canadian”. Stand with Charlie! Screw this pathetic noise. You don’t negotiate with terrorists! @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social SHUT THIS GARBAGE DOWN!

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. If you don't hear the message loud and clear you aren't reading the room! We are not for sale so we do not need to negotiate a deal... no open dialog with a dictator's militia.

If ppl are giving thoughtful feedback, why not listen instead of reframing the question? Normalizing the annexation of a sovereign country by a dictator - a convicted felon & rapist - all for media attention, is beyond what most Canadians will tolerate. Drop it @CBC. This propaganda only emboldens.

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...

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

This is so wrong! Americans have no voice in Canada’s sovereignty. Seriously, CBC…ENOUGH! And Hanomansing! Canadians are tired and don’t need anymore of your garbage…Your pandering to the likes of DBH, Bogoch…How many ppl have you killed with your minimizing? This is more of the same. STOP!

Now that the US appears to be in its Lord of the Flies stage, I suppose it’s reasonable to expect it to go the Animal Farm stage by this time next year, with it reaching full-on 1984 status by the end of 2026.

At the NATO meeting a loud US republican saw my CDN flag pin on my lapel and reached for it saying, "Hey Canada." I stopped him. "Don't touch the Canadian flag." "Just joking," he said. "You'll die before you touch our flag," I said, "not joking." He scrambled out of there. #notfuckingaround

Canadians will go from “No, yeah” to “yeah, no” pretty quick there, bud. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

Your good new story for the day. I just received a message from a landlord in Florida. He has lost over $30,000 in rentals since Canadians began the boycott. Canadians are doing their part. LET'S TAKE THE BOYCOTT INTERNATIONAL. We invite allied nations to boycott all things American.

Ontario is experiencing very strong Influenza A activity. A serious case of flu can put you in hospital, especially if you skipped vaccination or are in a vulnerable group. Over 23% of tests for influenza A are coming back positive. source: www.publichealthontario.ca/en/Data-and-...

Pay attention to what JD Vance and Musk are saying to Europe. They are upset that Europe is not giving them full "free speech" rights in digital information. Translation: MAGA won in a swamp of disinformation, much of it on SM platforms like X. They want RW govts in Europe, using the same model.

That was fast

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

No. The “COVID deniers haven’t won.” No one except disaster capitalists are winning. We all lost.

"CDC's website is being modified to comply with President Trump's Executive Orders." What an epitaph to carve on the gravestone of American health: www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

Why would anyone ever trust the USA again? Can't even stick to an agreed 30 day pause. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

NEW: Two planes crash on the runway at Scottsdale Airport. At least one person has died after an aircraft crash on the runway Monday at the Scottsdale Airport. Three other people onboard the plane have been taken to hospitals for treatment of their injuries. 🔗 www.abc15.com/news/region-...

Horrifying reporting from @alexander-a-tin.bsky.social about how MMWR has become the CDC version of Truth Social. Bird flu updates are suppressed in favor of hit pieces on Gavin Newson. Would not be surprised to see reports blaming TB and measles on immigrants next www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-o...

You know after I saw that T cells dipped due to C19 I said I’m expecting TB prevalence to go up. Guess what’s happening… in multiple locations…

Cats that became infected with #BirdFlu might have spread the virus to humans, according to data that *briefly* appeared online in a report from the CDC but then abruptly vanished. #H5N1 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h....

In other news… The U.S. is not ready for the H5N1 bird flu in humans. Bird flu is infecting more people than we think. 🦠😷 #BirdFlu #H5N1

#USDA posted an analysis of the D1.1 #H5N1 #birdflu viruses that infected Nevada cows — the new spillover event. They spotted a mutation in the PB2 gene that is associated with mammalian adaptation. What's this mean? Dunno. But 2 spillovers means more could come. www.aphis.usda.gov/sites/defaul...

We have never been closer to a pandemic from #H5N1 virus. Yet, we are still not doing enough to prevent it or to reduce the impact when it hits. fortune.com/well/2025/02... @cbarbermd.bsky.social @fortune.com @scottehensley.bsky.social @angierasmussen.bsky.social

And BC has an ostrich farm with 25% of its 400 head flock, H5N1 infected…the Pacific flyway is due back in weeks to come. What are we doing?? 🤦‍♀️

OMG…This thread! Walker…Wow! Thank you! ☺️

A right-wing dark money group backed by some big names has launched a new public health “academy” complete with its own medical “journal.” The editorial board of this new publication is stacked with COVID contrarians and misinformation spreaders. www.importantcontext.news/p/a-new-acad...

Canadians used to joke that we were a mouse beside an elephant. Then comparisons got darker - living above a meth lab. Now we understand we live next to a gangster regime. But Canadians won't bend. The resistance is coming from ordinary folk. Please read and share. open.substack.com/pub/charliea...

Yes, It’s a Coup and Yes, It’s Targeting You

Here's a fact most Americans don't know: The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world. The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits. We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

Anti-ICE protesters in California have shut down the 101 freeway in Los Angeles marching towards City Hall.

Mexico has joined Canada in placing 25% tariffs on the US. China has filed a suit against the US at the World Trade Organization. People across all European countries, Mexico, Canada and parts of Latin America are organizing a world wide boycott of all US products. “Buy anything but US”

Anti-Trump demonstrators in Los Angeles have taken over the 101 freeway to protest ICE deportation raids. 🎥 ktla

Billions of dollars in trade flow through our ports, like Port Saint John in New Brunswick. Today, I sat down with their team as they prepare for the impacts of Trump’s tariffs. Canadians will face this challenge as one united team.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

By now you've seen a dozen headlines about a dubious COVID report from the Alberta government that's full of junk science. If you click on any of them, let it be this one. My latest: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Canada. True. North. Strong. Free. #strongasfuck

Hi all, This is the first week we'll be posting the full Canadian COVID Forecast thread on Bluesky instead of Twitter. We'll post a link to the Bluesky thread on Twitter, so you can still find it. @battlingbeaver.bsky.social will post it for me on Monday, once @allenescott.bsky.social translates.

DYK? Since July 2022, the lag between COVID-19 symptom onset and a positive PCR test is 4.5-6.5 days. You might test positive earlier than 5 days after symptom onset, but it can be up to one week. That's PCR--with RATs you're even less likely to test positive within the first 5 days of symptoms.

Wow RFK Jr. just perjured himself on live tv

In the United States families are being terrorized and targeted. And yet this shitbird grifter thinks she can win the leadership of the Liberal party of Canada through such tactics. Ruby, I knew you back in the day. You had no moral compass then. Go back under your rock. Canada has moved on.
