Royal Canadian Mounted Mandalorians. Awesome. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

"Who benefits from you believing the story? If it's Trump, MAGA, Elon or some other entity against your interests as a Canadian then it might be propaganda!" In #CanadaElection we can't take any chances with foreign interference. Be on guard! #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦 #CanadaSky 🔗 youtu.be/PEiXTm7i_e0?si…

Elected in 2004. 2008 #PierrePoilievre thought he should insert his ignorance and racism against our residential school survivors the same day the official apology was given in The House. This alone, should’ve had him ousted for life. If you are an ally this must never be forgotten.🪶😡💔🧡

This energy right here.

International joint protest across the river in Detroit and Windsor. Oh Canada we stand in guard with thee. @indivisiblemi.bsky.social @mi-swim.bsky.social @indivisiblemetrod.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social

Thousands came together in Toronto, standing united against the threat of US tariffs and calls to make Canada the 51st state. #cdnpoli But the message from Canadians is clear - Canada is strong, resilient and independent! 🇨🇦👇

Take a look at this site and share it with voters (and everyone else) in your life! Let’s make sure we’re not being influenced by foreign or domestic forces attempting to sway our election! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 #Canadastrong #truenorth

American hedge funds should be banned from owning Canadian newspapers. Democracy is at stake. We now urgently need those newspapers to be owned by loyal Canadians committed to Canada’s independence. #Opinion

A protest to stand up for Canada’s sovereignty is happening in Montreal and outside every U.S. Consulate in Canada on March 24 🇨🇦 “To stand against fascism, and protest for peace, democracy and human rights in the face of ideologies that threaten us.”

“Canada’s Song” by #AlanFrew is a Scottish-Canadian musician, best known as the lead singer of the Canadian rock band #GlassTiger. He immigrated to #Canada from #Scotland and became a key figure in the 1980s #music scene. #CanadaStrong ❤️🇨🇦‼️

Wow..look at this. PM Carney made a deal with Australia to work together to protect our Arctic Air space. USA>Not required. Elbows up!!! #elbowsup #markcarneyforPM #voteliberal www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Time to double down on Canadian nation-building. New and better rail travel is a key part of that. #TeamCanada #CanadaStrong

Fly your flags, Canada. Fly your flags. 🇨🇦

“…Canadian pluralism has a lot to do with our inability to settle on a national vision, goal, or meaning. But it’s a mistake to think that means there’s no Canadian vision. It just means there might be 41 million of them… it looks bracingly liberal in a world where that’s falling out of favour.” 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

"Canada's sovereignty is not up to debate, period." Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly lays out the message she conveyed to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. #cdnpoli

When you watch the news, consider the source. 🇨🇦 The #CBC is more than just a news network—it’s a pillar of Canadian identity. It’s the only major broadcaster that is owned by Canadians, for Canadians. At a time when corporate media from the U.S. dominates the airwaves, we need a strong...(cont)

www.cbc.ca/news/politic... "Canada's sovereignty is not up to debate, period. There's no argument, there's no conversation about it, there's no need to talk about it. You're here, you respect us, you respect our sovereignty, you're in our country, you respect our people. Period." 🔥🔥 #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦✊

The militia is doing rounds

“… Buy Local will have a bigger positive impact for our communities than simply moving our consumer dollars from large American companies to large Canadian ones. I think it’s also important to think about supporting local arts and culture in this moment.” #canadastrong #boycott #supportlocal 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

~This is awesome! For his latest political stunt, on Wednesday, Davey burst through a Canada flag at a Canadian-themed pub in central London and invited local media to dine with him on a menu of Canadian poutine, Beaver Tails and Canadian beer. www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

Canadians are reaching to our shared stories and past to find a way through these dark times. What binds us together as a nation is so much greater than what separates us. And this makes us unbreakable. Please read my reflection on the role of shared memory. #elbowsup substack.com/home/post/p-...

This is an easy one--I'M NOT GOING TO VISIT THE US AT ALL for the next four years. Who's with me? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/u...

NEW - BC Health Minister Josie Osborne has announced direct processing to enable US-trained doctors to become fully licensed in Canada without further examination. #bcpoli

I keep trying to impress upon my US friends how the mood has drastically shifted. Wartime speeches. Boycotts. New labels promoting CAD goods.

“Canada’s international reputation under Justin Trudeau has been outstanding. We’re consistently named one of the world’s best countries, ranking among those with the most freedom and best quality of life. Our reputation would suffer greatly under Pierre Poilievre.”

There are definitely more of us than them! Talk to your neighbours, talk to your friends, your family. We can avoid the oligarchy taking over North America if we all Vote! 🗳️ #CanadaStrongerTogether 🇨🇦

Trump’s trade war is our opportunity to remake Canada the way we want it Here’s what Canada must do to guarantee our future economic and political sovereignty. An editorial by @taylornoakes.bsky.social.

The Globe and Mail has just updated its directory of domestic brands to replace our biggest American imports. Use the menu to filter by the type of product you’re looking for, and open individual items for more information on the brand’s offerings and how to shop for them.

“Yet, though both sides were convinced that the tariff would drive Canada into the arms of the U.S., it actually had the opposite effect. Nationalistic Canadians argued that the tariff was “a heavy blow struck alike at our home industries and at the prosperity and independence of the Dominion…”.” 🇨🇦

"He'd say Canada's got to stand up for itself and fight back." 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

A reminder to those of us trying to "buy Canadian" amid these ridiculous and harmful tariffs - make sure you're looking for Canadian media as well! Many Canadians do not realize that most of our major media options are American-owned. #CBC #Canada

Check out this list of Canadian bicycle makers!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 #boycott #buyCanadian #canadastrong #elbowsup

#WeAreCanadian #WeAreAllJeff #Not51stAnything #Never51 #ChooseCanada #BoycottUS Thanks Jeff Douglas aka Joe from Molson's wildly popular "I am Canadian!" television commercials for representing what it means to be Canadian 🇨🇦 youtu.be/_OzbmriDgQc?...

Since no one in Canada is buying American, I think grocery stores should donate all American products to our food banks. 💪🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp #MadeInCanada

Great note on the value and impact of the @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

If you’re #TeamCanada, pass it on.

Support, buy, promote Canadian 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp

As the United States launches an imperialist trade war against Canada and Mexico, it’s time for countries to come together to form an alliance against the US — and that includes rapidly curtailing their dependence on Silicon Valley. The US can’t be allowed to get away with this.
