You know things are really bad when South Korea feels bad you have a crazy neighbor.

Pierre Poilievre is just like RFK JR. He doesn't care if you get sick. He'll gut public health care. #Carney2025 #cdnpoli

Musk and Trump could not possibly be sending a clearer signal that the Tesla protests are working than this pathetic stunt today.

Let’s play a game called is this the Dow Jones, Tesla stock, or Pierre Poilievre’s approval rating??

there’s this very american idea that everything we do to fight facism must be “productive” and “results-driven” in order for it to be meaningful as if the act of calling out injustice is not worthwhile on its own.

There were still probably a dozen or so Canadians who hadn't already changed their vacation plans but this ought to take care of that

And there's a British tourist who was held for 10 days in Washington as well. Cancelling plans to visit the US seems wise at this point. I have yet to see a US publication cover this.

For American friends of Canada, this is our 91 year-old former PM Jean Chrétien with a direct message for the Orange Felon (24:17): "From one old guy to another, STOP THIS NONSENSE!" Then he talks about manners & the Trump family's lack thereof. A+ youtu.be/IkW6D0HRN0U?...

#ICYMI Jonathan Fowler, who would now be 38, was last seen in 2019. The $50,000 reward is offered for information leading to an arrest & conviction of those responsible for the disappearance of the #Picton man. #PEC #KFLA #YGK #CrimeNews #Missing Details: www.kingstonist.com/news/50k-rew...

I know I can be cruel towards Americans right now, I believe since I served 3 tours of duty with Americans after 911, I have the right to speak my mind. Here some of my friend who died for you in Afghanistan, hope theirs sacrifice was not in vain.

As Pierre Poilievre lectures Canadians on ethics, it’s useful to recall: ❌He violated the Canada Elections Act ❌He was in charge of the “Robocalls”scandal ❌He’s the only party leader without security clearance ❌He promoted crypto investment while holding personal Bitcoin

Using AI to scan the social media posts of students at U.S. universities and then punish them for their views is discriminatory and a direct attack on our freedom of speech.

I’d like to announce my forthcoming US history book, covering a decisive but tumultuous era in that country’s history, titled “The trade policies of the United States: 10:30 am to 1:30 pm on Friday, March 7, 2025” It will be 400 pages.

Mark Carney event in Montreal 🇨🇦

I walked out of a faculty senate town hall on the administration's attempt to blow up higher education this evening, looked up in the sky to see the debris from Musk's spaceship blowing up over the Bahamas and South Florida.

What do U need to know about #measles? www.cbc.ca/radio/podcas...

The governor general should declare a 24 holiday across canada so we can all just go to the bar and talk. Meet you at the Legion, whoever's there first order a pitcher.

BREAKING: Senile Man Has No Idea What He is Doing

The second worse thing about this tariff business is having to agree with Doug Ford so much.

Stay strong, Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and many more 🙏🏽❤️

That’s de Adder 's Take: buff.ly/9ZsYZOM

You can’t overstate the historic importance of today’s speech to both American and Canadian citizens by Canada’s Prime Minister. Please watch it and share it wherever you live, but especially if you’re in the United States. You need to know what Trump is doing, and why. youtu.be/wz_42pckM7w

While I may have had my differences with the PM at times, his remarks today are excellent, and represent the views of most Canadians #elbowsup #standwithukraine

Democratic lawmakers should stage a walkout tonight during the State of the Union. This feels like common sense.

You might not hear this on U.S. media, but it’s really important — what Ukrainian President Zelenskyy was trying hard to explain that Ukraine needs in any peace agreement, before all that unhinged yelling started in the White House. Given the history, it’s quite reasonable. youtu.be/3aBMl4N0Vq0?...

Trump’s murderous freezing of aid that Congress enacted a law to send to Ukraine unconstitutionally usurps the power of the purse, violates the 1974 Impoundment Act, and is an impeachable “high crime and misdemeanor” akin to the extortion for which the Senate should have convicted Trump in 2020.

I didn't know Skype was shuttering. I've kept this screen open since Dec 7, 2020; this was the last 1h 22m 14s of my mom's life. She was a children's librarian; I was reading her some of her favorite kids' books & saying goodbye as she died of Covid. Please don't forget what 2020 was really like.

Polish Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Wałęsa and 38 other former political prisoners of Poland's communist regime have condemned Donald Trump's treatment of Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, which they said reminded them of communist interrogation techniques

I once met the leader of our country. I was wearing just an ordinary t-shirt, and he didn't care whether I was dressed up in a suit or not.

ᓄᓇᕗᑦ ᑲᔾᔮᕐᓇᖅᑐᖅ Nunavut Kajjaarnaqtuq The beauty of Nunavut is breathtaking, beautiful, makes you stop and be in awe. I cannot say in one word how to translate kajjaaq into English. These images are but a small sample of its beauty.

A thing I wish more people knew is that measles is basically the most contagious disease in the world

Three years ago, I had the honour of collaborating with Ukrainian dancers from Edmonton via a virtual meeting. They taught me some Ukrainian dance moves, and I taught them some Bhangra moves. I'm sharing the video today in solidarity because standing with the oppressed is standing for lasting peace.

A lot of the same people who told me that “Canada will be fine” the day after the U.S. Election in November are the ones telling me that Canada will be fine if Pierre Poilievre wins the Canadian election this year.

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.

Freedom and democracy are always worth fighting for. Slava Ukraini.
