(Bloomberg) — Mark Carney won the race to become Canada’s next prime minister, putting the former central banker in charge of the country just as US President Donald Trump’s administration threatens its economic future. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

So - my first post on here was 2 months ago with the “ Joe - I am Canadian” ad. Well it’s evolved!! youtu.be/_OzbmriDgQc?... #cdnpoli #USpoli #never51 #proudcanadian

It takes a unique kind of genius to fuck up the US-Canada relationship.

Canada should just start emulating US bourbon at scale and call it that. US law protects the name “bourbon,” as an America-made booze; and so does our Spirit Drinks Trade Act. Who cares? Stop enforcing the law. Repeal it. Let the Golden Era of Great Canadian Bourbon begin! t.co/hV3a08iefO

It’s happening. Good bye ⁦Jack Daniels. US booze being removed from ⁦LCBO. 👍👍👍 #cdnpoli #onpoli

One of those days- just winding it down - So I’m having myself a smoky old fashion - minus the American bourbon- using Canadian Whisky instead. I apologize to my US friends and family - but country first. #vivelecanada #never51 #cdnpoli

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

Deeply aghast at what happened today in the Oval Office with Prez Zelensky. As a 🇨🇦 I am shocked that you would treat others that way….but with that guy - not surprised. Democracy, alliances and moral leadership aren’t supposed to be this fragile. #Ukraine #cdnpoli #USpol.

Quick reminder: you have to verify yourself by March 7th to vote for the next leader of the Liberal Party. Our country is ready for change. Now let’s make it happen, together: markcarney.ca/verify

There’s been so much interest in from US 🇺🇸health workers and jobs in Canada that I’m posting recruitment links for all 10 provinces and 3 territories: 🧵 #healthcarejobs🇨🇦

This is Canada, and Canadians will decide our future. This is the greatest country in the world — and together we can make it even better. www.youtube.com/watch?v=83wV...

Put a new #Canadianflag up today to celebrate our flag. Happy Canada Flag day everyone. Except for that orange fellow south of us. He can go #### ####### (feel free to use your imagination ) #CanadastrongandFree

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand. They see Canada, and the best of our values. Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

Nice!!!!! theconversation.com/attempting-t...

This piece is excellent. Take a few minutes and give it a read. Annexing Canada would initiate am insurgency that would destroy the US, argues UofT professor Aisha Ahmad. theconversation.com/why-annexing...

Fuck you, you cosplaying shits

The tariff threat has passed for now, but living next to Donald Trump is a Canadian crisis, and it might be making us realize that this beat-up, imperfect country is damned well worth fighting for. Because it sure as hell is. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

For the first time in my 55 trips around the sun - I read every label while grocery shopping. Everything I bought was made/grown in 🇨🇦, Morocco, Peru & Mexico. Nothing from my neighbours-I didn’t realize I was a big consumer of US product-that changed today. #buyCanadian #neverimaginedthis #sad

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks: "We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

Ugh. Another day in paradise…. But I’ll take it! With all of the bad news out there….cold is the least of our worries. Stay warm out there friends. 🇨🇦 #neighbOurs #130daysbeforemotorcycleseason

So - to all of my American friends on here. What happens if there is a blizzard and or an awful snowstorm in Washington DC on Monday. Do things still go ahead? #cantwatchwhatyoucantsee #sendingmy🇨🇦winterfeels

Libraries rock!

Happy Winter Solstice Day from Northern Ontario 🇨🇦 - the motorcycle rider in me is counting down the 89 days until the Spring Soltice! Happy shovelling everyone!

51st state? Uh, Sorry, but that would be a hard “no”. I think the majority of us up here would agree - and here’s a video that I think explains my answer…🇨🇦 youtu.be/WMxGVfk09lU?...
