When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up." It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team. You heard him Canada: elbows up. If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

Facts 👇👇👇

If it walks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi, and salutes like a Nazi… Keep the online pressure up, friends. And boycott Tesla. Find out more about local protests at teslatakedown.com

Mike Myers, Canadian legend, on SNL tonight.

Australian newspaper "The Sun-Herald" opinion piece calls it out. American msm, take notes.

Proud of our Prime Minister right now.

As Donald Trump turns the United States into one of the closest allies Russia has worldwide, it's worth revisiting the news item below, which came out immediately after Trump won a surprising victory in November:

A reminder for these times.

Canadian here. I have never even seen a gun in real life. Have never had the desire to own a weapon. With the unhinged, disrespectful, vile rhetoric of the current U.S. Orange buffoon president…sorry make that dictator…I will be looking into arming myself because this Canadian will not go quietly.

He refused to bend the knee to Putin's Puppet and Couchfucker McGee. SLAVA UKRAINI!🌻💪

Andrew Tate: “I'm very close with the Trump family. I know them well. I spoke to Barron after the incident [In Butler]. I look forward to once I'm free being with Donald Trump in person."

Hahahahaaa that GOT reference is spot on!

Well, well, well... the troll who crashed the peaceful protest for Ukraine outside the Russian embassy the other day is a fan boy of Pierre Poilievre. No surprise there. Poilievre and the Conservatives voted against the military aid for Ukraine.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald… you’ve have made America sign up with Russia... At one point, that would have been considered the act of a traitor. How do you defend this betrayal of your allies to the American people? If you think Canada is going to break right now, you’re in for a big shock.

R.I.P. David Johansen, the last surviving original member of the New York Dolls. After fronting the iconic glam punk band in the early ‘70s, the NYC musician found mainstream success in the late ‘80s, scoring the hit “Hot Hot Hot” as Buster Poindexter and acting in the movie ‘Scrooged.’ He was 75.

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

‘Over the course of a single contentious meeting, the president departs the world stage and cedes the century to Russia and China.’ apple.news/A7cdgqS9JQRu...

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

Remember.

Couldn’t agree more.

This is what the resistance looks like. The protesters for Ukraine are the best of our nation. Good Canadians. Every day, they stand peacefully outside the Russian Embassy fence which is strung with barbed wire. Russian staff wear MAGA hats. I stand with Ukraine. I oppose the Putin/Trump gang.

Charlie for Prime Minister!

Russia's useful idiot on full display today. That said, we knew that about him. Republicans in the House and Senate, was it enough to finally convince you to stand up for and protect and defend America?

Trump is such a loser

Zelenskyy is the real deal.

NYT [Feb 28] -- New TV shows like Norman Lear's "Clean Slate" which has Laverne Cox as a "son" returning to her Alabama family as a trans women imagine a society that accepts trans people as routine. [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

This new reporting is a very big deal. The previously reported number for the amount of money Elon Musk has gotten from the government—us—was slightly over $18 billion. We now know the figure is $38 billion. When you consider how much of Musk's wealth is actually liquid—very little—that is a ton.

Feb 28 is the national boycott of American companies. Tomorrow I am holding a press conference with Quebec Amazon employees who were fired by Jeff Bezos. He is a toxic oligarch and a pal of Trump. I am calling on all Canadians to support the Amazon workers and boycott this shitty company.

We need to tax them until they bleed

Bezos shut down the Washington Post editorial page today. There’s no reason to read anything that’s just a dictate from a Trumpist billionaire. The Post editorial page is now as good—that is, as useless—as state-sponsored media. A disgrace the paper will never outlive.

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat. I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza. "Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land." BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

Trans rights are human rights. Seriously how hard is it to let a person live their truth.

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

Same.

Yessssss.

Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it? You try to destroy our democracy. You try to crush dissent. You threaten members of Congress with arrest."

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.
