This #51stState talk is clearly nonsense, but why is nobody talking about the real option: an economic union? Why is Canada subjugated in every scenario? A legally possible, mutually beneficial supranational union like the EU—preserved sovereignty with binding legislative & judicial bodies. #cdnpoli

Why are we even entertaining the 51st state question, @ianhanomansing.bsky.social? Put aside how flagrantly casual everyone is being about our sovereignty, for which people have fought and died, for a second—it’s not even a possible scenario! #CrossCountryCheckup

Maine for 11th province! 🇨🇦

🇨🇦 Morning Laugh 🇨🇦

Of course the swamp monster is the one who said they’d drain the swamp.

The Nazis will Nazi until we punch them in the face.

🇨🇦 This one is worth going back on X, to extract a fellow Canadian from the war zone and bring him to @bsky.app. Tag @rickmercer on X!

@itsrickmercer.bsky.social If this account is really RM, I suggest posting something on your X channel @rickmercer pointing to this URL. If not, we can assume it's a fake account. Sorry – Canadians don't let Canadians get impersonated on Blue Sky.

So she dropped out of two races? #onpoli

If desperately reframing “career politician” is all the Director of Communications for the Conservative Party has, you know they’re scrambling. #cdnpoli

Was Facebook even worth using anymore anyway? I could ditch it and probably not even notice.

30+16=46. #FPTPFTW

🏆 No notes. Chef’s kiss, @jdcmedlock.bsky.social.

We need the Rick Mercer Report back. Now more than ever. Canada needs its Jon Stewart. #RMR #CBC

Hi @bsky.app.. edit button please.

Not in Canada. 🤷‍♂️ Used 4 this morning .. poached two (medium not well done), and turned the others into hollandaise for Florentine. That would have been $4 CAD in eggs alone by US prices. Cost me $1 ($0.70 USD).

The community note 🤌😘

No, we shouldn’t boo the American anthem. But dont forget, we also finish it for them. youtu.be/R18h5NmmhQc?...

Canada vs USA #4nations hockey, on flag day. Face-off fight, and 2 more in the first 5. This is going to be a wild game.

Happy Flag Day, Canada. Let’s take it back! 🇨🇦

Looks like we need to explain strategic voting to GenZ, critical thinking to Millennials, basic economics to Gen X, and convince Boomers to tell their kids the "Conservatives were progressive in my day" story.

Ontario NDP candidate drops out to prevent vote splitting in her riding. Profoundly honourable. I would love to see it catch on. If the Liberals and NDP (federally, as well as in Ontario) could agree to pull 3rd place candidates in competitive ridings, they could drastically improve their odds.

At least they warn you of what‘s to come.

I know Elon has claimed he’s on the spectrum, and people have various theories on it, but what if he’s just a racist asshole who’s high on ketamine all the time?

Even if we wanted to (we don’t), or were “economically pressured” to (we won’t be), we couldn’t give Canada to the US (legally). So they’d have to try to take it, which would require congress (not happening), and would turn every NATO country against them. #51stState

Imagine... a foreign country simply claiming that your nation is now theirs. Things were friendly, but now your land is strategically advantageous to them. You are defenceless, and their autocracy has no guardrails to stop their encroachment. Imagine what that would be like. 🪶🇨🇦

23% of Americans voted for Trump (31% of eligible voters). But if the other 77% don't do something, 100% of Americans are to blame for the mess he makes. #uspoli #tariffwar
