🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦 Go Canada

I hate this arrogant narrative, like threatening Canada/Greenland is unimportant. It’s just unimportant TO YOU, as typically navel gazing Americans. It’s important to US, the people being threatened.

I very seriously and actually agree

I have a hard time laughing this off as just a joke… The US president-elect has already signed off on one illegal annexation (Israel’s claim to the Golan Heights) and seems content to allow another (Crimea and the other Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine)…

There had been nothing like this since the cabinet revolt against John Diefenbaker in 1963.

“It should not therefore be expected that this kind of nation, this Canada, should project itself as a mirror image of the United States.”🇨🇦 — Pierre Elliott Trudeau🌹

On top of over approx 5,000,000 barrels of oil per day Canada exports electricity to the USA. This could get REAL UGLY, REAL QUICK. #cdnpoli #onpoli #peipoli

Good to see a united front taking shape again in Canada despite considerable ideological space and partisan animosity between the levels of government

What’s more valuable than oil to the US and hard to get? Oil? Minerals? In our opinion, no. Water. Who was at the table with Trump and Trudeau? Pipeline execs. 2+2 = the Trump/Elon likely coming for our water Who would facilitate that? Poilievre/Ford en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_A...

Funny, to some. But this is echoes how Xi Jinping speaks about Taiwan (and how Vladimir Putin used to speak about Ukraine)… bullies normalizing the idea that they can push a neighbour around…

These Trump Cabinet nominations. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people

Canada under Pierre Poilievre: -Retirement security gone. -CBC gone. -Environmental protections gone. -Rebates gone. -Universal healthcare gone. -Dental care gone. -Sensible gun laws gone. -Affordable childcare gone. -Proven and experienced leadership gone. #NeverPoilievre 🇨🇦

Very excited for Danielle Smith's Alberta border patrol to wander around and maybe find some cool rocks
