This detailed and lengthy Facebook post is a good glimpse into why Canadians are so pissed about the 51st state / annexation rhetoric. I've screenshotted it into 3 parts. www.facebook.com/gonzo.geneal... #Canada #ElbowsUp

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1460

The Great Lakes hold 23 quadrillion litres of water and 20% of the world's fresh surface water supply. But how did Canada and the USA determine the border between the Great Lakes and also agree on the use of the lakes? Let's learn about the treaties! 🧵1/10

Canada, this US Citizen says, I am so fucking sorry Please believe millions of us didn't vote for this bullshit

The Tesla Takedown protests were so, so smart. Identified his weak point clearly and easily, advanced with stunning organization and messaging consistency. Master class.

That is an incredible number of people who were matched with a doc last year, after BC changed its fee structure to incentivize family medicine

All provinces and territories have now signed on to Canada's National Food Program to ensure more children have access to nutritious school meals. In BC, the $39.4 million in federal funding (over 3 years) will enhance school food programs at more than 1,000 schools across the province 🍽️

Shapiro’s current cause is getting Derek Chauvin—the police officer who murdered George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for nine minutes while Floyd gasped “I can’t breathe”—pardoned. It is unconscionable that the premier of Alberta is meeting with him, especially using taxpayer dollars.

Trump also tipped his hand again today about what matters to him & what he responds to. He reacted strongly to energy - clearly one of our strongest chips. He praised Doug Ford as a strong leader. He respects strength. He fears the damage we can do to him with energy (and potash). Act accordingly.

There has been one politician in Canada who has been clearly weak on responding to Trump, and it's Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. Well now she's fundraising for some of Trump's most popular cheerleaders.

I now genuinely think that Canada should have a policy that for every time Trump mentioned his horrible 51st state fantasy, tariffs should increase by 1%. Each time, within the hour.

Canadians used to complain about never getting any attention in Washington.

Mahmoud Khalil showcases an ugly thing about America: freedom of speech (and religion) poll very well in the abstract but if you probe with specific examples of things people don’t like the support falls through the floor. The default is “freedom for things I agree with, for the rest, the lash.”

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that Teslas are priced to move with $0 down and no payments for 48 months

The real hurt begins and as a nation we need to be there for each other and support targeted industries. Short term - any support will do. Long term - help these industries diversify markets. This is both a moral imperative and necessary to hold a united front over the long term.

Another reason why the CBC is, while flawed, an essential service.

💸 Millions wasted. ❌No accountability. The UCP spent MILLIONS on unusable PPE from a company with no medical supply history. Now, it’s costing Albertans over $5M in storage fees. Danielle Smith and Adriana LaGrange keep deflecting blame. Demand better: CorruptCare.ca youtube.com/shorts/lfjCq...

Get fucked, Peter.

Looks like someone took it upon themselves to update the product descriptions in at least one Toronto location. (Via Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/ontario/co... )

Kudos, stranger ❤️ www.facebook.com/share/p/1Btz... #Calgary

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants." In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

Exactly one year ago, I decided to run for Leader of Alberta's New Democrats. And what a year it's been! Thank you for your support, Alberta! #BetterisPossible

"This little beauty's a real peach. Owned by a Sunday school teacher. I swear to God. Tell ya what Imma gonna do: normally, I'd ask $20,000, but you got nice tits so I'll knockers—tee hee—the price down $300. I'll throw in the plaid floor mats. Only slightly stained. Quick! This won't last long."

People are changing the labels on Wayne G's wine: "a merlot that is sad and 2 faced" "as weak as the name-sakes moral fibre." There is a reason why Canadians dominate comedy - we are wickedly funny. And when push comes to shove we play for keeps (ie. Kharmalov's ankle). Sucks to be you Wayne.

Trudeau: We didn't ask for this. But we'll fight back. Ford: Here's some tariffs for you, my friend. Kinew: We will not do business with US firms. Canada stands united. Smith: What should I wear to my Ben Shapiro interview?

Here’s how new U.S. rules will affect Canadian snowbirds Just STOP travelling to the US www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Under this theory, Marco Rubio can expel Canadians who say “you should stop threatening to annex Canada.”

Hey friends, I came across this in someones timeline. Never a truer word spoken about Mr Dicktator!!! Please share so those that voted for this nightmare can feel publicly shamed!Everyone deserves peace and morality in their lives. Well except the MAGATS that voted for this shit show. Repost, Linda💞

I’m so grateful to have parents who made sure I got vaccinated.

Go Sweden! 🇸🇪

Funny....All of a sudden, no one's performing arbitrary sex-change operations on unexpecting grade-schoolers anymore.

Get in loser, we're tanking the economy

Canada saw a 24.2 per cent jump in public EV charging stations between March 2024 and 2025 electricautonomy.ca/charging/202...

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau. For your hard work, for your leadership, and for your great service to our country.
