I feel privileged to be a Canadian. Rural Saskatchewan can be lonely, good to see so many likeminded humans here. Progressive Gen X mom of 2 young adults.

We've had months of notice that trade war is coming yet all Scott Moe has done is twiddle his thumbs & dodge questions. It's pathetic. Why are you so scared of doing your job Moe? Get to work or get out of the way. Gordie said #ElbowsUp not Hands Under Asses😑 #skpoli

Seeing friends and family defending Trump on Facebook right now is baffling. Growing up, some things were just know to be true: Nazis, Russia, corruption and pollution were bad. Vaccination, cooperation and helping those in need was good. We live in a different world now. What happened?

In which a Nobel prize winning economist tries to figure out Trump’s animus towards Canada, and concludes, reasonably, it’s because Trump just can’t stand decency. #Elbowsup open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

It doesn’t make you poor to acknowledge you are not in the ruling class it makes you in the majority.

My husband and I dedicated many hours to Telemiracle over the years. It is a great Saskatchewan charity that helps people all over the province. Stream it at Telemiracle.com and give if you can.

Canadian Farmers speak out against Carbon Capture - The National Farmers Union "opposes the use of CCS projects to extend the social license of fossil fuel corporations to continue with their ‘business-as-usual’ operations.” nfu.ca/prairie-farm... #CDNPoli #ABLeg #CCS #CCUS #ClimateChange

Freedom Convoy losers threw a tantrum over not getting to hit up Red Robin, but now Trump’s threatening Canada with tariffs & annexation and they’re silent-or worse, cheering it on? So much for 'Canadian pride.' Turns out it was never about freedom, just vibes. Embarrassing. 🤡🍁

Question for people planning to vote in the Liberal leadership election: Anyone else still waiting for their identity to be verified? Wondering if it’s because my land location and mailing address differ? Or because riding boundaries are changing? I hate being in limbo and not knowing why.

Abortion is healthcare. So called pro-lifers are misogynists. We cannot elect leaders in Canada who would take away reproductive freedom based on religious beliefs.

This is an excellent 🧵. Thank you, Rosalyn Roy #cdnpoli

No Canadian, and especially no Canadian journalist who works for the national broadcaster, should be giving any breath to this discourse, except to vehemently reject it. Canada is a sovereign nation and any suggestion otherwise cannot be tolerated, lest it become normalized.

Why is the media acting like this is all normal?!

Pretty sweet win tonight for Canada. It was a close game but the good guys definitely won. 🇨🇦🏆 #4Nations

Meet the Canadians who support U.S. annexation: this 42 year old accountant sucks shit

Where are my Canadian sisters?? As Canadian women, let's use our collective voices to take a stand!! 🇨🇦🍁 #womenagainstpoilievre

Watching Team Canada vs USA, feeling like so much is on the line with this hockey game. #GoCanadaGo 🇨🇦

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. 🇨🇦

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

Please enjoy my cartoon for Friday's Toronto Star

I couldn’t agree more. All Canadians should be on #TeamCanada regardless of their political beliefs.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Criminals, Crackpots and Christo-fascists support Poilievre

This toxicity is also spreading to Canada. A Conservative future is one where Canadian women are repressed by force (legal, social, economic, criminal). Poilievre, like Trump, courts the most mediocre men in order to prop up the richest men, who flatter them with something to feel superior about.

Encourage folks to do better: "Make no mistake: The R-word is hate speech. It’s a slur against people with intellectual disabilities. But somehow, it’s still sneaking its way into everyday conversation, social media posts—& even hit TV shows." From @thearcus.bsky.social: thearc.org/blog/the-r-w...

I ordered a gift online in November before the mail strike. GLS picked up the package in Quebec and claim they passed it on to Frontier who don’t deliver to my small town. They were supposed to pass it on to another courier company. The package is MIA. Canada Post cannot be replaced.
