"The European Movement feel it is time to campaign for a European Movement Canada.

Every Canadian needs to read this. What Trump is trying to do to Canada is nothing new. One of America's least remembered and least successful presidents William McKinnley (one of Trump's heroes) tried to use tariffs to annex Canada in the 1890s. It failed spectacularly then too. #ElbowsUp

The 🇨🇦🇺🇸 trade war isn’t about border security “After weeks of near-daily flights, the RCMP's much-hyped Black Hawk helicopters have been used to stop one illegal border crossing from the U.S. into Canada since patrolling began in January” apple.news/AckdoxXJEQ9a...

And South Africa, they’re also taking a lot of hits right now — and make some excellent wines.

McKinley tried to annex Canada through terrifs. He was assassinated BTW. History 😊 time.com/7212675/tari...

This song isn't new - it's ... 20? 25? 30? years old but it's time to get it back onto playlists. #ElbowsUp

Also, true story

We've confirmed the US Bureau of Prisons has transferred trans women to men's prisons despite three court rulings blocking Trump's executive order “I’m continuing to be punished for existing. I'm a pawn in others' political games" -Whitney, 31-year-old woman taken to men's prison this week, told us

If you're in Eastern Canada, EU membership should be especially appealing since we would need to make massive investments in roads, rail, harbours and ships all along the East Coast.

Finally, social media that's billionaire-proof. ⚡ Bluesky's first IRL ads spotted in @boston.gov @mbta.com.

We’re strongest when we are united.

Sign this petition to ban Twitter / X in Canada before Elon has a chance to interfere with out upcoming election #ElbowsUp #CanPoli www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Despicable. These poor stranded folks:

Canada MIGHT be willing to renegotiate the border, it depends on which US states Trump is trying to get rid of. #ElbowsUp

strong agree thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

the United States, as it was is over - not because Trump won but because leaders in Washington have allowed him to tear up the social contract and the Constitution. They have violated their oath of office (all but a few Dems) and all of that means, the rules - none of the rules - apply any more.

This is one of the reasons that Canadians are never going to buy US Dairy. The United States is extremely under-regulated and what few regulations exist are seldom enforced. #ElbowsUp

Meta next

There are Democrats who voted to censure Al Green? Just become a Republican you assholes.

Fact check: US #fentanyl deaths began falling during the last year of the Biden administration. Only 0.2% of US border fentanyl seizures came from Canada. Almost all came across the Mexican border and over 80% of those arrested were US citizens.

The next PM should set up a program to grant permanent resident status to people from the US who could fill jobs where Canada has shortages (including doctors, nurses, scientists, engineers, military and intelligence personnel). #CanPoli

SpaceX is actually ACME, isn’t it

It's time for Canada, and Canada's resources to flow in a new direction.

The thing that I don't think Trump realizes (and Canada's leaders may not know yet either) is that it's really too late for governments or trade agreements to fix the damage here. Millions of Canadians will be boycotting American goods and American travel regardless. #CanPoli

I think about few books as frequently as this one.

BREAKING: Elon Musk's rocket explosion nearly hit a commercial flight. This kind of content is being downranked on X. Please share it here. This is so dangerous.

Canadians, I know we're getting a new PM in a few days but contact Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Marc Miller and tell him to get started on a plan for Ukranian refugees threatened with deportation in the U.S. #CanPoli www.ourcommons.ca/members/en/m...

It takes a unique kind of genius to fuck up the US-Canada relationship.
