We kicked holocaust denier Ernst Zündel out of Canada. Why the hell would we let Elon Musk have any claim on Canada? He is a fascist threatening the people of Ukraine. I am proud to be helping drive this asshole from our shores. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

I think that if Sundays 51st State show airs, there should be a push to cancel Cross Country Checkup entirely. #CanPoli

Canadian media: Stop normalizing Trump’s 51st State propaganda An editorial by @taylornoakes.bsky.social.

I have always been a supporter of public broadcasting - NPR, PBS, the BBC and the CBC. Things like this are making me question that position. Whoever thought this was a good idea, should be fired.

Don’t post front facing pictures of yourself maskless at protests. Don’t post front facing pictures of other people maskless at protests. **Especially** ppl of color. Seeing that all over with the Tesla stuff. You eagerly wanting to be seen doing something endangers both yourself and others.

Yet another reason for Rob Ford to tear up the Starlink deal - no matter what happens with tariffs - it will always be up to Musk whether they work or not. #OnPoli

If you live anywhere near surprise Arizona be on the lookout for Betty Thorne who claimed to be an undercover cop, assaulted a lesbian couple and tried to take their daughter because they must be human traffickers.

A new @reuters.com poll finds Americans have a dim view of many of the Trump administration's blizzard of executive actions, including the Jan. 6 pardons and his effort to limit birthright citizenship. But they *really* don't like the Gulf of America thing. www.reuters.com/world/us/ame...

The 'freedom convoy' never really loved Canada www.nationalobserver.com/2025/02/21/o...

It's almost like, when cleaning your house, you should think about what stuff is and why you have it before throwing it away.

Beyond betrayal.

Just a reminder that the Proud Boys were listed as a terrorist group in Canada in 2021 - if any of them crossed the border, just being here would be sufficient grounds to arrest them.

If someone hits you with the rumored $5k Musk/Doge stimulus cheque BS, mention that it would cost $1.7 trillion (USD) or roughly one-third of the 2024 US federal budget.

Within his first month back in power, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly taken Russia's side on a host of issues. But Trump’s world moves fast, and it’s hard to remember everything. So here’s our recap. 👉 www.politico.eu/article/dona...

Sure, he's high and he has been watching that Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl bit a LOT.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

Grimes is still Canadian - just come on home, we'll take care of the medical crisis (we'll even do a GoFundMe or something if need be.) www.nme.com/news/music/g...

Should Canadians really be talking about admitting California as a province, or should we do the sensible thing and recognize it (along with Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Nevada) as part of occupied Mexico?

Space X is entirely dependent on govt. contracts and more companies are competing with it. Teslas are expensive cars - poorly made, Starlink satellites are de-orbiting faster than they go up and Twitter is Twitter. The 2024 election may have been as much of a Hail Mary for Musk as it was for Trump.

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

make litters of babies and then force their mothers to apologetically beg for your attention on social media like only the very best fathers do

Love me some cold weather reading. Love me some Adbusters. @adbusters.bsky.social

A former commander of an International Space Station mission counters Elon Musk’s misinformation about the current ISS mission. Musk lashes out and calls him “fully retarded” and an “idiot.”

Trump touts the “fairness” of his reciprocal tariff plan, but in reality the tax will hit low-income households the hardest and cost the average American household around $2,000.

This will likely be the end of the James Bond franchise not just because they'll Americanize Bond (dumb it down and remove anything Evangelical televangelists might find offensive) but because Hollywood treats intellectual property the same way American Industry treats natural resources ...

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.
