Daniel Smith, any reason why there is a Sheriff with an assault rifle beside you at a US tariffs statement? Has it not sunken in that 0.2% of fentanyl enters US from Canada? No announcement on energy? Good comments on supporting Team Canada. Thank you for that! #cdnpoli #ableg

Doug Ford may be blasting Trump over tariffs now—but a hot mic last year caught him admitting he was all in for Trump to win a second term.

This week in 1981, The Who released their final hit song, "You Better You Bet." It was the 4th video ever played on MTV and the first video to be played twice.

Military aid to Ukraine has always been a bargain for the U.S. We degraded Russia’s armed forces and replaced our own stockpiles with brand new weapons, all while brave Ukrainians— not Americans—fought the Russians off. Halting that aid is not only morally repulsive, it’s plain stupid.

Jackson Browne’s debut album was a game-changer. From a title mix-up to Doctor, My Eyes being a much darker song, here are five little-known facts about this 1972 classic that make it even more legendary. zurl.co/L3uYK

Totally!! That's why I love CKUA Radio. 16 transmitters across Alberta and around the world via streaming. #eclecticmusic

We need music more than ever today!

I pity a regime that chooses the Canadian and American people as enemies. Trumped indeed.

Dang... rewind tomorrow.

Chris Hadfield's hometown is where I was born, but I've lived all over. Now just east of the Rockies at the edge of the prairies.

In a world rocked by chaos, there is order in lines, where geometric predictability helps us know where we’re going and how we’ll get there. There’s comfort in the ruler-straight, and trust in the unseen hands that built it right. Trust. We need more of it. #boyntonbeach #throwback

The human rights situation in Georgia is alarming. 🚨🇬🇪 Today marks 94 days of pro-democracy protests against government repression. The UN is offering grants for local NGOs. If you know one, share this so they don’t miss out! ⚖️💙 #HumanRights #Georgia #Democracy 🔗 www.undp.org/georgia/news...

Thank you Charlie Angus for a clinic on how to stand up to fascists! Keep protesting, keep resisting. 🇨🇦🇺🇦🙏

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

The world has witnessed the most disgraceful political tantrum of all time. Trump is not the leader of the "free world." He is convicted felon who doesn't deserve to be in the same room as President Zelenskyy. There is no going along to get along with this thug. Canada needs to stand with Ukraine.

It's my understanding the current administration was humiliated by its betters today, an observation that will be evergreen for the next three years, ten months

That press conference with Zelenskyy and Trump in the Oval Office - If you didn't think Trump was Team Putin before, yikes - Keir Starmer now looks like the kid who thinks he's friends with the bully but you know it's only a matter of time before he gets pantsed - Zelenskyy must be exhausted

Watching Son of a Critch tonight I was reminded that I most likely still owed money to Columbia House 😬 Thank goodness they went out of business Bonus points to the episode for a Littlest Hobo reference too!

Over 300,000 Canadians have signed the petition to strip Elon Musk of citizenship. The petition doesn't have the force of law but it sends a strong message. Canadians hate fascists and extremists. It's in our DNA. Let's make it the largest petition in CDN history. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Just a REMINDER ... POSTMEDIA is owned by CHATHAM ASSET MANAGEMENT, which has VERY, VERY close ties to the US Republican Party. So is the National Post. Are YOU a traitor to Canada, Brian Lilley? Asking for a friend ...

I like mine with ketchup, but hey either way it's a Bacon Sandwich!!! 😀

Please sign petition today!
