We're in uncharted territory. We need leaders who won't waffle under pressure from the U.S. It's that simple. I predicted back in late 2024 that the next election would not be on the carbon tax but on who best can deal with the U.S. Now, I add our sovereignty as another connected reason #cdnpoli

American leaders are surprised that Canada's pushing back. Methinks they didn't realize that just because we're polite doesn't mean we won't fight back when threatened. They poked the bear. Woke us from a long hibernation as a country. We're ready to defend our sovereignty 🇨🇦💪🏻 #ViveLeCanada #cdnpoli

"Civil defence is the ability of an entire society to withstand crisis - whether military, cyber, economic or environmental. [...] In the event of an emergency, the population is trained, infrastructure is resilient, and communities can function without immediate government assistance." #cdnpoli 🇨🇦💪🏻

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻American banks can operate in Canada and they already do. They just need to abide by regulations. You know the ones that helped ensure that the 2008 financial collapse didn’t devastate us like it did the US 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The whole exchange was disgusting and disresectful to Ukraine and President Zelenskyy, and it pulled the mask off of the presidency. This also shows the world exactly where America stands on Ukraine and world security. It's shocking just how bad this was.

I sense this is what we get with right-leaning governments of late. Or maybe this is a catalyst of end-stage capitalism. Build apathy to the point that only the "right" can save us & fight for a dying way of life that helps no one but the rich & elite. Something's gotta give. The question is, when?

I'm disappointed as an Ontarian tonight. Things could have been so different for all of Ontario #onpoli

I’m gutted about the Conservative majority in Ontario. So many of us without healthcare, affordable housing, access to proper social supports etc. The rich & privileged voted to screw over everyone else. Tonight’s a good night to revisit my spoon saving article, as this result robbed me of spoons

I had a feeling this might happen. As part of his push to annex Canada, this might be the next step they'd consider. But let's do something unexpected. Let's invest in #CANZUK. I'm sure the UK, Australia, and New Zealand wouldn't be too thrilled with this news affecting their Commonwealth ally...

Some really great ideas that are practical to do if we have the will to do it (both politically and economically). A new world order is beginning. We need to prepare ourselves for it. More in the thread ⤵️

For the folks in the back who haven't heard me until now. This is not a joke. It has never been a joke. Annexing Canada is what he wants to do. The U.S. is no longer a friend and ally, but our greatest national security threat, and a threat to our sovereignty. Full stop #cdnpoli

Started this week into my next book (after about a month's hiatus since finishing #Rivals 🥰), and I'm really loving it. The latest in Tessa Bailey's "Big Shots" series is #DreamGirlDrama. It's so good, and Sig and Chloe are my new fave slow burn romance. 10/10 definitely recommend. #Romance #Booksky

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The U.S. is no longer Canada's ally but our enemy and the greatest threat to our national security and sovereignty.

I want to commend Trudeau for stating that it’s important that “no one part of the country should carry a heavier burden than any other. We’re all in this together and we will get through this together.” That’s the Canadian way. We don’t abandon one another. We come together.

A decade ago, I had a professor who taught North American security politics, who said that US hegemony was on the decline and the BRICS were on the rise, with China set to be leader of the pack. He couldn't give an exact timeline but said within the next 10-20 years (he predicted this 10 years ago).

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Do you need a good soundtrack to work to? Or to write with in the background? Or to just sit and listen to with nothing but a good book and warm cup of tea as company? Why not give the #Poldark deluxe edition album a try. It's literally my new musical obsession 🎶 open.spotify.com/album/4swL8B...

Did I just start watching #Poldark? Yes. Am I already in love with this show? Yes. Am I a Ross Poldark girlie? Heck yes. I don't know why it took me so long to start watching it, but I loved Aidan Turner in #Rivals and #TheSuspect, so it was time to watch the show that made him a household name.

Canadians don’t largely understand Trump’s reference to “manifest destiny” in his inaugural speech. That was about us, Greenland, & Panama. That was in reference to American imperial expansion. That was a quiet declaration & #cdnmedia won’t talk about it. Ignoring it won’t make it go away.

My fellow Canadians, please hear me: the United States we knew is gone & NEVER coming back. We cannot & must not attempt to normalize the rise of authoritarians south of the 49th parallel. Canada must forge new alliances & trade arrangements. We must move out of USA’s orbit,

I saw a post about AI & art & here's what I think. Art shouldn't be created with AI. We lose the beauty of prose; emotion of the written word/song; visual magnificence of paintings or film when we use AI. Art's created by people who express themselves, their ideas, emotions & experiences through art

My grandma once said (prior to her passing) that Trump was worse than Hitler (and she lived in the Netherlands during WWII). Now Musk does this. This is where the world is at. Also, this is terrifying, and we're really on the precipice of some dangerous times ahead.
