A nonsensical threat to: One of the most important advances in biotechnology of our time, already being used to successfully treat refractory cancers, enable genome editing, develop vaccines for infectious diseases for which there are none, treat autoimmune diseases, and more.

‘Canada or America?’ Touring folk duo Cassie and Maggie questioned by state troopers www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

France called. They want their statue of liberty back. No really.

The News Agents get it. So does Starmer, but he doesn't like having the choices he's made to stab Canada in the back stated so clearly. (This also points out how untenable having the same head of state for two countries with differing geopolitical interests is becoming.)

Scary times!

Wow. Americans really don't understand Canada if they think we are googling "How many senators will we get?" And not "How do I make a pipe bomb?"

"At a time when Canada’s sovereignty has come under unprecedented threat from Donald Trump’s US, the battle between the two birds closely associated with each country has emerged as the latest symbol of tensions between the two countries". www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If there's one good thing about what's happening in Trumpland, I think it's making more Canadians see how PP has been following the MAGA playbook. Let's make sure this doesn't happen here. The other options may not be perfect, but this party is literally the last thing we need right now.

When the Trump White House has lost the UK's Daily Star, you know they're tanking. Their last hope for a true ally is Russia, whose usefulness is limited.

When Trump was first elected in 2016, like many, I went into a state of despair & depression. Because I live in Canada, people around me told me I shouldn't worry so much because what was happening didn't really affect my life. It was awful watching everything happen and feeling totally helpless.

For Lent I’m just giving up

My advice to Canadians. Bunker down, prepare for hardship. Ignore Trump's words and threats. Ignore US and foreign propaganda and disinformation spread by Trump and other far right agents including domestic. Vote against RW populist parties. Support leaders who fight for us. Stay united and firm. 🇨🇦

Here's Canada's response to the looming Trump tariffs.

Canada-Russia hockey final tonight, just like old times.

MoonPie renaming Florida is hands down the best retitling we’ve gotten out of this entire mess.

In a just world, there would be a psychiatric diagnosis called "wealth accumulation disorder". People with billions who gut governments in order to further enrich themselves would be deemed too unwell to leave the hospital.

I was curious how the USA's tariff attack on Canada and Mexico is being covered on US news sites, so I had a look through some of the major US tv and newspapers. Most had it in their top 3 headlines. Fox News doesn't even mention it on their front page. Wild! Now, time to go wash my eyeballs...

The American people are our very dear friends. The American government is a hostile foreign threat.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I fully support the plan to put the US flag on Mars if that keeps the Leader occupied and distracted from annexing Canada and Greenland. Sorry for you though, Panama.

Well kids, I guess you should prepare for your favourite app to be wrecked. Ugh. Chinese officials reportedly discuss sale of TikTok in US to Elon Musk www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Experts warn Trump dangerously close to figuring out where Canada is

"The Trumpian movement is trying to rewire and rig the modern information ecosystem, the same way Vladimir Putin did in Russia, the same way Viktor Orban did in Hungary. Silicon Valley seems to be broadly on board."

Do you see what CNN is doing here? Please tell me you see it.

Indeed, this is where we are.

People in Canada were very worried about the original prospect of 10% tariffs; 25% will be absolutely devastating for all these economies, especially for the US itself.

November 2024 has been a big bag of sadness from start to finish.
