At this point the orange man’s flip flopping on tariffs is just blatant stock market manipulation.

Reminder: a grand total of 0.03 lbs of fentanyl were seized at the northern border in January. So how Canada could show "progress" on fentanyl here is a big question, given that the seizure levels are already close to zero. /of course it's a pretext.

Briefly spent some time on the bad place, but the stupidity of MAGA & Maple MAGA almost gave me an aneurysm.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

This is Pierre Poilievre's top advisor. His Conservative party is inundated with MAGA and Trump supporters yet he is telling Canadians he and his party are "not MAGA". Do the research before you vote. It matters. #TrojanHorse #cdnpoli

Alt Text: A rant by Jim Elliott (not of Regina) about the #FluTruxKlan saying nothing against the tariff attack on Canada, even though they whined mercilessly about vaccines and masks which were only mild inconveniences (and kept them safe if they used them).

If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol

And to be so very clear, JKR has openly stated that the money she makes from Harry Potter (in all its forms, right now) goes directly to conservative and specifically anti-trans causes. Do not financially engage with Harry Potter. Don't even engage with it for free. It's a Faustian IP, do not.

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10

Anyway, if other Canadian authors could sound off here: I want to collect more of you for solidarity purposes. I’m about to buy a lot of Canadian books.

Just to be very clear: A sitting president saying he's going to arrest, expel, and otherwise persecute and punish people for protesting is exactly what so-called free speech purists should be pulling out the torches for. That is literally 1st Amendment shit.

With alt text. Also, these aren't antics. These are public threats to another country's sovereignty by the Secretary of Homeland Security. We keep treating it like a joke because to your average American the idea of invading Canada seems ridiculous. They're not laughing.

Measles also gives 1 in 20 kids pneumonia, can cause croup, bronchitis, or laryngitis, and then there’s SSPE. That pops up 7-10 years after infection. It is always, always fatal. It attacks the CNS and causes neurological degeneration. There is a damn reason we have been vaccinating people.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Trump says Canada has nothing the U.S. needs. More than 80 per cent of the potash used by U.S. farmers comes from mines in Saskatchewan. And Trump is about to make that 25% more expensive for American farmers to buy. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/7ff7d5d...
