He’s so close

Time to speak up, Wayne. If you care about Canada, now’s the time. www.thestar.com/sports/hocke...

I can stop thinking that this is what 77 million Americans voted for (or at least were willing to tolerate). 77 million.

Who could’ve seen this coming? Oh, right, many the folks who’ve been fired.

You already have. Most of you are just too blinded by a lack of international media coverage to realize it. Your country is literally now the greatest threat to global democracy this generation has ever seen, and the remaining democracies of the world will react accordingly.

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Any other Gen Xers catapulted today right back to being about 13 years old and terrified of World War III breaking out between the USSR and the US? Need to watch The Day After again.

Hell has frozen over; I agree with Piers Morgan.

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

Journalists, please do not describe what happened at the White House today as a "spat", "heated exchange" or as Zelensky-Trump "going at each other". Zelensky was ambushed by Vance while very calmly explaining why Ukraine needs security guarantees and doesn't trust a ceasefire...

The look of someone who has fully sold their soul.

Canada’s been there for about a month. Join us.

We could have had Kamala!!! AGHHHHHH!!!!

Probably an easier sell if you don’t have advisors who’ve worn MAGA hats.

This is unbelievably embarrassing for Americans

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Trump and his team are monsters.

ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about? VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

Probably to be appointed head of a US gov sexual assault or human trafficking task force. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Is it just me that’s seeing a little long lost conservative brothers? Mike Johnson/Pierre Pollievre

Pulitzer Feeling Increasingly Out Of Place In Washington Post Office

“The French resistance…”

Either way, it should give us all pause to enter a country considering this affront to human rights.

Canadians need to understand this as the *Holy Shit* moment that it is. Once again, I don’t know how we host a hostile foreign actor and Russian asset on our soil for the G7. 🇨🇦

The US openly siding with Russia against Ukraine at the UN: Not surprising at this point, but utterly shocking.

Fair Or Not, Churchill’s “Never Surrender” Rhetoric Is Angering Hitler. Is His Style Hurting Britain?

Trudeau invites Zelensky to friendly pick-your-brain coffee chat about being invaded by warmongering neighbour

One of main road trip family singing songs when I was grow was Killing Me Softly (that and You Are My Sunshine).

These are the sports I want to watch (without the dude calling the event)

Missed it (intentionally). Catching up via Bluesky on the stupidity on CBC platformed is, I am certain, much better than the show.

A better framing for today's Cross Country Checkup would have been: What are some tried and tested guerrilla tactics Canadians you're considering if the Yankees violate our borders?

CBC's Cross Country Checkup promises to foster discussion between Canadians who think we should become 51st state, and Canadians who think we should surrender to different countries

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

The current US admin is building a new order (which was the old order) based on white supremacy where nazi salutes are no longer hidden, white Afrikaners are prioritized for immigrations, and open anti semites/supremacists are invited on work trips with Secretaries.

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

He nails it.

The cars keep lurching to the far right.

Hats off to Gov Janet Mills standing up for human rights. “See you in court.”
