#MarkCarney knows how to do it:

Some Hope? : “Europe would need around 300,000 additional troops, costing some $262 billion, to fully replace the U.S. in defense matters. The think tank concluded that "the numbers are small enough for Europe to replace the U.S. fully."

NEW - 5 BC Conservative MLAs have voted against a @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social motion in #bcleg to condemn US President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs. Tara Armstrong, Heather Maahs, Brent Chapman, Dallas Brodie and Jordan Kealy NDP will now launch a social media campaign saying BC Cons support Trump.

Maddow tries to shake Jeffries into meeting the moment: "Policy doesn't feel like the main convo…we are in the middle of a Ketamine-fueled autocratic power grab rendering Congress irrelevant, making the rule of law an afterthought if not a joke”: Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGe93bq...

Feel the Bern

Know where you stand #strongasfuck

It just took one crisis and 40 days to destroy democratic Germany.

A patriotic blast from the past! youtu.be/EdUr43acx94

BREAKING: Canada defeats the USA to take home the #4Nations  Championship 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Canadian PM Justin Trudeau tweeted: “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.”

Do we believe him now @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social ?

Written by Trump or not, it provides cover and talking points for the Congressional flakes and his crazed followers.

Donald Trump lying about Ukraine starting the war with Russia makes me ashamed to be an American. I have done a 2 man patrol at night through Fallujah to extract and intubated COVID patients long before a vaccine. I've killed people for America and I've saved people for America. I am ashamed.

OMFG

NOT joking! Don’t mess with Canada and certainly NOT @charlieangus104.bsky.social

Ummm, what was stopping you Mr. Rustad? “Rustad has said that had the Conservatives won the election, he would have been in Washington back in November.”

"Canada is well positioned — with more soft power and diplomatic capital than almost any other country — to wield anti-corruption as a weapon that leverages pressure against Trump’s destructive tariffs and anti-democracy agenda. You have the tools. Use them." thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

The boycott is hitting Tennessee hard. “One of our tour operators told us immediately she lost about 30% of her business trips that were already booked to the U.S.” -Travel Alliance Partnership An immediate 30% drop from cancellations will hurt. Let's make it 100%. Canada #strongasfuck

Like a cold shower after a night of partying to forget, @charlieangus104.bsky.social wakes us up, once again:

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Happy Flag Day!

"We may look back on Munich 2025 as the moment when America made it clear they stand with tyranny and extremism over the international democratic order." - Charlie Angus

JD Vance decried as extremist over attack on UK abortion clinic safe zones

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

I posted this at the time, but it bears repeating that #AlexanderDugin said it plainly when Trump won. He said “WE have won”. It’s no accident that everyone in Trump’s regime (with the possible exception of Rubio) spouts Kremlin propaganda. Gabbard. Vance, Hegseth, Patel, on & on. #RIPAmerica #Coup

In Vancouver and Whistler we welcome Invictus Games 2025 competitors from 23 nations, with a special shout out to Team America. Our soldiers have served side by side for decades, and whenever you need us, we will be there. And we know that you also have our back.

So tempting to lose faith and retreat, please, don’t. Keep reading and sharing and taking care of each other. “As people stopped trusting in their shared common values and retreated into their silos, democratic society began to disintegrate.”

In other news, here’s my “doing a burn out” pumpkin pie from Christmas. Each vehicle a so-so replica of the men in the family’s trucks! It was served with love and the statement that I was told to bring pumpkin pie, but no one ever eats it, so…

Great story.

Idaho has two land border crossings with British Columbia.

Struggling to see how this isn’t a more deliberate, sinister and intentional action than “Operation Ranch Hand” and the shameful killing of 100s of thousands of Vietnamese during agent orange spraying to destroy food sources of the “enemy.” #trump #usaid #NYT www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/w...

Well said! Can count on you for clarity sprinkled with that ironic sense of humour! @godlessmom.bsky.social

i know i'm gonna see you in the morning but i'm still gonna miss the fuck outta you. ~ me to my coffee maker

What is going on... #donaldtrump #joebiden

And in #19 spot, some true descriptors of Jen St. Denis: “shines an unflinching spotlight…relentless pursuit of the truth…her sharp investigative lens.” If you’ve ever been interviewed by her you had better have done your homework! Congratulations.

“Drunk on learning” Now that’s an epitaph!
