Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Make no mistake: Ukraine is leading the fight for democracy. A just and lasting peace requires Ukraine to be at the negotiating table, and its victory will make all of us safer. Ukraine must win. Putin must lose. Slava Ukraini.

The world has witnessed the most disgraceful political tantrum of all time. Trump is not the leader of the "free world." He is convicted felon who doesn't deserve to be in the same room as President Zelenskyy. There is no going along to get along with this thug. Canada needs to stand with Ukraine.

I have made a hobby of watching politics, particularly American politics for many years. In all those years, I have never seen a more puerile display, as the one seen today. The world would do great, to leave the US out of any important decisions. Ignorance, and bullying in full display.

BREAKING: Ontario has lost the 2025 provincial election

I despise FPTP

Fool Ontario once: shame on you. Fool Ontario twice: shame on Ontario. Fool Ontario thrice: wtf

Celebrating the new MPP for Ottawa Centre with @jleiper.bsky.social! Proud to call @cmckenney.bsky.social a friend, mentor — and now my MPP ❤️

trump: I’m going to protect women women: no thank you trump: I’m gonna do it women: please don’t trump: I have kicked those 7 trans girls off the jv volleyball team women: what trump: and brought back andrew tate women: why trump: YOU’RE WELCOME WOMEN also you can’t vote anymore

I keep saying: if this was an operation designed to weaken and destroy American power, what would they be doing differently?

So the convoy chuds are pro-Russia? Also maddening to see the Ottawa police check out of the scene

It's an ELECTION DAY MIRACLE! My Voter Information Card just arrived in my mailbox ONLY A FEW HOURS before the polls close! Thank you Elections Ontario! Thank you Doug Ford!

A big shout out to Derek from Ottawa Police. He was my "liaison" when OPS heard I was supporting the Ukraine protesters. When the convoy crew showed up to confront me Derek said "Oh these are local journalists. You won't need me here anymore." And he tiptoed away. Classic Ottawa police.

The concept of billionaires is fundamentally incompatible with democracy A billionaire with the cash to buy control of a country will choose fascism over following the rule of law If we want to keep our democracy then we must tax all billionaires out of existence

Someone give that man a high five.

Wait til you hear that no one in Canada is buying Florida orange juice.

Did he ever. - David Parkins in today’s @theglobeandmail.com

The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stone. Society has changed before at the scale we need it to today: but that change was never catalyzed by presidents, PMs, or CEOs of the richest companies of the time. The fossil fuel age won’t end until we ordinary people demand it does.

I am hoping to the Russian embassy in Ottawa on Thursday to give support to the brave people denouncing the Ukrainian invasion. I am hoping to be there by 1PM Thursday. Hope to see friends there as well. 285 Charlotte St. Down with tyrants. www.facebook.com/RussianEmbas...

Mark Carney: Pierre Poilievre worships Trump

Watching the #LiberalLeadershipDebate. It’s nice to see there is a depth to the candidate pool. Baylis is interesting. Gould has a future. Freeland’s style of speech is so grating. Carney is good. #cdnpoli

Are you gonna build a big dumb tunnel, @bonnieforontario.bsky.social ?

I mean, Tulsi all but guaranteed we're not getting much of anything from Five Eyes, anyway, so Canada is probably better off directly sharing intel with the other nations anyway. I don't think those nations are comfortable sharing much in a group that includes the US anymore.

This is the cover of Time magazine from May 8, 1995. Why are we still talking about this?

Councillor Dudas is proposing the City of #Ottawa weans off X, but city staff is nervous because "whAt if thEre is aN eMerGenCy?" May I remind the City there is a thing called #Radio for 145 years? The City shouldn't depend on Elon Musk for emergency messaging. I have more faith in the #CBC. 1/2

In addition to the economic boycott, there should be a worldwide cultural boycott of America under it's current fascist regime. If you're an artist or entertainer, please do not tour or perform in America.

Some good words from Ken Dryden, Canadian hero www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

In better Canadian news, Rachel Homan is an insanely talented curler

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Some people believe Doug Ford winning another majority is a foregone conclusion but I prefer to hope this election results in a Ford gone conclusion.

I Just Showed The Older Millenial How Trump Caused Our Trade Deficit With Canada. PLEASE SHARE! @mcuban.bsky.social @svdate.bsky.social @lisaremillard.bsky.social @aaronparnas.bsky.social @civicmedia.us @nbcnews.com youtu.be/hEnkVbp19xE?...

Upon this response, JK burst into a million shards and a great wind scattered her unhappy soul beneath the arc of a newly formed rainbow.

#Emails2DOGE cc: [email protected] 1. Mocked Trump & his boss Elon on TV and online 2. Got my kid’s Corgi fixed so she won’t have babies (Elon you should get fixed 2) 3. Looked up why ketamine abusers need 😎 indoors 4. Read court decisions saying Trump & his boss Elon violated laws 5. Made this list

Canadians don't boast about our beautiful nation. We don't tend to wave the flag. But when Trump tell us that we don't have a right to exist as a nation every Canadian must make a choice - VIMY or VICHY. I know where I stand. Canadians never give ground in the face of tyranny. #strongasfuck

A much better dividend 😂🥰

Each of these four points is crucially important. They explain why Ukraine is not lost — and Europe is not threatened — without the United States. More commitment and expenditure will be required, but there’s no reason for surviving democracies to capitulate
