Seeing the Danielle Smith stuff, it reminds me of this story from Livy, early Roman Republic. There was a battle between Rome and Fidenae and another city, Alba, had promised to come to Rome's defence. They didn't though, they watched, and couldn't decide - waiting to see who would win. 1

It was just a matter of time. It was never about the fentanyl.

WATCH: The gloves are off! It’s been an under-reported scandal for quite a while that Pierre Poilievre refuses to apply for security clearance. It was a scandal EVEN BEFORE the most recent efforts to undermine Canada’s democracy, sovereignty and economy from Trump, Musk and the GOP. Share this.

A leaked report shows that Vancouver's mayor wants to make Vancouver a 'sunset community' where Native people aren't welcome. He has a plan to deport Indigenous residents of the city to their "home communities". www.bcafn.ca/news/regiona...

What's good for the goose...

Hey @bcferries.bsky.social and @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social , this is why we don't want Starlink

This is why we must not buy the F35 fighter and why we must move away from US military procurement and supply chains.

Piglet time! #BarristerFarmer #Nanaimo #RDN #SouthWellington #Pigs

This is the most viral Bluesky post we've ever had 🤯

Cancel the F35. We don't need a fighter that the USA can switch off. Buy the Gripen from Saab for Canada. #RCAF #Canada #Gripen

The NYT reporting on details of talks between Canadian and American officials that included - from the American side - redrawing the border, ignoring treaties involving waterways like the Great Lakes, kicking Canada out of 5 eyes and military cooperation agreements www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/w...

The Canadian government should plan for the end of NORAD as a binational command and our expulsion from Five Eyes: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/w...

Trump has stopped sharing intelligence and paused military aid with Ukraine. He claims he’s trying to make peace and end the war, but all he’s really doing is weakening Ukraine and strengthening Putin. Trump is a Russian asset. (The Harbor Building, Los Angeles)

“If you do not recognize that mass destruction of fundamental concepts of democracy and the US Constitution happening right now, you are either willfully ignorant or just plain stupid. I can’t put it any clearer than that." www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/t...

Hey @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social : It's "elbows up" time. You must NOT let @bcferries.bsky.social BC Ferries use Elon Musk's Starlink service for our provincial ferry fleet! cheknews.ca/bc-ferries-h... #BCpoli

Looking at the USA and thinking of this line from the trailer for the movie version of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: "There is a mole right at the top of the Circus." Trade White House for Circus and it sounds right.

Trumps message to the people of Greenland is that we’re gonna get Greenland one way or the other

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

Divest and do not purchase from Post Media.

Meet the Canadians who support U.S. annexation: this 42 year old accountant sucks shit

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

If Canada completes the purchase of F35 fighter jets from America, can we be sure that there is no backdoor in the software that allows the Americans to disable the fighters if they decide to neutralize our military?

If Trump isn’t a Russian asset, he might want to try not acting like a really obvious Russian asset.

The immaturity and incompetence of Trump & Vance laid bare in contrast the the statesmanship of Zelenskyy. All the bullies had was to yell, insult and threaten. Europe: it's time to collectively stand up to the bullies. There is no avoiding the conflict they will bring to you.

Canada and it's resources lie between the USA and Russia. I think that feeling I have is what is felt to be a Pole after Germany and the USSR signed their non-aggression pact in 1939.

Is there any doubt now that Trump is working to advance the interests of Putin?

“RUSSIA CAN STOP THE WAR ANYTIME BY LEAVING UKRAINIAN LAND.”

This would be more believable if the MLAs who opposed the motion came from places that would be particularly impacted by retaliation, rather than being the exact people with the same ideological disposition that you would expect to oppose a motion condemning something Trump did.

Maybe he's mad about that petition to remove his Canadian citizenship. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

You know, there are competitors to Starlink. After this, if Canadian company (or Premier) needing satellite internet doesn't consider those other options, then their loyalties are suspect.

We will be discussing Locke’s account of tyranny and the dissolution of the government in my Philosophy of Law class today. I asked my students to apply his account to our current political situation. I wish it were not so relevant.
