🔥 PETE ON HEGSETH-GATE: “An epic fuck-up… these are not serious people… if there are no consequences, all the bluster from Trump about merit was bullshit… we deserve so much better…”

Danielle Smith is not pushing back on American economic warfare. She’s asking a foreign power to interfere with our democratic process—for political gain. • Tariffs hurt Canadians. • Election interference undermines democracy. • This is collusion with a hostile foreign agenda #arrestSmith4treason

🤢🤮🤢🤬

Negativity isn't going to win a trade war. Negativity won't pay the rent or the mortgage. Negativity won't bring down the price of groceries. Negativity won't make Canada Strong.

Do we need any more proof that Smith is on team trump? This woman is so diabolical she begged only for a pause on tariffs so that they could influence the Canadian elections. Canada needs politicians who care about the people and this country, not just themselves. www.instagram.com/reel/DHivYnQ...

A reminder of who Pierre Poilievre is. Never forget his record. #cdnpoli

Elbows up, Canada.

Elizabeth May 🇨🇦 - Don't be fooled, by a fool. "When Trump says he prefers a Liberal they know an endorsement would be kiss of death for Poilievre! It's reverse psychology. Why would anyone believe any words coming out Trump's mouth?" #cdnpoli

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

“The beauty of anti-racism is that you don’t have to pretend to be free of racism to be anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it’s the only way forward.” – Ijeoma Oluo

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

Wow, check out this awesome site: Choose Canada! Featuring videos and content ranging from history to booking vacations within the True North Strong and Free! #Canadastrong 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

A new Prime Minister provides a chance to reset discussions on how we can improve Albertans' lives. Instead, the Premier chose to make demands and insult him. We need an ethical, competent government, but once again, Danielle Smith and the UCP have failed to deliver. youtube.com/shorts/srqfz...

There is a very credible threat that the country with the most powerful armed forces on the planet will take military action against Canada, and Danielle Smith believes that we are at risk of a "national unity crisis" because...it's too hard to get pipelines built. Utterly beyond parody.

Fellow Canadians 👇👇 Vote liberal to save Canada from the insane right wing conservatism unfolding in USA

If you think Poilievre wants to help the working class, you have been fooled into thinking that, here is a list of recent articles over the past two years showing who he really wants to help, large corporations, lobbyists, millionaires and billionaires. #PoilievreIsLyingToYou /1

Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE. These are not the actions of a democratic nation. This is the creep of fascism. I am calling on Canadians to avoid all travel to the USA. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt_q...

UK Subs detained

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

Let's compare MarkJCarney and PierrePoilievre. Oh wait Pierre doesn't even come anywhere near close! 😳

these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions

I get that everyone is riled up, and that's a good thing, but maybe instead of saying, 'More people should be doing this' and 'You should be doing that,' try saying, 'I am doing [this specific action], and please join me!' Be active!

@schumer.senate.gov If you vote for cloture you are a stain on this country’s history that will never go away. You are willingly passing power to a tyrant in waiting, and you are a disgrace to every oath of office any senator has ever sworn. Your legacy will be one of cowardice and contempt.

Canada’s immigration laws ban serious criminals and those who try to subvert democratic institutions. Donald Trump is a convicted felon who wants to annex Canada using “economic force.” Minister @MarcMiller, will you enforce our laws or give him a free pass?

Idea to get trump to STFU about annexing Canada: Impose a 0% surcharge on energy+oil to the US, and every time trump/vance/republicans talk about taking our country and making it a state, increase it by 1%. 🇨🇦

Two city councillors will be elected. Here's our ultimate need-to-know voter's guide.

Mark Carney: Pierre Poilievre has a very limited understanding of how the economy works

This is one of the main reasons why the messaging from trump and republicans feels so profoundly disrespectful. Canada fought and service members died in Afghanistan, and we’ve never asked for or needed the same from the US! For this our country is treated like trash. This is the ‘thanks’ we get?

🔥 WATCH: “WHERE’S ELON MUSK?? If he found so much waste and fraud, why isn’t he here explaining it? You know why… because he’s out to privatize social security.” Rep Larson lights up the DOGE con in committee.

This is abhorrent. Vigilante fascist groups are teaming up with elected officials to deport pro-Palestine activists. forward.com/news/703018/...

Very strange that Pierre Poilievre insists on not knowing what he's talking about. 🤔

Trump wants to annex us. That's the end goal. He'll come up with any excuse, any reason, any lie to take us over. This is not a drill. He's actively attempting to turn his country and the rest of the world against us with propaganda. We need to face what is now a national crisis with our eyes open.

“There is no way to put your head down and survive this moment,” says Palestinian scholar Noura Erakat. "The only way to protect yourself is to protest in this moment. Your silence will be a target, not a shield."

I never thought I would say "The US is trying to take over Canada" in my lifetime. But the US is trying to take over Canada. That's the reality. They're putting economic pressure on us to force submission and annexation. It's terrifying. It's angering. Stay strong, fellow Canadians. Elbows up.

We will not stand idly by: Free Mahmoud Khalil! Jewish Voice for Peace demands the Trump administration release Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil from ICE detention. The detention of Mahmoud is further proof that we are on the brink of a full takeover by a repressive, authoritarian regime.

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”
