Charlie Angus (NDP) has started a petition to revoke Musks Canadian citizenship. Open for signatures from now until June. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Hit their pocketbooks. No Teslas. No Amazon. No anything from the evil regime. Buy Canadian and goods from Mexico.

If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

BDS the US. Canada's boycott of US products. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #EndAutoGenocide #BDSUS #CdnPoli

Circa 1680 Italian double-door safe

the only thing Canadians like more than beating Russia in hockey is beating the US in hockey. the general sentiment this morning is that last night we got to do both.

Wow! Good for her, but getting threatened like this needs to be called out by EVERYONE.

THANK YOU TEAM CANADA!! #4Nations 🍁

Just thought it worth mentioning that both of tonight's teams are wearing CCM helmets. CCM Hockey is a Canadian company founded 126 years ago in Weston, Ontario. But tRump doesn't need our products. 🍁 #4Nations

What would Elon Musk’s rap name be?

Makes Hoover look like a walk in the park.

WIRED: “The director of data science and engineering for USDS—which Musk rebranded as DOGE— resigned… ‘I do not believe DOGE can continue to deliver the work of USDS’… even DOGE employees don’t know who is legally running it…” 🤷🏻 www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

We have to stop equating fundamental divides on right vs wrong and good vs evil as “political differences”. Trump has given Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea more than they could ever have dared dream. All for Trump’s personal bottom line. The U.S. be damned.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Mark Carney 🇨🇦 "In America, diversity is now an insult and it soon will be a crime to promote it. That's not a lie. That's a reality. That's what's happening in America." #cdnpoli #peipoli

I’d like to have this in Canada please. #onpoli #NeverConservative #VoteFordOut #NeverPoilievre

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

Did any of the networks cover the National day of protest at all today? I’ve seen the huge marches in a bunch of cities all over Bluesky, but has there been anything shared within the billionaire media industrial complex networks or their social media networks?

Avoid Home Depot and instead shop Canadian. youtube.com/shorts/Yf-QL...

Me fighting the urge to smoke.

If you are more outraged at Canadians booing your anthem than the fact that your mob boss is harassing and threatening a takeover of a sovereign country, whether by economic hardships or by force, then please go fuck yourself. This is for you all in the back👇

Elmo is a RICH DOPE 2.16.25 He trumpeted extravagant claims about 150 yr old Americans being on Social Security rolls. Reality turns out SS Systems use COBOL language which defaults to 1875 if user data is incomplete! DUFUS got arithmetic right! Give him that! And being a real rotten TRAITOR!

I was so honoured to share the stage today at Toronto City Hall on 🇨🇦 Flag Day with @mayoroliviachow.ca, my friend @brittlestar.com, the cast from We Come From Away & Ontario’s Poet Laureate Matthew-Ray Jones. I love my country. I love defending it. I love celebrating it. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Baby mama drama is heating up. 🔥

Pierre Poilievre is a Trump loving flop as Canada pivots away from convoy fascism. #cdnpoli

It’s wild that the American VP is criticizing European countries for stifling freedom of speech. In the Press Freedom Index, the US ranks 55th, while Sweden is 3rd and Germany 10th. Russia, meanwhile, sits at 162.
