🇺🇦🇨🇦 The Ukrainian Review team met with the Canadian Ambassador to Ukraine, Natalka Cmoc. 🤝 We had the opportunity to discuss many joint cultural projects. We are very grateful to all the Canadian people for their continued support of Ukraine. @savchenkoua.bsky.social

🤬❗️ NATO intelligence indicates that Russia continues to produce a significant number of missiles, so they are stockpiling them for new massive strikes, despite the lull in missile attacks, — EP

No surprise here. This is why Canadians opted for a single payer public health system. Smith doesn't care if she is wasting taxpayer money - it's her dream to make us American.

Did the Tories vet any of their candidates?

That's a good summary.

🇺🇦🪖 Zelensky: "There are several countries ready to send peacekeepers, we are talking about the fleet, aviation, and even about the land component. We will still, have one or another infrastructure to support Western armies at the end of the war. Or maybe even in the middle."

They do say STUPID is STUPID

We drink Australian wine the most. In Canada it's difficult to get wines from Ontario and BC.

Bad take. Albertans are not so brittle, our opinions are not so homogenous, and we are much more committed to democracy than Preston seems to believe. Picking up your ball and leaving because you "lose"? That's loser talk. But we're not losers. Albertans will continue to support a strong Canada.

GO Tom! Good luck!

At times like this, the notion of 'Canada' is not something you put on and take off like a team jersey. It's something you feel in your heart and pumps in your blood. It's a country Alberta’s New Democrats believe is worth fighting for. 🇨🇦 youtube.com/shorts/-lq1g...

Our votes always count. Voting the party that doesn't win in a riding shows that the winning party is missing support. I am tired of people who don't vote. Democracy asks very little of you - so VOTE!

I've lived in Alberta most of my life and was born in Calgary. I have never felt disrespected as an Albertan in the rest of Canada but know that other Canadians are wary of our politicians. Albertans need to be wary of them too. Alberta/UCP disrespect the rest of Canada I fear.

Smith fancies herself a statesmen/women. Only in the MAGA/UCP world.

Smith represents the UCP and not Albertans.

If as she isn't a separatist why does she enable any votes in that direction? If it walks like a separatist, talks like a separatist, she's a separatist.

I'm in Calgary Skyview. We have a chance to elect a Liberal. Talk to everyone and vote!

🇨🇦In Canada the colours associated with political parties are reverse of what it is in the United States: 🟦 Conservative Party 🟥 Liberal Party When reading profiles I need to remind myself of this.

🇨🇦 These are suggested standardized plans for housing in Canada. They look nice although the size varies considerably. There are many war time houses built after WWII to fill the need for homes for returning soldiers and their families. I think it is worth trying www.housingcatalogue.cmhc-schl.gc.ca

Presidents shouldn’t have the power to pardon anyone. It’s all so corrupt.

🇨🇦 Canadians! We are in an election and Carney must win. Conservative politicians across the country will sell out to corporations and the US. Look to Alberta to see how bad it could get. VOTE and hopefully vote Liberal.🇨🇦🇪🇺

🇨🇦Carney is expected to speak to the country at 11:30 ET/9:30 MT. It's on CBC and possibly other networks.

Straight down seems bad

🇺🇸👀 The Economist's cover for Trump's "Liberation Day"

This looks more like an out-take from a Keystone Cops film.

How deep is government control over American lives going to go? Can you have a romantic/sexual relationship with a Chinese person while in the US? Are other cultural groups suspect? What a country!

🇨🇦 Canada has institutionalized multiculturalism as a goal for our society. Canada is not a mirror of American society. There are many differences in how we view the world and the values that we believe are important in a functioning society. www.canada.ca/en/canadian-...

🇨🇦 Apparently the United States administration looks at our bilingual labelling as an obstacle to trade. Frankly I don't care what the Americans think. If you don't want to follow our regulations sell your goods elsewhere. www.latmultilingual.com/blog/is-your...

Sadly these Americans judge Canada but I think many have not been to Canada, know nothing of our history or society, contributions in the world. They listen to MAGA

#TeamCanada #cdnpoli #Tariffs

The biggest threat to Canadian unity? First-past-the-post. When millions are shut out, it breeds division and undermines our democracy. Demand proportional representation! #cdnpoli #Election2025

Shameful findings but not surprising. The UCP can say anything they want without being held accountable to anyone, especially the tax payer.

People like Manning make a lot of noise but I believe that more and more Albertans are aware of the incompetence of the UCP and the government.

It is the UCP methodology to appointment like minded people or outright supporters to any commission or committee in Alberta. Manning spends so much time with people who think like him that he doesn't know what the rest of us think.

Preston Manning needs to retire. he is not a statement, is clearly biased towards Reform/Wildrose/UCP talking points. As he confines himself to like minded people I doubt he knows what most Westerners think. I am proud to be Canadian but not proud to be Albertan.

For a "star" of reality TV he sure doesn't know a lot about producing a TV presentation. It was typical quality that we associate with Trump. Embarrassing dog and pony show.

Americans talk a lot about the First Amendment that guarantees free speech. Someone needs to remind the American government of that.

Welcome to the fight European Union. Elbows up www.ft.com/content/19ee...

🇨🇦 CBC Newsworld cut the feed once it was obvious that Trump was rambling and not sticking to the purpose of the meeting. Light on details or information and heavy on misinformation, lies, self promotion. Unprofessional presentation - Canada and Mexico left out. Typical Trump effort. 🇨🇦

Pierre talking about how woman are pushing off having a baby because the cost to raise a kid and buy a house is too expensive is really rich from a guy who voted no on 10 dollar daycare and food programs to essentially help those people.... Hypocrite at its finest.

Canada needs to be included in the European defence structure. Actually there are countries around the world that share similar values and might want to be part of a new alliance.

Heroyam slava! You are indeed a hero!

🇨🇦 Okay fellow Canadians. I have changed my eating habits, look to see country of origin of all our foods, changed the stores that I shop at to Canadian, shop less if there aren't Canadian options, bought Korean built EV car. I'm as ready as I can be and looking to improve. 🇨🇦

In her America this is true - we see it now for visa holders, refugees, and immigrants. The GOP/MAGA have no shame and seem to know little of their own country's values, history, vision, etc.. It's not the America I thought it was.

Typical MAGA move. Stupid!

MOSCOW: PEACE TALK PROPOSALS “UNACCEPTABLE IN THEIR CURRENT FORM” So that’s the official line from the Kremlin. Effectively ends the pretence of a ceasefire and shows clearly they are dragging 47 along for the ride. They don’t want peace and they never did.

Remove sanctions so that Dmitriev can travel? Have the reasons for the original sanctions been removed by him? This undermines the purpose of sanctions. Travel to him Witkoff!

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.
