Senator Lisa Murkowski just said that she and her colleagues are afraid & anxious because retaliation from the president is real. This is not normal or right. Our leader is a tyrant, but the same people who are scared, are the ones who could actually stop him. youtube.com/shorts/FNvbg...

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Watching this interview I have come to the conclusion that the US needs Canada as the 51st State in order to allow Marc Carney to be elected as President of the United States!

Party politics aside, if you want to know how safe you will be having Marc Carney as the head of government, watch this interview from an American podcast. The poise and knowledge come booming through. #MarkCarney2025 #cdnpoli #NeverPoilievre www.youtube.com/watch?v=V11q...

The disabled, in many cases, can't show up to a rally and pad Trump's crowd sizes. In his view that makes them useless as props and, since they are not rich, useless as donors.

I didn't watch the debate, but I hear that some found it boring and dry, to which I say, "That's good!" Politics and running a country are serious business and should not be viewed as an American sideshow. I'll take boring and effective any day. #cdnpoli #voteliberal

"No big chains. No Amazon." is not about denying yourself the goods you need do go about your life. It's about sending a message to large corporations that consumers care, they are watching and that they should align corporate policies in favour of society. It says, "We can take you out!"

A list of candidates running in the federal election who want to control a woman’s body & strip away her rights for bodily autonomy. Vote accordingly. Also since many of these are backed by religious organizations who aren’t keeping their noses out of politics #taxthechurches tinyurl.com/mrxxc96w

Those who don't listen to CBC miss out on a lot of good content but it cannot be measured in commercial terms. CBC serves a lot of specialized pockets commercial media does not cover. CBC is hated by other media because it takes away eyes and ears from their commercials. It's all about money!

This doesn't matter much as, according to Trump, Canada has nothing that the US needs. If that's the case, I am quite happy to give them the "nothing" that he craves! #tourists #tariffs #travel #cdnpoli

It would take an exceptional situation (like maybe an invitation from Stephen Colbert to appear on his show🙄) to get me to cross the border. I feel for the US travel industry, but they, not we, have to clean up their government. #travel #cdnpoli #tariffs www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

US toy industry is in trouble with China 145% tariffs. Their Xmas orders are in jeopardy. Some cancelling orders. Many Canadian companies import directly from China. Americans may need to do their Xmas shopping in Canada. #tariffs #toys

"At an annual cost to taxpayers of $535 million, $1.60 per American taxpayer, stations provide free access to educational shows, emergency alerts, and a wide array of news and cultural content. " This is a good thing, which is why the Trump crime family wants it gone! www.cnn.com/2025/04/16/m...

Can anyone answer if Canadian High Schools are still guiding graduates to attend American Colleges, in light of the turmoil facing immigrants at the border, and Harvard's troubles with the Trump crime family? #cdnpoli

Poilievre is hoping that there are enough Canadians as dumb as the base Trump supporters and they don't believe that their rights and freedoms will be taken away. Look south. Freedoms are flying off of the shelf!

Canada, Europe, etc, should bring a halt to Lutnick/Trump dialogue and tell them, "Don't come here to negotiate until you reset all tariffs to where they were in early January. Start negotiations from there. Negotiated deals were in place then, and that is where negotiations should start. #canada

With no due process it is only, in this case, baby steps from illegal alien to enemy of the state to, citizens unfriendly to the president to, traitor. Look at any world dictatorship to discover just how fast citizens lose their freedom to disagree then, their freedom to leave the country.

"South Korea, with its 'cheaper' version of the F-35, watches as Canada reviews U.S. fighter deal" There are several good alternatives to buying the F-35. Volkswagen or Rolls-Royce. You get to the grocery store just as fast! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Conservatives in the US defy court orders and refuse to bring back a US citizen from El Salvador. Conservatives in Canada emulate big brother. Expect the same thing here. Conservatives don't like being told what to do by courts or voters.

A strong military is important in times of war but even more important in times of peace. Hurricanes, floods, ice storms, earthquakes, etc., it is comforting to know that we have a trained and disciplined work force to defend us no matter what happens. Or to assist other countries. #cdnpoli
