Been reading how wine sales from the USA to Canada are down by 94% in a month. Well yeah, that’s what happens when a country threatens 🇨🇦. To say we’re pissed off is too polite. Guess what - some of us are discovering new wines in Canada- what a treat. I will never buy 🇺🇸 wine again.

You are not alone. I just threw ABC in the same dumpster fire as CNN

I’ve been scratching my head trying to understand how how they got into this mess & can’t seem to fix it. I get that it is a confluence of so many things from poor education to racism & history, but you would think they figure out this is facism. So your comment that the USA has gone mad fits.

Ahh, the abyss of golden age gaslighting…

UPDATE : in 2025, temp ER closures in #ONTARIO are @ 1️⃣9️⃣7️⃣hours, perm closure/hour reduction in #Durham #Minden #Chesley #Clinton are @1️⃣0️⃣6️⃣1️⃣2️⃣hr

The United States, June 2025. Oops, no. The Diary of Anne Frank Nazi Germany 1943 We refuse to learn from past atrocities. Wake tf up, America, before we’re the ones who need saving by allied troops.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

We’re running out of american news shows to watch on tv. Thanks goodness we have the CBC here in this free & truly democratic country 🇨🇦

Reposting by request the exchange from Trump's ABC interview about Abrego Garcia's tattoos here on Bluesky 👇👇👇 TRUMP: He had MS-13 on his knuckles, tattooed! MORAN: That was photoshopped TRUMP: Terry, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. I picked you. But you're not being very nice.

Jumping Jehoshaphats - Josh just nailed history in the making!

I wish history wouldn’t repeat itself. I wish we could be better.

Thank u for the link

I’m just imagining the withering looks that Greta Thunberg is giving her Israeli captors, after they took her hostage. Only the far right Israeli regime would be stupid enough to engage in piracy & illegally arrest an international heroine. #FreeGreta

More proof that he wants to be Governor Ford! If Doug wants to be Captain Canada, he should be investing in Ontario, not bankrupting the systems (see education, health) to make them ripe for privitization

My message to the people of California. Trump is threatening to use the marines against the American people. He is a despot. Californians -be strong. You are the front line in the fight for democracy. The free world stands with you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu20...

Leaders from other countries should think twice about sending their athletes to the Los Angeles Olympics.

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

This bill is disastrous! The build is held up by small group of rare birds....who may keep certain insects at bay in their ecosystem...which may prevent certain diseases or keep water/soil free of toxins...it's all related

Greta is so not wrong about this!

To better prepare for this violent insurrection, Marines and the National Guard are being taught how to line dance.

Let’s all say it…it’s called gaslighting

Why does CBC give Poilievre air time like he is an elected MP & his opinion matters? Seems like bare face campaigning for Poilievre's vanity Alberta booty call by-election. Scheer is leader of the Opposition. Elizabeth May, as a party leader & MP should be interviewed more. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia

Gotta share this on my feed- still smiling & still ball-less🤣

Yeah, I’m with you on this.

Abortion is legal, so how could a billboard supporting women's rights and our laws be considered "controversial" and the billboards that attack women's rights and our law are not.

Our tax dollars should never go to Corporations that contribute zero to our tax dollars! Funding corporations with our money must end! We must stop subsidizing our own destruction.

This is precisely correct.

So proud to be Canadian. I know we have work to do and if we work together, we are stronger.

To learn & recognize the moment & the lies try following @heathermoandco.bsky.social It’s chilling what’s happening in USA

Please pay attention to this thread. Heather has been doing this a long time, and she's cemented herself as a staple in the Canadian OSINT community through hard work, dedication, and persistence. She covers more than just Canada, and if you're not following her, you need to change that ASAP.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Conservative MPs babysat PP Note: Despite his tough talk about supporting the troops, the last Conservative government, that he was part of, reduced defence spending to just 1% of GDP — the lowest level in Canadian history. Entire video: vm.tiktok.com/ZMSDMeqao/

Okay, I give up on trying to be respectful. After seeing this video, I’m just going to say it - He’s an idiot.

A Canadian treasure. Happy birthday Michael. We love you

Ford called Trump's threat to make Canada the 51st state "a compliment" while passing dictator Bills 5, 6 & 17 as he installs judges & private-for-profit HC, jailing homeless with a $10,000 fine as Ontario measles outbreak becomes the centre of the western hemisphere. #cdnpoli
