There will be increasing US propaganda aimed at Canada. Media will be complicit in normalizing it. Secret fentanyl labs, porous border that threatens security, etc. Bet on it. And a lot of Americans will eat it up. This has been the American playbook for decades.

I love Mexico … and their president, too. 🩵 🇲🇽

Na na na na hey hey hey bye bye. #elbowsup #strongasfuck

Bless the protesters!

What a different world we could have.

I sure hope so. 🇨🇦

American exceptionalism! US tax $ no longer go to help Ukraine protect themselves against Russia. Instead they pay for Trump to go golfing. ⛳️ “US taxpayers have shelled out tens of millions of dollars for Trump’s golf trips” (Guardian) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Yet one more reason why the vast majority of Canadians do NOT want to join the USA. #Cdnpoli 🇨🇦 “Ottawa outlaws another 179 types of firearms, announces classification review” - The Canadian Press apple.news/A9pMTTANxQdC...

So why would we Canadians even consider for a nanosecond of joining the USA? #Cdnpoli 🇨🇦🤔

An American speaks sensibly.

I just watched 2 interviews with Justin Trudeau and Melanie Joly on US media. Both were very articulate as they addressed the American people about what their deranged president is doing … ultimately to those same American people. I’m grateful to have them representing 🇨🇦 and not Poilievre. #Cdnpoli

Someone should remind Trump, his gang, and MAGA cult members of this moment 24 years ago.

The UCP is rejecting the Federal government's offer to provide $10/day daycare to Albertans, because Premier Smith does not want not-for-profit providers and can only work out a deal if it allows full privatization. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #abpoli #cdnpoli

Horrible!

These are all owned by POST MEDIA which is an American company. Find your news somewhere that isn’t compromised.

Serious question.

Now what sleazy plan is Trump and his gang plotting? #Ukraine “Ukraine opposition leaders confirm talks with US but deny plotting to oust Zelenskyy” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

All Canadians should watch this very short clip. 😂 Be proud! 🇨🇦 #Cdnpoli x.com/TheBreakdown...

Seen in Canada…

No shortage of selective outrage

An American speaks sensibly.

I learned this morning that a president doesn't have the power to impose tariffs unilaterally except under the auspices of "national security" So I now understand why the non existent "fentanyl from Canada" crisis is being invoked. It is a cover to ruin our economy to facilitate annexation.

As a Kentuckian, it's honestly for the best if Jack Daniel's crashes and burns. Drink better whiskey.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
