Canada will never be the 51st State but the U.S has already become Russia’s 47th Oblast.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

Let's be clear that Danielle Smith,Scott Moe,and Pierre Poilievre are not advocates for freedom of expression nor freedom of the press. They are oppressors of it when it comes to those who go against their narrative, and those who would hold them accountable. Proof. Defunding CBC. Breakdown lawsuit.

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

DOGE is filled with people who sadly could have done oddly well in undergrad economics. Many of my colleagues would use this as a brag, but this makes me sad

Live video footage of Doug Ford protecting Ontario.

Not great. ottawacitizen.com/news/nationa...

Isn’t it nuclear powered hypocrisy watching Cons as they suddenly feel Carney needs to come clean under scrutiny NOW while their leader Poilievre still won’t get a more-important security clearance? The Con desperation & panic is palpable.

"A war criminal and a convicted felon are deciding the future of Ukraine. If we are silent in allowing Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to carve up Ukraine it is a repeat of Munich 1938. We cannot allow this to happen.” - Charlie Angus, NATO meetings Brussels www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_hq...

Share if you are are one of the people this doesn’t sit well with.

Are you unhappy with Doug Ford but not voting? You’re helping him win. Opposition parties need to stop splitting the anti-Ford vote. Every vote counts. Every vote cast against Ford makes it harder for him to win. #OnPoli

An incredibly important exchange here for more reasons than one. It’s worth it to note: this DOJ lawyer, Jason Lynch, is tanking his credibility in defense of an insidious, pretextual, and asinine Trump Administration policy. This kind of stuff will forever haunt you professionally.

The boycott is Canada's first line of defence in a long and hard fight against gangsters and fascists. When American politicians see the mounting job losses they will start getting rattled. My message to the world is to join the boycott of all things American. No pasaran. Canada #strongasfuck

DEAR MEDIA: STOP FRAMING THE UNIVERSITY BUDGET CRISIS AS PRIMARILY ABOUT INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. THIS IS A CRISIS CAUSED BY PROVINCIAL FUNDING CUTS AND TUITION CAPS. calgary.citynews.ca/2025/02/18/p...

Fascinated by the anti EDIA pro meritocracy whit man crowd talking about this Iqaluit base idea seem to have 0 knowledge of the Nunavut Lands and Resources Devolution Agreement. John Ivison: The Arctic is Trump's obsession. Not every Canadian leader seems to understand that - National Post

Good Morning ❣️ Woke up to an email from Mark Carney. This part struck me, so I'm sharing it with you 👇 It's a message Mr. Carney should be sharing every day. #MarkCarney #canpoli

Canada, Greenland, Denmark, Panama, and Gaza could not immediately be reached for comment

That debate served to confirm two things for me. Stiles and Schreiner are the more … seemingly trustworthy … of all the leaders. Most personable. Most self-assured. And Doug will win the election because the Ontario Liberals didn’t elect Nate Erskine-Smith.

This is Jamil Jivani. Jamil is a one of Pierre Poilievre's MPs - he replaced Erin O'Toole in Durham, ON in March of 2024. Based on his own Instagram post from 2019, he is great friends with JD Vance (now VP to Trump). Conservatives can not be trusted with our sovereignty.

They're more concerned about not offending the "MAGA right" than defending their own country. Conservatives have suddenly cornered the market on self-loathing Canadians. Enjoy the fruits of your labours.

This is Pierre Poilievre’s campaign manager. Need we say more?

Canadians should be upset at the fact that Pierre Poilievre used our flag day, our day of pride, to hold a campaign rally, spewing hate & lies, bashing the Liberals. Today of all days, He is a disgusting little vermin that is unfit to lead. What a disrespect to our flag and country. AXE THE ASS

Captures it perfectly.

Mark Carney 🇨🇦 When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand. They see Canada, and the best of our values. Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #peipoli

As far as silver linings from the tariff crisis go, rehabilitating the 🇨🇦 flag from the freedumbers is a nice outcome.

Deer My Friends I was very busy this weak protecting Ontario from the very brilliunt Donald Trump and his teariffs and I will not rest intil I have protected Ontario and saved millions of jobs and solved Ontarios housing problem by building more highways and introdoosing the death penalty. Premair

Thanks, Elon. My salary is public, as is my financial report. But since you ask, when will you be releasing yours?

This statement by Trump's Press Secretary is literal fascism. It's already here. Meanwhile, most Americans appear absolutely apathetic about it.

Is Doug still buying Starlink from his best bud’s friend?

President Trump seems to think he can suspend the laws of the United States, of international trade, and of economics. The American Congress and US courts will decide for themselves how they will address these violations of Presidential powers. (1/3)
