Auto parts cross the Canada-U.S. border six times on average before final assembly. In a trade crisis, that’s a vulnerability for our workers. It’s time to build up that supply chain right here in Canada.

Remember: The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

Was at an event tonight and someone’s aunt, who had been a green card holder for 50 years (five decades) went out of country for a visit and was not let back in. She was just deported, for visiting another country. After 50 years. This is not about illegal immigration.

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies. In Denmark: - Health care and college are free.   - The starting wage is $22/hr. - Paid parental leave is 1 year. - Paid vacation is 6 weeks.   - All workers get pensions.

America’s raging inequality is on display. The corrupting power of wealth and giant corporations has never been more clear. Billionaires are running Washington and unleashing a tsunami of big money and legalized bribery. Serious question: Where the hell are the Democrats?

No, Elon. 40% of people who call Social Security's 1-800 number are not fraudsters, Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme & nobody who is 150 years old is getting a Social Security check. Stop the lies. Stop the disinformation. Get your billionaire hands off Social Security.

“There is no reason why they’re being held,” the judge said. “If this was a criminal case. … I’d throw you out of my chambers.” www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

“No one expects to see so many elderly people inside, but in my prison, as well as prisons across the country, there are old or aging people as far as the eye can see.”

This is what it looks like when corporations (and individuals) pay their fair share

Republicans and DOGE are attacking public broadcasting, claiming it's "wasteful" and promotes an "agenda." But spending on public broadcasting is just 0.01% of the federal budget — and funding has bipartisan support. This is part of Trump's bigger war on an educated public.

Moment of clarity today in the Senate where Republicans sided with big banks & against customers. Higher fees, lower transparency. Now it goes to the House - so call your Member of Congress to ask how they’ll vote!

Here’s an unctuous toady who has zero scruples around caring about what could have happened to troops due to the morons running national security and confuses luck with what her actual job is, which is making sure people don’t have to rely on luck to stay alive www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...

Well, they lied. Obviously.

"There was no access to a toilet, so guards told the women – whose accounts in some cases occurred on different days or different buses – to urinate or defecate on the floor... " www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

Danielle Smith admits Pierre Poilievre is aligned with Trump

The Trump regime is threatening to shut down the Social Security Administration in response to a court ruling blocking DOGE from further infiltrating the agency. If your Social Security check is late or doesn't arrive at all, remember who is to blame.

the people who told you to calm down about Roe are the same people telling you to calm down about Social Security, in case you hadn't noticed

BREAKING: Trump's billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won't care if they don't get their Social Security checks — and that anyone who does complain is a fraudster.

The town of Jasper is special to so many Canadians, myself included. The community is still working to rebuild since last summer’s devastating wildfires, and today I’ve announced government funding to help restore and repair critical infrastructure in Jasper National Park.

The US military just purged their website of mentions of the Holocaust, 9/11 remembrance, cancer awareness, sexual assault, and suicide prevention to align with their new “anti-DEI” policies.

⚡️FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY RALLY ⚡️ STARTING TOMORROW. Nevada. Arizona. Colorado. You, me, and Bernie. Dem and GOP districts. ❤️💙 See you there 💪🏽🌞

A strong, secure Arctic is essential to Canada’s sovereignty. The world is changing. Our adversaries are watching. We’re making investments now to keep Canada safe for generations to come. ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/...

I spoke with Prime Minister Albanese over the phone this morning about strengthening Canada and Australia’s trade and defence relationship.   Against tariffs and a shifting global economy, Canada is working with reliable allies to build lasting and resilient ties. @albomp.bsky.social

This is how our government has been corrupted:  1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.  2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.  3) Donors make a huge profit.  4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Thank you President Volodymyr Zelenskyy!

The FBI is trying to criminalize Habitat for Humanity for receiving climate grants from the EPA. Yes, the nonprofit that builds houses for low-income people. This clearly demonstrates just how absurd and extreme the Trump regime has become. It's targeted harassment.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

Lincoln talked about a government of the people, by the people, for the people. Today, with Trump as our president, we have a government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, for the billionaires.

Be kind to a someone today. Everyone is walking around scared. Some are right on the edge and others push it to their unconscious but no one is immune. This plane has all the makings of hell but it can be the opposite when we connect with each other

What a different world we could have.

black student enrollment at the university of virginia barely cracks 7 percent and that is too much for glenn youngkin and his toadies www.baconsrebellion.com/uva-board-di...

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.  Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
