In a world needing limited resources, I believe Canada has to look after its own interests. That should include national investment in strategic resources. Norway made such a decision in 1972 regarding oil and is one of the richest countries in the world. www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-bu...

The most striking thing to me over the last couple days is how effortlessly and shamelessly Trump officials and Danielle Smith lie when confronted with the truth, whether it's a leaked war plan chat or a request for the Trump admin to help Poilievre by easing tariff attacks until after the election.

Canada 🇨🇦 stands with Greenland 🇬🇱 #cdnpoli

Pandering to incel basement dwellers is quite the campaign strategy and they are both doing it and I am furious as to why youngish men get to behave like assholes and have the entire political establishment cater to their fragile feelings.

Traitor. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

@mark-carney.bsky.social is the guy for Canada right now. Don’t let the yanks sell us deathtraps.

Dear Canada: if Trump pauses tariffs, it's because he wants Pierre ParlezVous to be elected so he can destroy us a month later. Be smarter than Trump; be smarter than Pierre. Be smarter than Stephen Harper. Elect the only adult on the stage - Carney.

Danielle Smith crossed the floor. Then she crossed the border. Now she's crossed the line. Time to go. Well said, @martychan.bsky.social.

The thing about Danielle Smith is she is such an effective and skilled communicator she can tell you your hair is blue and it takes most people a minute to realize it isn’t. She is always full of shit. Articulate shit, but shit none the less. She works on behalf of O&G & screws Albertans every time

Danielle Smith did us a favour by showing us she and Poilievre are working with the Trump administration, beyond that she is Alberta’s problem.

Danielle Smith’s power as a Premier comes from the Feds, we don’t have “State’s rights” in Canada and they can step in anytime. Learn about our system of government, it’s not the same as 🇺🇸. She is not as powerful as she leads you to believe. #cdnpoli

People in Alberta really believe like Danielle Smith does in some fictional outsized influence she has. No, she is just the loudest and most annoying Premier who is a traitor and a constant headache to the rest of Canada. Not influential, annoying. Like Ron Desantis (for Americans).

If you learn one thing about how the Canadian 🇨🇦 government works today make it this: the Federal government controls all exports of oil and rare earth minerals and no Premier can override them no matter how big a hissy fit they throw. It is not the same as States in 🇺🇸. #cdnpoli #Canada #uspol

It’s worth reminding people what Poilievre thinks of Canadians, "It's not the American's fault. It is our fault. We're stupid." Not surprising that Canada is being flooded with disinformation from a number of sources - not the least of which are the Russians. 👇

Danielle Smith is a traitor #Canada 🇨🇦

Premier Danielle Smith is the CEO of the Maple MAGA Fan Club. When Trump says “jump” she asks “how high?”

This had to be asked because it was not clear. If we had #cdnmedia who did their jobs, the follow-up would be “Then why when women’s rights are under threat around the world and in Canada would you remove the Ministry of Women during Women’s history month ? #cdnpoli

If this is true then we need Canadian officials to understand the vulnerability of the #F35 supply chain to American decisions. If this is true then we need to drop the F-35 and buy a different fighter.

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

Premier Scott Moe is a traitor to Canada #Saskatchewan #UnitedStates #traitors #Canada #Alberta www.ckom.com/2025/03/20/s...

It’s soul-breaking to watch a man think he has to win by throwing everyone but men under the bus because that is what the other guy is doing and his advisors are suggesting. Yes, sovereignty is #1, but once we save the country, what kind of country do we want to be? Because I don’t recognize it rn.

Quisling (noun): a traitor who collaborates with an enemy force.

How policies creep rightward election after election. You can, of course, intend to vote for the Liberals *and* not let your vote be taken for granted. Voters never have more leverage than during a crucial election. Progressive policies would be *winning* policies.

Yes, we know the replies that it's just temporary, it's a transition thing, it's strategic to take away conservative talking points about woke, whatever. It's a bad signal, period. Now is the time to make that clear. Not after the election.

Look, straight up, Danielle Smith is a traitor. Demand her resignation. Do something Alberta. You’re being sold to the Orange Menace.

WestJet's headquarters? Calgary AB...

Hi World 🌎 Come visit 🇨🇦❤️

Sneaky little hobbitses, wicked, tricksy, false. Come on, #Sobeys; you can do better. #ProductOfCanada 🇨🇦

She is openly collaborating with the country trying to annex us. We have treason laws on the books for a reason but like 🇺🇸, our political class are entirely above the law in Canada 🇨🇦. We saw it with the foreign interference report and we are watching it live with the sovereignty crisis. #cdnpoli

Smith says the quiet part out loud. “Poilievre is more aligned with what’s going on down there”. #TheBankerOrTheWanker

This is how law firms should do it.

Don’t go silent. Don’t let rabid Liberals make you not vote. I’m listening. Carney has made a lot of mistakes, we’ll push him to do better. If you feel like you’re disengaging, don’t. We need your help to push for better. If the trolls get bad tag me in. We beat Poilievre, and then we breathe 🔥

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

I’m on board for this. Canadians, we can do this. We can be #1 in the G7 if we all step up & visualize a prosperous future to leave our grandchildren. Prime Minister Carney has the vision & the roadmap. #cdnpoli #Carney4PM #NeverVoteConservative #PierrePoilievreIsUnfit

Who?

Stop saying the problem is Trump. An entire political party, namely the one in power, likes what he is doing and the other, supposedly the opposition, is going along with nearly everything rather than resisting. It's not one man, it's America.

‘Who’?! 😖

We need to stop saying things like, "careening towards" and "approaching" YOU ARE IN A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. FORGET THE FROG AND POT ANALOGIES. YOU ARE THERE. MARCH. PROTEST. YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. And, unfortunately, so does a lot of the rest of the world. So. Get on it, Americans.
