No one sold Canada out to foreign countries more than Conservatives: Sold INCO to Brazil Sold STELCO to USA Sold Alberta Gas Nexen To China Sold Wheatboard to Saudi Arabia Lying thieves and con men, Harper Poilievre sold Canadian assets and resources. Never CPC

In December 2022, Pierre Poilievre wrote in a National Post op-ed, “People struggling with addiction belong in treatment, not prison.” Last week, he unashamedly called for many of those same people to be imprisoned for life. Time for a #LogicCheck with @vancolour.bsky.social.

This isn’t about the border for Donald Trump. It's about our water and the critical minerals that Elon Musk needs. Donald Trump has threatened to use economic force to make us the 51st state. Canadians will never let that happen. No chance in hell.

The planet is on fire. Trump and Pierre Poilievre will burn the planet so that corporations can make even more profits. We are witnessing a dismal example of bumper sticker slogans when young people are looking to their leaders to step up. Please watch this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=faZ_...

Trump isn't just a threat to our economy he is threat to democracies everywhere. Under his reign, we can no longer trust the USA. Shop local, buy Canadian. The resistance starts at the grassroots. We have kick ass beer, kick ass coffee and kick ass people. www.villagereport.ca/village-pick...

Not that there's not enough going on in the world right now, but someone has started a fake BlueSky account where they just swapped the last letter of my last name - and took my profile photo and my last post. Please don't follow whoever they are! The real quilter/oceanographer is here!

The tariffs being paused is good news for Canada and Canadian workers. It means standing up to Donald Trump’s threats is working. But his threats won’t stop. We need to make our economy less reliant on unreliable allies. We need to buy Canadian and build Canadian to create good jobs here.

He blinked. 2 days ago Donald demanded our nationhood as the price of peace. Then we hit with $125bil in counter tariffs and pulled American products off the shelf. So now he settles for a fentanyl czar. Canada shows the world how to stand up. But this is ain't over. Don't drop your guard.

I was at the bad place because Trudeau still doesn't have an account here. @liberalca.bsky.social please fix that. Today I officially deleted that X app permanently. I don't know why our government uses an app by someone trying to take down our government, economy and country.

Donald Trump has made it clear. This isn’t about the border. It’s not about a trade deficit. It’s about making Canada the 51st state. This is a threat to our sovereignty. Canadians will stand strong. We will not surrender our water, our health care, our values to Donald Trump.

They say that 1939 Britain stood alone against a despot. That's not true. Canadian kids were signing up in the thousands. We were there to defend British skies. Now Canada stands alone in the face of despotism.and there is crickets from our European allies. But we've got this. Canada. #strongasfuck

Well, it took a major trade war for the CBC to start running trans-positive news articles, but at least they're running them. Transphobia is a cornerstone of Trump's fascist agenda. Reject Trump, embrace our trans siblings.

This is a no-brainer: a Granny who wants to volunteer at a school lunch program has to get a security clearance. And yet Pierre Poilievre who lives in a 19-room mansion funded by the taxpayer refuses or can't get a security clearance. Something stinks here. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...
