Ukraine is not a treasure trove of critical minerals. There are a lot of stable countries that are far richer and advanced in critical minerals and rare earths. South America and Africa are far easier to access, but you have to pay for them. Trump is all about ripping off a country in crisis.

Many Canadians got to know Anita Anand during the pandemic — when she calmly informed us each day that more and more vaccines were arriving in Canada. She’s a dedicated public servant and good friend, and I’m so glad she’s running again. Now, let’s go win this, together.

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

I’m confused by all the headline references to a “shouting match.” I saw one side shouting and the other side getting shouted over when he tried to talk.

Our country is facing an existential crisis. These times are too critical and too significant to our country’s future for me to step away now. I look forward to continuing to serve and to running in the next federal election.

Canada needs to continue to support Ukraine, no matter what. We also need to: drastically increase our defence spending, formulate a defence strategy against a possible U.S. invasion, & work with Europe to establish a European army. We can no longer trust the USA.

The disgraceful behaviour in the White House is not about Trump or Vance. It is about the complicity of the entire political class of the United States and the American media. It is about the very soul of America. They either stand up for democracy or they stand for tyranny. The world is watching.

I've been in a meeting and just had a chance to watch the Zelenskyy exchange, and threw up in my mouth a little. Canada needs to get serious about the post-US world order and fast.

Trump has based his ENTIRE tariff attack on Canada on the claim that 43 pounds of fentanyl, of the 4,500 that entered the United States last year, came through the northern border. This investigation found that the actual figure is closer to zero www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

The media better stop calling the Zelenskyy press conference a “heated exchange”. Call it what it was, a crazy, inappropriate, unhinged, shakedown, by a madman and his lapdog.

There are a couple of errors in this @telegraphnews.bsky.social story which are irritating me: the reporter uses "Ontario" when I'm pretty sure he means "Ottawa" and says Canada has already levied retaliatory tariffs - that is not the case. www.yahoo.com/news/white-h...

If the SCC can come to this (obvious) conclusion, I wonder when most of Canada's politicians and journalists will. 'X' is not a conduit to disseminating truth or creating reasonable discourse, it's a profit-making cesspool of disinformation for Elon Musk. If you're on it, you're part of the problem.

It just hit me that across every dimension Trump is destroying a full century of human progress. Free trade, the norm against aggression, vaccines and public health, desegregation, victory against fascism and ethno-nationalism. All onto the bonfire. One of the greatest criminals in history.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he will end a month-long pause and slap a 25% tariff on most Canadian goods as of March 4, claiming it's because "drugs are still pouring into our country" despite evidence that a crackdown at the border is working. #cdnpoli #uspoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

One reason I don't think Canada can ever count on the United States again is that it's not just Trump. The modern right in America is fully boiled in total lunacy, hatred, idiocy, racism, sexism, homophobia, and every other hatred. They're QAnon maniacs, and it's still getting worse.

Not sure if Canada’s media is paid to look away or just too lazy to organize the facts—so I did it for them. Every major Doug Ford scandal in one place. Maybe they should report on it again instead of letting this corrupt sack of shit skate. #VoteFordOut www.crankycartoons.com/blog/doug-fo...
