We are taking the fight for our country to the streets. The American consulate in Toronto weren't happy. They called the cops. They don't think we have a right to march on our own city sidewalks. #elbowsup

Danielle Smith says out loud what most Canadians fear about Pierre Poilievre: “…but I would say, on balance, the perspective that Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America,” she added.” #cdnpoli #ableg www.breitbart.com/politics/202...

A man winds up, hurling his fist directly at your face. You watch every movement. As his knuckles are millimeters from your nose you announce, defiantly, "At any moment now, this man could punch me in the face. But we're not there yet."

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.

This shit is not funny, it's not cute, all you Yankees can fuck off into the fucking sun. Tell him to stop. Do not repeat it. Do not spread it. Do not joke about it. We are a sovereign country. FUCK. OFF.

The boycott grows stronger every day. #elbowsup

I don’t understand why the president is allowed to spout nonsense about colonizing another country and the 25th amendment isn’t being invoked in addition to all the other horrors this is insane. It’s absolutely insane. It isn’t funny or even weird.

Elbows* up. *Electricity Levies Because Of Washington's Stupidity

I think it's really important to get comfortable describing what's happening in the United States as fascism. That's not a hyperbolic or manipulative term. It is just the accurate description. Once you get comfortable naming it as fascism, it changes the way you view the entire project.

The convoy crew held the people of Ottawa hostage and tried to divide people with rage politics. No wonder they are freaked out by Canadian solidarity and goodwill. They promote bitterness. We stand for a better nation. #elbowsup my friends Canada is strong.

It “came to be seen as deadly serious” pretty darn quickly by a lot of people, actually. Some publications had to publish a pro-annexation opinion column and political fanfic about how an occupied country would vote before they used their big brains to realize that.

This was a major theme of the debates over pandemic protocols. People who opposed vaccine and mask mandates simply didn't fucking care about other people, and they projected accusations of fascism on those who did.

You've been asking yourself "where is the Canadian guy"? But you knew he would show up just when we needed him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ozb...

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario's website right now: "Service Unavailable Our site is temporarily unavailable while we remove U.S. products in response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods."

Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

Feels more vital than ever before for Canada to have its own public information infrastructure, including news outlets and online distribution systems, not wholly controlled by American actors.

What's funny about this controversy over King Charles not commenting on Trump re: Canada is that it appears it is largely anti-monarchists who literally want the King to go rogue and act without political direction from the duly elected government of the day.

I’ve watched enough mafia movies to know that if you’re gonna shakedown a pillar of the community, you do it in private, you make it clear they’re not to tell anyone, maybe you put a couple of your goons on the front door so no one comes in. Because it’s shameful. You don’t do it on live television

I'm struggling to get over what we saw today. The amount of gaslighting, cruelty, ignorance, abject cowardice, arrogance, indifference to human life, and deceit we saw from Trump and Vance...we saw behavior we associate with enemies of the United States inside the Oval Office. That's traumatizing.

Former French President, Francois Hollande said, "The US government under President Trump is no longer an ally." He is correct. Listen to Canada, Mexico, France, Germany, Ukraine. Hear what real leaders are telling you. Believe them because they are right. This is not a drill.

”Fuck off“ NDP MP Charlie Angus had some choice words for convoy livestreamer Chris Dacey after Dacey and his gang of far-right activists followed Angus around at a pro-Ukraine protest outside the Russian Embassy in Ottawa this afternoon
