Canada needs to immediately suspend Elon Musk's X and Starlink operations until aninvestigation can be conducted into his transnational activities, including use of X and Starlink to influence democracies, campaign financing threats against US elected officials, and activities within the US govt.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

US could cut Ukraine's access to Starlink internet services over minerals, say sources www.reuters.com/business/us-...

"These kinds of shocks are going to lead to a mass exodus … for minorities in particular.” For my latest @science.org story, I spoke with early career researchers who have been affected by the federal upheaval and are concerned about what it means for their future. www.science.org/content/arti...

"Ford has maintained that he didn’t know what was going on at the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, & had no idea how the parcels of land carved out of the Greenbelt were chosen." WELL HE SHOULD HAVE!" I don't believe it. He's lied before. He can't be trusted! thenarwhal.ca/ontario-elec...

PP's ad was booed 👏👏👏 vm.tiktok.com/ZMkcut3LB/

They keep showing us exactly who they are.

This military purge is about Trump installing loyalists in every senior role, just as he filled his cabinet with sycophants and enablers willing to carry out his dangerous and illegal orders. This won’t end well for our country.

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

Justin Trudeau, Doug Ford, & John Tory were all at the Raptors Championship parade in 2019. The ONLY one to get booed was Doug Ford. It's 5.5 years later. Doug Ford forces an election and is leading in the polls? This is like a Twilight Zone or Black Mirror episode. #OnPoli

While Grimes was pleading with ketamine freak, Elon Musk for help with a medical situation involving one of their children, he was at CPAC ignoring her and pulling this shit. Tell me more about their 'family values.'

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

The police misconduct database has been eliminated by the Department of Justice on Trump‘s order. America just became a much more dangerous place, particularly for people of color. As we know that they are disproportionately affected by police brutality. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Unlike PP who hid in his mansion, the PM celebrated with Canadians. vm.tiktok.com/ZMkcHJSjc/

"Efforts to privatize the Postal Service, in whole or in part, or to strip it of its independence or public service mission, would be of no benefit to the American people...it would drive up postage rates & lead to reduced service, especially to rural America." #FuckTrump apwu.org/news/stateme...

Two corrupt Con assholes supporting one another. This is news??? They're in power through the use of undemocratic tactics, voter suppression. Both are fake patriots selling public assets for private profit. Ditch Ford. Get out the vote and vote strategically! Vote.ca globalnews.ca/news/1101262...

WTFU America!

I hate this timeline

~Yes, there's big money in it for private surgical facilities and those opening the door for them. People are losing their lives, suffering all for them to profit hugely. Danielle Smith, the UCP and her pals have no shame, no ethics or morals. #UCPCorruption #UCPPublicInquiryNow

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

Huh. Weird, eh?

lardass fucked up again. As part of the discovery process, CBS has asked for lardass personal, business and campaign financials. Don't see him allowing that can of worms to be opened. 😎😎😎 lawandcrime.com/high-profile...

Voted today in Ontario. When we told them that we haven't received voter cards yet, they said that very few had. ID was quickly verified and we voted no problem. Don't fret if you haven't received your card in the mail.

Dear Australian, despite your perception that China is distant, you’re not immune to China’s expansionist goal.

🇨🇦My husband & I voted today at the Ontario Advance Poll. We stood in line for about 15 minutes. The clerk said they had registered 1966 votes up until that point over 2 days. I asked if that was a good turnout. He said they'd expected about 1000. I hope that's a positive sign for change. 🚫Ford

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

The cover of Spiegel: "Betrayed—first Zelensky, then us. The US sells out its allies."

This is how it’s done.

Canada has been named among the top 5 countries with the most freedom. The United States ranked 59th.

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

Fishy is fishy...... A Liberal Party of Canada committee has voted unanimously to disqualify former MP Ruby Dhalla from the leadership race, according to a source. Dhalla was accused of failing to disclose the involvement of a non-Canadian citizen in her campaign. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Peace plan.

“The MAGA cancer has been growing within Canada for years, aided by a Conservative Party whose ideology is dominated by American-funded libertarian think tanks that traffic in disinformation.”

🇨🇦Canada is not broken.

Ruby Dhalia is being kicked out of the LPC leadership race due to credit card fraud of her supporters and multiple people using the same credit cards to donate #cdnpoli

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, *to us*

Yeah, these federal workers actually understand what they do for us and how devastating these cuts are for us. It'd be great if the media could explain that clearly instead of taking Elon Musk's word that he's magically produced "savings" that come with no downside.

1 yr after a WY man shocked the world by running over a wolf in his snowmobile, carrying her into a rural bar and letting friends snap selfies with her before killing her, state lawmakers are still refusing to ban "whacking" outright. A majority of WY residents want to ban the practice.

If this Republican congressman is, in fact, found guilty of assaulting a woman, he'll make a great addition to Trump's Cabinet.
