Take note.

MISINFORMATION ALERT Air Canada is misrepresenting its obligations under the Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) to passengers travelling to and from Dubai @ana-kom.bsky.social

Phasing out NIH’s HIV clinical guidelines is flat-out immoral and unethical. These guidelines drive early diagnosis, ART initiation, and viral suppression—82% linked to care within 30 days, 69% virally suppressed by 6 months. Removing them puts millions of lives at risk. wapo.st/3FQovhf

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

WTF? Trump is now threatening the American people. He warned protesters to stay away from his birthday/military parade in D.C. this Saturday, claiming anyone who shows up to protest “hates our country” and will be met with “very heavy force.” This is authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.

I just watched CTV news at 5 pm. Not one word about LA and the use of the military. They had room to do a story in the escaped zebra in the US, but not something that makes Trump look bad. I think CTV is making it clear where they stand.

#Canada’s domestic tourism industry could net billions due to U.S. trade war: report In a report released May 29, the Conference Board of Canada estimates the net economic benefit for the domestic tourism sector could be as high as $8.8 billion. #Canada #Tourism /1 www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...

The guy will be gone by fall!

www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch... Hey Canada, meet our US ambassador. What a lying liar. Don’t believe a word that comes out of this lying bigot’s mouth. What an insult to Canada. He should be sent packing. #HoekstraIsALyingLiar #BoycottUSA #ElbowsUp

That’s what someone on ketamine would say

It seems leopards really don’t change their spots! I understand that the German auto industry is struggling but given VWs history this sits very badly with me. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Just a reminder. We need to divest in US made products to support home-grown goods. Shopping Canadian can be confusing. Here is a brief overview of how to understand origin claims on food labels, aka the Canadian identifier, so you can shop smarter. #buycanadian #supportcanadianeconomy

Say no to the golden handcuffs. This is a multibillion scam that will force Canada further into the military "protection" of the authoritarian regime in Washington. It is about making us a vassal state. We need to put the protection of our interests as top priority for military investments.

How Unilever has been trying to silence Ben & Jerry’s and is now threatening to defund their foundation for civil justice. The drive for profit over people is aggressive. Boycott Unilever!

Kudos to whoever fixed this lunatic’s Memorial Day post…

Carrie Tait of the Globe and Mail does another blockbuster story about the UCP government & Turkish Tylenol, and then first thing Monday, the UCP not only starts banning books, but does a presser to make sure we all know about it. Figure it out, #ableg. It’s not brain surgery.

Pierre Poilievre, speaking to caucus yesterday, referred to what I can only assume are the anti-genocide protests as “rampaging antisemitic riots.” He got a standing ovation. For seemingly pledging to crack down on people who want a genocide stopped. Very “free speech” of him. Fucking foul

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.

I need a seat! #cdnpoli

I think the attention Premier Wab Kinew is getting is a great thing because I’m hoping it will not only renew interest in politics but renew and inspire interest in learning more about our Indigenous communities and their cultures- particularly among young folk. #cdnpoli #mbpoli

@KenChapman fighting against #separatism in #Alberta and advocating for a #united #Canada coast to coast. In a short time, he has over 200 volunteers canvassing for Canadian uniting in the province of Alberta. #OneCanadaUnited #CanadaUnited #KenChapman #ABPOLI open.substack.com/pub/kenchapm...

Which is why we need school food programs Something Poilievre voted against. #cdnpoli

Here’s a fun fact from Wally Crawler on TikTok & ChatGPT: Number 1 is #PP Number 4 is #DanielleSmith #ConsGottaCon #disinformation

MP expenses for 2024 are out and @PierrePoilievre spent nearly a million more than Trudeau and Singh COMBINED. #cdnpoli

I love that Pope Leo XIV's first private meeting with a world leader after his inauguration was with President Zelenskyy. I bet JD Vance is seething. Was Donald even invited to the event? 🍿

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat... Trump administration says Afghan refugees can safely return to Afghanistan despite warnings from rights groups and lawmakers that Afghans who worked for the U.S. military face the threat of persecution, imprisonment and even execution by the Taliban regime.

“The Food Standards Agency (FSA) estimates that approximately one in 28 people suffer from some form of foodborne illness every year in the UK. Not great. But in America, around one in six people experience some form of food poisoning ever year. Definitely much worse.”

Just look at the impressive qualifications of Canadian ministers being sworn in today, then compare that to the qualifications of cabinet appointees of Donald Trump. It makes me proud to be Canadian and proud to not be American. Canada has it right. We will lead the way. #CanadaStrong #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre lost his seat and yet he refuses to leave the 19 room mansion that comes with a chef and groundskeepers - all paid for by the taxpayer. It is for the leader of the opposition "who is in Parliament." A grifter is going to grift. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6ZH...

This made me laugh. The Alberta Separatist group has released their suggested question wording. As someone who was trained in questionnaire methodology and who ran a survey organization, I'm sorry to tell them that their question is leading and biased. #cdnpoli

Canada named most positive leader on world stage #Canada #cdnpoli cultmtl.com/2025/03/cana...

Q: “The president signed an executive order…threatening to defund sanctuary cities for their policies. Why not just arrest the leaders who are harboring and shielding illegal aliens from deportation?” Tom Homan: “Wait to see what's coming.”

OK, I needed a good laugh today.

Congratulations, Canada Axed The Ass

As a Canadian, seeing these Americans giggle at the idea of taking our sovereignty is fucking harrowing and offensive.

you know when you laugh so hard it’s just silence and seal claps #cdnpoli #canada

TODAY! Vote like your life depends on it — because it does 🇨🇦 “The person who becomes prime minister will have to deal with one of the very worst people on Earth right now, as he attempts to destroy the global economy and annex Canada. We need a very strong leader for the next 4 years.”
