Here’s how to fix this. Just call the show “why are Canadians so pissed off at us, at NPR, at NYT, and anyone else who thinks it’s a fun thought experiment to annex our country?” Then let Canadians call in and tell you why they’re mad. And make the Americans listen. Don’t ever say “51st state.”

We're very fair to Canada. But they're not fair to us. We invite them. Come and play in Boston. Beautiful city. Boston, Muskachusetts. The perfect city really. But Canada. Very unfair. We give them two goals. Very fair. But Canada takes more goals. Not very fair, right? Goal tariffs. It's happening.

No we ain't going anywhere. But if they need some players to help get them back on their feet after tackling Team Canada we might be willing to help. Maybe.

Did the US just become the 11th province of Canada? Someone should ask Premier Trump.

New from me in the Globe: It makes no sense to renegotiate the USMCA with a country that can’t be trusted to follow it and isn’t following it right now. Canada should not renegotiate the USMCA and should consider withdrawing from this dead-letter agreement. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

Can we also keep in mind that while Zelenskyy like Churchill 1940-45 postponed elections, Trump in peacetime tried to overturn by violence an election he lost - and has since pardoned all the co-conspirators in his attempted coup?

These barely-sentient people who believe deranged stuff like “we should make Canada the 51st state so they can vote for us” must be purged from the Democrat party.

Canada has its own "Tech Bros" who are aligning with the Conservative Party. They want a freer reign and like Zuckerberg, Bezos and Musk they see the right as the most easy to make use of and align with #Canada #BigTech #PierrePoilievre thelogic.co/news/the-big...

That our biggest newspaper chain is foreign owned was probably never a good idea. But as we face an erratic US president it becomes more urgent to ask: If Postmedia needed to choose between what’s good for its American owners and what’s good for Canada, what would they choose? How would we know?

the republican party showed more resistance to a moderate democrat who happened to be black than the democratic party has shown to the full dismantling of the federal government in service of a fascist take over.

If the allegations surrounding the UCP and AHS are true, it means they had a vested interest in not hiring surgeons in the public health care system. Hiring surgeons and expanding capacity in the public system would be competition, taking money and cases from the private CSFs.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

Interesting to see how quickly American foreign policy pivoted from "Get clean drinking water for children without hope" to "Do ethnic cleansing for condos with Mediterranean views."

if the president’s lackeys can functionally seize control of treasury funds and dismantle a congressionally-created agency without consequence, it’s not that it’s a constitutional crisis as much as it means the constitution is vapor.

The fossil fuel industry will try to tell you that this crisis is a good reason to expand their infrastructure. It is not. We need to expect that they will always use every opportunity they can to advocate for more enrichment of their pockets. We must reject that. There is a better way.
