A reflection on Canada and the dark times we are living in. We are no longer just playing shinny. The stakes are dangerously high. When Mike Myers gave the "elbows up" sign, we know what to do. Read my latest Substack here on why Canada won't break. charlieangus.substack.com/p/elbows-up?...

When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up." It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team. You heard him Canada: elbows up. If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

Imagine being a teenage girl now. Your male peers are all watching Andrew Tate and doing Nazi salutes and every week the most prestigious magazines in the world run a piece about how it’s a social emergency that you’re not having babies in the 10th grade.

Pete Navarro claims the US is going to redraw our borders. Not in a million years. This is the Trump/Putin playbook. Ukraine is the forward trench in the fight for democracy. Canada is the second line. Canadians will hold firm. Read my latest Substack here: charlieangus.substack.com/p/a-message-...

You need to be on the phone with your reps daily. If you need help knowing what to say when you call, follow @jesscraven101.bsky.social. What Tr*mp did to our ally Ukraine is deeply unpopular with Republicans, and they need to be flooded with calls from their constituents outraged over this betrayal

Here is my latest reflection. The attack on President Zelenskyy shattered the last of our wishful thinking. Many countries hoped that if they fawned over him, he would pick on someone else. Now we know: that we either stand up or get dragged into the abyss. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-washin...

America... you are losing, and have lost, so much respect/influence/regard in an INCREDIBLY short time thanks to the Trump regime. It is absolutely shocking.

The world has witnessed the most disgraceful political tantrum of all time. Trump is not the leader of the "free world." He is convicted felon who doesn't deserve to be in the same room as President Zelenskyy. There is no going along to get along with this thug. Canada needs to stand with Ukraine.

This is what the resistance looks like. The protesters for Ukraine are the best of our nation. Good Canadians. Every day, they stand peacefully outside the Russian Embassy fence which is strung with barbed wire. Russian staff wear MAGA hats. I stand with Ukraine. I oppose the Putin/Trump gang.

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.

Feb 28 is the national boycott of American companies. Tomorrow I am holding a press conference with Quebec Amazon employees who were fired by Jeff Bezos. He is a toxic oligarch and a pal of Trump. I am calling on all Canadians to support the Amazon workers and boycott this shitty company.

Canadians across the country are rallying behind a petition to revoke Elon Musk's citizenship. He wasn't born in Canada. He represents profoundly anti-democratic values. In Canada citizens can present these petitions to Canada’s parliament. I support them. charlieangus.substack.com/p/musk-doesn...

We kicked holocaust denier Ernst Zündel out of Canada. Why the hell would we let Elon Musk have any claim on Canada? He is a fascist threatening the people of Ukraine. I am proud to be helping drive this asshole from our shores. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Please read my latest reflection. There are lies we tell to comfort ourselves. Like Democrats who say we just have to wait two year and Trump will lose control of the House. Like those in Germany who promoted Hitler while believing they could control him. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-reichs...

Your good new story for the day. I just received a message from a landlord in Florida. He has lost over $30,000 in rentals since Canadians began the boycott. Canadians are doing their part. LET'S TAKE THE BOYCOTT INTERNATIONAL. We invite allied nations to boycott all things American.

Here's my latest reflection on a lesson I learned from a woman who was in the second tower on 9/11. When the world is turned upside down taking action is the only way to survive. Our democracy is under threat but politicians are still living in 2024. charlieangus.substack.com/p/no-return-...

Vance's attack on democracy in Munich is a dangerous breach. Canada has never been more alone and more threatened than now. But Trump is overseeing the divided States of America. We are more unified than ever. We will defend democracy from gangsters. charlieangus.substack.com/p/jd-vances-...

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.
