O'🇨🇦! #canada #canadasky #freedom #nevervoteconservative

Kevin O'Leary to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup, rough quote: "The Canadian dollar has dropped 40% against the US dollar under Trudeau." Fact check: the CAD has dropped 34% from the 2011 peak, but just 4% of that drop happened under Trudeau. The big drop happened under Harper.

#Canada #BuyCanadian #BuyLocal 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🍁🍁🍁

So. The CBC is airing disinformation from an anti-Canadian quisling now. My family’s supported CBC for three generations. Wondering if CBC deserves to be funded after this self-inflicted idiocy. #CBC #cdnpoli #Canada #Alberta #yyc #CanadaSky 🇨🇦

Americans this blackout day is for you too. Democrats get ready 💙 I’ve already seen a drop of shoppers at our local walmart #boycott American companies esp ones that support #project2025 #wearetheresistance #canadasky #americasky 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Pierre Poilievre doesn't hate *all* media - just the ones who hold him accountable. To him, they’re a “small cabal of government-approved mouthpieces.” That’s what he told Candice Malcolm, co-founder of True North (and wife of a Shopify executive) in a recent one-on-one sit down. Oh, the irony.

This little dictator in waiting wants to defund the CBC and give the funding to right-wing news outlets. After witnessing the fall of the US empire because of these propaganda outlets, OVER MY DEAD BODY PIERRE. Share this please, every Canadian needs to know. 🇨🇦

What makes you think Canadians would vote Democrats? What’s your track record on universal healthcare, universal child care, a women’s right to choose, supporting horrific invasions, massacres, and coups, and protecting citizens from gun violence? No thanks, I’m voting and fighting for Canada

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

While conservatives try to force pregnancies on us, the Liberals and NDP actually made family life easier and more affordable by striking a deal with each province on reducing the costs of child care. Child care for my little one went down from $1500 to $400 in the course of 2 years.

Canada First: because the best way to stand up to a despot who is threatening your country’s economy and its sovereignty is to use a bargain basement derivative of that despots slogan! #CanadaSky #ABC

Killing women and babies one law at a time. 🚩🤬📌

80% of Canada's NATO spending directly benefits the United States! Mark J Carney 🇨🇦 says he will not promise to continue sending taxpayers dollars to the country that is currently threatening us! "We need to spend more of that money here in 🇨🇦 Canada." #cdnpoli #peipoli

Please Canadians, pay attention and make your call, email, freaking carrier pigeon for all I care, just do it

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u.... I am gifted this article because it’s IMPORTANT. It’s long and it explains in detail why Musk got involved. It’s plain and simple corruption and “possibly” criminal activity. Crime boss type of action.

Americans, they bring drugs, they bring guns, some, I assume, are good people.

Why am I not surprised at this? 'Border Crisis' was just the excuse he was using to be able to circumvent the FTA and impose his tariffs. #Canada🇨🇦https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-complaints-drugs-guns-border-1.7457605

There may be people like Frank in the world, but don’t stop dreaming of the robins ❤️https://youtube.com/watch?v=ncnq2pu4PlE

This is all 'the battle.' There isn't 'waiting for the right' one anymore. They know precisely what they are doing and it's meant to keep us pacing back and forth waiting for the 'right battle.' Stop dicking around and pick any battle. Get in the fight now. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

I recently waited almost 15 hours in an Ontario ER seeking treatment for an injured ankle. My 40 year old school is dilapidated and the educators there are overworked and disheartened. I have no interest in giving Doug Ford a stronger mandate. #onted #onpoli #NeverVoteConservative

I too am part of the 82% that support full retaliation against Trumps tariffs. We will need to help each other out to weather the economic storm, but the US needs to realize that there are consequences for threatening and bullying other nations. I hope the rest of the world will do their part too

Well said Chrétien. He may be 91, but he’s not too old to give Trump, Musk, and their lackeys his signature Shawinigan handshake #Strongandfree #Canada #vivelecanada #fuckpoilievre #fucktrump #fuckmusk

'CANADA economy grew 41% under Trudeau; 18% under Harper AND Pierre Poilievre' 'Per capita income grew 23% under Trudeau; 7.6% under Harper/Poilievre' Pierre Poilievre's genius idea is to REPEAT THE SAME proven economic trickle down policy FAILURE of Harper. #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/business/say...

#NeverPoilievre FACTS re:Trudeau Economic growth: Trudeau=41% Harper=18%. Income growth: Trudeau yrs=23% Harper decade=7.6% Median Can. net worth soared 66% between 2016 & 2023 In the G-7 only 🇩🇪 GDP/Debt ratio outperformed 🇨🇦 Trudeau reduced poverty from 14.5% to 9.0% (Cont.)🧵👇🏽

All Canadians need to watch this video to understand what a threat Pierre Poilievre is if elected! He wants to take away healthcare and many established social programs that many Canadians depend upon! He would be terrible for Canada!🇨🇦 #NeverPoilievre #USDemocracy youtube.com/watch?v=dfsH...

Israel “brazenly, continuously and with total impunity … unleashed hell” on the strip’s 2.3 million population.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

44 people, mostly unvaccinated children now have measles in New Brunswick, thanks to "vaccine skepticism." Measles has risen globally by 20% since 2022. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...
