While education and healthcare implode, while the CorruptCare scandal widens, while her caucus crumbles, while other leaders are encouraging Canadians not to travel to the USA, Danielle Smith plans to go back to Florida…to get this: hang with far-right MAGA types. Have you had enough, Alberta?

Canada does not have anywhere close to as big of “a drug problem” as the United States and there’s absolutely no evidence Canada supplies a significant amount of fentanyl to the US. Americans drive both fentanyl supply and fentanyl demand in the US, and this admin has avoided addressing those things

I missed posting for Women's Day yesterday. Reminder: -Women are more likely to initiate(70-80%) divorce BUT also more likely to suffer financially from it -Women went into the workforce AND still carry a disproportionately high amount of the unpaid labor in the home

in honor of International Women’s Day, i’ll continue to make men angry today and probably every day until i die

My tribute on International Women's Day to women who know how to "stand the gaff" in resisting tyranny. From the coal mines of Cape Breton to the mines of the north. I come from a long line of strong women who would put the run on toxic bros. Please read. charlieangus.substack.com/p/on-interna...

“The obsession with civility and decorum in the United States is bipartisan and white.”

No notes. 🍁💯

Absolutely despicable.

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

This whole thread is 100% on point. They are normalizing language of annexation, and the media are either too afraid to correct it, or have bought into it.

This.

If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol

51% of Canadians believe the government should approach the United States as a threat or as an enemy. Far fewer now see it as a friend or ally. Canadians have a less favourable view of the US than India, a country which murdered Canadian citizens on Canadian soil.

While America was conceding Europe to the Nazis, 17 and 18 year old Canadians were keeping the Atlantic free and fighting in spitfires. Their spirit is with us now. Trump can insult and try to provoke but he has no clue who he is messing with. This is #elbowsup time. True. North. Strong. Free.

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

A photographer, Mervyn Sequeira, took fantastic photographs of a bald eagle trying to attack a Canada goose in Burlington, Ontario. The goose fought back and the eagle backed off.

Hey Canadians, if you are still doing land acknowledgments and GENUINELY MEAN THEM, now would be a good time to update your land acknowledgment to recognise that our treaty obligations require us to fight for Indigenous people's interests in these ongoing threats of war by the USA. #cdnpoli

Trump signed executive orders to expand logging on public lands while bypassing environmental protections. His “energy emergency” declaration lets him override regulations entirely.

wtf... seriously, wtf...

GIVE THEM HELL TRUDEAU

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

“Of course it matters who endorses you in a political race! An endorsement is a sign of agreement, of similar value systems and political priorities. It’s a public declaration of support for your platform and what you stand for as a politician and potentially as a person.”

Putin emails Trump “tell me 5 things you did for me last week”

He finally had to knock on wood. I think we all know someone who has.

Hey Ontario! Here’s a to-do list. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT #Canada #Ontario

The weather is getting a little warmer, but I'm no fool. I know False Spring when I see it

I could have used this phrase so many times before seeing it today… now I’ll have it filed away and ready to go. (Source unknown)

Dear manager, 1. I lit a match 2. I threw it in the trash 3. I tossed it all in the dumpster 4. The dumpster fire got bigger 5. Now we need a bigger dumpster and a book of matches

Canadians are now seasoning the maple syrup exports with a little national resentment

Upon this response, JK burst into a million shards and a great wind scattered her unhappy soul beneath the arc of a newly formed rainbow.

Like the rest of the world, I am watching from the outside, but this feels like it hits so many nails on the head. The feeling of hopelessness many Americans feel and the feeling of "why aren't you doing anything" the rest of the world is feeling.

Remember when team USA beat the Soviets in the 80s? Canada just had that moment and the US were the Soviets this time. Congratulations Canada 🍁
