Nation being threatened with annexation reminded to be polite to would-be conqueror's special song (Patreon Exclusive)

He is very, very good at this.

There's a new sheriff in town... And he wears a black hat.

Tomorrow, February 15, is the 60th anniversary of Canada’s maple leaf flag.

Why annexing Canada would destroy the United States

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Save the CBC. Ban Xitter. Ban Fox news. Cancel Starlink. Ban foreign ownership of Canadian media. Cancel Postmedia. Support Canadian independent media. And save CBC! #Canada #CanadaSky #cdnpoli 🇨🇦 #yyc #yeg #Alberta #BoycottUSA #BuyCanadian #TravelCanada #CBC @mark-carney.bsky.social

If you boycott today's US sport event, here's a Canadian alternative: a video of the northern saw-whet. Enjoy this Superb Owl. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

attempting to describe the vibes of the moment. have yet to do better than: "imagine watching a documentary reenacting the burning of the Library of Alexandria set to the soundtrack of 'Yakety Sax'"

The public hearing on zoning for housing next to the Granite Curling Club is today. I wrote down some of the thoughts I am going to share with city council: #wpgpoli #winnipeg open.substack.com/pub/brianpin...

A lot of hard work ahead. I urge you to follow artists, writers, poets, musicians from across the world. Because they show us that creativity thrives even in turmoil. They offer hope, challenge power, & transform frustration into meaning. ART offers both refuge & resistance. #art 🇨🇦

It would be illegal, immoral, unfeasible, and disastrous.

Extraordinary!

Trump’s Threats Expose Canada’s Utter Dependency On The U.S. www.readthemaple.com/trumps-threa...

Trump is trying to “flood the zone” so we focus on a few outrages that we find most offensive and lose sight of the big picture. Some thoughts on how to maintain focus. robertreich.substack.com/p/keep-your-...

"The major threat to Canadian survival today is American control of the Canadian economy. The major issue of our times is not national unity but national survival, and the fundamental threat is external, not internal." —The Waffle Manifesto, 1969

Maybe all the people worried that a proper response will cause national unity issues are listening too much to Danielle Smith and underestimating Canadians' resolve.

Courage can become contagious.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Perfectly captured.

Good morning. 👋 Enjoy your day.

Message to the grifter king from Canada: "We will have no parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst and we will do our best. We do not expect to hit without being hit back, and we intend with every week that passes to hit harder." - Winston Churchill

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Canada’s biggest labour organization is calling on the federal government turn off the taps, “cutting US access to critical Canadian resources—including electricity, lumber, critical minerals, oil, and gas—until the tariffs are lifted” 75% of Canadians support restricting US access to our resources

We are in the fight of our lives. But Canadians have been called to be heroic before and we have never been defeated. This is our time to defend our country. Le Canada est uni. Ce sera une période difficile, mais c’est l’occasion de bâtir notre nation et de célébrer notre solidarité. Vive le Canada

Winnipeg beating Washington Ottawa beating Minnesota 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Time to turn off the taps. Not a single bottle of American wine, beer or bourbon should be sold anywhere in Canada. From here on in I will only drink "freedom" wines from Canada, France or Spain. As for the beer? It's shit anyways. True. North. Strong. Free. @strongasfuck

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

US economic agression: what can we do ? - Don't travel to the USA - Boycott US products, Tesla, Amazon, etc. - Buy Canadian & Mexican products - Boo the US anthem during sport events - Quit Facebook, X, and Instagram - No fraternization with American tourists, even the sexy ones Sorry!
