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.

"CBC just wants us to use our politeness and diplomacy to appeal to Americans to fight back on our behalf." Babe, Kevin O'Leary is one of the invited guests. Do you think highlighting that clown is Canada putting its best foot forward? Be serious.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

The Nazi term was "Gleichschaltung" It means to "bring into line" It's how they turned Germany into a single party state under Hitler & ensured all regional & state govts subordinate to him. Exactly what Trump is doing here. It's the Nazification of America. www.economist.com/united-state...

At a hockey game this weekend, Canadians loudly booed the US national anthem—and then turned around and proudly sang their own with full-throated joy. The contrast couldn’t have been clearer.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

European leaders are uniting against Vance’s “weird” speech to them where he attacked Europe and said “There’s a new sheriff in town.” These little MAGATS don’t realise that outside America’s borders everybody laughs at their embarrassing swaggering and strutting.

This is true. Ford has been brutal on housing; farcical on planning and infrastructure; skeevy on corruption; absent on health care and education. He's dragging the province backwards, and the effects will be felt for generations.

Dear @pbs.org, you can f-ck right off with this normalization of taking over a sovereign country. It wasn’t acceptable when Russia did it to Ukraine, and it isn’t acceptable now. Just to be absolutely clear: Canadians want no part of being part of your country.

You are going to see the proliferation of a number of “what if Canada did join the United States?” articles and opinion pieces, likely published in Postmedia publications to achieve the desired result of their American owners. Wait for it.

With these grave matters at play, if Pierre doesn't seek his security clearance soon the conservative party should do the right thing and expel him as the leader. I have serious concerns that hes been in on it.
