Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he began what many in 2025 STILL consider a romantic tryst or loving affair with Sally Hemings. Ms. Hemings had no legal capacity to consent to such a relationship not only because she was enslaved, Jefferson's property, BUT ALSO BECAUSE SHE WAS 14-YEARS-OLD. /1

Our markets are open to the tune of purchasing $349 billion in goods from the U.S. in 2024. That's $8,400 per capita based on our population of 41.5 million. We exported close to $413 billion in goods to the U.S. That's a per capita rate of roughly $1,180 per American. Proportionately, we buy more!

I'm not sure why they think a country with a 10th of the US population will somehow save their country from their bad business decisions.

I prefer my butter without added faeces, thanks.

Nutlick can go to hell! Canadians are not interested in US products of any kind. We don’t take orders from the US. How’s that message about the US not needing anything from Canada 🇨🇦 working out for you Nutlick?

When I lived in the US, I could not stand the taste of their milk or butter. Bland and watery would be a good way to describe it. I don’t know a Canadian alive that would buy that crap over our own even if you didn’t despise the Trump regime.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was on Face The Nation spouting off about Canada needing to "open our markets"... The sheer arrogant ignorance of assuming that Canadians would buy US crap if only markets were "open"... Howard, the cow will die long before I'll buy that butter... 🤣 😎🍁✊

Howard Nutlick reminds me of that creepy old man with the get rich quick scheme

If you listen to zionists they’ll have you believing that being against ethnic cleansing, killing kids and g-siding for land “is terrorism.”

For the Epsteinth time, an 'underage woman' is called a CHILD. Thanks for coming to my Pred Talk.

security clearance. This was a big deal to Canadians during the last election, and he has done nothing to get his clearance so it isn't still a sore spot for Canadians. Dear friends in Battle River-Crowfoot, he just wants your vote. And then he's gone. He will go back to being paid to disrupt ...

independent candidate. If voting for any other party gives you sleepless nights, how about voting for an independent who knows you, your community, your values, your goals as Albertans, and will represent you well in Ottawa. Poilievre won't. He'll be gone as soon as the election is over.

and cause chaos every single day in our House of Commons. He doesn't work for Canadians. He didn't work for Carleton. He won't work for #BattleRiver-Crowfoot. Can he even name a single street in your town? Does he know any of you by name? You know who does? @bonniecritchley.bsky.social and she' an..

Kitchener non-profit to head 'deeply affordable' housing project in #Guelph #Ontario Rent expected to be around $500 a month, Thresholds Homes and Supports CEO says www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

JJ’s brand of Christianity - American Jesus Inc. - isn’t Christian. It’s fascism wrapped in the Bible. #cdnpoli

Kristi Noem lied about this multiple times in press conferences & TV appearances. This confirms the 3 day delay was solely caused by her. It’s an absurdity that the person who leaves govt is this man & not her stupid, incompetent cosplaying ass traveling with her (alleged) lover.

Netanyahu doesn’t want a ceasefire He doesn’t want to go to court He’s a criminal in many respects at least one of which would wind him up in jail This is why he’s murdering more and more people Oh, and there’s gas just off the shore

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

Those US senators meeting with Carney were wearing friendship bracelets. Wow. I guess that's going to turn the whole trade war around. More Americans continuing to extremely not get it. #PnPCBC

one thing the British are really beating our asses on is having little grocery stores—not bodegas, not corner stores, but actual grocery stores with fresh produce, meat/proteins, cheap healthy meals, essential ingredients, etc—all over the place

For people who have the attitude that Palestine is far away and not their problem, that cruelty that exists in our lawmakers is not locationally specific. That cruelty is in them and it will be felt by Canadians, sooner than later.

There is much more in the full analysis including cuts to new Canadians integration, biz sectoral and regional supports. Read it all here: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc... 8/x

Oddly these are Trump's priorities for Canada. Defence, RCMP and Border services are whitelisted, needing few if any cuts. But what should be our priorities: Indigenous reconciliation, Vets, Science and our standing in the world --- are cut to the bone. 7/x

Research grants to universities & colleges as well as graduate scholarships face $764 million in cuts to pay for tax cuts and miliary spending. The Tri-council agencies providing those funds just won an increase in the last budget, but that will be completely undercut now. 6/x

Shockingly Veterans supports will be hard hit as well. Just under a Bil a year is on the block including disability benefits and Vets health care. A cruel irony that active military see a raises paid for by Vets facing cuts. 4/x www.datawrapper.de/_/UCief/

Indigenous services will be hit hard. A stunning $4.5 bil in cuts, 1 of 5 dollars in cuts is just reduced transfers to First Nations to provide police, ed and health care. Gutting Indigenous social programs is not an "ambitions" way to find "savings". 3/x www.datawrapper.de/_/pZ6Zq/

In each of the following transfer heavy dept, you have to play a terrible but deadly serious game (that Ministers are doing right now) of getting to the required cuts bar using the existing transfers 2/x

The cuts are rapidly expanding and more than half will come from fed transfers to other govs, persons, non-profits and biz. Big transfers like equalization and health transfer are protected, but there's more than those transfers. 1/x www.datawrapper.de/_/xzSL2/

The fed gov cuts to pay for military and wealthy tax cuts have rapidly expanded. My new analysis shows that most of the cuts will now be on transfers to other govs, non-profits and people. A stunning 1 in 5 dollars is just cuts to FN govs for basic social programs. @policyalternatives.ca 🧵👇👇

UNDRIP requires the Canadian government to consult with First Nations prior to passing generationally-devastating legislation. Carney’s government failed to do that with Bill C5. The Indigenous needs to ask the UN 🇺🇳 to appoint a special rapporteur like Palestine has, the need is that serious.

Bill C-5 violates Indigenous rights, violates the right to a clean & healthy environment, the rights of workers' health & safety.I stand in solidarity w/ unions, Indigenous peoples & environmental organizations raising alarm about the unconstitutional & undemocratic Bill C-5.

"Bill C-5 centralizes power in Ottawa, lets cabinet override environmental laws and ignores treaty and inherent rights. That is not modernization—it is colonization in 2025," says Kehewin Cree Nation Chief Vernon Watchmaker as PM Carney holds First Nations summit on Bill C-5. #cdnpoli

Every single word is true. First Nations are the only people in this entire country with an understanding of what is going on and the intelligence to openly resist it.

2025 headlines be like: “Finland ends homelessness” Meanwhile in America “SCOTUS rules its lawful to eliminate the Department of Education bc it wasn’t mentioned in the Ten Commandments”
