Canada's federal government needs to immediately pass legislation that the US government cannot invest in mining projects in Canada. In fact, they should go further and ban all US investment in every sector. @mark-carney.bsky.social #Never51 #ElbowsUp #cdnpoli www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

"This is not the time to hand over control of critical energy infrastructure to a foreign multinational, especially in the middle of a trade war," www.newswire.ca/news-release...

Remember when Deep Throat told Bob Woodward, “The truth is, these are not very bright guys and things got out of hand.” Well, today the truth is these are profoundly stupid, ignorant, arrogant, criminally insane sociopaths, and things are most definitely getting out of hand.

After kidnapping the president, the United States has apparently now stolen tens of millions of barrels of oil from Venezuela.

NATO with the United States as a member is no longer viable. Canada & Europe must immediately start planning for the establishment of a post-NATO collective security alliance.

People will say Greenland and Venezuela isn't the same, but it really is. The USA has no claim to either. Neither have committed any crime against the USA. They both have Oil/Minerals the US wants. They are both illegally threatened with invasion or have been. It is the same.

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet. Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

Uh, Canada, you might want to say something definitive about respecting sovereignty of Arctic states sooner rather than later.

Deep down America's allies know that only Americans can put a stop to the madness. The fact that they can't or won't is why the damage to our partnerships will last far beyond this President.

Mark Carney is a neoliberal banker who cynically used hockey tropes to get us Canadians excited about voting for him out of desperation because his opponent cynically uses racism to get ahead. Hard not to feel like we’re hosed, eh? Take a long look at @avilewis.ca and @heathermcpherson.bsky.social ✅

Yes, definitely better to pretend flooding isn't real so developers can build more mcmansions on unfilled wetlands, creating more flooding for everyone.

CANADA / VENEZUELA: Canadian Labour Congress Joins International Labour Movement in Condemning U.S. Military Aggression and Violation of Venezuela’s Sovereignty canadianlabour.ca/canadian-lab...

OH CANADA! 😳

Always follow the money.

Nobody cares what you think of Maduro. The question is should the US invade a sovereign country and depose its government or should it not.

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

Sad how leaders are grovelling instead of outraged at American imperialism! Never was about drugs (anymore than weapons of mass destruction) but about oil! Guess Canada may be next? The excuse: Fentanyl

The puzzle is progressing.

Maybe I’m wrong but I’d buy a Chinese BYD electric car in a heartbeat were I allowed. Canada bet on the wrong horses 🫤

Teaching in times of genAI and brain damage is really something.

The time honoured Canadian tradition of sitting in one's bathrobe, numbly watching the United States sleepwalk into something evil and stupid

The lawlessness of the US government provides even further justification for collective efforts to boycott the United States, to make it feel some degree of consequences for its illegal and destabilizing behaviour globally. That means avoiding travel, boycotting its companies, and similar actions.

There's no legal difference between kidnapping Maduro and kidnapping Mark Carney.

Pretty inevitable.

French Foreign Ministry: “The removal of Maduro from power and the violation of sovereignty constitute a serious act of aggression against the dignity of the Venezuelan people and their right to determine their own future.

It’s actually an art to construct a statement like this which expertly avoids saying anything.

Maybe they can bomb us and abduct you and Carney next.

Super simple: tax the rich

The #CubanRevolution takes over the Hilton Hotel and Havana in 1959. I'll bet there were a number of hastily departing guests who didn't bother with the checkout formalities.

When I was still at the Bad Place I had a lawyer who was a supposed “expert” in free speech lecture me that any regulation on AI impersonating or making fake images of people would be an “unacceptable infringement” on the First Amendment. Insanity

CBC News sounds the alarm: our US boycott is hurting the Canadians who bought condos in Florida! <seinfeld-thats-a-shame.gif> 🤷🏼‍♂️

🤔 That can’t be good.

Wait, what? I’m still here.😏

"Two of Florida’s most iconic coral species are now functionally extinct. The 2023–2024 marine heat wave wiped out 97.8% to 100% of staghorn and elkhorn corals across nearly 400 surveyed reefs, according to marine scientists. buff.ly/x2BPOv5%22

Well this is making me want to go back to the US

Hard as steel irony.

This is bittersweet news because when the day soon comes on which we must defensively feed the billionaires to the (ahem) woodsy devices for our own survival, there’s a risk that Bey, Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen might join them but it’s a risk we’ll have to take 🤷🏼

When you say that “only the sick kids die from the measles”… you’re telling sick and disabled people that they’re expendable. You’re telling them their lives don’t matter. That vaccinating to protect them is too high a price. That’s eugenics. Also, healthy kids die from measles too.

In any war there are some victories that are more symbolic than others. In the American war, the collapse of the American bourbon market sends a powerful message. Jim Beam has closed its main plant. The market is in free fall. Message from Canada - FAFO charlieangus.substack.com/p/bourbon-wa...

Food inflation has reached a two-year high “Meanwhile, Sobeys, Loblaws and Metro have seen $4.3-billion in profit this year.”

You don't often see a single image that so perfectly captures everything that's wrong with Canadian politics, media, and health care. A clusterfuck of awful.

“This is an exceptional yr. This H3N2 variant that we have seen circulating through Canada seems to be more severe, and therefore people are getting unwell and need to come into the hospital, more so than previous yrs. It just makes our jobs so much harder to provide the good care we want to do.”

Seriously Ontario, unless you attended a Ford daughter’s wedding or are named Galen Weston, everything Ford does hurts you; it may even be fatal. This is no joke. #FordMustGo
