DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

Everything you need to know about the American owned media in Canada. The senior editor of the National Post whining that we aren't American.

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

The Cybertruck is the Donald Trump of vehicles

Sadly, I’m not at all surprised at this, since it was unlikely that Alberta’s awful Premier would let Ontario’s awful premier hold the title for “leader most likely to endanger people, make traffic congestion worse, & hurt the success of cities, all to score dumb ideological points with their base.”

A new analysis finds that "the highway lobby employs hundreds of lobbyists, spends over $100 million every year, uses a full suite of advocacy tactics, and brings along public officials to keep us all in a car-dependent transportation system." UCS's @kevshen.bsky.social breaks it down in his blog:

NEW: Premier Doug Ford is blowing through political capital and it’s starting to cost him. www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Gerrymandering for dummies.

[Great work by by Queen's Park colleagues Colin and Isaac] Doug Ford regularly worked from home after ordering civil servants back to office globalnews.ca/news/1181649... #Onpoli

Doug Ford currently claiming he gets more phone calls than "anyone in the world." Today, MPPs will vote on a budget that shields the premier, his cabinet and all their staff from FOI scrutiny. It will also kill a court decision for the premier to hand over his phone records.

Ladies and gentlemen, the boycott is working.. “alcohol remains one of Washington’s biggest pet peeves. The Trump administration is having a hard time accepting that most provinces across the country have removed American wine, beer and spirits from their shelves” www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The US attempting to shakedown and threaten its erstwhile number one ally and partner will reverberate for decades. Canada will be far stronger w other more reliable partners

viktor orban gonna lose so bad he has to run for a seat in alberta

High speed rail in Canada is a good investment. It’s the kind of ambitious nation-building that actually makes Canada more resilient etc. No surprise, far-right Pierre Poilievre says he’d cancel it, saying it will go over budget. Spoiler—it will. Just like EVERY car highway does. But he likes those.

The Trump administration finds every aspect of Canada a trade irritant. Our existence is a trade irritant. I wish more news coverage reflected that reality.

“No to war and Free Palestine.” — Javier Bardem while presenting at the #Oscars .

What is Doug Ford trying to hide?

“We’ve all trained ourselves to see car infrastructure as ‘normal’— and therefore its costs as invisible. Roads aren’t expensive, they’re just there. Parking spaces aren’t subsidies, they’re just ‘necessary’.” The “Framing Game” via @katjadiehl.bsky.social.

I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions. Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!

This is a nuclear bomb to Ontario's democracy. The Ford government wants to obfuscate absolutely everything it does.

This is terrifying. Good work by TheStar bringing this to light. www.thestar.com/news/gta/go-...

Figures like Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon, who has explicitly compared Canada to Ukraine, see Canada as a bastion of decadent liberalism in the West that must be broken and subdued, one way or another. trib.al/Hqq63Z2

Canada would have been better off saying nothing. You can detest the regime in Iran without supporting chaos. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.” Well. For those of us wondering if he’d walk the walk of the Davos speech, this is a pretty big answer. Nope.

We condemn Mark Carney's unequivocal support for illegal US-Israeli strikes on Iran, sabotaging negotiations in favour of regime change. A "pre-emptive" strike without an imminent threat is an act of aggression, a violation of the UN Charter, and a major threat to security.

The Trump administration has become the greatest force for the spread of nuclear weapons. Near threshold adversaries now must get them to prevent an attack a la North Korea. America's "allies" need them since the nuclear umbrella is now in tatters.l

This is going to age so poorly, so quickly.

Luckily Toronto sports fans have trained for exactly this scenario.

Who is Gretzky rooting for?

Hockey fans watching the gold medal game in Toronto loudly booing Gretzky whenever he appears on screen is very pleasing to me.

This one hits hard.

U.S. legal scholars baffled as Prince Andrew arrested for Epstein ties, Korean president sentenced for insurrection

Oh no the president is mad at Carney for dealing with China after praising Carney for dealing with China. Who could've foreseen this.

Carney put crybaby Donnie in his feels.

Canada sent so many dedicated young people into the hellfire of Kandahar to help the United States. Now they ridicule us. JD Vance says he is tired of our "sob stories". Trump says they never needed us. Never again, America, Never again.

John Turner correctly warned Canadians about the consequences of free trade with the U.S. #cdnpoli His concerns were rejected by Canadian voters at the time, and his political career never recovered. Turner might be the most vindicated Canadian PM of all time.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

In a speech to the World Economic Forum, Mark Carney says middle powers such as Canada must accept that the rules-based international order is effectively dead, and great power rivalry with is here to stay. Key excerpt:

The US is collapsing into fascism and going to war with Europe and the opposition party is like “I’m here to talk about the important thing: how your average grocery bill has risen by two dollars over the last year, which I also have no plan or ability to fix”

Just normal breakfast reading…

Folks, the "Minister of AI" has the moral backbone of a sleazy backroom art dealer.

This one is resonating today. #Andor

The top 1% will hate Mamdani, and that's a clear sign he's trying to do good things for Americans. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

Canada: Our Prime Minster studied at Oxford and Harvard, was the Governor of both the Banks of England and Canada, and is recognized as one of the sharpest financial minds around. America: oh yeah? Our guy has to take dementia tests every week.

wow this is almost, like, a platform someone could successfully run on

The world's richest 0.001% now control 3x as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity combined. 56,000 wealthy individuals have more than roughly 4 billion people. Read that back.
