America is just figuring out that Trump has never given anyone their money back in his entire life. #TariffRefund

Stay away Stay away From the fascist USA

I've been trying to delete my old Twitter / X account for 3 months now. Made sure there are no active apps, deactivated, haven't logged back in to take a peek. Yet it persists. Tried again today after last attempt 2 months ago. Fingers crossed.

Unless they are specifically asked, courts don't tell you how a judgment is to be paid when deciding a legal point. Just that you took it illegally and you have to pay it back.

US Supreme Court told Trump he couldn't do something because it violates the Constitution. Trump spent an hour saying he didn't care, he was going to do it anyway. America, this is where you are. #SCOTUStariffs

The Bible doesn't condemn these things. Nowhere is abortion prohibited. Slavery is specifically endorsed. Abraham is told to sacrifice his child. Old & New Testament direct us to welcome strangers and turn the other cheek. Jesus tells us to beware those who publicly trumpet their faith. (Matthew 6)

Shame on you Globe & Mail. No, Canada is not poorer than Alabama. "Despite lower economic growth per person, most Canadians earn more, live longer and fare better than Americans." policyoptions.irpp.org/2025/04/cana...

No we didn't. 🇨🇦

Trump is quoting the dissent (which is not the law) as if it empowers him to do what he wants (it doesn't). Typically he is claiming a defeat is a victory and that it proves the opposite of what it clearly says. #SCOTUS

Trump legal strategy has always been the same. When he is sued he drags things out. When courts rule against him, he simply starts over again, slow-walking hearings and endless appeals as long as he can. If he ultimately loses he does it again in a slightly different but also illegal way. #SCOTUS

US Supreme Court was pretty clear: "The Framers gave 'Congress alone' the power to impose tariffs during peacetime." And, "The Government thus concedes, as it must, that the President enjoys no inherent authority to impose tariffs during peacetime."

Kavanaugh's dissent in the #SCOTUS decision striking down Trump's tariffs as illegal is partially based on the idea that it is a mess to try to refund tariffs. That's like saying you have to let a bank robber go because it's too difficult to get him to pay back the money he stole. #USpoli #cdnpoli

In a surprise decision, the US Supreme Court upholds the law. #USpoli #cdnpoli #USSC #SCOTUS

🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court says Trump's global tariffs are illegal

It's almost like reckless spending, no provincial sales tax, and basing your entire economy on a volatile, dying resource is not a good idea. #ableg #cdnpoli

Conservatives have held provincial power in Alberta since 1971 except for 4 years. They have consistently sent conservative MPs to Ottawa and ran the federal government for a decade under Harper. But somehow they're not the cause of all Alberta's problems... #ableg #cdnpoli

In 2024, Danielle Smith wrote a letter to Justin Trudeau to complain that they didn't get *more* immigrants than their planned allotment. (She also wanted more Ukrainians specifically, and we all know why). Receipts:

I'm seeing posts claiming that former-prince Andrew was arrested for engaging in pedophilia with Jeffrey Epstein. He was arrested for sharing confidential government intel with Epstein while serving as a British trade envoy. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

“Smith blamed what she called the ‘disastrous open-border immigration policies’ of former prime minister Justin Trudeau for straining Alberta’s health care, education and social services programs. Smith did not mention her government’s ‘Alberta is Calling’ campaign.” lmao

None of Smith's referendum questions are likely to result in actual policy change. Because they require constitutional amendments (federal veto) or are plainly unconstitutional. Assuming "yes" votes carry, what then? Kenney's equalization referendum didn't soothe separatists. It emboldened them.

Fair comparison.

The message from the DOJ is unmistakable: Justice is no longer the objective. Retribution is.

At least when he is asleep Trump is not doing terrible random things to his own and other countries.

"Study after study from very credible organizations say oil demand in #China is going to fall from roughly 17 million barrels a day to either between 5 or 7 million barrels by 2050, so Canada would be building a 1 million barrel a day pipeline to a market that is basically going to disappear."

Inchoate talking point word salad rage. I can hear the doors slamming and garbage cans being kicked at Stornoway. #cdnpoli

Canada may not want to fully join the EU, but there are definitely advantages to being friends with benefits. #cdnpoli

Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Montreal this morning to unveil Canada's new defence industrial strategy. The plan is nothing short of standing up a massive new dual use industrial base, independent of the U.S. File this under: America's allies are unplugging from the US with gusto.

Let's check in on the Fascist States of America... CBS prevented Colbert from airing an interview because they didn't want to upset Trump. Colbert has posted the interview on the show's YouTube channel: #Trump #CBS #fascism #Colbert #cdnpoli youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

Sneaky Canada builds a 6-lane highway bridge to the U.S. in the night when no one is looking. President Trump wakes up to discover this massive threat to American security that will be used to smuggle Canadian comedians and musicians into the U.S. #cdnpoli

Every country surely must understand by now that any agreement they have entered into with the US and any agreement they are currently negotiating is utterly worthless while Trump is president.
