Zelensky on Venezuela: “About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you” Omg I love it.

With his ultimatum that Ukraine surrender to Russia, Trump finally wins a prize: The Neville Chamberlain award for betraying peace, freedom, and justice.

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings

Area man who couldn't convince his local constituents to elect him says he'll convince American authoritarian leader to be nicer to Canada.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Thought this, from @moreperfectunion.bsky.social, was really great. youtu.be/RP8Oxe6OxJc?...

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

What’s at stake here is free speech. Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel. We need to all stand up and speak out.

I put together a primer on Charlie Kirk — and paid some special attention to his relationship with Nick Fuentes and the Groyper movement. There's no hot takes or sweeping declarations. Just some useful background. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/who-was-ch...

I’m finding myself torn between a “Try to find the humour in it all” and a “This looks like a good place to start digging my bomb shelter” mindset so I might try writing some satire while on my breaks from mixing cement.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

"So, then he lost his seat!"

Our 🇨🇦King is coming here despite illness to make a badly needed point. God save the King!

Poilievre is somehow standing in a parliament building that he wasn’t elected to, calling out and casting aspersions on members of parliament who *were elected.* Dude. You lost your seat. These new ministers won their seats. Sit down (on the floor, as you have no seat).

Canadians elected a new government to stand up for Canada and build a strong economy. As Prime Minister, I’ve heard that message loud and clear. Today, I’ve shared my plan to set out on a new path for Canada — and act with focus and determination.

Poilievre losing his seat is almost Shakespearean: Pretender to the throne riles countrymen with anger, gets defeated by guy with Joy in his name. It’s basically Macbeth.

@jenniferkeesmaat.bsky.social has worked her whole career to make housing more affordable. She knows what it will take to end the housing crisis. Glad to have her support. It’s time to build.

It’s going to be fine, Skips. You’re totally going to win the election. It’s in the bag. Oh, wait, you’re not a US citizen, right?

Here's a zero-gravity parody song about this week's coverage of #BlueOrigin's rocket launch. Sorry we forgot to turn the clicker off but we were more worried about getting the pitch (nearly) right. It's called "Flight from Earth" based on the anthemic #Firework by #KatyPerry 🎇🎶 youtu.be/YJF6NcwkZbc

There is no place in Canada for this right wing nonsense. Right wing agitators posing as journalists with no objective other than to disrupt creditable reporting for partisan and monetary gain.

Just a reminder, When Harper was PM and needed help and guidance he never asked Pierre for help... He asked Mark Carney.

When I studied economics I remember wishing I could march in the streets for the cause of free trade. Now I can say that if only in that one way, Donald Trump has made a dream of mine come true. #HandsOff Frederick

The Prime Minister of the Heard / McDonald Islands Speaks on Trump’s Tariffs

My response to President Trump's announcement today:

Walz: "For him to mock them and to say this about Canada, that they're nasty people. The thing I think that has to start to set in and I would argue that happened in Wisconsin is that there's buyer's remorse. Nobody signed up to insult the Canadians and drive up potash prices."

This is what happens when people speak up.

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

Crawford: Today, Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections, and our Supreme Court.. Wisconsin stood up and said that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

We love this country with every fibre of our being. I know that during this crisis, Canadians will remain united. We will keep Canada Strong.

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

I still can’t quite get my mind around the fact the guy who refuses to get his security clearance is basing his entire campaign around describing his main rival as “sneaky.” I just hope irony didn’t suffer too much before the Conservatives made it die like that.

A strong, secure Arctic is essential to Canada’s sovereignty. The world is changing. Our adversaries are watching. We’re making investments now to keep Canada safe for generations to come. ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/...

It is my honour to serve. Canada has given me everything. Now, I’m ready to give everything for Canada.

Canada, meet your new cabinet. We’ve built a smaller, focused, and experienced team that is made to meet this moment.

I had an excellent call with President von der Leyen about the road ahead for Canada-E.U. trade. Canada and Europe are strong, reliable partners. In a shifting global economy, that matters more than ever. We’re ready to secure new transatlantic business opportunities together.

During a crisis, serious leadership means working together and focusing on the things we can control. Premier Legault and I are focused on protecting the Québec economy — and building it for a stronger future.

Putting the Arctic Ocean closer to the center, this brings the Greenland Canada gambit into focus. It is a grab for power, money, water, and resources, also giving the US complete control over the Northwest Passage. Fentanyl and the border are a smokescreen for a much bigger project: theft.

My message to our steel and aluminum workers: you have our full support, now and for the future. We’re going to build big things in Canada, and we need every one of you.
