"Enemy from within." "Communists, Marxists, fascists, radical left thugs, vermin." "Garbage" Somalis, "low IQ people." "She's an evil, sick, crazy, b..." Republicans want the left to tone down the rhetoric. Erm, have they listened to Donald Trump?? Zeteo put together this Trump montage:

It was very kind of Paul Wells to give me some space on his Substack to air a few of my frustrations with the coverage (including his!) of Pierre Poilievre's argument about LNG and federal policy. #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/paulwell...

A high percentage of alleged libertarians don’t actually know what libertarianism means. I think they just wander around asking each other “Who is John Galt?”

Boycott Amazon and its despicable owner. 🤔🧐😒 open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Smith’s creeping Americanization of Alberta goes well beyond culture wars and legal skirmishes, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes. Her government has been busy with American-style attacks on healthcare, the judiciary and democracy itself.

A broken country.

My forthcoming book, “The Fix,” dissects the mob-like tactics of the Trump regime and proposes ideas to reclaim our democracy. Available now for pre-order here. www.barbaramcquade.com

Pierre Poilievre keeps trying to challenge Mark Carney on his economic credentials. Of all the dumb fights Pierre Poilievre has picked over the course of his career, this might be the dumbest one yet. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/20/o...

After promising on the weekend to sue The Atlantic for defamation, Kash Patel decides this morning he's too hung over to call his lawyers.

It's jealousy. We ALL want our own private jet to go to Wawa. Brian Lilley always just GETS it.

🇨🇦Canada couldn’t have a Prime Minister better suited to the moment and to the foreseeable future than the one we have right now. Do watch: youtu.be/uk2TZwkhi4E?...

Oh. He marveled. "Some of the president’s advisers were caught off guard that tanker traffic would grind to a halt so quickly after the bombing began... "Trump has since marveled at the ease with which the strait was closed..." www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Banning algorithmic pricing ought to be a no-brainer call for any government: people don’t like to be ripped off, surveilled, or treated differently from their peers. Algorithm pricing does all three of those things.

I’ve been saying for years that the feds should use their undoubted power under the Constitution to disallow noxious provincial legislation, including their use if the notwithstanding clause. Now Mr. Coyne agrees with me. 🍁🍁🍁

We live in a country where the two most dynamic, charismatic, eloquent politicians of this century have the first names Barack and Zohran. This is what bothers the white supremacists so much.

Chantal Hébert: I fail to see how someone who was rejected for PM called Andrew Scheer should be the regular points person for the Conservative Party. Bruce Anderson: It's the single worst choice that Pierre Poilievre makes every day is to have Andrew Scheer out there. #cdnpoli

I'll take former PM Justin Trudeau at Coachella long before I'll take former PM Stephen Harper pushing RW politics via his IDU, BFF with Viktor Orbán, and sneaking around the White House.

Here’s what I’ve started to notice: every time we deploy one of these workarounds, we absorb a consequence that wasn’t ours to carry. And every consequence we absorb is one the system never has to face.

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

Same here

😡

The world’s top 100 oil & gas companies banked > $30m every hour in unearned profit 1st month of US-Israeli war in Iran. Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, ExxonMobil are among biggest beneficiaries of the bonanza, meaning key opponents of climate action continue to prosper. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In my six months in the newspaper distribution business I learned everything I know about money things.

The political clip of the week. The guy whose resumé is so vague we aren't sure he actually did work at Dairy Queen before becoming MP. And slurping his drink. Brutal.

When you feel imposter syndrome sneaking up on you, just remember that JD Vance lectured the Pope on theology.

As an atheiest ex-Catholic I am firmly on Team Pope.

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

Lots of talk in my small 🇨🇦Liberal circles about wanting Pierre Poilievre to stay on as Conservative leader forever. I tend to the view that it’s better for the country to have adults both as Prime Minister and as Leader of His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition. On the other hand … 🤷🏼😉🤷🏼

Normal stuff here, very normal: "As the president threatens to wipe out Iran and attacks the pope, even some former allies and advisers are questioning whether he has grown increasingly unbalanced, describing him as 'lunatic' and 'clearly insane'..." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

"9 Times Trump Has Ridiculously Insulted Christians" Sharing an image depicting himself as Jesus is just one of many ways the US president has denigrated the people who put him in the White House.

Illiberalism is not Inevitable www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Washington to be born.

Finally, Hungary we will be sovereign, not a vassal of Russia

Viktor Orbán to try to regain seat in Hungarian parliament by running in Alberta’s Battle River—Crowfoot by-election.

The year is 2033. Mark Carney's poll numbers are in the toilet. Wab Kinew replaces him as leader and wins the biggest majority in Canadian history.

POTUS 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

10/10. No notes.

I agree. I think PM should have rejected this one.

Speaking of religion in politics (a very bad idea)... #abpoli #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026...

Well, hopefully we got a few gallons out in the 26 minutes it was open.

Thank goodness the US is working so hard to rid the world of religious zealots.

He is talking about creating a humanitarian disaster, a clear war crime

The only statement they should make it not to go. Insane to turn up and honor this man who hates you and will use this as yet another occasion to berate and humiliate you and your employers and the First Amendment as a whole.

It’s the parents’ fault, you see. Just an epically tone-deaf take from someone who seems to draw more lessons from early-80s court cases than the growing literature on the dangers of social media. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

It was awful enough during his first term, but the insistence of the news media to treat Trump press conferences as if they are normal press conferences is one of the reasons the United States is not a democracy anymore. No reaction from journalists to outright lies and unbelievable statements.
