The hard take... Stone cold.

“Imagine if we had to follow the law”

The Montreal Canadiens, who play in Minneapolis on Monday night, have been told to stay inside their hotel at all times, take the team bus rather than walk, and carry passports. “Perhaps we shouldn’t be hosting the World Cup and the Olympics,” one Bluesky commenter wryly noted. trib.al/J3ldiJY

yes I posted this, and reminder over 1900 people voted against him staying on as leader lol bsky.app/profile/mini...

She keeps getting chances to show some loyalty to Canada -- and keeps turning them away in order to defend Alberta separatists and their cause. It's who she is. It's time we all started saying it. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/02/o...

Oh my goodness. I didn’t realize that this was Dr Martin youtu.be/HwNy2oOF1rM?...

With respect, Premier, we are not talking about what flavour of ice cream your colleagues prefer. There's not much more fundamental to governing than the issue of separatism. To be indifferent to caucus positions on this is a dereliction of duty. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Jenni Byrne thinks that if only Canada would lick American boots more, and with enthusiasm, the cost of living in Canada would magically become more affordable. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Housing Minister...he even lied about that! There WAS NO 'housing minister' when he was in govt under Harper. Even Con Gerry Ritz called him out on it...

Poilievre is incapable of meeting the moment, he just doesn't have the depth. Targeted phrasing, a thin veneer dressing up the dud that utters. He isn't a real person, he's a construct. That he's somehow managed to ascend to a Lead of the Offical Opposition is alarming. #cdnpoli

I believe that Christians like me—and people of faith more generally—have a responsibility to stand up to the extremists who use religion to divide our society and undermine our democracy. My new piece in the Atlantic: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trump has no authority to decertify Canadian aircraft, expert says He is crazy and the reason for his tantrum last night makes no sense #Canada www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

so...if a group of unelected Alberta nobodies, borrow $500 million in Alberta's name, who is on the hook for that loan? Albertans? Interesting. I just may have to go seeking 'loans' for AB, myself. The majority of ABns need to get up in arms about this BS. It's being done in your name.

Thanks to everyone who helped stoke the trans moral panic. The inevitable next chapter has arrived.

Alberta separatists lobbying Trump’s people to break up Canada isn’t “grievance,” it’s betrayal. You don’t get to call yourself Canadian while asking a foreign power to tear the country apart. #Canada #ABPoli #Treason #CDNPoli #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AbxZ6QcEkRYC...

The 🇺🇸 govt is spilling money into Alberta separatists’ coffers to help them break up 🇨🇦, and have an excuse for invasion. @charlieangus104.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #Alberta #Cdnpoli #ABpoli #Canada #CanadaSky #Never51 youtu.be/u_qMVJFNpTU?...

There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason. Canadians are standing together in defence of this beautiful land. 🇨🇦

The #CBC’s Front Burner podcast just did a deep dive into 🇺🇸interference risks around the Alberta referendum — same networks that fueled Brexit (Steve Bannon) are circling again. Worth a listen. The 🇺🇸 will likely be the leading source of mis/disinformation. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/f...

Even if it was only one Canadian, it would be too many. If you care about Canada, do the right thing and stay away from the USA. That includes Florida.

America did not stand alone after 9/11. It just forgot who stood with it. That's what NATO is Trump! #cdnpoli www.youtube.com/shorts/Aks3Q...

"On her call-in radio show Saturday, a caller asked Smith a question about bail laws and whether the government could “write some provincial rules to tune these judges in.” Smith, in response, told listeners that she wishes she could “direct” judges." #abpoli edmonton.citynews.ca/2026/01/27/a...

Last night MP Jamil Jivani and I joined the Calgary Campus Conservatives for a “Restore the North” indoctrination open mic Q&A, where students asked tough questions about the future and we lied to them with conservative talking points that rage farm hate & fuel division! #abpoli

Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed. The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media. Beware.

There is only one way Donald Trump will remain in power after the midterms and that is by inflicting more violence on Americans. Make no mistake, the regime is fully aware of this and they are fine with it. Violence was always their plan.

Oh, you don't know about Kory T? He and his clients created the "cold and flu med crisis" so Danielle Smith could give Dr. Oz $75M of taxpayer money. Disguised as "Tylenol", straight to Erdogan's "reelection" campaign. That part of the story isn't mentioned. www.corruptario.ca/team-ford-te...

I have never seen a case where state law enforcement had to file a lawsuit to obtain evidence of a police shooting within its jurisdiction. Until now. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Holy shit. This speaks volumes about the midterms ahead.

Hold my Canada Dry ginger ale. Caufield just scored a hat trick!! Why this renewed interest in hockey, I wonder, especially when it’s Montréal and Boston?? #heatedrivalry

Saying “I don’t do politics” is a privilege. Democracy rarely falls all at once. It erodes slowly, quietly, through apathy & disengagement. Everytime someone says “I don’t do politics,” they help normalize silence and silence is fertile ground for authoritarianism. #DefendersofDemocracy #SheShed

UCP. Making traitors out of Alberta.

We’re looking for an experienced journalist to join a growing bureau at The Tyee with a special focus on oceans and rivers in Western Canada. Apply by Feb. 8 and tell your journalist friends! 🪸📰 #CdnMedia

Literally

Dystopian — the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner lays out the real estate deal where Trump and his friends will profit from the destruction of Gaza, where people continue to die from Israeli bombs (supplied by 🇺🇸) to this day. While pretending it’s all for the people of Gaza.

A man wanted in connection to a December 2022 break-and-enter at a Nanaimo medical clinic remains at large. Police say Riley Quin is likely taking steps to "actively evade arrest." #Nanaimo nanaimonewsnow.com/2026/01/22/n...

Give us back Ontario Place, the Science Centre, stop the highway, no tunnel and MAYBE we'll consider it.

the mainstream media has been covering donald trump as a political figure for 11 years now. they know he is full of shit. they push headlines like "trump rules out using military force to take greenland" even though they know the context of his rhetoric. it is a deliberate misinformation tactic.

Would be amazing if European leaders would also start throwing out truth bombs like this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

So pathetic and weak — when they know he’s wrong they try to give him room by acting like it’s just bad advice. (From @atrupar.com )

Yep. Trump works for Putin. And Putin is smiling. Because Trump is doing exactly what Putin wants him to do.

Americans know nothing about Canada part 4,080

I'm sorry, but if you can't understand that Russia is *of course* going to encourage Trump's madness, and think this is part of a grand design instead of Moscow can't believing how lucky it is, maybe touch grass for a while

Don't validate this man PM Carney. #cdnpoli
