Given all the crap we're getting from the US right now - who wants to see the American flag flying on Canadian soil? Not me!

Corporate lobbyists work for corporations not the "common people". Why don't his supporters get this?

This is the type of article I would classify as "dull". HOWEVER I wrote it because I'm infuriated by the cost of groceries, and I am really wondering what the federal government is planning to do. Money in my pocket is always welcome, but IMO this proposal won't solve the problem. What do you think?

I just had to share this one. This is Tod Maffin's take on Trump admiring Canada from an s/m perspective. It's hilarious. www.facebook.com/reel/2174434...

I keep seeing the 87 percent Conservative leadership convention result treated like a mic drop. Very few people are talking about it in context. That context matters a lot. #cdnpoli #leadershipconvention #politicalanalysis

I write about public healthcare all the time because there is a lot of misinformation about it. If the govt says we need to pay a middleman to deliver care, does that mean the govt can't do its job? What are we paying taxes for then? Beware of simplistic arguments for privatization. #healthcare

I love this for Melania....

I was recently asked to look at "news" footage. It took me a few viewings to see the telltale signs of a deepfake. I'm a cautious viewer.. but most people are not. Deepfakes are extremely dangerous - not only to democracy but to your ability to make informed choices. #deepfakes #AI

Systematic rise in deaths linked to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in early 2026 follows a record-high last year, with six so far this year plus two fatal shootings of civilians. Read our analysis here: https://ncrnow.ca/2026/01/26/deaths-in-ice-operations/

If we don’t have international laws and institutions to uphold them, we have no protection from thug nations. Poilievre doesn't care that our resources are always on the line, and that he’s cheering on a dictator who would have no hesitation doing the same to us if it served his interests. #cdnpoli

Good things in life are not guaranteed. But if we lose our ability to imagine good things and work toward them, we guarantee they won’t happen. I'm worried that our social depression is preventing us from seeing a positive future.

The wording "even if it represents a step back" is so gentle and so fake. I wonder what the reaction would be if they said "even if it contributes to our planet becoming uninhabitable for our children and grandchildren"? It's not a tiny "step back". It's a major reversal.

I'm so happy she did this. Go Marit Go! We need more like her telling it like it is. #DougFord #corruption #onpoli #cdnpoli

The National Post just profiled Jivani & his "Liberal Racism" message. HUH? What fresh hell are the #Conservatives coming up with now to stoke your rage? Do you agree with this? Are progressives racist? ncrnow.ca/2025/11/18/p... #cdnpoli #racism #dei

Excellent article. Drives me nuts! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump installed BS tariffs punishing both Americans and Canadians. To what end? Ford's ad was well done but expensive & not his job. Nonetheless... it's Trump's call and he is always negotiating in bad faith. We must focus on that instead of fighting each other. #Trump #DougFord #traderelations

I agree. Ford is an idiot however, the whole basis for tariffs was bogus to begin with. Trump has never "negotiated" in good faith and never will. If it was not this, it would be something else.

Fawcett: "If Poilievre actually wants to govern our country one day, he might want to start acting like it." I don't think he can. If he were able, I don't think he would rely so much on the right-wing playbook and rage-farming tactics. He's an insignificant man trying to attract attention. Period.

I love seeing Americans come together for the #NoKingsProtests. But we have to take it further. We need to ask ourselves why we accept so little, imagine what a good life looks like, and demand the conditions that make it possible. See my latest. #billionaires, #republicans, #conservatives

If we want to preserve our democracies, we must understand how we are being manipulated by politicians via our values. #propaganda #manipulation #USpolitics #cdnpoli theframeworkmedia.com/2025/09/26/h...

Modern-day capitalism is how it works.

@steveburgess53.bsky.social: U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra wants more courtesy from Canadians? Fine, Pete. Next time you see a sign reading “Piss off, neighbour,” maybe we’ll drop the “u.” #uspoli #canpoli

I hate seeing the association of positive values, such as freedom, with political agendas, being used as shields to push things we might never accept otherwise. It tricks us into embracing the value & giving power to the agenda behind it. We end up making choices based on manipulation, not reality.

I like the Lincoln Project. They manage to get the point across clearly. Succinctly. Sometimes with a laugh. This is a good one. www.facebook.com/reel/6656065... #Trump #Democracy

I feel like we need to be very careful and very clear about what we are saying and who we endorse. The recent HOC applause condemning political violence but praising Charlie Kirk is anything but clear. #PoliticalViolence #CharlieKirk #FreedomOfSpeech #Parliament

These days, we desperately need examples of people who have principles. Jerry Greenfield (from Ben & Jerry's) is one such man.

A recent legal settlement concerning Canada’s bread industry is drawing attention—and for good reason. Dive in with us as we explain how to get your slice of the settlement. r.pebmac.ca/theframe...

If you know anybody who idolizes Trump, the big bible reader, this might be for them... #JesusVsTrump #FaithAndPolitics #TrumpContradictions #ChristianHypocrisy

This is a pretty good article that sums up what is happening with the GOP and how they are using Charlie Kirk's murder to advance their goals. #CharlieKirk, #USPolitics

Beyond wondering who did it, I am trying to understand WHY the GOP is weaponizing Charlie Kirk's death at a time of great civil unrest. I don't have the answer, but I do have some guesses. My latest. #CharlieKirk #GOP #USPolitics

Charlie Kirk’s death shows how poisoned we’ve become by division. Grief and gloating, side by side. I get why people feel that way, but it should scare us more than it satisfies us, especially when politicians use it to drive us further apart. #CharlieKirk #USPolitics

#cdnpoli is progressive. Major parties oppose any change to the status quo that may weaken the party system. It's a huge undertaking but everyone's vote would be heard. Example of how FPTP cheats voters from #onpoli election www.fairvote.ca/28/02/2025/p...

I don't understand why more people don't understand how "hollow" these people are. Who grows up wanting to make a fortune only to step on those beneath them?

Here we go... follow the trumptards... (That said: what took them so long with Handmaid's Tale? An empowering book that Maple Maga won't want women to read or understand. Can't have that on the shelf!)

excellent article bu Justin Ling

The lovely silence that we have grown to appreciate is about to be shattered. #cdnpoli #pierresite

This is how the big lie works. The NYTimes gives billionaires like Peter Thiel a stage, other platforms echo it, and soon, billionaire propaganda feels like truth. Don’t buy it. Part 2 in series. #PeterThiel #NYTimes #billionaires

Good for Bonnie! She's the real deal. And it's bsky.app/profile/bonn...

I’m so disappointed in the #NYTimes for giving Peter Thiel and Ross Douthat a platform to pass off billionaire greed as wisdom. Big media should serve humanity, not help the wealthy tighten their grip on our future. #Billionaires #ClimateCrisis

If more people did this with the cesspool inmates that are the US government today, and to the billionaire class that supports it, it might have an effect.

This is a MAGA move. These media giants should sue. A-ok to say it as long as you can prove it. Otherwise it's slander. Another example of 'everyone wants to follow; no one wants to lead'. How pathetic that both our politicians and our media are voluntarily dismantling democracy.

Worth reading. We really do need electoral reform. Check out Fair Vote Canada.

excellent idea!
