US man doesn't understand why Canada won't give bully nice foot massage.

“Son, I’m afraid I’m going to miss your wedding…” “Really, dad, what is it?” “I’ve gotta make some phone calls.” “You can make phone calls from anywhere. You of all people should…” “Middle East phone calls. A deal.” “What, like the deal Obama made?” “Well, let’s not get carried away. Enjoy your day”

What Jelena Subotić defines as “pro-Israel antisemitism” is what Mr. Netanyahu has provoked around the world in his Faustian deals with parties of intolerance. In many cases, including the U.S., he has empowered those most responsible for hate incidents www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Re Alberta: if you weren’t elected on a separatist platform, you DON’T TAKE STEPS THAT CAN LEAD TO F*CKING SEPARATION!

Whatever the outcome of her populist referenda, Alberta’s Quisling Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith will go down in 🍁Canada’s history as it’s most brazen traitor ever, with Preston Manning as her progenitor. 🍁🧐🍁

Local man says every country in the world poses nuclear threat to new ballroom.

If your byline sits atop a think-piece this morning about how Donald Trump is still a powerful political monolith because he can get GOP voters in deep red districts to heed his endorsement in primary contests, you need to go find an actual journalist and let him use you to wipe his ass clean.

As the (daily) incidents of racism and corruption and everything else comes out of the Trump administration, and I begin to feel disgusted and a little overwhelmed by it all, I remind myself that I’m not American. Then I feel a little sorry for a whole lot of decent people in the US.

Danielle Smith just spoke at a conference with Pete Hoekstra. www.rawstory.com/trump-267691...

Paging @mark-carney.bsky.social

Periodic reminder that the Trump Administration’s decision to spit on Canada at every available opportunity has little to do with us and everything to do with distracting from a lawless, incompetent, and increasingly unpopular presidency. Friends: it’s not us, it’s them.

Yo, Tom, go fuck yourself.

“Dangerously detactched from reality.” That’s how journalist Richard Warnica describes Mitch Sylvestre, leader of the AB separatist movement. And possibly the most influential member of the UCP. Someone Danielle Smith will do anything to please, no matter the cost to the rest of us. #abpoli

Behind a paywall, but fucking arrest him, arrest them all. We are done with them all “Separatist leader accused of misusing Alberta electors list refuses to co-operate with investigators” www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

I support a Sununu work requirement, where all members of the Sununu family are required to get a real job

Democrats should gerrymander the hell out of their districts. Neutralize Republican voters. Supreme Court is cool with it so just flex until MAGA cries uncle. Fight fire with fire. You cant be Civil with fascists.

“The point of the indictment is to demonstrate that the United States Department of Justice is wholly an instrument of Donald Trump’s senescent pique, no more independent of him than a boil on his ass.”

Failed Trump assassin had a lot in common with MAGA, it seems. 1) JD Vance also compared Trump to Hitler 2) NRA and MAGA want Americans to buy guns 3) Trump wants 2020 nullified 4) MAGA also promotes conspiracies about the Butler assassination attempt.

More on Alberta’s boundary mess… CBC News election unit analysed the maps: the main report would have produced a 7-seat margin of victory for UCP. The minority report by UCP appointees? A 23-seat win, with many seats narrowly flipped in Calgary. W/analysis by me: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Canada will be in a superior negotiating position for NAFTA-sequel renegotiations, with way more leverage, because Trump will be coming out of the Iran war and approaching midterms and therefore will be needing stable Canadian trade more than we need theirs foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/20/c...

It is genuinely wild how the GOP can insult Canada for over a year non-stop and then get angry about being "disrespected"

LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours

You're going to want to watch this.

Bob Rae: "I wouldn't talk about Mark Carney and Howard Lutnick in the same sentence if I were you. Mr. Carney's tone was respectful. And it was intelligent. I'll let Howard Lutnick’s comments stand for themselves."

Future headline: TRUMP SACRIFICES MANY AMERICAN LIVES AND WASTES HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO RESURRECT OBAMA'S JCPOA.

Die soon.

Good to see Mr. Coyne advocating use of the federal power disallow provincial legislation to rein in rogue Premiers’ worst excesses. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Maybe my favorite sign of the day for its sheer simplicity

Never in my life have I believed Iran state media over our own government. Until now. That’s not being “unpatriotic,” it’s having a brain that functions.

Like those "good news" stories about how a book club raised money to buy a poor kid a wheelchair - celebrating tragic systemic failures of society with one-off, feel-good stories. We can do better for all if we tried.

You know who has some cards now? Canada. 🇨🇦 (via B of A) @mark-carney.bsky.social

U.S. ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra should be summoned by the Minister to ask whether he has suffered a head injury.

Great article. I find myself wondering if Jivani is positioning himself to replace Poilievre at some point. But if so, he’s headed down the wrong path.

Speaking of going “off the reservation“, has Poilievre commented on what Jivani has been up to?

Excellent article. “The most difficult adjustment for Canada may be neither economic nor military but psychological. We must accept that the rupture in our affairs stems from the rise of a fascist authoritarian US government. We must act accordingly.”

I feel like too many Canadians think the end of CUSMA will be the end of the world. There was massive trade between our two countries before CUSMA and its predecessor and this will continue. Canada is not in a particularly weak negotiating position here.

Enten: "If Canadians really don't like Donald Trump, how do Americans feel about Canada? Well, they actually like Canada! ... even among Republicans, it's +30 ... Canada -- more popular than Donald Trump in Trump's own country"

Dave Matthews and Tim Ryenolds playing Neil Young’s Ohio last night and ends with some Rage Against the Machine.

Canadian military is modeling a potential US invasion. G&M: “the military envisions unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military or armed civilians would resort to ambushes, sabotage, drone warfare or hit-and-run tactics” Where’s the signup for the Canadian Mujahideen?

Australians are deciding USA is not a place to visit… oddly they still are going to Canada. Almost like there is something specific about the US.. #ThePoint thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

Pictured (L-R): Sylvester Stallone, apparently stung by an entire beehive; Paul Stanley, revealing that the KISS makeup was load bearing; and Donald Trump, recently poisoned by the Joker

It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all

Giving credit where credit is due #FIFA #FIFApeaceprize

Rewatching Mississippi Burning, and the local folk being interviewed by news media in the movie are sounding shockingly similar to the racist garbage coming out of Trump and his cronies the past couple days.
