1760-Franklin: "With Canada in our possession, our people in America will increase amazingly." He tried to negotiate with Canada into joining the US in 1776 and again in 1782–failed both times. 1812-Jefferson: acquiring Canada would be "a mere matter of marching."

EXPLAINING CANADA DAY TO AMERICANS

The thing about burning a bridge, is someone else will always build a better one.

Canada, Trinidad &Tobago are the ONLY COUNTRIES IN THE ENTIRE WORLD world who provide residency for the leader of the opposition. Ditch the 19-room mansion with private chef, nannies, servants & gardener for Poilievre! WE PAY FOR THIS! END THIS DRAIN ON OUR WALLETS! #cdnpoli

NovaRed Mining brought on Kristi Noem to promote a copper mining project in British Columbia. They have doubled down on this contempt for Canada by appointing a Trump cheerleader from Truth Social. They have no business being anywhere near CDN resources. charlieangus.substack.com/p/from-bad-t...

America Explains Canada To Itself

These signs have recently been installed in the forest in Sechelt British Columbia.

British historian Simon Schama's description of Pete Hegseth's D-Day remarks could stand as the epitaph for the Donald Trump era: “A special kind of loathsomeness: a blend of historical deafness, grotesque stupidity and comically ludicrous self-importance." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

🇨🇦 When Canadians vacation in Canada, the money stays closer to home. Hotels, restaurants, tour guides, gas stations, small shops, airports, museums, and local workers all benefit. Choosing Canada is not only about scenery — it is also about supporting communities during a tough economy. ♥️🇨🇦

This story deserves much more prominence. Alberta's oilsands corporations were never serious about carbon capture. Alberta’s crown jewel of carbon capture quietly reduces its targets — by 77%: thenarwhal.ca/oilsands-pat...

I knew we were in a comparatively solid position but holy crap "Canada's net debt-to-GDP ratio stands at just 10.2 per cent, compared to the G7 average (excluding Canada) of 101.8 per cent" #Canada #cdnpoli budget.canada.ca/update-misea...

Bette Midler dropped a revamped Woodie Guthrie protest song into All You Fascists (Bound to Lose) against Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies in Congress. This part where she sang about the Epstein files and said “you pervs are bound to lose” had me rolling. Bravo, Bette (and Barbara Hershey)! 🔥🔥🔥

🧵Spotted at a Small All Ages Music Gig in Aotearoa New Zealand: A very serious looking teen (15?) is standing against a wall, watching the lead singer of an awesome band* own the stage. Every now and then, Dad putting a hand on Teen's shoulder. Checking in. Stoic cool nod. Yeah, this is okay. (1)

Still more historically accurate than a lot of films & tv shows ;) youtu.be/xHwW4EnWLBU?...

📢 Canada’s latest greenhouse gas data is out, and it shows Alberta’s lack of progress. While national emissions fell 10% since 2005, Alberta’s rose 4%, driven by ⬆️ oilsands pollution. ⌛ The MOU deal on strong industrial carbon pricing and other climate policies is overdue. #abpoli buff.ly/Ayr9R6M

Trump threatened to destroy an entire civilization. He has said he can do what he wants with Cuba and threatened the pope. Canada shares a 9,000 kms border with a nation that is not under the rule of law. These are my 10 steps Canadians must take to stop tyranny. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENoN...

Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas came out with some pretty strong words against Alberta separation — and in favour of immigration as a strength for the city — in his remarks at a Calgary Economic Development event yesterday:

How great is that? 🇨🇦❤️

Wine control to Major Ron Wine control to Major Ron Take your corkscrew out And put your records on This is Major Ron to Wine Control! I'm feeling very scared Cos I'm rockin' in the most unusual way Tell my wife I will be rockin' out Today-ay-ay!! RS

Using Spotify is just as bad as using X, in some aspects, even more consequential: Spotify is actively killing music, not just exploiting musicians. All other streaming platforms are better, and have as wide a choice. Migrating your playlists is dead easy. Please leave that evil platform - now.

Now that Artemis II has launched, we have 9 days to get every person on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can pull off something absolutely hilarious when the astronauts return.

Today, we celebrate the achievements of transgender, Two-Spirit and non-binary people. Today is also a reminder that not everyone is free to live their lives safely. Many still face hate and discrimination, and struggle to access the life-saving health care and supports. (1/3)

It's #WomensHistoryMonth 🎉 As usual, I'll be sharing ordinary women's stories. I like writing about these women. They didn't do anything the world would deem spectacular. They were just everyday people going about their lives. Surviving the way they knew best. #History

Happy birthday Vincent.

Glen Baxter has died. His drawings of cowboy art critics and wimples were an absurdist joy. RIP

Adam van Koeverden, 🇨🇦Secretary of State (Sport), made the following statement today:

China flipped buses electric: ~700k+ e-buses (~90% global), ~80% new energy, ~100% new sales electric. Backed by LFP + solar depots. This isn’t transport—it’s energy system change. Less diesel, fewer imports, no oil chokepoints. Decarbonisation = energy independence ⚡🔋 #Bettrification

Annual reminder: don't spray spring dandelions with roundup or similar chemicals. One flower can be visited by 100+ bees in a day, and your chemicals will kill all of them.
