Ask Not for Whom the Bell Tolls, Mr. President open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

If the last 7 days have shown us anything, it's that our government really believes in a world that is truly Hobbesian all the way down. @dandrezner.bsky.social www.foreignaffairs.com/guest-pass/r...

Unfortunately right now we have to rely on either the Supreme Court or spineless Republicans in Congress to end this shit. This also proves to every country that whatever “deal” you make with Trump is utterly worthless.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

Happy Canada Day!

I would show up in a bathing suit for this.

Merkley had a pretty effective day. Or will have, if you make this go viral.

Love a good FAFO on a long weekend!

I need this cat !

Canada has shown the world how to stand up to the gangster regime. The United States is losing $12.5 billion in travel as Trump turns them into an international pariah. This is the "find out" phase of international relations. Keep the boycott strong. #FAFO #elbowsup www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/t...

As Trump celebrates all things Saudi, someone not to forget about. She is held at an unknown prison with no contact with outside world for social media posts about her right to dress as she pleases. www.bbc.com/news/world-m...

Americans still think bad things will never happen to them, so they don’t care.

I LOVE THIS!!! Well done, Harvard!

Some rare positive news for the global order from @edwardluce.bsky.social and @financialtimes.com, reinforced in #Canada and #Australia: "America’s 47th president plays unwitting ally to democracy everywhere except at home." www.ft.com/content/f063...

This is Canada — and we decide what happens here.

This, what @charlieangus104.bsky.social said.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: "We answered the call to defeat fascism. We know we are not always perfect, but we always strive to be good. We do not do things because they are easy, but because they are right. We will rise to meet this challenge, and we will emerge stronger."

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

Largely symbolic as the House will not take this up, but an important rebuke to Herr Trump and his band of freakish brothers.

We need to maintain a sense of levity, friends😀🇨🇦

Imagine, this happening today Canadians are being advised to bring burner phones when crossing the border, to avoid the paranoid US government

To every American news outlet: Please listen carefully.. Tariffs are NOT why Canadians are ready to brawl. We are pissed because the pig that 77 million of you chose as your leader keeps suggesting our nation should no longer exist. I know you're slow and this may be hard to grasp, but please try.

I can attest to the truth of this statement.

For anyone needing some levity. This is so beautiful.

The MAGA morons will go to any lengths to show their spite and stupidity towards Canada. Keep the boycott going. No travel to USA. #elbowsup www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is so chilling. Stay away from the US, friends. 🇨🇦

This, by Paul Krugman, is a must-read. Destroying America's Brand open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

It's not settled yet for sure but it looks like Mark Carney will be Canada's next Prime Minister. I'm hoping Trump will negotiate in better faith now that his wife doesn't want to fuck Canada's leader.

masterful gambit sir

Premier Wab Kinew is a real leader. And a funny one too.

The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty. The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean. Sucks for Kentucky and California.

In which a Nobel prize winning economist tries to figure out Trump’s animus towards Canada, and concludes, reasonably, it’s because Trump just can’t stand decency. #Elbowsup open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

Ok, Canadians. You know what to do. Tighten our belts. Strengthen our resolve. Show our unity. Demonstrate our national pride. Support our real allies. Put Canada first forever and always.

CANADA Elbows Up 🇨🇦

"Canada needs to be closer to Europe and the United Kingdom," "We are in a security crisis," - Canada's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly.

The disgraceful behaviour in the White House is not about Trump or Vance. It is about the complicity of the entire political class of the United States and the American media. It is about the very soul of America. They either stand up for democracy or they stand for tyranny. The world is watching.

Please, dear friends south of the border, wake the F up. Your grand experiment, exceptionalism and world leadership, is about to take its final gasp. The power you've enjoyed for literally decades as a great nation is on the verge of ending.

Extortion, pure and simple.

More than one in four Canadians see the United States as an "enemy" country, according to a new poll by Canadian pollster Leger www.newsweek.com/canada-us-re...

Happy to be quoted in this excellent @wallstreetjournal.bsky.social piece on 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 relations. I wish the topic weren’t front page news. www.wsj.com/world/americ...

Let’s be honest. We really needed this. #4Nations #CanadaWins

This is very powerful.

Canadian teacher here. I have never seen my HS students so invested in learning about Canadian values, identity and government as has happened the last month. America, you’ve become a foil to functioning democracy and good government. My students universally express gratitude they are not American.

New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country nationalnewswatch.com/2025/02/20/n...
