Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

“A politically motivated assassination”. Absolutely horrifying. It is a dangerous time to be a politician. That’s not just brutal for politicians and their families. It’s terrible for democracy.

🇨🇦 Well done! 🙌 "Elections Canada's preliminary estimates indicate that 19,583,016 Canadians cast a ballot. This translates into a voter turnout rate of about 68.65%." www.elections.ca/content.aspx...

“…this morning, from a war zone half a world away, I was reading about your election. And for the first time in days, I exhaled. A small, almost invisible breath. Relief. And then came gratitude… You didn’t just choose kindness or experience… You chose not to flirt with fascism.” From Ukraine.

🍁 It's ELECTION DAY in Canada! I'm so grateful to be HOME and you can bet I VOTED! 🇨🇦 I always loved Canada quietly, like most Canadians, until I moved to the US. Canadian patriotism seems to breed more by spending time outside of our borders, whether by choice or in service. 1/

Q: "Have you taken any steps to carry out President Trump's plans, as he has said, to annex Canada?" Rubio: "No." Q: "Does the U.S. still want to make Canada the 51st state?" Rubio: "The president has stated repeatedly he thinks Canada would be better off as a state."

“I dream of a a safe, kind, and clean Canada. A Canada that is not the US.” This video is amazing. Canada will emerge stronger with a leader made for this moment - @mark-carney.bsky.social 💪❤️🇨🇦

I have to say, kudos to premier Tim Houston. I disagree with him on a lot of policies, but I'm grateful he's not endorsing or promoting Pierre Poilievre. 👏👏👏 #cdnpoli #nspoli #CanadaVotes #VoterTurnoutChallenge #NeverPoilievre #ViveleCanada www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

A play in two acts.

It's an illusion that a country can wall off the rest of the world - but still operate a free market at home. Protectionism breeds government favoritism and state control. Bloomberg today:

It sounds like it came right from a Russian propaganda playbook.

This is what I've been dealing with since December! Extremely frustrating. I like to use my points at Christmas, and when I went to check out, I couldn't use them. Looks like I'm not alone. www.cbc.ca/news/gopubli...

Wabanakwut "Wab" Kinew, Premier of Manitoba embodies REAL Canadian values. He leads with integrity, humility and compassion! Manitobans hit the jackpot - best Premier EVER and a wonderful role model! This great man is a future Prime Minister! Canada would be blessed to have him lead us!🙏🏻🩵

And this is why you never vote conservative! This is not how to attract or retain physicians, Premier Tim Houston! Do better. #cdnpoli #nspoli www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/nov...

I don't trust polls in general; they provide a moment's view, a snapshot of a small instance, but seldom the big picture. Far too many people choose not to vote because they see a poll and figure theirs won't count, so why bother? Happened twice in Ontario elections: 55% didn't vote.

The so-called freedom convoy that occupied Ottawa & threatened to overthrow the democratically elected federal government in Feb. 2022 was driven, in part, by Russian ‘active measures.’ And Conservative Pierre Poilievre fell for it, embracing the movement. www.thewhig.com/opinion/extr...

Historically, Canadian women vote more than men across every age demographic, and you can see why it's not looking good for PP. #NeverPoilievre #CanadianWomenVote #cdnpoli youtu.be/pvEphJL6SII?...

Well worth a listen. I so admire Senator Welch from Vermont. He's a reminder of all the decent Americans fighting against this administration for what is right and just.

"The notion that taxing Lesotho gemstones is necessary for the U.S. to add steel jobs in Ohio is so absurd that I briefly lost consciousness in the middle of writing this sentence."

🍁Happy Friday from my best little guy, Famous Seamus O'Sullivan. Thank God for our fur babies! 💕

If a deranged president intentionally destroying the country's economy with a ludicrous obsession (and misunderstanding) of tariffs *isn't* justification for invoking the 25th Amendment, I honestly can't imagine any scenario that would be.

When you slap tariffs on Canada, one of our closest allies, Americans pay the price. Fewer exports. Fewer jobs. Higher prices. All for what? Chaos. To our Canadian friends: I’m sorry. To Americans: Don’t accept this as normal. We deserve better.

I mean, the man doesn't get how groceries work, so...🤷‍♀️

Poilievre is running the Trump playbook of attacking journalists who dare question his BS. it is disgraceful that @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social caved to MAPLE MAGA intimidation. Read my latest Substack. @rachelgilmore.bsky.social substack.com/home/post/p-...

CTV canceled a segment that fact checked claims and statements by the current political parties. CTV canceled this segment because PP's side were complaining because facts were making their candidate look bad. What about what the rest of us want? This is fascism and CTV bowed down to it.

Reminder to my Canadian friends. Floriduh just told you your tourism dollars don't matter. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

The Canadian Association of University Teachers is expressing alarm over the Conservative Party of Canada’s promise to “end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and in the allocation of federal funds for university research.” www.caut.ca/latest/2025/...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Let me get this straight, he's imposing massive taxes on *absolutely everything* going into the U.S? From all over the world?!? And he's selling this as a good thing for Americans? 🍁 So yeah, this is going to hurt Canada, but at least we still have friends. #ElbowsUp #TeamCanada #TariffsAreTaxes
