“The world is built on relationships, not leverage, and relationships are built on reciprocity and respect. It is not Trump’s genius to recognize America’s unused strength; it is his blindness to see that our strength was a function of our restraint.” #elbowsup #canada

🔥REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “How rich @KristiNoem says showing up with a legal firearm is grounds for execution when they support Rittenhouse & pardon protestors… we cannot go down this road, countryman against countryman… they’re trying to keep us divided so they can line their own pockets.”

Federally, the @mark-carney.bsky.social government must summon the US ambassador for an explanation and, barring a complete retraction and an apology, expel him in protest. Provincially, Alberta government needs to pick a side. Are Premier Smith and the UCP loyal to Canada, or separatists?

"The United States did not just lose visitors—it lost a generation of loyal consumers who required no subsidies, no marketing, and no coercion, only respect." Instead of simply driving to Florida, my annual snowbird destinations now include Portugal, Spain, British Columbia and the Caribbean.

It couldn't be any clearer - we can't rely on Trump's America. We need closer ties with Europe. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jan/21/donald-trump-america-european-leaders-us-president

This is what a statesperson sounds like. Poilievre does not have what it takes to guide us through these uncertain times. I'm so thankful that @mark-carney.bsky.social came into politics when he did. I shudder to think where we'd be with the conservatives kowtowing to Trump for the last year.

This is absolutely unacceptable. @mayoroliviachow.ca at the very least, get this woman temporary space in a retirement residence until this is resolved. All retirement homes have space for respite stays.

Should be bigger news that the bureau chief of Toronto Sun is celebrating an unarmed woman being executed in the street

@chrismurphyct you need to be having the same conversation about Canada. If the US goes to war with NATO over Greenland, it effectively declares war on Canada. And what happens to US capitalist prosperity when you go to war with every foreign market? Who you going to sell to?

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

The oil reserve numbers are an ego driven "guess" by Chavez. The oil is buried deep in the jungle. There is no infrastructure to access or extract the oil, which requires electrical plants and steam. No roads, a poorly educated populace, no refining infrastructure. Good luck, Donny.

Interesting analysis. #elbowsup

RAE: "With great respect to the State Department, David, this is our hemisphere... Like, what the hell is this?"

UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper: "Let me be very clear... Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark... The future of Greenland is a matter for the Greenlanders and Danes, and no one else."

MAGA premier Danielle "DONBAS" SMITH wrote legislation making it illegal for the courts to question the constitutionality of a referendum to break up our country. She forgets her legislature sits on treaty land. Mic drop moment.

ICYMI: This is the full Jack Smith deposition. It is 8 hours long. I’m finding it to be incredibly eye opening.👀 youtu.be/lR-bhPzQYUE?...

Canada Fights Fire With Fire Trump operates like a mob boss collecting protection money. He assumes everyone will just submit. Wrong. Canada, America’s polite northern neighbor, finally decided to quit backing down and start fighting back. open.substack.com/pub/samuelwy...

“The promise AI companies make to investors is that there will be AIs that can do your job, and when your boss fires you and replaces you with AI, he will keep half of your salary for himself, and give the other half to the AI company.” Read this before you unwittingly become part of the machine.

The people who voted in the orange menace knowing full well who he is and what he's capable of along with all those who didn't vote or didn't want to vote for the "woman" are not innocent bystanders. The US has shown their true colours, and Canadians are voting with our feet and wallets. #elbowsup

“Much of the leadership of the Trump administration, emphatically beginning at the top, exhibits the behavioral patterns of children—broken children, in many cases, who will never really become fully adult and do not understand what adult behavior is.”

This is long but worth a listen. Not a fan of Bill Gates and not defending his Epstein connection but MS is bigger than its founder. And digital sovereignty should be our priority.

Microsoft chooses Canada over the US because Canada offers long term stability and sovereignty in a changing digital world. The groundwork is decades in the making, long before Carney. But had Poilievre won, you can bet our future would be viewed differently. Long listen but worth it.

This is a recipe for disaster. Citizens are not profit centres. Governments exist for a reason. They provide services that for profit companies can’t or won’t provide affordably.

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with the US? Richest country on earth tortures 90 year olds for profit. WTAF? Be ashamed.

In Seattle

22 Minutes nails it again. (or Canadian SNL as I've seen some Americans call it...which is weird because SNL was created by a Canadian.)

Say their names.

"Quiet Piggy." A new Christmas children's classic from the Orange Menace in Chief.

We need a Canadian list. I’m happy to see that I’m already boycotting most of the biggies on this list. But there are some surprises. Most people are too lazy and comfortable to care. I xled Amazon Prime a year ago and it’s been surprisingly easy to find alternatives or not spend at all.

🎵 “Join Ice” - @wellesmusic on Colbert

The View co-hosts praised survivors of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein for creating a public service announcement where they drive home just how young they were when he sexually abused them.

I can't love this woman more #JasmineCrockett

It's an attack on local democracy that hands control to political insiders. Take action now: Send your email to your MPP and tell them to vote NO on Bill 33 and Bill 60 (4/4) OntarioNDP.ca/stop-the-attack

"There are about 1000 of us." How can we ignore the rape of 1000 children by powerful men, many who are still alive, and some who are running the world. #Believethevictims

Way to go! 🔥👍💯❤️👏 This 14-year-old girl hands Megyn Kelly her ass for her utterly disgusting minimization of child sexual abuse. You go girl! #cdnpoli

Best 3 minutes you will spend on the internet today.

Jim Acosta has a message for The Washington Post: “Go fuck yourself”

Holy shit. This legit gave me chills. Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote. WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.

This is amazing. And it looks like @joyannreid.bsky.social created it!

Poilievre tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries & the Cdn Gas Association. It’s not surprising for a career politician who has voted against the environment 400 times in 20 years Poilievre has capitulated to every one of Big Oil’s demands cultmtl.com/2025/04/pier... #cdnpoli

Who among us haven’t thought about doing this?

Absolutely worth a read.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

If the coastline is Canada's, so are the resources. Don't try that "nationalism' bullshit with us, Danielle and Scott. You can't have it both ways, because we won't let you!

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Trump owned the Miss Teen pageants from 1996 to 2015... The question I have is who was supplying teens to whom? His grandfather ran brothels during the gold rush, do you think the family would just give up their lucrative human trafficking empire for real estate? m.youtube.com/watch?v=gnib...

“The country now lives in all-caps, from school-board meetings that sound like street rallies and comment sections that have spilled into the street. The algorithm bankrolls outrage, the put-down is political vernacular and the culture applauds “saying the quiet part out loud”.”
