Hmmm … and still the Canadian government pins its hopes on a renewed deal

Minnesota Star Tribune identifies ICE agent who fatally shot woman in Minneapolis

Opponents of the Doug Ford government’s controversial Ontario Place redevelopment will make their case to the Supreme Court of Canada, raising doubts about the project’s future, after the top court granted leave to appeal Thursday.

We see this similar garbage logic in Canada. There are people defending timid-ass statements from our leaders because speaking out to defend democratic and law-based norms won't move Trump or might antagonize him. As if Trump is the only audience. The public reinforcing of norms is its own good.

Trump Has Started Carving Up the World. Canada should be alarmed.

Huzzah for Chrystia Freeland but what about us constituents? We now have a supposed full time MP with two side hustles - one in the UK and now one in Ukraine. Is this how little the liberal government think of voters? That we only deserve a part time MP? #cdnpoli

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

The #Carney led #austerity onslaught that is being taken up in response to the trade crisis is getting underway. This attack occurs in a context where the social infrastructure is already weakened. We can see this if we look at the key indicators of #homelessness and #hunger.

While in the middle of a housing crisis and an affordability crisis the Liberal government chooses to spend its resources on mass deportation #cdnpoli

From ethical banker to butler for the billionaires the depressing arc of Mark Carneys values #cdnpoli

The Billionaire’s banker?

Doug Ford's runaway gravy train should alarm us all #onpoli

Carney waffles on the environment but stands firm on eliminating taxes for American Billionaires doing business in Canada #cdnpoli #values

As Doug Ford orders civil servants back to work, his MPs get to work from home until March 2026 #onpoli

There was a time when building reliable train service was considered nation building. #cdnpoli

Maybe if Carney had paid his dues, sat in parliament first and learned how it works he wouldn't be making such a hash of things #cdnpoli

Considering the guys book was titled Values it’s surprising to discover he doesn’t seem to have any #cdnpoli

Feeding the hand that bites you #cdnpoli

Concerns raised that yet ANOTHER Canadian Army project is being tailored just for U.S. equipment. #cdnpoli #canada #boycottusa #fascistusa #racistusa #corruption #greed #military shorturl.at/k1z4G

Mark Carney's nation building project threatens to tear the nation apart #cndpoli @mark-carney.bsky.social

Carney says his obligation is to seek the highest return on investment regardless of human rights, environment or other foreign policy objectives. Our highest return will not come from Europe. It comes from the United States. Carney has waved a white flag at Trump. No more elbows up. #cdnpoli

#Carney is ready to take up a principled fight to defend his agenda of austerity, militarism, attacks on immigrants, law and order, environmental degradation and an assault on Indigenous rights. How noble of him! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Statement from the president of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, on Prime Minister Mark Carney’s trip to Egypt: “It is unprecedented that Canadian media be entirely excluded from a Canadian prime minister’s foreign trip.”

"the settlement does not constitute an admission of liability". It's just your basic pay off.

I agree with Ben Mulroney on one thing-he is not a journalist.

It's not just about economics and turning Canada into the world's gas station. Elbows up is also about who we are as a people. Mark Carney needs to grow a spine and defend Canadian values against US fascism @chrystia-freeland.bsky.social #cdnpoli

Carney looking less like an elbows up enforcer and more like a player who fakes an injury so he can sit the game out.

Still relevant

They say it was a submarine sandwich but to me it will always be a hero.

I also would like in on the new MPP pension plan. I mean what kind of greedy self serving legislator would grant themselves a better pension than the people they govern? #onpoli @maritstilesndp.bsky.social

Trying to imagine what the world would be like if Churchill had folded like @mark-carney.bsky.social after Dunkirk. If he had told Britons hey we can be proud that we tried, now let's give up and move on. #cdnpoli #wrongendup

Why is Carney in the process of choosing a 25-year cloud computing contract for the federal government, short listed between: Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Oracle? Services Canada operates 4 enterprise data centres. #cdnpoli #canada www.canada.ca/en/shared-se...

Meet the man with no elbows @mark-carney.bsky.social #cdnpoli

The Carney government's eagerness to act as a headwaiter for Canada's corporate class created the crisis at Air Canada. @pattyhajdu.bsky.social needs to resign. #cdnpoli

The CIRB order is compromised by the fact board chair Maryse Tremblay refused to recuse herself. @pattyhajdu.bsky.social needs to resign as minister. The government should force Air Canada back to the table.

Putin asking Trump to play a game of solitaire.

The new Trump reality show: Worlds biggest loser

Two Canadian toddlers abducted by ICE and held without due process. Where is the Canadian government? #elbowsup #wrongendup #cdnpoli @mark-carney.bsky.social

Lately Mark Carney appears to be confusing his elbows with his arse. #cdnpoli #wrongendup

Donald Trump invited an indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin onto American soil. This man has stolen over 19,000 Ukrainian children. This is an international war crime. Trump wants to kiss this gangster's ring. We need leaders speaking up for the stolen children. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yo1...

Here’s an idea maybe Putin could just stop murdering

I'd say that the VERY corrupt Brian Mulroney started most of Canada's modern problems. Without Canadian accord, he signed NAFTA - which accelerated the erosion of our sovereignty. Pro Privatization Underfunding services. Off loading Fed responsibility to Prov. Selling austerity to the public

"the real danger of a strongman isn’t his tactics; it’s how others, especially those with power, justify their acquiescence" from the former American ambassador to Budapest www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/o...

He promised the CBC a $150Million boost. He's delivering a $200Million cut. To paraphrase Johnny Rotten - ever feel like you've been cheated? #cdnpoli

Hey Canada - you know what is neat? The interest paid by Canadians to finance their food purchases (debt) is calculated in our GDP as 'production'.. ...woohoo! AND because our household debt is $1.84 for every $1 dollar we earn - our national GDP looks, as Tony the Tiger would say; 'GRREEAAATT!'

Well at least the Billionaires were spared the 3%DST #cdnpoli

Wait what? Cut backs to government spending in order to offset increased investment in the military and tax cuts for the rich? Sounds like Canada's version of Trump's big beautiful bill #cdnpoli

Trump talks tough on tariffs when it's Japan but notice he hasn't mentioned sending a letter to the Heard and McDonald Islands

The fact that just a week ago Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne was adamant Canada wouldn't budge makes this climb down that much more humiliating for Canada. So much for "elbows up". #cdnpoli
