Lowkey, Oprah is not a nice person and should get way more heat than she does.

Out of all the pleadings in today's hearing on QC's secularism laws, this is probably the most cogent argument for ruling against pre-emptive use of s.33 In effect, how can you apply s. 33 without first concluding if the particular law impacts those rights not covered by s. 33?

The job losses in the U.S aren't the tariffs or Iran as much as it is Trump's immigration policy and ICE. Trump attacked America's real economy and labour force.

Right on cue.... www.cnn.com/world/live-n...

The war in Iran opens the door for China to swoop in as a benevolent actor to gain influence in the ME, especially over oil-rich Iran and access to the Straight of Hormuz. Trump's recklessness allows for further Chinese influence over the region as Russia can't support Iran like it has.

This idea about floor crossing not being the will of their constituents is a bad-faith argument when a minority government can be toppled at the whim of the opposition despite the will of that same electorate. Salty sour grapes is all this is. #cdnpoli

Get rid of whipped votes and then you won't have to worry about floor crossing. Parties complaining about floor crossing also whip the shit out of their caucus. You don't hear the CPC/NDP/Bloc advocating to get rid of the whip. I wonder why? #cdnpoli

It’s almost as if Trump’s invasion of Venezuela was to secure a domestic oil source in anticipation of a disruption in the global oil supply…

This is really about PP trying to tell time; hoping for a pre-Trump era trade relationship with the U.S. This being said, thinking you'll be able to campaign on economics against Carney even 20 years from now is either foolish or insanely narcissistic. youtu.be/izi9PLODlIc?... #cdnpoli

I think we need to consider that a Parliament of 343 members who are likely as tired as the rest of us. They don't want 3 years of fighting on the Hill due to a minority gov't. A Carney majority turns the temp in Ottawa down significantly and this fact shouldn't be overlooked. #cdnpoli

You can win 2 elections and rape one child. You won't be remembered as a president, you'll be remembered as a child fucker.

Regardless if the US Gov't imposes severe voter suppression laws, they cannot force Americans to like them. Where the ability of citizens to remove unpopular governments through peaceful means is taken away, there is only one alternative. The SAVE Act is more threatening than some understand.

Federal/Provincial RTO mandates aren't about collaboration or REITs, but about ensuring jobs stay in ridings. WFH enables workers to live anywhere while crashing employment in those places where all the gov't work is (see Ottawa). WFH destroys Ottawa's local economy by spreading FTEs across Cda.

We've had enough of Danielle Smith's word salad. It's time for the Premier to clearly and unequivocally denounce separatism. Albertans want to know EXACTLY where she stands. youtube.com/shorts/l4uu1...

Danielle Smith could call a snap election tomorrow, putting separatism on the ballot and giving her an out. At minimum this puts any referendum at least on hold.

Labrador is well positioned to use the power generated at Churchill Falls to power the mining and refining of rare earth metals deposited in the province. Labrador also sits on the mouth of the North West Passage, and direct market access to Europe. Something to think about.

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social Nothing goes against the argument that Canada is a save place for investment than two referendums on ending Canada.

Americans need to stop demanding that Obama get out there and do something when you can do far more than he can. Ain't nobody coming to save you from yourselves.

Hot Take: Carney's speech to Davos was just as much about promoting Canada as a stable economy to other central banks looking to have fixed-income assets other than U.S bonds? Even if Canada can get a fraction of that marketshare....

Trump is big mad South Korea is potentially getting a deal for submarines with Canada. This combined with the U.S. Ambassador threatening us about F-35s, it's obvious. This is all about CUSMA. www.cnn.com/2026/01/26/e...

What are the odds Trump has a ghost writer for all his social media or it's being run through AI?

I have a question for Dem leadership: Why aren't there bi-partisan efforts to find any and all illegal things Stephen Miller is doing, launch investigations, and simply fill up his schedule so he has no time to fuck things up further? There are only 24 hours in a day, I'm sure you can find 25.

With respect to Trump's threats to Canada just now: 1) Release the Epstein files 2) TACO 3) SCOTUS likely to decide Trump Taxes illegal and *poof* goes that leverage. Carney team likely knows it. MC ran Brookfield ffs. His entire job was global financial risk management. 4) See 1.

Here come all the privileged folks living a life where they can have the courage to look down on us from upon high to preach while vulnerable people get kicked in the teeth for simply existing. Yes, yes. The Dems are as bad as the GOP. All sides! All sides! Bahahaha

The only Americans who can say that the Dems are as bad as the GOP are those who have the privilege of not dealing with the consequences of either. It's privileged, lazy, and selfish.

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social I've been a fan of Power and Politics (and previous incarnations) since the early 2000s. The Power Panel is the most broken part of your show and that at these crucial moments the panelists can't park their goddamned partisan spin is a fucking disgrace to Canada.

Kate Harisson is fucking insufferable to watch. Why are Conservatives INCAPABLE of rooting for Canada? Like, put your fucking partisanship aside and start standing up for Canada just once.

@thegodpodcast.com This true, bruv?

I'd feel this way too if I was a fucking idiot when it comes to international politics and rule of law. Moral of the story: don't be a fucking idiot and comment on things you're too dumb to understand.

@gtconway.bsky.social Question: how much does the American defence sector stand to lose if allies no longer purchase their products? Is it billions?

In surprising development, Toronto Sun claims to have "journalists" on staff.

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social Given the state of the US right now, is it even feasible to enter into any CUSMA negotiations at this stage? Other than serving some Canadian political theatre, we can't reasonably come to any deals under the Trump Admin; right?

How on earth is Canada supposed to negotiate CUSMA under these circumstances? It is an exercise in futility to put any effort into CUSMA negotiations when the current US Regime is existing as a mafia state. We don't negotiate with terrorists.

Trump seizes Venezuela as if he's playing CK3. He's now rumoured to be appointing Miller as his loyal vassal. Are these the nascent stages of the Second Dark Age?

You would think they’d be better at this with the consequences being so high.

Chuck is going to roast Shaq over this....

This World Cup draw is like a timeshare presentation.

Maybe this is all a takeout and Smith really just wants the money for carbon capture projects and the promise of a possible pipeline is the consideration. It's still infrastructure and puts people to work.

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social re: the Gryphon planes. I would suspect the int'l consensus is that the Arctic will be the next theatre of war and it makes sense for us to integrate with the Europeans who have as much territory in the Arctic as Canada while Alaska isn't much.

NDP leader Naheed Nenshi pulled few punches today… Not only did he condemn Smith’s claim Peter Lougheed would support her attack on human rights… He called her and the entire UCP caucus cowards. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Democrats should make it abundantly clear that anyone who takes up employment with ICE will have their names published for the historical record. Actions will have historical consequences

@thehill.com and?

You want to know how to get around corporate media? Bring back local print journalism.

What if the whole point of Putin meeting with Trump was so Putin could size him up to see what his health looks like?

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social Hi David! Your guest is incorrect. The New Housing Rebate offers relief on the federal portion of the GST/HST paid on new housing. Granted the cap is low, it's still not accurate to say there is no relief. www.canada.ca/en/revenue-a...

Trump is going to deploy ICE at polling stations across Blue districts and even though undocumented persons cannot vote; it will be used to intimidate persons of colour (who OVERWHELMINGLY vote democrat) to stay home at risk of being denied any due process and get deported despite being citizens.

Trump and the GOP are essentuially colonizing the United States.

Work permits are 100% purview of the state. If this asshole was preaching for no money it would be a different story. Fact is he's selling concert tickets and you need a work visa to do so.

Honest question: what's stopping CBS from bringing the Late Show back after the merger is complete?

According to Modry... When he asked how long until Danielle Smith started leading the separatism parade... She said, "Give me six months". And then he reminded her of his "or else". #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
