@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

All the MAGA grifter media are dumping Trump because they know his time is up. Trump is about to get quite lonely and it's only a matter of time until he (gets forced to) steps down.

The level of privilege this post exhumes is astonishing. This is the level of fucks you can give when you're a white woman in America. Must be nice to have this luxury.

Not getting your measles vaccine is fucking dirty and akin to not washing your hands after taking a poop.

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social how much you wanna bet the GoC puts defined benefit pension on the block to reach the savings targets? #cdnpoli

Just a reminder: It's ok if it happens in the North East and New York. It's not ok if it happens to Florida or Texas.

The thing about Joe Rogan is that he's a fucking idiot.

New shots of the Canadian political reporting and pundit class are up! Looking great, everyone! #cdnpoli

The piece of shit one must be to decide they want to be an ICE agent is astounding. You all have earned the shame you will have carry around your necks the rest of your lives as the world remembers another dark American era where they round up persons of colour for the crime of not being white.

The US is just a dogshit country. It's that simple. It's people dogshit too. Fucking trash nation.

The "America First" policy is going to have the same impacts on American regional disunity as Sir John A. MacDonald's "National Policy" did to Canada's. That's if the Constitution survives, of course. #cdnpoli

Hot take: Carney invited Zelensky to get DJT to leave early. #cdnpoli

Is it a requirement they all Canadian journalists be complete D-bags? Dale Smith calls themselves a court reporter yet doesn't understand Canadian law. When questioned on it they tantrum. #cdnpoli

I have come to the conclusion that most fascists don't realize they are being fascist. Also, we are living in the "we have forgotten" portion of "less we forget"

Am I a bad Canadian because I don't give a flying fuck about Alberta's threats to separate or the crying coming out of Saskatchewan? Like, there are way more important things in my life than how Albertans and Saskawitchians feel. I don't care. You are not that important. #cdnpoli

Pundits poo-pooing today's military announcement goes to show that only the spiciest of takes earns the paycheques. #cdnpoli

Any Democrat advising U.S. Citizens to not protest against the rise of fascism in the U.S are complicit. Ignore those fucks.

It's official: After an incredible run, Ontario is no longer the centre of the universe. Alberta is. #cdnpoli

Didn't think I'd be boycotting anything made in Alberta but here we are. I'd buy oil from 20 Saudi Princes before I buy a single drop of Alberta oil and gas. What the hell is wrong with Alberta? #cdnpoli

The level of dick-riding on Linkedin is at all time highs.

The King's visit is not only an example of a Canadian national institution; it would be interesting to see how many Canadians come from a Commonwealth country making this a relatable and shared Canadian experience? #cdnpoli

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social important to include in all the separatist talk out of Alberta is that it's Treaty land. There is nothing to separate from.

Scheer sounds like he's stumping for Skippy right now. #pnpcbc

What planet do these Conservative pundits live on and why does NOBODY laugh at their repetitively bad hot-takes on Canadian politics? #pnpcbc

Danielle Smith can fuck off. #cdnpoli

Harper let Ontario go bankrupt in 2008. No help came for anybody. That’s why houses were cheap. Tens of thousands were foreclosures. Unemployment was 15%. Completely abandoned by the Feds

The AB victim complex is at the heart of western seperatism. Decades of being fluffed by MPs and conservative media has created this inaccurate representation of the wealth AB generates. Who subsidizes these industries? The taxpayer. Were do most taxpayers live? Not in Alberta. #cdnpoli

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social If you divide LPC seat count over total seats you get within 2% of their vote share while the CPC is drastically underrepresented.

Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

The thing about Skippy losing his seat but remaining leader is that he lost the one thing which helped him the most: parliamentary privilege. He can't talk all his bullshit without that privilege for fear of being sued. #cdnpoli

Unsure where my schadenfreude is going to be directed at the most tonight: Skippy or Byrne? Both are lamentable pigs and the worst manifestation of Canadian politics. Maybe I'll simply enjoy both? #cdnpoli

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social wrt heat between Singh and YVB: Bill 21 Singh wears a turban and YVB supports bans targeting turbans. There's personal beef.

The current state of the markets is why defined contribution plans are a bullshit sandwich being served to workers. Any employer who says otherwise is lying to you. #cdnpoli

Jenni Byrne should never be allowed near a single political campaign ever again after this epic collapse. She's a stinker. #cdnpoli

With nationalism about as high as I can remember in 50 years (maybe since '72?), I predict we will see the highest turnout in a federal election in 100 years. Whoever wins that election will have perhaps the firmest mandate a Canadian government has ever earned at the polls. #cdnpoli

FAFOphreude is my new favourite thing.
