What a psychopath!

A bit overcast this #CanadaDay, but time to get out my giant Canadian flag. It flew on top of the parliament building and was given to my father by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in 1984. A happy reminder of two great Canadians. #cdnpoli

Arrests in France after scores report being attacked with syringes at street music festival

🤣 ours is called 'password is gullible'

I don't remember conservatives having such "reluctance" to condemn Quebec's separation... #cdnpoli

Anthony Davis sums it up perfectly: America elected an imbecile. Trump knows nothing about law, nothing about the constitution. It is clear that Trump is the puppet of project 2025. The president of the United States is allowing fascist Republicans, who are not in power, to destroy America!

King Charles will be opening Canada's parliament later this month — the first time the English monarch has done so in 50 years. He'll be delivering PM Carney's first speech from the throne. It's a clear bit of symbolism as Canada tries to re-orient back towards Europe and way from America.

In line with security requirements PMMC will be moving into Rideau Cottage. @NCC it's time for a real official residence for the Prime Minister! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

New in PN: Trump's brain is gone "Trump’s competence has always left a lot to be desired, but recent interviews show a president who’s no longer capable of even the veneer of mental acuity. Meanwhile, his party behaves like courtiers to a mad king."

wow -- Trump is beta cucking to Mark Carney

Ruth Buzzi, comedy sketch player on groundbreaking series 'Laugh-In,' dies at 88.

EU privacy regulators have for the first time taken aim at Beijing’s sweeping surveillance laws in a ruling that threatens to cut off data pipelines with China to protect Europeans. The decision is a watershed moment for Europe’s relationship with Beijing.

Though Carney repealed the carbon tax, it was a relentless disinformation campaign by conservatives that made the policy political kryptonite. If Poilievre had won, the dismantling of Canada's environmental protections would have been job one.

Corrupt AF. Americans are being taken to the cleaners.

I'm more cynical about Doug Ford's outburst on unelected judges. Poilievre and his minions, like Jamil Jivani, are trying to paint Ford as a closet Liberal. Ford needed to burnish his con credentials without burning any bridges with the PM. So he put on a little performance to rebalance perception.

Sounds like his healthcare plan. Wake me up when you actually have one.

Awww. Look at the angry little rage badgers getting all excited about a referendum and separation because an election didn’t go their way. It’s kind of cute how they think it’s actually going to happen.

St Thomas Ontario where I grew up. Once thrived and when the Ford plant shut down became one of Canada’s highest unemployment rates. Trudeau brought them 2 new manufacturers and a ton of hope. Then they vote in this POS. 🤦🏻‍♂️

It's going to be interesting to see how these conservative splits play out. Clearly, Houston and Ford don't align themselves with the federal Conservative party while Smith and Moe do. #cdnpoli globalnews.ca/news/1115735...

BREAKING Remember when we said NY AG Letitia James had the power to investigate Trump tariff-related stock market manipulation and insider trading? IT'S HAPPENING. James just confirmed an investigation has been opened.

The measles vaccine is produced in human WI-38 cells derived from fetal lung tissue. This cell line has been grown in the lab since the '60s (like MANY other embryonic cell lines). The measles vaccine is not produced with aborted fetuses.

The global population is projected to grow for another 50-odd years. Then it will contract. What does that mean for our future?

Um, new tweet out from Conservative MP Jamil Jivani. The Conservative civil war is in full swing.

Here's some advice from the guy who has never had a job in the real world. Now about that 19-room taxpayer funded mansion you live in Pierre.... #evictthesquatter

masterful analysis here by the national post. "if things had been different, the outcome of those things would be different" cool thanks bro

Judges have every right &requirement to follow the Constitution and laws generated by politicians. Electing judges would result in political pandering just like what Ford is doing. #onpoli #Ford www.cp24.com/politics/que...

U.S. President Donald Trump says Prime Minister Mark Carney will visit the White House "within the next week or less" as the two countries chart a new way forward. #uspoli #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I'm sure by now you've seen the viral clip of Pierre Poilievre dismissively answering questions from a journalist and eating an apple. In light of recent election results, I reached out to the journalist in that clip to get his thoughts. pressprogress.ca/journalist-i...

Anyone who even suggests this is unfit to hold office in Canada.

The journalist in Poilievre’s viral "apple" video feels "a substantial degree of satisfaction that Pierre Poilievre lost." "Canadians saw through his three-word grade-school rhyming, and his toxicity and bullying nature which points more to a tearing down, not a unifying of our country."

You know what right wing populist leaders have in common? They want to undermine or exert control over our judicial system. Trump, Poilievre, Ford, Netanyahu, on and on. A democratic judicial system relies on a constitution and evidence. Populists not so much. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Judge Crawford, summing up his finding on due process: "If the Government detained Mr. Mahdawi as punishment for his speech, that purpose is not legitimate, regardless of any alleged First Amendment violation. Immigration detention cannot be motivated by a punitive purpose."

Something to think about as Canada re-orients its trading relationships and military alliances. Should we consider joining the EU at some later date if the EU is open to the idea? I think the idea has merit.

The Liberals need to imminently table a bill to require that you must be granted top security clearance to run for PM

Rather than polluting a landfill.......

I'd pay to see PP do a legitimate private sector job interview. Not much, but I'd pay.

Far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir calls for the death penalty for those he described as “terrorists” imprisoned in Israel. The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society says there are more than 9,900 political prisoners in Israeli jails. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/fm7xjb

⚡️Zelensky urged Trump to toughen stance on Putin during Vatican meeting, Axios says. President Zelensky reportedly pressed U.S. President Donald Trump to return to his original proposal of an unconditional ceasefire as the starting point for peace talks.

Donald Trump’s record of failure after 100 days is, at once, “astonishing and predictable,” David Remnick writes. “Trump has alienated Europe, Japan, Mexico, and Canada, further undermined NATO, and made even more plain his affection for Vladimir Putin.”

In the end, the United States did not have a strong enough constitution or democratic institutions to withstand authoritarianism. It relied, too much, on the good will and honour of its elected officials.

New Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney "allowed Canadians to rally around the Liberal Party again, to represent the kind of nationalism that people are feeling in this moment in response to the trade war that has been begun by Donald Trump.”

Sure, Trump is astoundingly stupid, but his cabinet competes with him daily for that title.

Breaking news: The U.S. economy shrank in the first three months of 2025, contracting by an annualized rate of 0.3 percent, a stark reversal after nearly three years of solid growth, as tariff-related uncertainty upended spending patterns and raised fears of an impending recession.

Seriously, this is an excellent idea. What if we could launch a referendum on eliminating coal mining to coincide with the referendum on separation she wants so badly? I think I know which one would pass.
