nevermind notions a liberal world order or even realpolitik, the new world order is rooted in Corleonepolitik. Al Capone and John Gotti would be proud...

I have no doubt countless Venezuelans are celebrating Maduro's fall from power; and with good reason. This is all too understandable. The real question though rests in how Venezuelans feel about the Trump administration stating it will now run the country...

I’m confused? How can the US hold another country’s president accountable for breaking US law but NOT the US president for breaking US law?

A Venezuela run by the Trump administration will be any less corrupt than a Venezuela run by the Madura regime how exactly?

Stealing another country's oil tanker, actively sowing instability around the world, practicing extortion and terror, and keen on billionaire-led global domination. Sounds all too much like a Bond movie. Sadly, its not but SPECTRE is at the helm...

Imagine having such an extreme case of rectal cranial inversion as to entertain the idea that X has anything remotely to do with promoting and/or protecting freedom of expression...

Is "I was there for the first strike live and then moved on to my next meeting" the new "I experimented with marijuana a time or two but I didn't inhale"? 🤔

L'ACPPU solidaire avec tous les syndicats au Québec qui prendront les rues à Montréal lors de la manifestation "Dans la rue pour le Québec"! CAUT stands in solidarity with all unions in Quebec who will take to the streets in Montreal during the “Dans la rue pour le Québec” protest!

Good for the union. This Bill is super draconian and needs to be defeated.

Program cuts, layoffs & campus closures are making headlines across Canada. Proximate cause: last year’s federal government cap on int'l students. Ultimate cause: deliberate & chronic public underfunding for colleges and universities www.caut.ca/bulletin/not...

I find myself troubled by the replacing of the East Wing of the White House with the Epstein Ballroom, and I'm not even American!

WOW! Sloganeering Poilievre is polling behind in every demographic. “Rap the Crap,” or “Ditch the Bitch,” you might say.

Hey @uottawa.bsky.social tell all of Canada you're tone deaf to to the world around us without telling us you're tone deaf to the world around us... #DoBetter

I don’t care WHO you voted for. If you can’t admit these last couple months have been an absolute shitshow, you’re part of a cult.

Every time I hear Canadians who lean to the right on the political spectrum accuse people of being globalists I can't help but wonder how they reconcile that with the darling of the right, Stephen Harper, chairing the globalist International Democratic Union 🤔

PewPew's MapleMaga minions are really grasping at straws if the best they've got is to go after Carney's child. Colour me even more disgusted than usual with what the CPC has become...

So, with Felon-47's administration now openly defying court orders, is it still over-reacting to say the US is being led by an authoritarian regime? Asking for a friend...

I'm thinking that last night PewPew must have had the happiest and most peaceful sleep he's had in ages. JT gone and the carbon tax axed all in the same day!

Some food for thought as we move ever closer to a federal election here in Canada: Any candidate you can picture attending a Republican prayer breakfast is probably an exceedingly poor choice

Thou shalt fire Chuck Schumer.

Question for ChatGPT: Looking at the last 100 years of economic data, which federal political party in Canada can be empirically demonstrated to have been the most fiscally responsible. You must pick only one party 🧵

The massive export pivot Canada needs to wean off 🇺🇸 is legally IMPOSSIBLE without Indigenous consent to new roads, rail, ports, pipelines, etc. There is an extreme lack of policy thinking how to do this. That should be among your top priorities @mark-carney.bsky.social.

In the wake of the GOP's red wave a whole lot of people are having to change their portfolio pronouns to was/went
