If you look at the engagement metrics on the City of London's posts on X/Twitter, they're generally low. The replies are outright nasty and dangerous. London City Council already received a recommendation from its community advisory committee to divest from using X. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Is there anyone on here in the #Medsky community that could help out @zteirstein.bsky.social ?

For the umpteenth time: No way should our allies share their intelligence with us. No fucking way. Trump can’t be trusted with our allies’ intelligence. He’s not on their side. He’s on Putin’s side. www.mediaite.com/tv/cia-direc...

One more Conservative leaning towards the US rather than showing solidarity with Canada … a reminder that 44% of Poilievre’s base is pro-Trump/51st state. So Poilievre is not MAGA he says. Big deal - his party IS MAGA and should not get in power or it will be the end of our country. #ABC #CDNpoli

Trump Outlines Bold Vision For Golden Age Of China

Number of active-duty troops authorized for border mission is now about 9K, with some arriving in coming days, defense officials say. That includes 3K from a Stryker brigade combat team and aviation battalion approved by SECDEF last week. WaPo scooped that news Saturday.

The boycott is strong and getting stronger every day.

After much consideration, I'm stepping away from Twitter (or “X”), now a space that amplifies misinformation, hate speech & corporate and Trump's interests over real conversations & accountability. I'm sticking with Facebook, Instagram and BlueSky plus face-to-face engagement in our communities!

Is your NGO forced to sign a statement agreeing to transphobia, opposing climate justice, or anything like that in order to get US funding? You can send me a msg on Signal at @ ayoub.02

Basic indicator of the viability of a permanent human presence on the Moon/Mars: do a quick survey of your inter-regional travel infrastructure. Not just its existence - its upkeep and quality. Would you want the same people charged to build & maintain *that* to be ensuring your oxygen?

As a Classical Studies major I deem this very literary. Catullus would be proud.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

And don’t forget what Harper continues doing as chair of the Int’l Democracy Union (IDU), global club for crypto-fascist political parties: Harper has been happy to support such champions of democracy as Orban + Modi, and his IDU deputy chair was Mike Roman (Trumpist charged re 2020 US election).

Also, don't forget that Harper and the IDU supported Trump and the GOP heading into the last US election. He cares not one damn bit about Canada. It's all about his oligarch pals.

This isn’t #France ‘s first rodeo going against the US. It’s funny. We always said that it would take an alien invasion to get the world to work together. Looks like the aliens were from here. Alien to common decency, and basic humanity. Human-looking monsters.

PP an MP under Harper when they cheated in 3 elections in a row. In-Out scandal-2006, violation of campaign finance laws-2008, Robo-Call scandal-2011. Harper put PP in charge of Democratic Reform to overhaul the Elections Act. Bill C-23 was so bad it was referred to as the Unfair Elections Act.

At a certain point media outlets are exposing listeners to so many lies that are so dangerous and insidious that it is morally irresponsible to air this content

Let’s hope it doesn’t last that long. #ElbowsUp #cdnpoli #cdnecon

I am in no way even up on legalese and procedure, but I did find it odd that the original judge who granted the injunction used the words "not a nice guy" when referring to Pike. Whether he is or not, isn't that immaterial?

Awesome!!

I did not have this on my Bingo card.🥚 With eggs getting more and more expensive in the US, US border agents are 'scrambling' to stop egg smuggling from Canada and Mexico. #EggSmuggling U.S. border egg seizures up nearly 40% as prices soar due to avian flu montreal.citynews.ca/2025/02/27/u...

Absolutely. And Canadian publishers have to stop pushing Canadian authors to set their books in the States because of the larger American market. Those days are over.

I have said this before ... the whole point of Trump's tariffs is to *deliberately* create American bankruptcies and foreclosures, so that his billionaire techbros can swoop in and snap up those assets for next to nothing. Financial hardship for Americans is not an accident -- it is the *goal*.

The Conservative “Canada is broken” rhetoric is dangerous. It weakens our country, emboldens Trump, and signals that Poilievre will roll over to him. Canada is not broken—but this reckless narrative threatens our unity and sovereignty. I am on #TeamCanada 🇨🇦 Port Moody - Coquitlam

After years of delays, people with disabilities will finally see some relief with the Canada Disability Benefit—but $200 a month is nowhere near enough. The Liberals stalled, and the Conservatives would cut support entirely. New Democrats fought for this benefit, and we’ll keep fighting! #Canada

And both Smith and PP were on a podcast with Jordon Peterson this week praising Trump.

It’s a vulnerable business that depends on one customer. It’s time to do what we should have decades ago: 1. Build more in Canada 2. Add more value to our raw exports 3. Diversify our trade. These will take time but better position Canada for growth. 🇨🇦✊✊🏽✊🏾🇨🇦

We need each other. It is our love and our dedication to upholding human rights that keeps community at the centre! youtube.com/shorts/WFpot...

This morning, Canadians have woken up to an unprecedented Trade War waged on us by a hostile President. In this moment, we must be united. To protect Canadian workers and jobs, New Democrats are calling for an emergency recall of Parliament.
