Last night NDP voters saved Canada from the surging hard right, but had to sacrifice our own party in the process.
Today the battle begins for a system where we don't have to do that any more.
We badly need a party that can save Canada from the oligarchs who brought us all to the brink.

The CBC/CTV want to call PM Carney’s integrity into question, but let’s call their journalistic integrity into question. If they want to bring integrity into the debate then Pierre’s should be questioned as much as the PM’s.

Further showing how sloppy and rushed all of this is, @josepagliery.bsky.social appears to have caught a major error in the government's notice that it claims it will provide people who are to be deported under the Alien Enemies Act; it cites a totally irrelevant law (and has typos in it).

Putting the Arctic Ocean closer to the center, this brings the Greenland Canada gambit into focus. It is a grab for power, money, water, and resources, also giving the US complete control over the Northwest Passage. Fentanyl and the border are a smokescreen for a much bigger project: theft.

Negotiating with Trump is like playing checkers with a drunk badger.
Trump just now: "We're in the process of ordering 48 icebreakers. And Canada wants to know if they can use them. I said: 'Well, you've got to pay for them.'[...]Canada wants to be part of the deal. I say: 'You've got to get your own icebreakers.'"
