I'm really agreeing with UNIFOR President, Lana Payne: the best deal for #Canada might be no deal at all. Better no deal, than a bunch of small bad deals. IMO Canada needs to buy out minimum 16 #F-35 and the rest from Saab, send a message. Pull away from the US faster

It's hard to show evidence of absence, but summaries from ChatGPT (or other LLM chatbots) aren't it. This happened to not be wrong, but you really can't count on that - generative AI is less credible than just searching yourself and summarizing what you found.

I’m making a stand against Quebec’s vaccine policy. I booked a flu and Covid vaccine later this month as an eligible person and I’m going to make a scene if I’m charged for either.

It’s a far cry from long-established border patrols collaborating, to allowing what amounts to the Proud Boys (a terrorist organization in Canada) being part of the mix.

Not reacting to increasing fascism in the US (and Germany, once) was the reason that fascism was able to take over. Canada, take the lesson.

This is one of the forms annexation can take. Not an invasion, but slow integration and constant acquiescence from our own government that is desperate to "get a deal".

Write your MPs to demand they deny any US requests that arise from this bill. If they don't know we care, they won't care either.

There's this weird idea that boys are being radicalized to be conservatives. No. The boys were raised by conservative parents who hate girls, and who taught their sons to hate girls and women for daring to be something other than property. People who aren't already bigots cannot be radicalized.

Right wing media has nothing to do with whites. It's a man problem. And if these parents cared, they would have already taught their children how to view girls and women as whole autonomous human beings. But because they didn't, and their sons already hate us, they are very easy to "manipulate"

Both of them are wrong; the legislative and judicial branches are separate for very good reason.

Lutnick, sources said, also suggested the White House has taken the position of “America first, Canada second” and "there’s nothing Canada can do about it".

The hell there isn't. Lutnick and his gang of MAGA thugs are doing a great job of ensuring there is *zero* goodwill from Canadians.

Screaming this from the rooftops again. If you don’t know about the IDU, it’s time to learn. It’s a piece of the puzzle that’s barely mentioned, least of all in the mostly-US owned media we consume in #Canada. Research and critical thinking is urgent right now.
