Made in Canada. I’m in my 60s, hard of hearing, and a centre-left liberal, resisting right-wing populism and fascism. Je peux lire et écrire en français. Vive le Canada! Elbows up! 📍 Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Don’t kid yourself into thinking that Doug Ford is some sort of Captain Canada. He’s a Trumper through and through.

When will the American people organize a general strike that will paralyze the country? Will Donald Trump declare martial law in response? There are so many questions.

The billionaire-controlled news media is complicit in the dismantling of democracy. The United States is more autocratic and authoritarian by the day. Canada is headed that way too unless we do something about it. Elbows up!

Donald Trump believes that disagreeing with him is a crime punishable by imprisonment. Let that sink in.

Trump wiped his ass with the American constitution. He can stop pretending that the United States is a democracy. It’s an autocracy.

He just said it. 100% unironically and unmistakably.

“We took the freedom of speech away.”

Ça n'arrivera jamais. Trump ne parle même pas anglais correctement.

Donald Trump knows sweet fuck all about Canada and Canadians. Does he really think “Canada will love us again”? Trump and his henchmen have turned most Canadians against the United States. The sense of betrayal is real.

One can only surmise what Prime Minister Carney is thinking about the demented orange bloat.

Canadian Resistance 🇨🇦 @cdnresistance.bsky.social · 1d

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents. Is the United States the land of the free and the home of the brave? No. Is he making America great again? No.

Stephen Miller said "plenary authority," which is a fancy way of saying "absolute power of the kind Hitler enjoyed," and then goes silent, probably because he jizzed his pants.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 1d

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Donald Trump: Canada will love us again.

Me: Not in your lifetime, you bloated orange turd.

Food for thought: If Pierre Poilievre won the election instead of Mark Carney, we would be on the road to American statehood—with Poilievre as the governor.

For all the Carney haters.

Chris Barber and Tamara Lich were sentenced to twelve months of house arrest followed by six months of curfew. Is this a slap on the wrist or what?

Being diplomatic is not ass-kissing. When the prime minister is dealing with an American president who’s an unhinged maniac, it’s advantageous to handle things with finesse.

So Pierre Poilievre thinks he knows better than a prime minister with a PhD in economics from Oxford who was the governor of both the Bank of Canada and Bank of England? Gimme a break.

The prime minister will try to hammer out a deal with the tariff-loving orange bloviator when they meet today.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber are to be sentenced today for their illegal activities with the Freedom Convoy. That Pierre Poilievre and some Conservative MPs support these lawless assholes speaks volumes.

Wow! Trump just threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to block court rulings against him.

Donald Trump is as racist as they come.

Trump considers cutting US refugee intake to 7,500, focusing on white South Africans, officials say

President Donald Trump is considering admitting far fewer refugee into the U.S. this year – as few as 7,500, and mostly white Afrikaners.

Men who wear face masks and zip-tie children’s hands are not the good guys. Fuck ICE.
