Canada has its own leader, and it’s not #DanielleSmith. Undermining Canada’s solidarity, leadership, and its citizens is unwelcome. Focus on provincial matters—you’re barely managing those. Don’t neglect the needs of #Alberta citizens. We need more doctors, not private healthcare.

Warships massing in the Caribbean. Could this be a prelude to striking Venezuela—crippling oil output or seizing control? Some speculate it’s more than geopolitics: a manufactured crisis to invoke emergency powers and delay the U.S. election. #Venezuela #Oil #WarPowers #Election2025

Warships gathering in the Caribbean. Is this a show of force—or the prelude to a strike on Venezuela’s oil infrastructure? Whether to cripple production or seize control, the implications are global. #Geopolitics #Oil #CaribbeanTensions

Establishing a tri-lateral summit with #Ukraine should have been an opportunity to demonstrate strength and unity. Instead, it became a showcase of incompetence.

The #AnchorageSummit was a glaring example of #Trump’s failure to lead on the global stage. Despite the low expectations, he still managed to underdeliver—offering no progress and reinforcing his reputation as a #Putin proxy rather than a credible statesman #uspoli #cndpoli #EU #GOP #MAGA continued
Where I live, over 115,000 people are at risk of becoming homeless. Instead of grandstanding, how about fixing your failed attempt to embezzle billions from the #US #economy? Stop wasting time and start taking responsibility.

The #US is officially a police state. #trump has taken over local police in #D.C. The National Guard has been called.

This is exactly why many #MAGA supporters voted for #Trump — to see $200 million of America's money spent like this. Thank goodness for the taxpayers; without them, this project wouldn’t have been possible. #uspoli

Sorry for the comment, but what a fucking homo.....
Lol! But, these fools are trying. I wish they would take the blinders off. The s$#t I hear come out of people's mouths. How naive these folks are.
It looks like some of #Alberta have bought into the idea. Wishing you the best! If you're eager to join the #U.S., just remember—your healthcare and social benefits (eg. E.I., pension) until that hefty bill for surgical costs and other expenses lands in your mailbox. #Abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc, #yeg

I agree. Distraction politics. Further, Treaty Land won't allow for it. First Nations citizens are already at odds with Smith
#Alberta, regardless of citizens' feelings about referendums or voting, will have no choice but to show up or risk being overlooked The threshold to move forward with a referendum has now dropped from 20% of the population to just 10%, a shift reminiscent of American gerrymandering

To all those fine people on both sides. The question of #tariff . Here is the everyday person. Traveling on an everyday route to their everyday routine. Does anyone know what tariffs are? #Maga you have rights but now you have lost them along with your wallet. #uspoli #world #cdnpoli
The secret behind who ultimately pays tariffs often isn't as straightforward as it may seem.

#uspoli #cdnpoli gotta love #america and her choices. You got yo self a real strongman. Guy looks like his smoke some ganja.
Trump posted on his social media: “THE OPERATION IS OVER! THE PATIENT LIVED, AND IS HEALING. THE PROGNOSIS IS THAT THE PATIENT WILL BE FAR STRONGER, BIGGER, BETTER, AND MORE RESILIENT THAN EVER BEFORE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

Can you believe we have a president that posts shit like this?
