What has to happen for Danielle Smith to be charged with sedition by the federal government?

@mark-carney.bsky.social
@charlieangus104.bsky.social
Danielle Smith is a traitor. She has been trashing the incredible "Alberta advantage" in education, health care, the rule of law. Now she is out to destroy our country.
Let's call this for what it is - sedition.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Canada has immense talent and resources. We are a democratic nation that believes in the rule of law. We must consider the price we will pay to ensure that our children live in a nation free from the intimidation of the United States.
It's time for Canada to become true, north, strong and free.

Totally agreed. This thread 👇 summarizes approach in several countries to preparing for crises of all sorts, and recent thinking about how Canada can become more resilient.
Mere months ago, the following words would have seemed wildly hyperbolic: Canada🇨🇦 must strengthen its defences vs. the US, fast. Our democracy + sovereignty is in serious jeopardy. We only have a few months to get going.
Luckily, we can learn from other small democracies, like 🇫🇮+🇸🇪+🇳🇴, with long… 1/x

Sweden said the new advice follows a worsening security situation, by which it means the war in Ukraine.

Russians have razed these Ukrainian cities to the ground. The only thing russians bring is death and destruction.

And in the cities they cannot reach, russians destroy infrastructure to freeze people to death.

We must help Ukraine survive this genocide. Stand with Ukraine.

This!
Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

New rule: If you're a Democrat and legally carrying a gun, that's grounds for death

Where is the NRA?

Where are the Second Amendment advocates?

The cowardice, deception, hypocrisy and silence of the Trump Admin and Republicans is deafening.

The Canadian prime minister even spoke of a “rupture” between the U.S. under Trump and its Western allies that would never be repaired.

ICE shot a mother in the face.
ICE kidnapped a 5 year-old boy.
ICE executed a man on the street.

It’s time to tear down this secret police force.

UEFA should boycott over Greenland.

CONMEBOL should boycott over Venezuela.

CAF should boycott over USAID cuts.

Everyone should boycott because of ICE.

No one should come to the U.S. under Trump.

I’m a huge soccer fan. I was so excited for the World Cup—for years.

But, there is no way to host a World Cup in the midst of consolidating fascism and threatening imperialist expansion.

Canada and Mexico can pick up the extra games. The U.S. can’t be part of it.

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months.

They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state.

The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

What psychos watch or attend the Superbowl when the country is literally on fire? Are you all crazy?????
President Donald Trump will not be attending Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif., he said in an interview with the New York Post.

“It’s just too far away,” he said.

Spoke to folks in Kharkiv and Kyiv - people are freezing to death while being bombed daily for hours. It’s a humanitarian crisis. Tweets of “how incredibly strong Ukrainians are” and “prayers” aren’t enough. They need help. Now.
