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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
