The father of my boyfriend gave us complimentary passes on my 19th birthday. Surely he didn't know we'd be watching strippers! I still remember the routine with the bathtub

“Some of the *retaliatory* tariffs are a huge irritant to the U.S.” He’s literally saying the U.S. is irritated by Canada punching back and protecting itself from the instigating American punches.
What has Canada done to deserve such a piece of crap, gaslighting U.S. ambassador? #cdnpoli

🇨🇦 Canada isn’t chasing U.S. approval—we’re charting our own course.
Inclusion over division.
Science over spin.
Diplomacy over dominance.
We’re not louder—we’re wiser.
And the world is watching.

"I haven't followed Canadian politics closely, but when a politician talks of limiting free press, activities at universities & defying the courts, it's the canary in a coal mine for autocracy"

This is a serious warning: “We are a functioning democracy…there's limits…to how much a person who aspires to be a prime minister should curtail media."

Limiting who asks questions, the # of questions and access to candidates/supporters is antidemocratic.

Unlike the other parties, the Conservatives are limiting who asks questions from the press and even access to supporters and candidates.
