This year marks 150 years of the Supreme Court of Canada helping to shape this country, standing in ardent defence of Canadian democracy and in defence of our freedoms.
May its work continue so that 150 years from now, Canada remains the true North, strong, and free. #cdnpoli

When you gather the top U.S. military commanders and tell them Canada should be the 51st state, despite annexation being against international law, it’s not ‘floating’ an idea: it’s a threat.

In the face of heavy blowback from opposition parties and civil liberties groups, the Carney government is expected to table new legislation soon that will tweak its massive “Strong Borders Act.”

Carney government expected to replace controversial border bill

An analysis by the Justice Department concluded the original version of the bill could have affected several rights protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Better Pensions BC 🇨🇦🇺🇦 - now with 50% more anti-fascism! @betterpensionsbc.bsky.social · Sep 5

A quick search shows that Engler himself is a huge spreader of pro-Russian disinfo + anti-Ukraine lies, in writings, videos, and an interview on fascist state organ RT. To be so utterly wrong about one of the most morally clear wars of our time is entirely disqualifying for this useful idiot. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

NDP leadership hopeful Yves Engler went on JACKSON HINKLE's podcast 🤮

Hinkle is a huge spreader of disinformation, particularly pro-Russia disinformation, has called the LGBTQ movement “pedophile ridden,” and calls himself a “MAGA communist.”

This is...a choice.

All Carney is doing is giving Trump countless sound bites to use to his advantage. Carney is not playing 5-D chess; he is being a useful idiot.

“This is where we are. Donald Trump, with the help of his sycophants, is waging war against our own country. And he’s doing it for no good reason besides his hunger for power and his sadistic, sociopathic need to seek vengeance against his perceived enemies.”

Stephen Miller and Donald Trump Want War

They are ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to keep their states safe and ignoring the on-the-ground facts to justify their dangerous invasions

“Poilievre’s disdain for critical journalists and the institution of journalism is no surprise, given that he campaigned for far-right troll Ezra Levant, the guy who tried to hijack a CBC broadcast and started shit-fits with other journalists during the English leaders’ debate.” @taylornoakes.com
