And it's hysterical all this "the west" separation talk, when it's the bloody "west" coast you're saying is thwarting your aspirations. #cdnpoli

All this Danielle Smith saber rattling about the federation being on the line, give me a practical break. I can't think of less viable country than Alberta, good fucking luck. We're all stuck together, so let's have conversations without this bullshit about a ruinous separation. #cdnpoli

Good article on the real reason we cant find private investment for our "oil". It isn't Liberals. #cdnpoli macleans.ca/economy/why-...

Why Canada’s Oil Sands Aren’t Coming Back - Macleans.ca

I used to be an oil executive. Here’s how market forces, not politics, killed the oil boom—and why new pipelines won't save the country.

Ya, for sure, this is the guy who is better equipped to deal with Trump, he could deliver a better deal. All he cares about his personal political ambitions, he will undermine if it meets his end, but he's a JOKE lightweight that isn't a serious person. A smallish ambulance chaser. #cdnpoli

Canada has 10% of the auto worker in NA. We have 10% of the population in NA. Why can't we just make our own cars here? Let them "close" plants and we can take them over and build Canadian cars. Why doesn't this math work?? I don't get it as an option, why can't Canada build cars? #cdnpolo

It's the smart thing to do, don't be so conveniently naive. Chess not checkers, be better.

Steve Valeriote @stevev68.bsky.social · 5d

Chess over checkers. You engage Trump at every opportunity,stroke his ego and gently push your agenda. Meanwhile, you go about moving our reliance away from America,quietly, expeditiously. There is no "winning" with Trump,simpletons operate within this lens. Carney is playing it perfectly. #cdnpoli

Today in irony we wait for "man who's never passed a piece of legislation in over 20 years as an MP" pontificate about the lack of "results" from today's meeting between Carney and the Orange man child. Such is the state of Canadian politics.... #cdnpoli

Given that half of CPC supporters have a positive view of Trump, I'm sure they're over the moon with his effusive praise of Mark Carney today. Must be reassuring that their guy supports Carney. I'm sure the patriots will see the clip on Fox News tonight... #cdnpoli

Listening to Sheer on CBC, who couldn't even get his insurance broker license, criticize a world recognized economist, was mind numbing. As Teneycke said, he's still an MP because "he's unhirable" in the private sector.

Watching the CPC undermine our gov't in the name of political self interest, during a national generational crisis, is beyond despicable. Trump would walk all over PP, he's a dangerous madman. Instead of circling the wagons, we're ankle biting. Fuck you CPC and your hypocritic "patriots" #cdnpoli

Imagine never having a real world job and thinking you can undermine a former PM (another job he's never had, nor will) with a crack about being a teacher. Poilievre is a fucking loser, he's lived in a subsidized bubble, as Teneycke said, he stays in politics because he's "unhirable". #cdnpoli

I actually did write CBC, airing a foreign fascism rally live is absolutely inexcusable and really poor judgement. And don't hide behind the "newsworthy" event crap, you're literally giving voice to far right ideology. Let America be America, my tax dollars deserve something BETTER. #cdnpoli

HI CANADIANS

ARE YOU ANGRY ABOUT CHARLIE KIRK’S FURNERAL ON CBC? Yeah, me too.

The guy who’s helmed CBC during this pivot to the right is [email protected].

Complain to the CRTC, the government division responsible for overseeing the CRTC about what was ostensibly KKK rally: www.crtc.gc.ca

To clarify, the CBC does not participate in the CBSC. Only Canadian private broadcasters are eligible to participate in the CBSC and CBC is a public broadcaster (i.e. it receives funding from the government).

Prime Minister Mark Carney declared that Canada officially recognizes the state of Palestine, marking a major shift in its foreign policy.

Canada recognizes Palestinian statehood

Britain and Australia did so as well.

If it's the "leftists" inciting violence and radicalism, why does every empirical metric show it's the right wing that commits the most violence, is the most intolerant and prone to misinformation and hateful rhetoric? Just the facts, opinions aren't required, STONE COLD NUMBERS.
