The US is randomly bombing civilian vessels in international waters, which is a war crime, and carrying out extrajudicial assassinations, which is murder.

It could easily be Canadian ships next. Don't fool yourselves.

I appreciate the tactics that some protesters are deploying by wearing giant animal costumes or otherwise silly outfits. The fash cannot abide mockery. Violence, they can handle. They want violence. But laughter? People showing up to mock and deride their ridiculous jackboot cosplay? Very effective.

Prediction: They will try and criminalize and outlaw the DSA as a warm-up round for criminalizing and outlawing the entire Democratic Party, pre-midterms.

Oh he is just going to be *insufferable* after this, won't he.

donald trump is a fascistic leader who has surrounded himself with people who are explicitely pro-fascistic that want to end democracy as we know it and punish anyone who dissents. pretending otherwise leads me to believe you agree with them doing this

Marco Rubio is going to hell.

It's a smear because the PM doesn't direct Canadian private investment, and implying that he is trying to cut Trump a $1 Trillion bribe is BS. We can find it gross all we want, but lots of Canadians hold US investments.

It's carrot and stick. If we get along we invest more, if not we invest less.

I'm specifically talking about the 1 trillion investment thing. Folks are free to have their issues with the PMs tactics, but the head of the NDP shouldn't be repeating a baseless conservative smear.

Bring back Papal Bulls. Excommunication. Speeches where the Pope declares that Christofascism is heresy and apostasy, and anyone working for ICE is a demon in human form.

It must be really frustrating to be trying to work on important stuff while also dealing with the backseat driving and general histrionics of the Conservatives. You have my sympathy.

This is the kind of mudslinging that we expect from the Conservatives, but it's unbefitting of the temporary leader of the NDP.

The 1 Trillion thing was just talking about Canadian private investment, not some bribe. Don't spread right-wing disinformation.

ICE is fucking *evil*, and everyone who pretends they aren't is part of the problem.

Also, it’s such a sick joke that ICE is here to keep us safe. This was a video of a perfectly safe day in the city - couldn’t feel safer - until a bunch of armed thugs run out of nowhere to start a fight and kidnap random pedestrians, which is one of the most terrifying things I can imagine

Christofascism is blasphemy, and apostacy. If Christ were alive today, he'd be standing with the protesters, assuming that ICE hadn't locked him up already.

The fact that any person claiming to be a Christian can support the MAGA reign of terror is a testament to the power of False Prophets.

Non-market housing is to housing as public healthcare is to healthcare.

It doesn't solve everything, but it provides a firm foundation. It enables people to survive without being squeezed for every cent by greedy middle-men. Housing, like healthcare, is a basic need, and should be treated as such.

You get what you vote for.

If the Charter of Rights and Freedoms has a "lmao, nope!" clause, then we don't have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Just a charter of suggestions.

It's good for there to be limits on the notwithstanding clause, especially since Premiers use it so recklessly to trample on the rights of Canadians.

People of all faiths need to come together to defy the despicable inhuman evil of ICE and the Trump regime. Kudos to the Pope for pulling his end.

This is something that I really hope PM @mark-carney.bsky.social and @dleblancnb.bsky.social keep front of mind during the US trade negotiations.

Trump can not be trusted to honour his own deals. If he could, we wouldn't be in this position. Any agreement we sign with the US is temporary, at best.

Basically, whenever it seems like a politician might win who wants to raise taxes on the super rich, corporate-owned media activates like white blood cells to try and stop them.

Whether it's Zohran in NYC, or Zack in the UK, a solid way of telling when a political candidate has the juice is when the right-wing tabloids start tripping over themselves to smear them as a some kind of authoritarian communist.

As a Canadian, I love the Americans who are putting themselves at risk to protect their neighbours from ICE. I love the Americans working tirelessly to hold this regime accountable. I love the Americans who are struggling to get by, but don't succumb to hate or delusion.

Trump though? Fuck Trump.

It's gonna be a stat holiday in Canada whenever you kick the bucket, but sure, go off bud.

It is such a massive indignity for the PM to have to sit through all this gibberish.
