A picture is worth a thousand words. Democrats in the US- Stop assuming people will vote for you instead of the GOP and Trump. You MUST earn their vote. Get going.

Canada, to its shame, has not spoken up against the sanctions Trump placed on her simply because she is an esteemed judge on the International Criminal Court. This is outrageous. Someone needs to give an elbow nudge, at the very least, to Mark Carney.
also like, why is this in the irish times? why haven’t we seen comprehensive reports like this in canadian media?
it’s like she was sanctioned then they all moved on to the next trump story of the week like lemmings

It is to Canada's shame we have not spoken out or supported a Canadian judge being sanctioned by the US
Her life is frozen. She cannot use credit cards, travel, move money, or access email. This is not sustainable

Exactly what Putin said when he invaded Ukraine. Trump learned his Master's lessons well. Will Maduro be as strong and brave as was Zelensky? Problem is this is an unprovoked war of aggression by the US Trump admin, and there are few defenders of democracy who will rally to the cause of Venezuela

More windfall profit in Saskatchewan heading out of the province. Potash producer Nutrien just announced a Q3 profit of $464 Million. Besides the jobs, how much will be returned to Sask residents? Profits from our much-needed unique natural resource heads to Trump's America and our kids go hungry.

4 billion dollars to be cut for health spending in the 🇨🇦federal budget. Meanwhile, Carney proposes $81 billion for military spending. Is his goal to make us more American so we can become Trump's 51st State???? In Canada, health care should, and must, be more important than guns & bang-bangs.

And one of the most egregious extraction problems is Saskatchewan potash windfall profits going to the US. Shameful.
70% of the profit from pipelines & resource extraction on Canadian 🇨🇦 soil go to foreign billionaires. We have an immigration problem, just not the ones they are convincing the peasants of. #cdnpoli

@mark-carney.bsky.social Starving Gazans. Capturing and possibly torturing food flotilla organizers. Is there no depravity that's too great for Canada to excuse? We can't call for a Palestinian state and support Israeli cruelty. #elbowsup and show some Canadian compassion.

The Israeli interception of the Gaza-bound flotilla carrying baby food is immoral and obscene.

So now Trump announced that Canada wants to be part of his unrealistic and expensive Golden Dome defense system. Sorry, Donold, the only dome this Canadian wants in this independent country is the SkyDome (AKA Rogers Centre). #ElbowsUP and DomesDown.

Looking at the photo of Gavin Newsom helping to destroy an encampment of unhoused people in LA and remembering when he was an up-and-coming politician in SF. He hosted a collective social service event for them, and ostentatiously washed the feet of of unhoused man. He's become such a hypocrite.
When people tell you who they are, believe them!!
while smiling!
Gavin Newsom literally dressed up in his best Bad Boy™️ attire, invited the press, and smiled as he destroyed everything these constituents had in the world.
Gavin Newsom is not a bad candidate;
Gavin Newsom is truly, at his core, a bad and despicable human being.

We tried that in the 80's and 90's. Turns out that male dominance conditioning trumps everything. Gah....
If we want men to be less lonely, we should start by socializing them in boyhood to be part of a shared project of care. Give them dolls, toy kitchens, and tea sets. Ask them to help care for younger children. Expect them to clean up after themselves. Let them feel the work and value of care. 1/
When I see people complain about male loneliness, it is so painfully OBVIOUS to me that most of these lonely men are men who feel entitled to a woman who does that labor for them, who acts as their agent enmeshing them into community through unpaid pro-social labor on their behalf.

Oh Don-old- just go away already. This Canadian (and probably many others) is so tired of your incessant threats. So give us 35% tariffs now- but wait till your farmers find out how much our potash fertilizer will now cost them. TACO time coming up.

Whew! Canada and Carney survived the meeting with Trump at the White House. Not humiliated, like Zelenskyy (though close to it). So embarrassing, watching our Prime Minister biting his tongue as their President ranted on, fact-free and falsely. However, I'm still boycotting US products and travel.

I voted in the CANADIAN election. At a public school. Didn't think anything of it until I realized that would be impossible in an American school. Here we have no lockdowns, no armed guards, no frightened students. Just lots of engaged citizens doing their civic duty. Sorry, not sorry.🇨🇦👍🇨🇦

A friend just sent me a copy of a message Donold Trump posted on social media. He plans to end dual citizenship and deport all these so-called traitors to the country they came from, no exceptions. Is this the start of the end of the bromance he has with Elon Muskrat, a naturalized US citizen?

Way too many negative comments on social media. But occasionally some clever witticisms. Best one I've seen comes out of the US Signal war planning controversy. Referring to Defense Secty Pete Hegseth, who seems to have forgotten his abstinence pledge, he was renamed Pete Kegsbreath! 🍺🤡🍺

What's going on? I thought people elected Moe and company to govern the province, not to give away our energy to tariff-happy USA. Not to mention the bargain-basement potash they can only get from SK, which all USA farmers need, and foreign companies control. Grrrr.

Mark Carney may no be a life-long politician, but, watching his speech right now, he certainly has exactly what Canada needs right now. He is unafraid to say the uncomfortable truths about Trump out loud, and to outline a clear path forward for Canadians, and Canadian values. Well done PM Carney.

So Trump has paused his tariffs on Canada and Mexico for a month...so what. I am NOT pausing my boycott of American products. Elbows up Canada.
