JD Vance on #Canada: "They just don't have the cards. There is no way that Canada can win a trade war with the United States."
Reminder Pierre #Poilievre has a direct connection to VP Vance through 🇨🇦MP Jivani, who is Vance's best friend. Jivani calls Vance his "brother by another mother." They attended university together & Jivani was Vance's groomsman at his wedding.

THE LIES PIERRE POILIEVRE TELLS...
So, I guess Stephen Harper kept Pierre Poilievre from speaking freely when he had a security clearance for a decade as a Harper government™ cabinet minister?
REMEMBER: Pierre Poilievre has been the Leader of the Official Opposition for 2.5 years. In those 2.5 years, Pierre Poilievre has lived in taxpayer-subsidized housing, i.e. Stornoway, plus a chauffeur, a chef, an entertainment budget, etc.—all subsidized by the taxpayer—but refuses to get his security clearance as the Leader of the Official Opposition.
CANADIANS NEED TO START ASKING WHY PIERRE POILIEVRE WANTS ALL THE PERKS/ENTITLEMENTS OF THE JOB, BUT NOT DO THE WORK! #cdnpoli #polcan #elxn45
Pierre Poilievre spent all his time as the Leader of the Official Opposition WITHOUT A SECURITY CLEARANCE.
Why? What was he afraid of? He had a proper security clearance when he served in Stephen Harper's cabinet for 10+ years.
I wonder what changed... or what he could be hiding. #cdnpoli #polcan #elxn45
Also, had Carney moved forward with Parliament resuming, I can guess that the Con-jobs and other would have continued with the "unelected prime minister" rhetoric until they put forth their motion of non-confidence.
To me dropping the writ right now seems like the logical succession step.
As a reminder an election was due in October anyway. So it's just under six month ahead.
All the opposition parties that are saying that the election is not rightly timed or something are just butt hurt because they wanted to bring the Government down.
Listen. You would have done it with the LPC not having a leader. And with the prorogation, you have been prevented to, but would have done it in the coming weeks.
Spring, summer or fall, it doesn't matter.
"Canada First" is such a xenophobic dog whistle.
Remember, as we will be going to the polls, that the Conservatives are not here for you.
Can't spell conservative without the word "con".
And so, here we are #canada #cdnpoli
A version of this @ #globeandmail
“What’s the probability of this kind of scenario? Ten per cent, 5 per cent, or 1 per cent? No one can say for sure. But it’s certainly not zero. And given the existential cost to Canada, we’d be stupid not to take it seriously. In game-theory terms, we need to pursue a strategy of “minimax regret” – to minimize, as best we can, the possibility of worst-case outcomes.”

Fascism defined - Tommy Douglas
"Let me remind you what fascism is. It need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt - it may even wear a dress shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege."

This is the stuff of a totalitarian nightmare. It's not something you would imagine in a democratic nation. But this is the reality of life in Trump's America.
And this is why I went to Canada's Parliament to issue a travel warning to Canadian citizens: avoid all unnecessary travel to the USA. #cdnpoli
MY WARNING TO CANADIANS: DO NOT TRAVEL TO TRUMP LAND
A Chilling New Reality at the BorderCharlie Angus / The Resistance
Conservatives: "Donate to us so we can verb the noun!"
NDP: "Donate to us so we can stop the Conservatives from verbing the noun! And also Mark Carney sucks!"
Liberals: *crickets*
Those who know me probably won't need to guess much, based on this. But for anyone who wants to hazard a guess, which of these three am I actively a member of? #CDNpoli
"I deal with every country, indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada," Trump said.
He continued: "Canada was meant to be the 51st state because we subsidize Canada by $200 billion a year."
Do not tell Canadians that he's "just kidding". Or that the threats are not real.
#cdnpoli You might be seeing some articles/screenshots floating around from True North and Juno News. It's like the Canadian Breitbart. Highly recommend avoiding.
Here it is in their own words: "Juno News is a new media company founded in 2025 by Candice Malcolm and Keean Bexte, and built upon the core Canadian principle of free speech and press freedom. These values were once the foundation of newsrooms across Canada, that is, until Justin Trudeau bribed every member of the legacy media with bailout money to help secure his reign as Prime Minister."

If you have impostor syndrome, look at the cabinet appointements: Guilbeault is back at Heritage.
And Champagne as Finance Minister, given how good he was at Industry.... (believing that regulatory capture monopoly foster competition)

Wind Turbine Syndrome Was Bullshit the Whole Time
Turns out the sound of windmills doesn't actually drive you insane—who would've guessed wind turbine syndrome was fake?Luis Prada (VICE)
I haven't fact checked that, so I'm assuming it's bullshit (and that our own tariffs will stay on as Trudeau said he didn't care about half measures)
"Trump’s tariffs will still apply to about 50% of Mexican imports and more than 60% Canadian goods.
The president’s exemptions apply only to goods that are compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the deal negotiated during Trump’s first term that governs trade in North America.
White House official told CNBC that only about 50% of Mexican imports and 38% of Canadian imports are USMCA compliant."
I know at least 3 dual citizens who have filled out the necessary form[s], paid the fee, and signed the oath of renunciation SINCE NOVEMBER.
Lawyers in Canada involved in US citizenship renunciation say inquiries have spiked sharply since the election of US President Donald Trump last November...
So... what's happening in the Atlantic? Two surprise resignations by premiers in one week.
PEI last week, NL this week 😬
"A top White House official has proposed expelling Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing network as Donald Trump increases pressure on the country he talks about turning into the 51st US state."
