A similar ad campaign was run by the Trudeau govt 2017-18 as Cusma was being negotiated during Trump term one. It was effective.

Truly, this is money well spent. We need to speak right to Americans who need to understand the cost of following Donald Trump's reckless plans for the US economy. Coming from Doug Ford makes it hit especially hard. #CDNpoli #ElbowsUp www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Carney's CV + assurance he would be elbows up with Trump held off the post covid mood for "change". But it is still out there. Lots of frustration with high prices.

While the Trump peace plan slightly opens the door to Palestinian statehood — it speaks of creating conditions “for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood” — both Israel and Hamas appear intent on slamming that door shut. wapo.st/3W5yhAx

When Hollywood Does Canada: The Devil's Brigade
A fun movie that most historians and veterans feel isn't historically accurate.
The worst thing it did was completely ignoring the most-decorated member of the Devil's Brigade, Tommy Prince.

America is imperfect, but foreign leaders did not use to assume that the President's family was a key means of leveraging their shared interest in corruption.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Continuing or not continuing the F-35 purchase will be THE test whether Carney's Canada is elbows up with Trump or placidly sucking up.

Thanksgiving is a special holiday. Not religious based. It is a harvest festival really when we all can pause to give thanks for all we've been given.

Today the trails were full of families from many diverse backgrounds saying Happy Thanksgiving to each other and sharing the peaceful beauty of our true North strong and free. Don’t believe the MAGA lies that Canada isn’t a wonderful united country. We are 🇨🇦

A thing that gets lost in the “WAS IT GOOD TO LEAVE TWITTER FOR BLUESKY?!?” debate is that, when talking just strictly about mechanics, Bluesky is a better platform.

Like, setting the ideological siloing conversation aside, it’s just built more like old Twitter.

Which was…much better.

Dale,

The Liberals are playing a DANGEROUS game with our country! They’re pushing the Supreme Court to SLASH the Notwithstanding Clause.

THIS IS THE GLUE THAT HOLDS OUR CONSTITUTION TOGETHER.

We’re really worried, Dale. This could spark a crisis and tear our nation apart!

Even the experts are warning this is a “SHOCKING” move that could lead to a full-blown CONSTITUTIONAL MELTDOWN!

Tell Us Where You Stand!
Should the Radicals mess with our Constitution?
No way! Protect Provincial Rights!
Yes, Let Ottawa Rule
