#Birdoftheday is the Antarctic Shag that I captured in Antarctica. They are #black with some nice colours in an environment that is very white.

Nope, nor does he care. Like 99% of the CONs he is attracted to the hate, division, racism, anti LGBTQ, anti immigrant rage farming that got Jeff elected in HelburDUH. Ron is the typical Con.

Wonder if Ron knows PP has never had a real job

Harper inherited a $13.7 Billion surplus, which he quickly blew through. Then ran a decade of deficits. He then had a fake "balanced" budget ahead of the 2015 elxn by selling off GM stock at a $3.5B loss, taking $2B from the contingency fund, and underfunding Veterans Affairs. #cdnpoli 👇

There will be blow back on the whole world because the Nazi king didn't get his golden prize. I am not wrong. His entire regime is built on REVENGE, racism and hate of course. Bibi will be given the green light to destroy Gaza, he will keep killing innocent fishermen. The orange toddler is insane.

Have an American walking into my posts saying we pay high taxes, and get nothing out of it, let me clarify for people who don't know, our taxes, pay for Universal Health Care, Maternity Leave, Dentalcare, & many other social programs, as well, our taxes are now pretty close to the US /1

1st, 🖕
2nd, no, there is not ‘investment’. Investors, tourists, humans are avoiding the US like the plague you are.
3rd, what an embarassment America is. It’s like they found the craziest moron on the planet, coated them with brown spray paint, put a mic in front of them & said have at ‘er.

FYI Canadian owners of Florida property. Time sell and get out of the US

PEIPolitical 🇨🇦 @peipolitical.bsky.social · 18d

DeSantis says rich snowbirds and AirBnB owners can foot the property tax bill and real Floridians should be exempt!
“You have snowbirds. You've got wealthy people that stay here three months of the year.
I'd rather Floridians pay less and THEY pay the tax!” #cdnpoli

Appears the asshole orange orc is going to trash the NEXUS program. Fortunately no one with half a brain would would travel to the US, but good job murica. Just FYI, to get NEXUS you need a RCMP clearance, finger prints, retinal scan, background check.....but oh ya, BAD CANADIANS. #FuckYouUSA

Canada will never regret standing up for America at 9/11, landing all their jets, protecting all their citizens. Yet now we find ourselves an enemy of the USA. We are too woke, too kind, too inclusive, too caring. Yes, we are, it's why we helped you. Yes you have turned on us, we see you. #ElbowsUp🇨🇦

Wow, President Sheinbaum is way nicer and complimentary to the Canadians what a lovely thing to say..compared to what the US Ambassador to Canada said to the Canadians this week. 🤬

Sheinbaum: I didn’t say this in the meeting, Prime Minister Carney, but I’m saying it right now. We celebrate the constant growth of Canadian tourism in Mexico. We truly celebrate it because we have an increasingly growing number of families and visitors choosing Mexico as their tourist destination.

#WildLifeWednesday on location from Australia 🇦🇺. Found a group of kangaroos hanging out in a field across from our hotel in Agnes Water. This one was carrying a Joey in her pouch.
