If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

Trade talks were going nowhere, you could tell by Carney’s adress.

Trump can’t verbally lash out at him so he used the ad as his excuse.

Poilievre attempted to spin the PM's words but failed. Carney responded with this:
"We promised to cut the carbon tax. It's been cut; you weren't here." #cdnpoli

‼️The strike on the kindergarten on Kharkiv (48 kids aged 1,5 to 5 years) was done by the country that chairs the UN Security Council this month (Russia).

We are living in an absurd world.

His hissy fits against us, just cements our stance on boycotting your country. And we shall do whatever we can to ensure he fails in all he says and does against us. And so far, its working. Win for Canada, big loss for the U.S.

I think you hit that proverbial nail—> “This is war time and we need a united front in order to win.” This moment in time calls for all Canadians to pull together to control of our future. I’m in…🇨🇦

Glen 🇨🇦 part owner of Canada* @honestcanadian.bsky.social · 2d

succeed on that path.
The details will be provided in the budget & as each aspect of the budget is implemented.
This is war time and we need a united front in order to win.
We can raise issues responsibly without breaking that front.
Think of everyone, not just individuals or party.
Team Canada!

$70 billion in cleanup estimates could fund the entire 2025-26 education budget 7 times over.

“Public money should be funding our public services like heath care, education, our infrastructure, not lining the pockets of executives.”

New in PN: Trump shits on us. Why doesn’t the media care?

"Millions exercised their rights & Trump’s response was burying them in virtual feces. At best it's juvenile; at worst an ugly attack on the democratic spirit. Either way, it’s very offensive. You’d think journos would want to talk about it"

Trump shits on America. Why doesn’t the media care?

For many news orgs, Trump’s fascist coalition is uniquely legitimate.

I went to Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam. I have a print of it hanging on my wall. I read her story when I was 8 years old, and it was my dream to go there. I wept.

Today, I weep for the children in America.
