@jonfavs.bsky.social likes to mention on the pod how this platform is already dead when he and his cohort could just take the extra 5 seconds to post tweets here too and help beat Elon’s twitter

They used to joke about being twitter addicts and now those jokes just seem sad

Angus: Our PM went to Washington to meet with Trump—in what looked like a cheesy bordello decked out in gold lamé. When Trump was asked about Canada giving up its sovereignty, he said, “Never say never.”

Every Canadian knew exactly what that meant. For a sexual predator, no means no means nothing.

Carney: Canada must be looking elsewhere to expand our trade, to build our economy, and to protect our sovereignty. Canada is ready to take a leadership role in building a coalition of likeminded countries who share our values… If the US no longer wants to lead, Canada will

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney:

"If the United States no longer wants to lead, Canada will."

This is what real leadership looks like.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

President Trump’s latest tariffs are an attack on Canadian workers, families, and businesses. My government will ensure our response has maximum impact in the US and minimal impact here in Canada, while supporting the workers impacted. (1/2)

JD Vance says Canada should spare him our "sob story" about being good allies.
We sent so many young Canadians into Afghanistan to help the United States in THEIR war.
A war THEY lost.
We paid a huge price and will never forget the sacrifice.

🇺🇸Tesla has an extremely high P/E ratio because it’s supposedly “not just a car company.” Their P/E stands around 130, while Ford’s is about 6.7.
If Tesla were valued similarly to other car companies, its stock price would be approximately $14.
Today, it dropped to $220.
SELL before it’s too late.

Tesla now openly scamming the Canadian government for $43M in rebates in a single weekend.

Either that or each of 4 dealerships sold the equivalent of 50 cars per hour, 24 hours a day, for 3 days straight

MEUSER: You've got Trudeau saying how the president is making a dumb move. That's bad diplomacy.

SANCHEZ: I'm not sure how it's good diplomacy to say that a neighboring country should be the 51st state and that you're gonna impose economic hardship to achieve that goal.

Trudeau: He has said repeatedly, what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us. First of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state.

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

🇺🇸 CNN poll shows just 8% of Americans view Russia positively—on par with those who think the moon landing was fake. 61% see Russia as an enemy, and only 4% as a partner. Only 9% like Putin, with the same percentage believing the Earth is flat. 52% support Ukraine using U.S. weapons in Russia.
