Mom, wife, foodie, wannabe artist, politics watcher. Proud to live in the best country in the world.
Kind of insane, really.
Why would anyone want to go to the US?
It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

“I expect two more, at least,” one Conservative caucus member told National Post. “Poilievre will continue to die a death of 1,000 cuts, because I’ve never seen a guy who’s so unaware of the room he’s in, and I’ve never seen a guy who just refuses to stop doing stupid things.”
As the floor-crossing dust settles, Conservatives are bracing for more defections
After MP Michael Ma crossed the floor from the Conservatives to the Liberals, it's the best of times for Liberals and the worst for the CPC.

If they’re willing to do this then I’d bet money they’re willing to encourage/support Alberta separatism.

OMG, she’s awful!
The people who held Sa’d up as nothing more than an unbiased observer must feel so disappointed right now

I have to believe there are more CPC MPs who are turned off or even embarrassed by Poilievre’s style and antics.
The Liberals need just one more seat and then the entire landscape shifts. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia

Ontario: F
And yet we remain absolutely allergic to holding Fun Uncle Doug to account for anything.
One of the 36 indicators in today's first annual provincial HOMES report card. A high proportion of households in BC and Ontario live in small, cramped housing relative to their family size and composition.

Your reminder that Maplehurst is a provincial correctional facility. This is Ford's responsibility and I can't believe that his government is not being held to account for the atrocious abuses that have taken place there.
This former inmate says he was assaulted by guards. Maplehurst lost the security camera footage that could corroborate his claims
A lawyer described it as a suspicious pattern for the Ontario jail, which was recently criticized for losing footage of abusive mass strip searches.

Denmark’s military intelligence service has for the first time classified the US as a security risk, a striking shift in how one of Washington’s closest European allies assesses the transatlantic relationship.
Danish intelligence classifies Trump’s America as a security risk
Denmark sounds the alarm about the U.S.’s increasingly antagonistic posture toward Europe.

At this point, why would any non-American want to visit the USA?
Just don’t go there!
Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

Hey 🇨🇦 the US plans to check ALL tourists and visitors’ social media going back 5 years! One more reason why Canadians should not travel to America unless necessary. The others, as I debate on TVO are safety, the signal we send and solidarity #cndpoli youtu.be/ZV-Cv_lLE9U?...

“The United States is not in an armed conflict with the alleged drug cartels that Trump is targeting. There can be no war crime if there is no war. But there can still be murder, which these attacks were. So were every one of the other killings at sea that Trump and Hegseth have ordered.“

Should #America survive the #Trump era it would do well to ensure the stain never wears off his celebrity enablers. They made a choice in this moment and revealed exactly who they are. NEVER forgive them.

That rat #SnoopDog too
Whatsoever your excuse may be, supporting Trump in 2025 is supporting Fascism & means you'd have found a way to support Hitler & the Nazis in the 30s. It's so much more than just bad judgement, it's an unpardonable defect in your character that belies an openness to hatred, cruelty & outright evil.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

SCOOP — Gregg Phillips, a conspiracy theorist with no emergency management experience who helped produce the election-denying documentary ‘2000 Mules’ with Dinesh D’Souza and has faced numerous legal inquiries, has been named head of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery.

My story:
Conspiracy theorist election denier given FEMA’s second-most important role
Gregg Phillips will lead the Office of Response and Recovery, “the heart of what FEMA does.”

As far as I can tell, the current iteration of the Conservative Party of Canada is only good at 2 things - rage-farming and fundraising.
What’s more concerning is that they only seem to care about those 2 things. #cdnpoli

Funny how that works.
immigrants score the lowest on tests, but they also take all our jobs, while at the same time taking all the welfare and buying all the homes
