Don't like being LIED TO by our public news broadcaster. 'The National' tonight aired Canadians benefit from lower pump prices because the 'carbon tax was removed.' BULLSHIT; pump prices are lower because crude oil fell to $56 / barrel, an 18% drop from this time last year. @liberalca.bsky.social

Trump’s national security strategy is alarming
The Trump administration’s national security document is not so much a strategy as it is an imperialist, ham-fisted attack.

Canada was pretty sure the US needed its potash for the growing season. Nope. A deal with Belarus is the preferred way. Who knew?

Much as we might get our hopes up, I'm not convinced that PP is going to lose his leadership review. Only delegates present at the convention can vote. Many riding assns can't afford to send delegates, let alone the 10 allowed. The convention is in Calgary. Do the math. #cdnpoli

For 1st time since trade war, Canada exported more than it imported

Cons are broken .

Exports to countries other than the United States rose sharply by 11 per cent: exports to the U.S. increased, imports from the US decreased

Former CPC MP, Matt Jeneroux, is still sitting as an Independent. Nothing stopping him from joining the Liberals now if he has the stones to do so.

There’s an AI-powered conspiracy machine selling ‘Truthwear’ merch to Canadians, and my friends at the National Observer unmasked the person profiting from this account.

The story shows what happens when people are given incentives to publish fake information, at scale, all with the help of AI:
