They are accurate and easily verified by going to Statistics Canada and the US BEA, as well as multiple other sources. Saying things are bogus doesn't make them bogus, that is the reaction of a child or a narcissistic dictator.

Trump has fired the USA's commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because he didn't like the job numbers, so this will be the last accurate data out of the USA.

Everyone gets conned at some point in their lives. There is no shame in admitting it. There is deep shame in supporting pedophiles though.

Oh I get it, this month is called May because it may rain, it may snow, it may be blistering hot, and it may happen all on the same day.

Elections Canada sent people to the cancer ward to make sure people didn’t miss their opportunity to vote. I haven’t been this impressed with democracy in Canada since we kept the People’s Party of Canada out of the House of Commons. Twice.

Be like Canada…

Two political maps of Canada showing a dramatic shift in party dominance from February 2025 to April 2025. In the April map, nearly the entire country has turned red, indicating a significant surge in support for the Liberal Party, with only parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan remaining blue.

The title reads: “Dramatic Political Shift in Canada in 2 Months.”
A legend confirms blue = CPC
and red = LPC.

The US military base that JD Vance visited in Greenland uses fuel that can only be delivered with the help of Canadian ice breakers.

I noticed he didn't say thank you.

This interview with #DanielleSmith about #Poilievre was from yesterday on the extreme-right propaganda station Breitbart in the USA!

She also said she had been trying to get #Trump to ease up on threats until after the election to help Poilievre get elected!

Traitors.

Every one job in Canada in the Aluminum industry supports 13 jobs in the United States. When you see the loss of a Canadian job in Aluminum - America loses many, many more. There’s a reason the WSJ calls this “The dumbest trade war in history.” #cdnpoli

It’s been said many times that the treaties supersede the separatists.

Alberta simply can’t leave without support from treaty signatories.

And today, Chief Billy-Joe Tuccaro of the Mikisew Cree Nation made it clear.

It’s a hard no.

PM #MarkCarney ordered a review of Canada’s contract for 88 F-35 fighter jets, in response to tariffs & expansionist rhetoric from #Trump

#1 choice is Swedish-built Saab Gripen. Assembly & maintenance would be in #Canada + there'd be transfer of intellectual property - unlike USA's #F-35
