“Never, never, never, never, never.” PM Carney repeated at same meeting.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 6

Carney to Trump: "There are some places that are never for sale ... having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign, it's not for sale. It won't be for sale ever."

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).

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.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Zelensky: I thank EU for adopting the strong 19th sanctions package.

This is a demonstration of unity at a time when Russia is escalating the war.

The restrictions target exactly those things that help Moscow continue this war: oil and gas sector, shadow fleet, defense-industrial complex.

It makes me incredibly sad to listen to PM Carney. He is right in his assessment of his country’s relationship with us. We cannot be trusted to be good trading partners with any country. It is numbing to see how far we have fallen.

Jeez from the comments in social media sites today, it appears folks in Alberta can’t even book their Covid shots for this year!

After online confusion, Alberta confirms flu and COVID vaccines will still be available next year without pre-ordering. #abpoli #[email protected]

Alberta gov't clarifies flu and COVID shots can be booked next year

Ministry blames social media comments for confusion caused by its own ambiguous message on vacciness.
