News junkie. Democracy must be protected at all costs. Fairness for all. Proud Canadian. I'd rather be driving a Titleist.
Love how #Canada Inc. is working hard on deals around the world by positioning Canada as the stable, adult, serious, fair, respectful, rules-based & law abiding North-American partner of choice.

Each crazy, fascist, bullying & threatening action & tweet by Trump is more proof in Canada's favour.

Ronald Reagan called the US the "The shining city on a hill". Under Trump it's become the slum beside the sewer.

As a Canadian growing up 10 miles from the US border, I used to love Americans & going to the US. America, and some Americans, now terrify me. The US has lost its lovely, welcoming soul.

Wasn't Trump supposed to end this war in a day?

I guess he's moved on to more lucrative pastures.

The brutality is staggering.

GOP must be ecstatic.

I thought #Canada 's internal trade barriers were supposed to be gone by July 1st 2025? Maybe Canadian politicians should talk less & actually do something about a bad situation that is 100% under their control. When the IMF points it out, you know it's harmful & dumb.

I'd like to block racist, fascist Elon on X (where I'm only a silent lurker) but I fear doing so will result in my getting a visit from ICE.

There is no more separation between certain media outlets, such as Fox, X and US Tik Tok, & the MAGA state.

The US is in an uncharted dimension of fascism.

Just saw an add for a Canadian bank that gives you an I-watch if you open a type of new account.

Why not offer a Canadian product instead?

Like really, our Canadian corporate overlords need to get with the program too.

Tell your fellow Democratic Senators that any vote to fund this atrocity will be political suicide. We will ensure it.

Funding for more money for ICE requires 60 votes in the senate.

Get on your phones and call your Democratic and Republican Senator with a clear NO.

MAGA plays to win by beating their opponents into submission or death, in total disregard of any rules.

Dems play by some gentlemen's agreement rules from the last century, hoping they won't lose by too much and that maybe a songwriter will write a new tune that will turn the tide in their favour.

People outside the US don't really care about the ICE crisis, although we have great empathy for the victims and people of Minneapolis.

What we care about are the threats against our national sovereignty.

Trump has been a master at threatening both inside the US and outside. What a fucking mess.

Not sure that Americans realize how quickly the world is restructuring to retreat from the US.

You guys have fucked yourselves royally by electing and then allowing Trump to run wild threatening everything that moves.

It's clearly the decline of the American empire.

@mark-carney.bsky.social I hope that the security and financial crimes apparatus in Canada is doing deep dives on possible foreign financial interference and support of disruptive agents in Canada, such as Alberta and Québec separatist movements. Thank you.

Great line I read today: "Trump has never been good at business, but he is very corruptible".

70 million people voted for that...

How can the US continue to leave this man power & represent your country?

What is the matter with you and your system?

Soldiers from other countries DIED because you asked us to support your war and then this piece of shit craps all over them.

Can Democrat lawmakers PLEASE stop referring to the GOP as "Our colleagues". It sounds so, well, gentile and honourable.

They are not.

Call them what they are : "The opposition".
January 22, 2026 at 11:57 PM
In all honesty, if #Canada had met its NATO spending commitment of 2% of GDP (that it has NEVER met since 2006) we would likely have a much stronger industrial base, a more robust military and not be in Trump's sights as much as we are.

Shame on us and shame on our political leadership since then.

As a Canadian, what saddens me most about PM Mark Carney's great speech in Davos is that...

It should never have been necessary. We should never have gotten to the point that a G7 leader would need to make such a speech.

But, here we are & nostalgia for the past is not a strategy for the future.

4 GOP Representatives from Minnesota can flip the House. Why won't they cross the aisle/sit as independents, given the barbarism that is going on in their state?

Payoff, physical threats against them of their loved ones maybe?

Is this a way the world's "Greatest Democracy" is supposed to function?

The ICE boys and girls need to remember that if they got paid, there are all sorts of payroll records for each and every one of them, such as SSNs, address, phone #s, e-mail, next of kin info, tax returns, etc.

They won't be hard to find a wee bit down the road.
