Is it not completely obvious that Elon Musk is really just LARPing as Peter Weyland from Alien?
I mean I would compare Trump to the Alien creature Weyland (almost) unleashed on humanity for his own benefit, but that feels unfair to the Aliens from the Alien franchise somehow. #USpoli #ElonMusk

(1/n) @mark-carney.bsky.social, you realize if you empower oil & gas corporations to lie they are going to use that power to undermine our democracy right? Trudeau also thought he could make a bargain with them...

(1/2) If you're going to listen to anything ahead of today's budget I'd recommend this: www.sierraclub.ca/emissions-ca...
It's an interview with Canadian climate impacts survivors about the need for an #EmissionsCap on oil and gas corporations. #Budget #Budget2025 #CDNPOLI

I overheard this recently from someone in the physical sciences: "We should just go back to everyone having empires. That way we wouldn't have a war every two years."

I don't know if @theguardian.com put these three articles next to each other on purpose on their front page. By you can now see how completely ridiculous and out of depth one of Bill Gates' statements is in one short glance.

"What remains unclear is what exactly about the negotiations with Canada has been so frustrating to Trump."
It's quite simple looking at all the factors together. He's upset we're not willing to be his 51st State: neither in title nor in lack of autonomy.

Good to see the ads will continue airing. Canceling the ads at this point (no matter what you think of the ads as an initial tactic) would signal weakness.
Appeasing Trump in this moment would be a bad idea, it would only embolden him. #CDNpoli #ONpoli #USpoli #Reagan #Trump #WorldSeries

(1/n) If there's a benefit to him Trump would have found a reason to cancel trade talks one way or the other. I seriously doubt this ad had anything to do with it. Someone in #Trumps inner circle, or himself, stands to benefit financially from the resulting chaos #CDNpoli #ONpoli #TradeTalks #USpoli

(1/n) Another #CBC News coverage problem here: To many people this will read as if U.S. are investing in the expansion of Canadian #oil&gas. But this line is most telling:

(1/2) A lot more happened than this, including a declaration of war against 'the enemy within' which was clearly defined as anyone who opposes Trump or supports a peaceful transition of power. As well as an open invitation and plan to test and use military force against American civilians.

Canada will be the next target if Trump attempts & succeeds at a military takeover of the U.S. and enforces a dictatorship. The most strategic thing we can do right now as Canadians is support those Americans peacefully resisting Trump.

If you want to protect Canada from Trump then the biggest strategic mistake to make is to start from the premise that Trump gives a *bleep* about #America or the American people...
