Once again, the conservatives are full maga, from the messagibg to the psychology, and the smarts - which are clearly dishonestly lacking in the context of an #election.
Pp is now claiming the #liberals are the reason dump wants to annex #canada.
Full maga, the exact playbook.
The guy that backed the convoy is now saying mark carney is betting against canada. Fulllllll maga, leads right into promising tax cuts, just like dump promised cheaper #eggs
Full maga Pp goes on to promise the exact things dump promised to get elected down to a T
Once again late in the news, is promising to build pipelines, will “unleash all the energy”, stopping short of drill baby drill, but barely, as he goes into a natural gaz pitch, now makes promises on how china and russia will behave on energy policy … where was this guy the past week?
It’s completely insulting to think we’re paying for this nonsense,
young guy late 20’s green shirt beard center left, early on on the broadcast, seemed to salute the first time, then toned down… but i’d need a replay here, that happened fast.
The guy seems way more cheerful than extremist, so… yeah. Unsure.
Manitoba voters weigh in on election – tariffs, Canadian sovereignty top priority With the federal election announced, a U of M professor says 'the ballot question is no longer should there be a change of government but who would make the better prime minister.' #election #politics #tariffs #sovereignty #Manitoba #Canada globalnews.ca/news/11094647/ma…
How about elevating Bruce Fanjoy to Favorite son of Canada status (or at least folk hero status) for having the fortitude to run against PP in #Carleton?
Any Canadian across the country can "help" Pierre #Poilievre lose his #Ottawa Carleton seat by supporting Bruce Fanjoy, the Liberal candidate who's been knocking on doors & talking to residents across this massive riding for the past 2 years.
Good for Canada. As the U.S. government blunders into hurt itself by trying to hurt its friends, I’m glad our friends are taking care of themselves well and metaphorically kicking the U.S government in its teeth, as the U.S. government essentially asked our friends to do.
Every 1 million tonnes or barrels of its own natural resources that #Canada refines is 1 million tonnes or barrels that the #US doesn't. That is a beat down right out of the gate.

Emma Harrison, a third-generation farmer, former Team Canada lacrosse player & small business owner in Selwyn where she runs a family farm with her husband, Connor (who works as a paramedic) is running against Mr. #Poilievre's controversial MP Michelle Ferreri.
@Sanderde You mean this "controversial" Ms. Ferrari?
"Peterborough's MP Michelle Ferreri was a disastrous choice for the Standing Committee on the Status of Women given her past disrespectful profanity laced rants on social media and her ongoing misleading statements in the House of Commons"
The idea here is to make signs while we have time, good company, and good art supplies on hand, and have them ready to use — not just once, but over and over and over and over.
Having signs at the ready lowers the friction to getting those protest boots on and showing up.
I didn’t manage to photograph everyone’s sign, alas! There were some great ones I missed.
Possibly my favorite of the ones not pictured was just the word “NO” filling an entire 30x20 poster. Sure did make the point.
Anyone else inspired to have their own protest poster party? I sure can recommend it! And now that we have these signs, it’s just a little easier to show up. Maybe I’ll even just stand on a local street corner with one of mine for half an hour after work….
Great idea! Home made signs are always better than pre-printed signs, especially if those signs contain the name of some group with whom you don't necessarily agree on everything.
It would be great if someone could hack Fox News during prime time and share an #anonymous video. Trumpers on Facebook and Twitter aren’t going to be seeing this.
Let's go, Canada! You see what's happening here as a result of a gerrymandered minority cheating their way into office in a hostile takeover of America. Save yourselves!

How interesting. Beijing(China) wants Canada to go back on their ban of TikTok on canadian govt mobile devices, as well as allow use of china’s ai program DeepSeek in Canada, in order for them to feel comfortable discussing trade agreements.
Yet, they demonstrate a complete disregard for evolving security protocols within Canada over the last decade at least, while operating their banks within Canada. Their bank cannot successfully play ignorant with a history of documented proof involving very similar, if not the same fraud, as well as other illegal activity within other countries.
Furthermore, Canada is urged to see necessity in protecting immigrants in Canada from their country’s of origin disrespectful reach over canadian borders to harass, scare, and threaten their former residences to stay silent on matters within their country of origin, as well as capitulate to demands, or risk the safety of family within their country of origin.

The #US is clueless if they think #Canada will drown without them. Big #Canadian businesses buy from and collab with them because we are loyal to our #allies. THAT has all changed.
As if we can’t collab with other countries? It’s laughable. Presently I am researching common tech made and sold by #EUcountries. Figuring out which #smartphone, #tablet and #earbuds I like, before our Canadian phone companies and tech stores make their switches to offering plans including them.
Canadians, if you can’t find it made in Canada, find it made in Europe.

A long standing monument to peace, unity and friendship between #Canada and #America has now been attacked by America, and shut down. The library that straddles both countries, a show of trust and respect, has banned Canadians from the US side, destroying the trust and friendship between our two countries
"U.S. authorities closing Canadian access to library that straddles Quebec-Vermont border"
A small town in southern Quebec says American authorities have decided to close the Canadian access to an historic library that sits on the border between the two countries.
Canada should immediately demolish the half of the library that encroaches on our sovereign territory. If the building collapses, so be it. Not our problem. #cdnpoli #USpol
@cjmoorehead No, being constructive would be far more useful. Drag readings of banned books, support all the things they're trying to demolish already.
@tim_lavoie For that, we’d need to build another entrance, because the main one’s on the US side. However, there might be an emergency exit we could use. Bring on the drag queens!
@gparenti By design. Trump is trying to provoke a response. Reciprocate, ban entry to Americans on the Canadian side of the building. Have border patrol secure the line if necessary
@Lazarou time to put all the forbidden books on the Canada side, along with "celebrating DEI", "Black Lives Matter" and "Celebrating LGBT+" exhibitions. no. It would radically transform the Photoshop the next time a US politician went there to make a statement. And of course, trying to take down the exhibitions would be an attack on Canadian Sovereignty.
this is such insane bullshit, and all before I got to visit a place I didn’t even know about. Did the US forget what happened in 1814? Stop fucking with Canada y’all.
@MelvilleSpence ya the trope is that Europe hates Americans and it's been that way for decades, so if they haven't gotten it yet they probably won't now...
@alice @MelvilleSpence we'll be right there with you to help rebuild when you get the chance. Canadian government is trying to target red states and their manufacturing as much as possible because they're fully aware of where trump nuts are. Hopefully the damage to dem supporters is minimal 😐
What are they even trying to accomplish here? Seems like a great opportunity for binational mass civil disobedience. To bring attention to it if nothing else. Most Americans, especially MAGAats will never hear about this.
Because us Americans have been so systematically victimized by… Canadians? MAGA always has been based on grievance politics, but this is so over the top.
@My camera shoots fascists @Mike. 🩼🇨🇦 Idk many Canadians who will want to risk petty civil disobedience on the land of the United States of Dictatorship. But i know some who’d prefer getting snatched over giving the whitehouse another 1814.
@Mikal @happyfamjam to be fair, Hamilton used to be known as "Canada's Detroit" so maybe there was some long pent up anger over electric cars there?? 😁
@happyfamjam @Mikal ya they took away the pub culture and replaced it with dance clubs 🤬🤬 or at least they were 20 years ago when I left. I really enjoyed drinking beer in that city!
This is the same place one of those Republican shitheads stood in a week or two ago, hopping back and forth across the line, giggling "America! 51st state! America! 51st state!".

3 members of punk band The U.K. Subs were detained by immigration officials at LAX where they had arrived for their farewell tour.
Their luggage, phone, and passport were confiscated; and they were held for 25hrs before being sent back to Britain. Apparently this is another example (like the French scientist) of being harassed and denied entry because they had dared to question the politics of Dear Leader on social media.
Ultimately, while I never expected to be thrown out of America at the age of 67, I find myself somewhat proud of the fact. It seems my relationship with the country is over for the foreseeable future. And perhaps that’s why a certain chorus from track three, side one, of the first Clash album keeps playing in my head.
Some of you might have come across posts on the UK Subs’ website featuring photos and videos of an unfamiliar line-up performing with Charlie at a Los Angeles punk festival over the weekend.
@Lazarou That's always come with an asterisk, but the footnote it leads to has gotten much longer of late. We've never been as free as we thought we were.
Trump is a big baby, and the border enforcement people are the biggest Trumpers in the government, that is what this is about. If they want to ban any artist who has ever said anything bad about him, that will include pretty much everyone.
"I still can’t quite get my mind around the fact the guy who refuses to get his security clearance is basing his entire campaign around describing his main rival as "sneaky."
I think "refuses to get" is actually "is incapable of getting".
Just what we need, a PM who is deemed to be a security risk. This is really our time to prove that we're less gullible than our friends just south of us.
I think the reason Trump won in 2024 & the reason removing him will take a sacrifice that most Americans aren't prepared to make, is that the right has figured out how to make themselves seem inevitable, invulnerable & ubiquitous by amplifying & inflating their actual public support to appear greater than it is. It's why they throw $$$ at AI, Meta is a black box, Musk bought twitter, they invented Newsmax & OAN, and the admin has pulled tech in tight.
Don't get me wrong - MAGA has lots of support. But the masses believe the nonsense they are told because the podcast guy assures them that it makes sense, the AM talk radio team assures them it makes sense, and every night Fox Primetime brings it home.
Add in the social media algorithms designed to keep them engaged with like minded people AND an unknown amount of paid trolls and AI...you could make anyone believe anything with a skilled team & big enough digital marketing budget.
@Captain_Jack_Sparrow That may be true, but I would be SHOCKED if the GOP doesn't lose the House in the 2026 midterms given the backlash we've seen at these town halls.
@cameronbosch @Captain_Jack_Sparrow Republicans—with no one willing to enforce the laws Trump doesn't want enforced—will not allow anything to threaten their majority.
AI is just an artificial white male. You ask a question and it is compelled to answer that question no matter how little it actually knows anything about the subject.
