Canadian lawyer, Manitoban, liberal, grandmother, currently rather more annoyed than usual. Not necessarily in that order, depending on the day. #ElbowsUp
National Debt increase - bad. I get it, but the PCs won't solve life problems for all the little incels and the PCs costed platform is so questionable.

Canada as the 51st State - SO MUCH WORSE.

Watching these election results is really painful. Fingers crossed for the Liberals.

Trump's campaign of hatred and malice towards long-standing allies, co-ventured with Rupert Murdoch, is slowly paying off, as MAGA Republicans learn to despise the Danes, Canadians, and whoever else is the subject of today's two-minutes hate. For MAGA, hating just comes naturally. econ.st/3DQxHBf
Schooled by Trump, Americans are learning to dislike their allies
Our polling shows that Americans’ and Europeans’ attitudes towards each other are changing quickly

PP is using the term "woke folk" in a derogatory manner. How could ANYONE ever vote for that kind of childishness and stupid name calling? It's embarrassing to even hear, unless he is running for Governor of the 51st State.

Canada's Federal Election will be 28 Apr 2025.

The polls have shifted rapidly. Take nothing for granted. Share this, repeat this, do this, take at least two friends to vote with you.

Don't wake up on 29 Apr in despair.

NEW: What makes BLUESKY the new “IT” place for Urbanists? It’s pretty significant that the American Planning Association is putting this out there to its huge membership. I was interviewed for it, as was @mitchellsilver.bsky.social & others.

To JD Vance: How many crazy, left-wing wealthy people would it take to fund the 50 cents to fill a bottle with gas, stuff it with a rag and light it to throw at a Tesla? This is just people who are angry. I do not condone it, but I do understand it. Those cars are insured. Tesla is not out one dime.

The US press is chasing Trump's stupid idea of revoking Biden's pardons and hardly dealing enough with the hundreds of men illegally deported, the tragedy of Ukraine and the dumbest trade war ever. I know this is like herding 1000 kittens, but wake up them up to smell the tuna maybe? #ElbowsUp

Article from the Globe and Mail in Canada by David A. Welch. I loved it! Please Share and sorry, not sorry with my elbows up! www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Opinion: To help tame Donald Trump, Canada needs to target him directly
We can co-ordinate a group of democratic leaders and demonstrate that the United States is not, in fact, the indispensable country it thinks it is

The new liberal leader has been chosen. An election will be called any day.
We cannot allow Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk to interfere in our election and threaten our democracy.
We must protect the people's house from tyranny.

Canadian: Gracious concession comments from Krystia Freeland (who is an excellent candidate for literally anything). How very reasonable = Canadian.

We will have medical bankruptcies and no social safety net whatsoever. Lower taxes maybe, but will we literally die for them? Trump wants our water and our minerals, our oil and our North. He does not want our voters. How could he care about us when he doesn’t care about Americans?
March 9, 2025 at 10:58 PM
Canada is not going to be the 51st State. Trump would never want Canadians to vote or have any influence on U.S. politics. We will, more likely, be the 6th Territory. No votes. No Say. No free speech - because American are losing that.

He hates us, he loves us. He hates us, he loves us. He hates us, he loves us...
We have all had relationships like this. Exhausting.
Well, now we don't care anymore and we just hate him. He's a borderline - emphasis on border.
Buy Canadian!

Andrew Coyne (Globe & Mail) today, on the broken trust that will outlive this tariff war and result in a changed relationship between Canada and the U.S. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Opinion: Donald Trump is trying to destroy Canada
The U.S.’s tariffs are meant to break us. The only thing that they’ve certainly broken is the trust between historically close neighbours - maybe forever

Canada stands with Ukraine. I stand with Canada. As a Canadian, I have always believed I would die for my country but never kill for my country. Now I am reconsidering that belief out of socio-political self-defense and despite our collective love for Americans. We will not ever be the 51st state!
