It says a lot about the current Conservative Party in Canada that supporters of the BLOC QUÉBÉCOIS are more in favour of fighting to defend Canada than Conservative supporters. Yikes! #cdnpoli
Among Those Who Say To Defend Our Nation:

All: 59%

New Democrats: 78%
Liberals: 73%
Bloc Quebecois: 46%
Conservatives: 38%
"If Canada were ever to face a situation in which the United States used military force against Canadian territory, what do you believe should be Canada primary response?"

Defend and Fight: 59%
Avoid Fighting - Make Concessions: 24%

Much like the Brexit campaign, completely and utterly lies and fabrications. If these losers campaigned on the reality, no one would ever consider it, so they relentlessly lie. It also seems like a few of them may be actively committing treason? #ableg #abpoli

The UCP is a disgrace and a total threat to the rule of law. While he and his family members (allegedly) loot the health system of hundreds of millions of dollars, little Mickey also wants to seize control of even more money that doesn’t belong to him. The corruption deepens #ableg #abpoli

More pathetic cowardice from the Carney government. This is now what we voted for. This government is not going to last long if it keeps embracing the very appeasement it campaigned against. If Greenland falls, we will be next. It’s time we accept that and prepare accordingly #cdnpoli

Meta just hired a Trump lackey, Dina Powell McCormick, as its new president. So I'm just gonna re-up this: www.thestar.com/opinion/star...
Justin Ling: Canadians won’t let the U.S. government boss them around. But U.S. mega-corporations? Sure, why not
For years, Meta has blocked Canadians from accessing news content on its platforms. And for years, Canada has done nothing about this.

BREAKING!

“Changing the law through Bill 14 on December 12, 2025 to overturn a court ruling in our favour is not the work of a government that respects democratic institutions or the rule of law.”

Treaty 6, 7 & 8 are throwing their support behind Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation.

This attack - involving ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as countless drones - has now been going on for almost five hours…
Another wave of ballistic missiles just hit Kyiv - three loud explosions audible here in western Kyiv, loud enough to trigger car alarms.

Smith, the UCP, & Mraiche are (allegedly) systematically looting the health care system of Albertans, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars just that we know about. Patients are dying, staff are being overworked and abused all so Smith & the UCP’s cronies can get even richer #abpoli #ableg

The corrupt UCP and its cronies are operating like a Mafia organization. These people must be removed from government and face consequences for their reckless criminality and lawlessness. This is the sort of stuff that goes on in places like Russia & Iran, not Canada #abpoli #ableg

State enforced censorship from the authoritarian Government of Alberta. The UCP is a cancer on our free society that needs to be cut out #ableg #abpoli
Last summer and fall, there was a lot of attention on Alberta's move to screen and limit books in schools after the gov't said people found graphic novels with explicit scenes on school shelves.

Monday was the deadline for schools to follow the new rules. #AbEd #AbLeg

The corruption of this government goes so deep. The guy allegedly conspiring with his relatives in the government to loot our healthcare system as people die in hospital hallways is also allegedly paying for disinfo/intimidation to attack those holding him accountable. Gutter scum #ableg #abpoli

Mark Carney is a coward for refusing to call out the Trump administration over its violation of international law in Venezuela and its escalating threats against Greenland.

He will slam Russia for invading a country, but justify the United States doing the same.

I do think there’s a very good argument that when you strip everything else away, all of this is the result of a bunch of mediocre losers with small hogs who are desperately trying to prove what manly men they are
they're doing it for gender, imo
It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

This is a dangerous and irresponsible response.

Cheering the illegal abduction of a foreign head of state and celebrating U.S. control over another country is wrong.

Canada cannot pick & choose when international law applies. If the rules only matter when it’s convenient, they don’t protect anyone
