This is a much bigger scam than we can think. The Republicans can all buy a party membership as non-citizens and vote who will be the leader. Think about that for a minute. #CdnPoli

Story time: Fun fact, this isn’t the first time the U.S. has had a hand in uniting Canadians. Here's a mini 🧵 on how the U.S. Civil War pushed Canada 🇨🇦 toward Confederation.

1/ Before 1860, Canada was a patchwork of weak, divided colonies. Confederation? A good idea… but not urgent.

After months of bluster...

Danielle Smith announced today that Kitimat is no longer being considered as a pipeline destination as it is not (and never was) an appropriate destination.

'"Kitimat it's not on the table as one of the ports we're looking at. There's too many channels that have to be navigated. It's too complex," Smith said Thursday.'

6/9 On the Pipeline: Smith ruled out Kitimat, B.C. as a destination for her proposed oil pipeline, citing navigational complexity.

Eby confirmed there is no "significant update" on the project, which lacks a route, a private builder, or First Nations buy-in.

Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.

Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

'...replacing the flags was accompanied by a note saying “welcome to the Danish island” or “Welcome to Canada” and a bottle of national liquor (Gammel Dansk bitter or Canadian Club Rye). It became known as the Whisky War, and a cheeky model for calm, cool conflict.'

English version:

But in the end, that is not the path Canada took.
Why?
First, through the resilience of Francophones. A resilience sometimes quiet, often combative, but always determined to preserve a language, a culture, and an identity.
