Because Canada has spent the last several decades glazing US presidents, we have no friends.

Most of the world already sees Canada as USA Light.

So, that is why it was especially important that Canada denounces the invasion of Venezuela.

But Carney dropped the ball.

CBC again with irresponsible journalism.

If Canada needs to economically diversify due to competition from Venezuelan oil, the answer isn't more pipelines.

The answer is alternative energy. Solar. Wind. Etc.

But not one mention of that.

A few things:

1. Read the room.

2. Crime is at historic lows in Canada.

3. Police do not prevent crime.

4. Funding for education, mental health, drug treatment, housing, youth programs, and other social programs reduces crime.

5. Canadians did not vote for this.

This is incredibly irresponsible reporting by CBC. Just parroting the statements of the US regime.

If you know they're lies, you don't have to report their statements at all.

And if you are going to parrot their statements, at least point out the falsehoods.

Let's check in on the Fascist States of America...

ICE killed another person today, this time in Minneapolis.

Americans didn't riot after the 4 previous murders.

Maybe Americans finally wake up after this 5th murder?

For those who believe CBC/Global/CTV narrative that Venezuelans support the US invasion:

A majority does not.

And reminder, opposition leader, Machado (who is being backed by Canadian PM Carney), is a fascist. Obviously, Venezuelans don't want her as president.

Canadians need to celebrate Canadian culture.

One of the ways to do that is to highlight artists.

Give this man a follow.

In 2026 I'm picking one Canadian musician a week to go deep into the back catalogue of, to hopefully reset some of my streaming algorithms and discover (or rediscover) some gems. By the end of the year I'll have 50 Canadian artists to love!

I'll thread each week here with my favourite song. ✨🎶

This.

And it's not only OK to criticise those leaders, it's vital that we do. Democracy in Canada and the rest of the democratic world depends on it.

#cdnpoli
We see this similar garbage logic in Canada. There are people defending timid-ass statements from our leaders because speaking out to defend democratic and law-based norms won't move Trump or might antagonize him. As if Trump is the only audience. The public reinforcing of norms is its own good.
Unreal how many Democrats—politicians, pundits, posters, etc—advocate complacency on the grounds that they won't get Republicans to remove Trump.

Yes, you draw public attention to Trump malfeasance, make Republicans publicly defend it, and distract the regime, but don't get Trump out of office. OK.

This can be another policy differentiator for @ndp.ca.

Liberals aren't prioritising Canadian sovereignty in the digital sphere.

And Conservatives would sell Canada out as quickly as they could.

Canadians want our sovereignty protected. NDP, step up.

It's time for Canadian governments to assert sovereignty in the vitally important digital sphere, which is dominated by the United States.

Canada's federal government needs to immediately pass legislation that the US government cannot invest in mining projects in Canada.

In fact, they should go further and ban all US investment in every sector.

This post (and replies) reflects the sentiment of most of us.

Google search is especially terrible (by design - if you have to search longer to find info, you are exposed to more ads and Google makes more $).

We need to replace corporate control of the internet with a non-profit model.

Today is one of those days where I’m struck anew by how *bad* the internet has gotten. It’s almost unusable. Clouds, apps, advertising — nothing is where it should be and it’s nigh impossible sometimes to do basic tasks online.

Axworthy is absolutely correct.

I would go one step further by suggesting that Canada should join México, Colombia, Brasil, and Uruguay in forming an American Union to combat the power and imperialistic ambitions of the US.

Appeasement doesn't work with Trump. Only solidarity will.

México has the most courageous leader in the Americas currently.

Frankly, that should be Canada's role given our G7 status.

But while Carney continually drops the ball, at least Sheinbaum is doing her best to stand up for what is morally correct.

Yes. More market housing might help prevent large increases in pricing, but does not reduce prices long term.

My take is this:

The US will invade
-Colombia
-Panamá
-Cuba
-México; and
-Canada

before invading Greenland. Because an invasion of Danish territory will force the EU to intervene. Whereas the EU won't care about Canada, especially given Carney's weak ass statement on Venezuela.

Ok, I promise this will be my last dystopian post of the day! (Although I have been known to break promises) A very real possibility, given a recent history of threats, is that he will now invade Greenland.
