An outstanding choice. She is very qualified for the position and should provide strong leadership to an extremely important priority for #Canada in 2026. #cdnpoli

Canada is uniquely positioned to break the siege of Cuba—we should be leading a regional coalition to ship oil and aid to Cuba, and prevent the humanitarian crisis that U.S. regime is attempting to deliberately trigger.

I wrote about it, and the history of the blockade, for @policyalternatives.ca

The United States is attempting to deliberately trigger a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. Canada must act in concert with regional allies to defy the blockade.

Trump is fuelling a humanitarian crisis in Cuba, with an oil blockade that is leading to devastating power outages and rationing. This administration is determined to dominate the hemisphere with brute force and naked impunity.

Aaand there you go: Trump’s sudden about-face on the most important Canada-US border crossing came after meeting with the billionaire family that owns the rival bridge.

I knew it! The Moroun family donates ridiculous amounts of money to candidates at the city and state level to maintain monopoly control over the border crossing. They ran out of legal options at the court kept telling them no.

So they tried this.

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.

Why do you suppose after meeting with Trump officials, Alberta separatists quietly switched their referendum question from wanting Alberta to become a ”sovereign country” to becoming an ”independent state”?

Like the 51’st state? Like Puerto Rico with no elected representatives?
