Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney:

"It's easy to be negative about everything when you've never fixed anything...Negative slogans aren't solutions...Division isn't strength. Negativity won't win a trade war...Negativity won't bring down the price of groceries."

Excited to share a personal project I've been working on. I've heard the best thing you can do for your country in tough times is use the skills you have.

So I hope you'll subscribe, share and listen to Elbows Up, a podcast about how, exactly, Canada can be strong and free. Forever.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

I have said this before ... the whole point of Trump's tariffs is to *deliberately* create American bankruptcies and foreclosures, so that his billionaire techbros can swoop in and snap up those assets for next to nothing.

Financial hardship for Americans is not an accident -- it is the *goal*.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

BC Parks are finally back on the map—literally! After a quick fix, they’re no longer mislabelled as state parks on Google!
BC Parks no longer 'State' parks on Google thanks to quick fix
If you Googled “John Dean Provincial Park” on Monday, you might have noticed something odd—it was listed as a “State park in British Columbia.”

"We will NEVER be a 51st state! When people like O'Leary and Poilievre support Trump what are they hoping to get.. a bigger piece of meatloaf at Mar a Lago? For throwing Canadian pride out the f*cking window?"

Meta banned news on its platforms in Canada. Now they’re filled with scammy ads pretending to be headlines from legitimate news sources like the CBC that the company isn’t acting to quickly take down.

Social media platforms in Canada are hosting hundreds of ads from scam artists pretending to be news publishers, while suppressing authentic news content.

I’m starting to explore non-Meta social media alternatives. Any thoughts on Mastodon, Pixelfed and Friendica?
Until then, happy Saturday from the mountains!

Canadians are watching as Silicon Valley takes over the US government, but few realize Shopify executives are trying to bring a similar project to Canada — and the leader of the Conservative Party has started praising them for it.

Read my latest for @thebreach.bsky.social:
Pierre Poilievre is cozying up to Canada’s far-right broligarchs ⋆ The Breach
Just like their Silicon Valley counterparts, some Canadian tech billionaires are trying to push Canada to the right
