It’s rich for Pete Hoekstra to accuse Canada of meddling in American politics when the United States habitually meddles in the affairs of other countries. Hoekstra can shut his big Trump-loving pie hole and go to hell.

This is why America can no longer be trusted as an ally
Someone recently questioned me about whether I was actually being serious when I spoke of the serious threat posed to our nation.
They wondered if I was fear-mongering about Trump.
I wish I was.
I really wish I was.

"The issue was interference & corruption & a government that cared more about moving privatization & being American-style in how they deliver health care than actually cared about patient well-being or the taxpayer."

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I particularly want to stress that the violence we talk about trans people experiencing isn't just murder or domestic abuse or assault.
There is also legislative violence—far too much of it. And we lose lives to that every year too.

The Alberta government putting out a statement for Trans Day of Remembrance two days after using the Notwithstanding Clause to override trans kids rights feels like parody at this point
"Our government remains a dedicated partner of transgender Albertans.”

Working with the Swedes on building Gripen fighter jets looks better all the time.
BTW Pete could you tell us if you have any knowledge of the $500 Mil slush fund offered to Alberta separatists?

As a minister I strongly condemn the odious actions by conservatives in this province.
Invoking the Notwithstanding clause is a curtailment of democracy. But foremost, it advances the American far-right agenda rooted in diminishing trans lives in this province, notably trans youth. #abpoli #ableg

Republicans calling Mamdani an Islamic terrorist, then honoring Mohammed Prince "Bone Saws" bin Salman Al Saud with a White House visit is the most audacious display of GOP repugnance I've seen in about the last hour. If a nonstop flow of dumpster juice is your thing, they'll never disappoint.

But in the House, they both said they'd been unable to vote earlier because the app failed. So they lied. To the Speaker.
CBC's Power & Politics is busily exposing how the Conservatives actually propped up Carney's budget by hiding 2 people in the wings until the last minute to find out how the vote was going, before deciding to vote no. IE: They'd have voted yes if it looked like it was going to fail.
