First Colbert, now Kimmel.

Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.

Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The United States is no longer a nation under the rule of law.
I urge Canadians to avoid travel. Illegal detentions and kidnapping by ICE have become all too common for travellers and those with working VISAs.
Stay away at this time.

"I was a fan of Amazon for a long time, I think they have a good product. But I’m just so disgusted," says Lauren Bedson.

It’s a sentiment that many Americans have been feeling.

Please watch and share my statement on the 60th anniversary of the Maple Leaf.
We no longer have neighbours we are facing a hostile regime.
But we will defend our values of inclusion and democracy.
We will never bend to kiss the ring of the gangster in Washington.

Time to turn off the taps.
Not a single bottle of American wine, beer or bourbon should be sold anywhere in Canada.
From here on in I will only drink "freedom" wines from Canada, France or Spain.
As for the beer? It's shit anyways.

We need to shut down any attempt by Elon Musk to monkey-wrench our election. We must defend Canada's democratic integrity.
Please write to Elections Canada calling on them to shut down interference by Musk's interference in the X algorithm.
Send message here:
Stephane.Perrault@elections.ca
Canadian MP Charlie Angus: If Elon Musk is unwilling to respect Canada’s electoral laws, will Elections Canada have the tools to take him on—or shut him down—if necessary? We cannot allow men like Elon Musk, the broligarchy of the United States, to interfere in our country.
