So Poilievre has been campaigning for what, two years? Election day is one week away and still no CPC costed platform. How much clearer can it be that he is incapable of leading. No plan, no number, no organization. He has one mode: Attack. The Liberal plan, universities, media and press. #unfit

Going to be pondering this for awhile.
“We must not just seek just goals– an end to oppression, say, or accountability for harmdoers – we have to get there by striving to be the people we're supposed to be, every single step of the way.”

If Trump is serious (and who really knows), I think there are a few things to keep an eye out for:
1. Creating economic instability in the country to "soften us up" for annexation: tariffs, attacks on debt issuance, limiting correspondent banking relationships (think FATF action) and access to US$
1. Creating economic instability in the country to "soften us up" for annexation: tariffs, attacks on debt issuance, limiting correspondent banking relationships (think FATF action) and access to US$
This is new: “A source with direct knowledge of the discussions told NBC News that Trump is heavily focused on Canada in conversations with aides, who believe he is completely serious about making the country the 51st state—even with Trudeau out of power”

Trump's quest to conquer Canada is confusing everyone
Canadians and Republicans alike are confounded as President Donald Trump increasingly links a trade war to his push to annex America's northern neighbor.

You are being treated to think pieces now, about Ford's Trump strategy. 🫠
If none of them mention, as context, that Ontario isn't a critical supplier of energy to the US, and doesn't have a contract to deliver energy to any US states, stop reading it.

Since Jan 6 our world has turned upside down.
Canada is under threat like never before.
There are still 8 months left in this parliament.
We can put aside our fights and come together for Canada.
These are my thoughts on how normal politics is no more.

Elon Musk is a bandit.
And Doug Ford just signed $100 million deal with him.
Meanwhile he and Trump are trying to crush the people of Ukraine.
Doug Ford says it's the "best bang for the buck."
No Doug, this is what vichy collaborators do.

Ontario’s debt has exploded under #DougFord. All while cutting healthcare, education, environmental protection. #Conservatives DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE BUDGET. They are NEVER good fiscal stewards. They always leave a giant fiscal mess & social harm. #Onpoli #VoteFordOut

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

Supporting Canadian should also extend to the media we consume.
Postmedia is majority owned by a Republican-connected US hedge fund thanks to legislation the Conservatives pushed through AFTER they lost in 2015. It was a Republican takeover of Canadian media.
