Can we please close the border now? Completely? No in or out to the US? This Canadian has had enough of Trump’s act; if we’re so nasty, let’s be nasty.

@yasirnaqvicdn.bsky.social Can the government please give consideration to closing the border to US traffic? I know it will be painful for Canadians, but this Canuck is tired of the US rhetoric and our seeming capitulation (see DST) on Trump threats. Let them see how interdependent our economies are

Happening? No. Past tense. Has already happened.
It can happen here. It is happening here.

The USA is no longer a free country. When you’re arresting opposition politicians you’ve descended to banana republic / fascist territory.
I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

@katiephang.bsky.social I just saw your bit on posse commitatus. You’re aware that Trump already has his get out of jail free card right? SCOTUS already gave him immunity on job related decisions so AT BEST this goes back to SCOTUS (in what, 6 months?) and they rule for him again.

@yasirnaqvicdn.bsky.social I realize we’re still dealing with a minority govt, but how do we get CANZUK moving? We should have done this years ago.

So Dow futures are down 1200 points. What was that tweet about a president resigning if the market dropped that much?🤔

If I were a Liberal campaign strategist (I’m not), I’d start running attack ads saying that Poilievre is the favourite choice of American and Canadian Oligarchs, such as Musk, and Poilievre would negotiate with Trump to make Canada a state.

Fuck being nice. It’s war.

Why is Trump concerned about fentanyl deaths now, when he couldn’t give a damn about Covid deaths during his first term?

I think Americans greatly underestimate how central “Not being an American” is to the core of the Canadian identity.

For the first time ever, I’ve joined @liberal-party.bsky.social. My party of choice (the Conservatives) left me a long time ago and it’s past the point to be screwing around. Canada has to stand up to the tyrant they’ve elected down south.
