Why in the world has Google decided to rename the Gulf of Mexico on Google Maps outside of the US? If Americans want to listen to their nut job orange clown dictator they can go for it, but please don't force his idiocy on the rest of us!

I cannot believe that Vance stood on a podium in front of all the European leaders and attempted to dictate terms over AI regulation. The Americans are in for a real shock when they suddenly realize they don't control the entire globe!

Reading this reply to the editor in the Globe and Mail and this isn't a half bad idea. Maybe this will get Musk to stop meddling in Canadian politics! Also Germany may want to try it out...

Went to see War of the Rohirrim and I have to say that I really enjoyed it! Animation was good, story was well developed, and it felt like it fit perfectly into the LOTR universe. For those debating seeing it, please ignore all the haters and give it a chance!

Anyone ready for a repeat of War of 1812? Though this time around, I don't think we'll be burning down the White House...
No we are not going to be the 51st state.
Canadian parliamentarians need to stop playing stupid games and put our nation ahead of gotcha moments.
There is a huge test ahead to defend Canadian values.
We need to be ready for the tough negotiations with the bully.

Not gonna lie, the Arc B580 is looking mighty tempting. Great work Intel on releasing a mid-range device at an affordable price! Now if only AMD and Nvidia would actually follow along...

Just came back from watching Moana 2 and honestly it was meh at best. Story was predictable and uncomplicated, original music for the sequel was mediocre, and overall it lost most of the charm of the first movie. Just more formulaic Disney movie making. 5.5/10.

Hold up...you mean the lifetime politician who has never held a real job outside of politics in his life doesn't actually stand by the values he spouts off constantly. I'm shocked!

Got this comment on my IG and thought it was worth sharing.

The mask is off with Pierre.

He's bragging he will vote against a GST Holiday for working class Canadians.

This is the same guy who voted for massive corporate handouts - $60 billion and counting.

Just finished watching Godzilla Minus One on 4k Blu-ray. Absolute masterpiece of a movie; visual and audio perfection! This is why physical media beats streaming any day of the week.

Trump's threats are just that, threats. Any tariff he puts on Canadian goods hurts US consumers and drives inflation. The orange clown isn't that dumb, this is just political posturing from the US circus.
#politics #canada-usa #trump #tariffs
Trump's threats are an attempt at economic bullying.

I've dealt with bullies all my life.

And, the way to deal with them is to show strength.

I've called for Canada to establish a Jobs War Room, to protect Canadian workers and families.

Protecting good, Canadian jobs has to be the priority.

The unfortunate truth is that the Conservatives do know what the truth is, they just don't care. Appreciate @charlieangus104.bsky.social for speaking up in defence of the CBC, but at the end of the day they're happy to keep on ignoring the truth so long as they're ahead in the polls.
You simply can't say this loud enough. The Conservative playbook pulls much from Trump: attacks, not only on all credible media, but on truth & accountability, rage farming so you don't pay attention to what should enrage you, death of expertise so truth never sees the light of day.
The Conservatives are creating a swamp of media disinformation.
This is what elected Trump.
They have attacked CBC, CTV, Global, the Toronto Star, Canadian Press.
It is about undermining independent media that can hold politicians accountable.

Is it just me or do I find it disingenuous that seniors are complaining about the $250 tax rebates? Seniors already receive the most handouts from the government, while working Canadians pay for it with our income taxes! www.ctvnews.ca/canada/it-s-...
