Proud Canadian!
Burns’ words hit hard today. When federal power crosses lines and communities feel the weight of oppression, people will always rise for freedom and accountability. Liberty’s in every blow. #Minneapolis #ICE #Accountability #CivilRights #RobbieBurns
There is a reason that Scots all over the world celebrate Robbie Burns.

By oppression's woes and pains!
By our sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!—
Let us do or die!

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Canadians took massive casualties fighting the American war in Afghanistan.
Trump says we never stepped up. JD Vance says he's sick of our "sob stories".
MP Jamil Jivani is best friends with Vance. Will he deliver a simple message from Canada?
Trump and Vance can go F--k themselves.
Never again.

Trump’s 100% tariff threat on Canada is pure bluster. Courts would block it, and both parties would end up pushing back hard. Canada doesn’t need to panic over this. #Canada #CdnPoli #USPolitics #Trade #NATO #CDNUSRelations
Trump threatens Canada with 100% tariff over possible deal with China
U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said he would impose a 100% tariff on Canada if it makes a trade deal with China and warned Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that a deal would endanger his c...

Europe shouldn’t get too relaxed about Trump’s Greenland/NATO “deal.” He backed off force and tariffs, but his record of flip-flops and erratic rhetoric means nothing is stable or guaranteed. Leaders must stay vigilant — his word isn’t honourable.

Good to meet with Prime Minister Kristersson today, to discuss the growing partnership between our nations.

We’re leveraging each other’s strengths — in clean energy, critical minerals, and defence — and working together in shared missions, like bolstering security in the Arctic.

Keep up the good work!
Canada has what the world wants — and in this era of profound change, we’re a strong, reliable partner with ambition to build.

At the World Economic Forum, I met with business leaders from across sectors and nations who want to build with us.

No - we don’t! The reciprocal trade over the years has been helpful to our economy but now with new trade deals there is a real shift in our economics - for the better.

He’s still speaking in Davos—and it’s just getting more unhinged. Rambling, incoherent, self-obsessed. At this point a full mental-health evaluation isn’t just reasonable, it’s necessary. US leaders can’t ignore this.

Listening to Trump’s Davos speech and stunned more people in US politics aren’t alarmed. It’s rambling, factually wrong, propaganda-laden and all about him. He needs help. If they want to save their country use the 25th! Outside the US, no one takes him seriously. #Davos2026 #USPolitics #Leadership

Right now, in this moment of geopolitical volatility, we will stand on guard for our country by diversifying trade partnerships and bolstering national defence and security. The work is urgent and we will not retreat.

The world has changed—Canada needs allies on our soil as much as we support them abroad. European NATO basing here would strengthen Arctic defence, deter unilateral threats, and reinforce true collective security in the North. 🇨🇦
Do we have any plans for this?

Mark Carney’s Davos speech was powerful. Canada is stepping up as a real voice for democracy, stability, and freedom on the world stage. It’s absolutely worth a watch. Proud of Canada. 🇨🇦

Have we really gotten to the point where Canada is modelling how we’d respond to a hypothetical U.S. invasion? It’s wild this is even being discussed — shows how much the world and our defence thinking are shifting. 🇨🇦 #Canada #Defence #Geopolitics

Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion
Armed Forces envision insurgency tactics like those used by Afghan mujahedeen, sources say. But officials and experts stress a U.S. operation is unlikely, and the scenarios are conceptual

Canada needs to move on the Gripen/GlobalEye plan. It’s time to cut our dependence on the US, deepen European partnerships, and finally protect the Arctic with the tools we need. This is how we modernize our forces and become a true NATO powerhouse. #NATO #ArcticSecurity

The U.S. isn’t worried about NATO defence—their proving the U.S. is acting outside NATO altogether. This Greenland push is aggression, not partnership. NATO must defend Greenland and Canada from U.S. pressure. #cdnpoli #NATO #Arctic

Canada should pursue Gripen fighters and deepen Nordic-North American defence ties. Partnering on Arctic security and supporting Greenland strengthens NORAD and protects our sovereignty. #cdnpoli #CAF #ArcticSecurity @saab #GripenFighter

Canada should be joining the other NATO allies for the military drills in Greenland to show our support and strength against the aggressive expansionist United States. Obviously this is an action most US officials and lawmakers do not support. #canadastrong #elbowsup #nato

Canada should seriously consider inviting European NATO allies to establish bases here. Shared defence strengthens our security, reinforces Arctic sovereignty, and is a deterrent against unilateral aggression—whether in the Arctic or places like Greenland. Collective security works both ways. #NATO

Haven’t posted much lately—been tuned into our election and the Stanley Cup chase. But let me just say: Canada deserves fair trade, not more U.S. tariffs. We punch above our weight—respect it.
