The latest substack from @charlieangus104.bsky.social draws attention to the idiocy of the lying, convicted felon in the White House...

Trump begging for eggs from a range of countries that he's either threatened to invade or insulted with his support for Russia.

Highlighted also is...

🧵
The conman from Mar-a-Lago promised to lower the price of eggs. Now he is going door to door in Europe begging for eggs.
In Canada egg prices remain stable. Here's my piece on Trump's disastrous handling of the crisis as avian flu threatens an even bigger disaster.

When there was a shitty job in the war it was given to the Canadians. We never flinched.
As the US threatens us and allies like Britain duck, we know where we stand. Defending democracy might be a thankless job but give it to Canadians.
We will get it done.

My favourite commentary since trump was elected. Worth every minute of watching just to take in all the 'stupids', but there's much more to it than just that.

Dear Mexico, Don't stop your tariffs on the US. Don't stop until the US agrees to return to the Free Trade agreement negotiated by Mexico, Canada and trump. Don't give trump the power to keep playing his assholian games.

You all need this right now. Canadians, because it will make you proud. Americans, because some of you will appreciate it. Other americans, because you need to know how incredible and strong and also pissed off we Canadians are.
You've been asking yourself "where is the Canadian guy"? But you knew he would show up just when we needed him.

Not all Canadians play hockey. Some us don’t even follow it ( except 4 Nations Playoff, of course!) But most of us now know what Elbows Up means. And Mike Meyers on SNL? He made sure we got the message. Kind of heroic, I think!

I hope @ianhanomansing.bsky.social that the first point you bring up is that annexation of another country is against international law. The rest of the convo follows from that, ex: why do you think it’s ok to violate international law? www.lawnow.org/annexation-a...

Canadians, CBC has fcked up & we need to stop a show from airing on Sunday. They are asking "What does Canada as the 51st state mean to you?" & airing to U.S. and Canada.
Disgusting and traitorous. Email, contact on social media,& go to this page and fill out the form.
