The push to pretend Poilievre and Carney are similar in both policy and competence when they are clearly worlds apart in the latter and substantively different in the former is why we need to ban foreign ownership of Candian media.

Minister MacKinnon and I just spoke with union leaders from across Canada to discuss the impact of U.S. tariffs. Our message to workers: we need you, and we will be there to support you.

We will get through this crisis, and together we will build the strongest economy in the G7.

What Pierre Poilievre leaves out here is that the previous Conservative government cut military spending to 0.99% of GDP, and the liberal government was investing heavily in the military, and was on track to have it up to 2% by 2025 until the pandemic hit

JD Vance says Canada should spare him our "sob story" about being good allies.
We sent so many young Canadians into Afghanistan to help the United States in THEIR war.
A war THEY lost.
We paid a huge price and will never forget the sacrifice.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

the funniest (?) part of this video is he starts rambling about China and Russia and how Canada is in danger from them even tho there’s one country I can think of that has been prominently threatening annexing the entirety of Canada recently and hmm wonder which nation that is
Trump on Canada: "I spoke to Governor Trudeau ... they don't have military protection, and you take a look at what's going on out there ... people are in danger ... they need our protection."

Mark Carney 🇨🇦 - Canada's economy is poised to surpass the USA's despite looming trade wars. Nations worldwide are eager to increase trade with us. With the right leadership, Canada can capitalize on America's downward spiral!

That our biggest newspaper chain is foreign owned was probably never a good idea. But as we face an erratic US president it becomes more urgent to ask:

If Postmedia needed to choose between what’s good for its American owners and what’s good for Canada, what would they choose? How would we know?
Nationalize Postmedia
…and then sell it. But we can’t let Americans own it anymore.

Donald Trump says he loves Canada.
That's why he wants to destroy our nation.
In Canada our kids don't worry about being shot at school.
Our families don't go bankrupt if they get sick.
And Canada sure as shit doesn't let convicted perverts take over our government.
What do you think?

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.

It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.

But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.

Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Read that again: **116** times.

Why are we STILL having to argue the case for rewilding??
