Jasmine Mooney is the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks.

Jasmine felt as if she had been kidnapped — “thrown into some sort of sick psychological experiment meant to strip us of every ounce of strength and dignity.”

ICE lied to her, bound her in chains, seized every conceivable…

Mark Entwhistle, Canada’s former ambassador to Cuba, says Donald Trump is treating us the same way it behaves toward the regime in Havana.
Opinion: Could Trump’s bullying make Canada the new Cuba?
As the President speaks in the language of economic warfare, tariffs threaten to morph into an embargo against Canada. The Cuban experience might offer lessons

@mark-carney.bsky.social I am happy to read posts by our Prime Minister designate on BlueSky. But why are you also posting on X, the forum for right-wing drivel curated by Elon Musk?

“So Donald Trump thinks - THINKS - he can weaken us with his plan to divide and conquer. Pierre Polievre’s plan will leave us divided, and ready to be conquered, because a person who worships at the altar of Donald Trump will kneel before him, not stand up to him.”

In truth, the anger that is currently uniting Canadians is directed at Donald Trump and his yes-men, not Americans in general. But this clever song is popular nonetheless.
And, Canada will be here long after the stinking traitor is pushing up daisies. "We will Survive"

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

This is absolutely unhinged, even for Trump.

He’s going to tank the entire economy.

Trump wants Canada to increase its defence spending to 2% or even 5% of our GDP. At the rate he is seeking to destroy our economy, Canada’s GDP could fall enough that we reach that target with no new spending.

The only useful response to Donald Trump’s attacks on all his country’s friends is to punch back.
For the first time today, I heard a commentator on CBC Radio refer to the U.S. President contemptuously as “the orange man.” The anger growing to hatred of this man is stunning to observe.

5 things I cut this week:

- Stock value of Tesla (highest weekly losses yet)
- All SpaceX contracts outside US (starting w Carlos Slim)
- Safety of inland flights (keeps you grounded)
- The lines & numbers of #dogie 'savings'
- Laughter of a puppet cabinet.

Serve chaos, not money.

Hawaii would like their independence back and I think the world should have a meeting and grant it.

Also I believe Mexico is interested in a sizable portion of the western USA that there's an old claim for.

And turns out all states and Canada are actually stolen from people way before all that.
