Last week in Toronto: Elbows Up. Our burgeoning resistance. My thoughts and photos. 🇨🇦

A photograph of Torontonians holding sings and Canadian flags at the Elbows Up Toronto meeting of May 24, 2025. The signs read "Down with the Turd Reich," "Elbows Up Canada", and Back Off, Eh! NO 51st". In the background, the crowd is visible, seated in Metropolitan United Church.

Vance going to meet the pope, the pope -immediately- dying, and the conclave then -immediately- electing a new pope who’s pretty unknown except for tweets about how much he dislikes Vance, is some Shakespearean revenge drama and I am here for it

More on this very interesting new pope (and yes, if anyone wants to inform me about the imperfections of the Catholic church, I believe I am already informed on that front, thanks).

BREAKING NEWS💥: The Supreme Court of Canada has REJECTED Ontario’s appeal — and now the youth-led #Mathur v. Ontario case is headed BACK to court!

This is a game-changer for climate justice in Canada.

No more delays. It’s time for Ontario to face the music.

Pierre Poilievre just said his plan will be modeled after Stephen Harpers plan.

Wow just what WE DON'T WANT.

Vote for Carney or you will have Stephen Harper 2.0.

The consensus grows: "Donald Trump tried to crash the global economy with tariffs. It is hard to grasp just how historically, world-alteringly stupid this is."
Bruce Arthur: Donald Trump has pushed America into a golden age of stupid. Now’s Canada’s chance to be smart
It is hard to grasp just how historically stupid U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs are. Now is Canada’s chance to be smart and build new trade networks.

Brief from the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and more than 80 universities says arrests and deportations of student protesters create a “climate of fear” at universities across the country. This is a big deal—the first time universities have weighed in. knightcolumbia.org/documents/eh...

Lock him up. Not because he’s crook, a liar, a rapist. He is. Lock him up with good psychiatric care because his instability and fascism are hurting too many people. #elbowsup #canada

White House confirms to the CBC that, yes, they're increasing tariffs on Canada.
A White House official tells me the 10% baseline tariff does apply to Canada. I am seeking further clarity about whether this stacks on other tariffs, or how this will work. As soon as I know I will share.

So from my uniquely weird perspective after living in the UK through Brexit, being in India during Modi's demonetization, and living in Brazil when the real tanked during the Bolsonaro administration, I can confidentally say that Americans do not and can not understand how bad this is going to be.

Every damned word of this 4-graf brief, except “By WSJ Staff,” should scare the bejeesus out of you this morning.

www.wsj.com/livecoverage...
= WSJ Dollar Confidence Crisis Is Here, Deutsche Bank Warns By WSJ Staff The broad selloff in U.S. stocks and bonds, and the continuing decline in the dollar, represents a "simultaneous collapse in the price of all U.S. assets," analysts at Deutsche Bank said Wednesday. They warned that "unchartered territory" lies ahead. • Markets are dedollarizing, they said, citing the lack of evidence that investors are hoarding dollar liquidity- a dynamic that in previous market routs fueled Treasury and U.S. dollar rallies but this time is leading to declines in the prices of both. • The administration is encouraging the Treasury selloff, they said, in a bid to bring down U.S. asset valuations-a decision they said now is exposing the fact that "reducing bilateral trade imbalances is functionally equivalent to lowering demand for U.S. assets as well." • A financial war with China could lie ahead, they conclude, contending that "there is little room now left for an escalation on the trade front" and that "there can be no winner to such a war."

Who in the administration knew about Trump's latest tariff flip flop ahead of time? Did anyone buy or sell stocks, and profit at the public’s expense?

I'm writing to the White House — the public has a right to know.

The next phase of the Charlie Angus Resistance Tour is underway. Looking forward to getting back to Vancouver Island and Edmonton.
We are rising up the voices and bringing our nation together to fight tyranny.
