Makes me so sad. At least as American Millennial, there was a joke rivalry, but Canada were supposed to be our literal closest bro's in the world? The nicest people you could possibly meet. Like literally comically loving of Americans, you would NEVER do ANYTHING to hurt them.

Can confirm US immigration in Canada looks like a zombie movie, and I got to personally see like 12 security agents and three customs and border people totally by myself.

Why is 'capitulate' strategically wrong?
1--we now have allies; we can co-ordinate
2--capitulating to a bully on tariffs will lead to more lunch-money requests.
3--we can retaliate in smart ways; pushing our fingers into their self-imposed wounds to cause great pain. I don't pre-suppose failure.

4/ The hardest hit agencies are those that regulate industry, protect public health, and expand access to education. Meanwhile, conservative-leaning agencies remain largely untouched.
If this were about efficiency, we’d expect an even spread. Instead, we see clear ideological bias.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Joe Biden is, above all, an institutionalist, and the fact that he was convinced to pardon Fauci, Mark Milley, the Jan. 6 committee, and his entire family should tell you just how lawless and vicious America is about to get

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵
In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.
We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.

A price on carbon emissions isn't unpopular because it's the wrong policy, it's unpopular because anti-gov't, anti-evidence, anti-climate critics successfully lied to Cdns about its effectiveness and its impact on their pocketbooks. Real leaders would fight back, not cave like simpering cowards.

Trump’s grand idea is to piss away the goodwill and friendship between our countries. If this is how they treat their closest ally and neighbour, America will soon be isolated in the world l.
"How should the Canadian government approach the US?"
As an ally: 28% (-20)
Cautiously: 27% (+8)
As a potential threat to our interests: 24% (+18)
On friendly terms: 14% (-11)
As an enemy: 3% (+2)
