Last year, US lawmakers argued that a social media platform owned by someone close to an autocratic leader can be used as propaganda.
They were talking about TikTok.
For Canada, these concerns apply equally to the app formerly known as Twitter.
“That’s why it’s time to ban Twitter/X in Canada.”

Wow, the American right wing-owned National Post newspaper here in Canada sure wants you to not like Mark Carney today. It’s no surprise — as usual, they’re not being subtle about their bias.
That’s ok. Makes me even more sure he’s the right candidate to beat Pierre Poilievre. #CanadaStrong

Trump wanted to treat Gavin Newsom the same way as Zelensky when he flew out there. But Gavin met him on the tarmac and bodied him. And that was that. Because face to face, man to man, no bros around to back him up, Trump is the biggest coward on earth.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

You know which Canadian has done nothing useful to support Canada during Trump’s trade war crisis?
Pierre Poilievre.
Not surprising considering his record supporting Trump, MAGA & the extremist Trucker convoy, attacks on media, connection to Stephen Harper, and refusal to get a security clearance.

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.
