Hi.🙋🏻‍♀️ Typical woke Canadian liberal here - supporting the candidate that will steer us THROUGH Trump’s regime vs. INTO it. Love BlueSky for news/knowledge sharing but miss having a private space for community. *Just* starting this from zero 0️⃣ but we can grow it! Also #MarkCarneyforPM

Perk number 1,500,870 of being Canadian. And it’s a big one. 🙌

For the love of 🇨🇦, vote! 🔴 Don’t take our democracy/voting privilege for granted. Don’t be the “sit this one out” crowd or the “throw away vote” crowd b/c you’re not wanting a majority govt or you’re relying on polls as a substitute for voting. Do right by Canada. NO REGRETS! ❤️ 🇨🇦

Alberta, where a former provincial Progressive Conservative deputy Premier endorses a federal Liberal because he understands perfectly well that the CPC is neither progressive, nor conservative. Be like Thomas Lukaszuk. Vote Liberal. Vote for Mark Carney. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

It is hard to express, without resorting to expletives, how utterly stupid it is to suggest that the United States, world's richest economy with a population of 334 million, should have a bilateral trade balance of zero (no trade surplus, no trade deficit) with every country in the world.
I want to note again how completely insane you have to be for your goal to be a “bilateral trade balance of zero” with every country. Just nutso.

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. Canada’s watching too! 🇨🇦 ❤️

Can you imagine their call?
Donald: I'm going to ruin 🇨🇦 economically using tips from my 1987 book Art of the Deal…
PM Carney: <Stares at his PhD diploma in Economics hanging on the wall and takes the half hour of Donald's rambling to reflect on his leadership of two G7 nations as a crisis economist>
Our Canadian Prime Minister The Honourable Mark Carney. 🇨🇦 “I take note of the president’s words. I do not take my direction from them.” #PMMarkCarney #CanadaStrong

“Tariffs are a tax

This journalist is the only serious person that was invited to the chat - does not reveal details that could harm (name of active CIA agent in chat, military secrets etc). When the White House already confirmed it’s true and you have all the receipts, but their spin is inevitable.
First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired.

Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

This angry amped-up unserious & unqualified POS (pushing up on his toes to wind himself up even more before he doubles down on the lies) is the epitome of this administration. They take responsibility for nothing & get loud+angry to overwhelm while spewing more disinformation. Chaos is all they have
The White House has already confirmed that the story is true.
Reporter: Can you share how your information about war plans was shared with a journalist?

Hegseth: So you are talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who has made a profession of peddling hoaxes
March 25, 2025 at 9:55 AM
Now he just looks like someone that texts military plans to a civilian at 11:44am level of sober.
Pete Hegseth, three days ago:

"Under the previous administration we looked like fools. Not anymore.”

Carve it into his career headstone.

Danielle Smith’s alignment and shared world views with Donald and PP are as deplorable as they come. She’s not even Maple MAGA as that would indicate some low level loyalty to Canada - she’s straight up MAGA. #MarkCarneyForPM

Danielle Smith admits Pierre Poilievre is aligned with Trump
March 23, 2025 at 5:34 PM
Oh, but apparently Donald doesn’t care who gets elected. He’d even prefer a Liberal PM. Yah, right. He & his crew have actively, loudly, & consistently supported conservative/far-right parties around the world. They’re intimidated by Mark Carney & what he brings to the table. I love that for them. 💅🏻
I have a burner account on “X” where I follow a lot of far right accounts. I want to direct your attention to some of #PierrePoilievre’s followers. Anyone who thinks this *isn’t* extremely alarming, isn’t paying attention. (Note the preponderance of paid &/or boosted 🇷🇺 disinfo influencers) #cdnpoli
March 21, 2025 at 11:34 PM
Art of the deal: Donald would like to let potential buyers know up front that they’ll be receiving an inferior product. Canada: we’re going with the Swedish jets, right?
Donald Trump is really, really stupid.

"Sell our allies toned down jets, by about 10%, because maybe someday they are not our allies."

Yeah you just 'toned down' sales about 100%, moron.

As I mused in a previous post, Donald’s pardons don’t apply at The Hague. Those participating in these acts must ask themselves how far they’re willing to go for this FOTUS.
Venezuela's government on Monday characterized the transfer of migrants to El Salvador as "kidnappings" that it plans to challenge as "crimes against humanity" before the United Nations and other international organizations.

To learn more about Mark Carney, please read these excerpts from his book - here and in the comments below the OP’s post where they provide more examples. 🙌 🇨🇦 ❤️
So I’m getting started reading Values by Mark Carney and I want to share some shots of how this book starts because it makes me blink in surprise.

If you haven’t read it, I think you might want to, because this is what Canada’s new prime minister was thinking about five years ago.

Allies? More like, we want what you have so we’re going to take it. Every country is rich in something of value. It’s how they exist. As well as things they lack/need. The audacity that b/c the U.S. doesn’t have everything they want, they can simply exploit/annex countries for it. MAGA = warmongers.
Burgum: "Ukraine, Greenland, our allies around the world, and here at home on our incredible amount of federal land, our gigantic balance sheet that we have here -- all of these are areas where we've gotta be more strategic in going after critical minerals."
