CANADIANS: Contact your MP NOW. Tell Ottawa to freeze the remaining 4,900 Draganfly drone options. Draganfly just announced a US$5M deal with Trump Jr.-connected Unusual Machines. No Canadian tax dollars for Trump's family. Cut Draganfly off. No compromises. No handouts to oligarchs!

"An American think tank published proposals to weaken Canadian unity, including supporting and financing the province’s sovereigntist party, the Parti Québécois... and to “weaponize” reconciliation between Canada and First Nations to “slowly nudge” the country on a path toward the end of history."

I agree with @althiaraj.bsky.social that throwing the airport privatization announcement into Carney's investment summit was an "own goal". youtube.com/watch?v=pmBP.... It badly muddled his "build Canada" message, because this has nothing to do with "building." #cdnpoli #canlab /2

I can see Canada has many American supporters. What we ask of you is simple. We don't need apologies, we need you to fight Trump and the GOP on your turf. Make sure neighbours have voter ID, drive them to polling stations, tell everyone why they have to vote, debunk the lies, dethrone Trump. VOTE!

The US claims Canada's tariffs on dairy are unacceptable. Facts: 1. The US exports over $1.1 billion annually in dairy products to Canada in 2025, 3x more than Canada exports to the US. 2. Virtually 0% of US dairy exports were tariffed in 2025. #Canada #tariffs

Absences have increased on a global scale, with illness the most common cause. Politicians have responded to decreased performance & ‘absenteeism’ by calling for attendance policies, based on the assumption that morality & discipline are at fault. Same old bias w/ no evidentiary basis. 🧵

Mexico Enacts Universal Healthcare - PopularResistance.Org
As Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum moves forward with a plan to enact universal healthcare for her country’s more than 130 million people, a longtime advocate for Medicare for All in the US called the development “both inspiring and frustrating.” “Inspiring because it shows what is possible,” Wendell Potter, a former insurance company communications director who has become a leading critic of the industry, told Common Dreams. “Frustrating because here in the US we are going in the opposite direction.”

Mark Carney: 
At this important moment for our country’s future, Canadians with a broad range of experience and perspectives are uniting to build Canada strong. I am honoured to welcome Marilyn Gladu today as the newest member of this government and our Liberal caucus.

In a time of global economic uncertainty, Canada’s success will depend on how we build ambition into progress and strengths into sustained advantage. Marilyn brings the practical, results-driven leadership this effort demands.

Having spent decades of her career in engineering and international business, she understands what it takes to create good jobs, strengthen supply chains, and ensure Canadian industry can compete in a rapidly changing global economy.

She has been elected by the people of Sarnia—Lambton–Bkejwanong in four straight elections since 2015, and repeatedly earned recognition from colleagues across Parliament for her proven willingness to work constructively across party lines.

I’m looking forward to working closely with Marilyn to build a stronger and more independent Canadian economy, meeting the challenges of a changing world with lasting opportunities for all.
