Poilievre secured a seat, but first needs CSIS security clearance before handling sensitive intel—or even briefings on foreign interference. CBC spells out the absurdity: we’re meant to trust national security from someone who refuses the most basic vetting. #SaveTheCBC

Canada will never join the United States. Maine senator Joe Martin can go fuck himself.

A Maine politician sent Canadians an unprompted offer to join the US
Sen. Joe Martin, R-Rumford, wrote the undated letter focused on how British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba could seek admission.

Interesting how early this is! June 1933 -- around the time fascist #1 defaulted on WW1 Reparations I think, 'not much' else sts -- before Rhineland reoccupation, before he left League of Nations etc. [Why are fascists /always/ frowning?]

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression. Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h. Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either. For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.

A stable, democratic America was the lynchpin of the Western alliance and the international order Europe relies upon. The US isn’t that anymore, and it’s getting worse. The implications are massive, and still under-recognized, perhaps in part because they’re so big and unsettling. I second this:

Let’s make a planet in which nobody is starving. Let’s make a planet in which men and women have equal access to power. Let us make a planet in which no ethnic group has it over another ethnic group. Let’s have a planet in which science and engineering is used for the benefit of everybody on the planet. And my personal idiosyncrasy, let’s have a world in which we go to other worlds.

Hey fellow Canadians, you know that $20 billion in travel and tourism that we used to plow into the US economy every *year* by visiting America? Why would any sane person risk traveling to a thuggish, fascist country like Trump's America? Spend your money in Canada 🇨🇦 or in friendly, safe countries

This sentiment reflects the way my fellow Canadians feel about the US when I talk with them in person, too. Long after Trump's gone, the friendship & trust Canadians long felt for the US will be severely damaged if not gone, and I don't think it'll be restored. I'll never trust America again either

Many want Mark Carney to rush into a deal — any deal — with Donald Trump. Why his strategy of "ragging the puck" might be about to pay dividends... www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/13/o...

Canada isn’t losing the trade war — yet
Mark Carney won the April election in large part because Canadians trusted him more to deal with Donald Trump. Now, almost four months on, is their confidence being rewarded?

@charlieangus104.bsky.social I agree with you /and/ with Laura. We HAVE to find a better way. IMO the brutal reality of war in all forms is that some priorities have to be /temporarily/ subordinated to the goal of survival. The reason we fight is so that the 'subs' can can be priority #1 again.

This is not a fight about soyabeans and transistors. Trump is the front face of a right wing insurgency that has undermined the international rule of law. Canada is the front line standing up to his increasingly dangerous rhetoric. Here is my latest piece. charlieangus.substack.com/p/trumps-tar...

💯 likewise. Used to enjoy traveling in US. Never again. And to all the 'didn't vote for him / not my president' folks: your political $ystem is *broken*. It has been increasingly broken for a long time. Fix your electoral system, elect sane administrations, repeat for 20 years and then try again.
