Does this mean I might not have to apply for a residence permit/blue card/PR again and I could just… exist??

Listen, I love a California wine, truly. But your president wants to annex our country and is imposing ridiculous tariffs. Sort that out on your end and I imagine most Canadians would be happy to have you back. This one's out of our hands!

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

KENNEDY: If Canada came to the US and said, 'We're going to 0 tariffs on the US, all of them are off,' would you and the president go to 0 tariffs and let Canadian companies and American companies compete on a level playing field? BESSENT: Absolutely not

i just don't think you get to say "America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. But these are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us. That will never, that will never ever happen" in your election speech and then say stuff like this

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

This shit again. I hope Carney gets his elbows out of his ass and makes some actual innovative steps to better Canada instead of the same old (Conservative) policy playbook. Tired of being disappointed by literally every person with the tiniest bit of power. Do better.

If Mark Carney had told voters he planned to drop retaliatory tariffs in order to stay in Trump’s good books (as he just did today), Carney simply would not be prime minister right now This is another incredible flip-flop from a guy who appropriated “Elbows Up” as his campaign slogan

The pro(e)mise was: "President Trump wants Canada’s land, water, and resources. He wants to weaken us so America can own us – but we won’t let that happen."

I’ve always been frustrated that Canadians love to complain about things but never take steps for change (hello trade barriers). Marche makes so many valid points here and I hope whatever happens is closer to his vision than @jessebrown.bsky.social’s.

Tuned into Carney’s press conference just in time to hear him say this… First thoughts: how did my dad get his number? But also did those of us abroad vote disproportionately for the Liberals?

'Twas two days before the election, And all through Poilievre's riding, The reporters were muzzled, So as not to ask "What is he hiding?" Wokeness was banned, All follow-up questions too, In hopes that his slogans Were all you believed were true I'd continue but that requires security clearance

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.
