No matter what happens in the upcoming midterm elections or even the 2028 presidential contest, Canadians will not forget how they are being treated right now — or how some Americans react when we fight back, @maxfawcett.bsky.social writes.

Time for some election fact checking on Toronto's water budget. We heard a claim from candidate Brad Bradford today that implied that the City's capital reserve fund for water infrastructure like sewers, pipes, and water treatment is unnecessary. This is dangerous and short-sighted. 1/4 #topoli

"Vaccines work" isn't a political statement. "Immigrants do not increase crime" isn't a political statement. "Climate change is real" isn't a political statement. "Genocide is bad" isn't a political statement. Stop neutralizing the power of facts by framing them as "politics." Reality matters.

I’m not sure if even those Americans who are full-on fighting Trump, MAGA and the GOP can fully understand that the rest of the world looks at 37% STILL supporting the most obviously and completely corrupt, moronic and power-mad leader as evidence that the United States can’t ever be trusted again.

If you’re in a position of power, telling Canadians you still like them isn’t “standing with Canada”. Taking your supposed issues to your own country’s leadership and/or openly opposing their actions by making a public statement would be “standing with Canada”, but nobody’s doing that. /3

Trump says he's also looking at banning the Washington Post, calling it a "crummy paper" and "disgusting." Anyway, good job, Jeff Bezos! It obviously was worth losing all those scubsribers and turning your opinion section into MAGA-lite, only for the president to continue to call you "fake news."

One of Canada's advantages is that we know a lot about the US. We follow their news and politics, get their TV channels, travel there. But Americans know nothing about us. They don't understand our politics, history or values. They constantly misjudge us, but we understand them completely. #cdnpoli

It would be helpful too if they bothered to understand our long history of fighting off American overreach and aggression. This isn't some quirk Canadians developed in the last decade.

“How do we get back to normal?” isn’t thinking big enough. In many ways, it’s counterproductive. Normal wasn’t working for a lot of people, and it wasn’t the right way forward.

Sorry, but I'm rooting for Canada in this insipid trade war our president started. At least they know how to treat a petulant child like Donald Trump.
