This is the Second Sons, white nationalist group in Kamloops, BC where they gathered near the former Kamloops Indian residential school at Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc Nation. This comes three days before Canada’s National Day of Truth & Reconciliation. #cdnpoli

A great illustration of the way social media has essentially shredded society’s informational immune system: The USSR spent a fortune trying to spread conspiracy theories, without success because they couldn’t crack newsrooms. Today, you can reach the globe with a post that costs $20 to make.

The U.S. owes $40 trillion in debt. Everyone has an opinion about why. But there’s one question you almost never hear asked: Who’s actually getting paid?

USTR is carrying some heavy buckets of water these days. Recall (per USTR), only 2 countries retaliated against Trump tariffs: 1) China; 2) Canada. This presser suggests USD$30B in forthcoming tariff relief for imports from China. On Tuesday, ~$1B in booze from Canada will banned from import by US

I want to thank @perreaux.bsky.social and @ippr.org for their transparency, thoroughness and honesty. The world has become infinitely more complex to navigate. Mistakes happen. Acknowledging and explaining them builds trust. "Trust cascade" is a great expression.

What I love about this video is he is focused on OWNERSHIP. Who owns the company. Who builds the wealth. Who grows the value of the asset. Ownership matters. Why are Canadian crown corporations and well regulated oligopolies still misleading customers? Competition Bureau please!

I'm glad Carney got there. I was definitely worried for a while. The real heroes of the piece? Canadians. And maybe Wab Kinew. The villains? MAGA. And the many powerful Canadians who wanted to submit so their trips to Florida wouldn't be inconvenienced. And who said it was really all our fault.

Funny that I hope Hoekstra, MAGA and the rest of this gangster regime will feel unwelcome in Canada for the rest of their lives. And I hope the Canadian quislings will develop some sense of self-awareness, understanding of history, and feel shame.

The Trump crime family, Vance, Bessent, Hegseth and the rest of the gangsters, billionaires and enablers running America tried to destroy Canada, and were enabled by elite institutions of American power like the Washington Post and tech oligarchs. We will remember for 1000 years.

Found near Caen, France, close to where Canadian forces fought during Operation Totalise in August 1944, this helmet is a powerful reminder of the Canadians who gave their lives for Europe. Today, it has began its journey back home.

I want to highlight segments of #MarkCarney ‘s speech at the EU today. Apparently Carney wrote the speech. Which is not the case for most leaders. It can’t be described as anything but historic. These clips are not necessarily in order. This part was especially important & powerful. #cdnpoli

You should read the whole speech from @mark-carney.bsky.social. Canada is trying to build a new geopolitical and economic order with Europe, democratic allies, and all people striving for peace, pluralism and respect for human rights. It's going to be a wild ride! www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/spee...

I expect that there will be an overwhelming focus on Carney’s speech today, so most Canadians will miss this flattery from MEP Boeselager, which, uh, was quite something.

"Carney is in fact handing an incredible boost to the EU’s global standing on a silver plate. He is providing the political imagination and vision that no one in Europe currently has. It would be extremely foolish and strategically illiterate for the EU to not grab that opportunity"

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

Being apolitical is a political stance. Defending the status quo is a political stance. Refusing to take a side IS TAKING A SIDE. Every time you refuse to take a side, the oppressor wins.

Lot of contradictions surfaced in this article. It made me reflect on how deep integration seems to have shaped Canada’s negotiating style and how Canada gave away several things for absolutely nothing. Things that don’t seem to be coming back.

Hardball stance with Trump sets Canada apart from all the trading partners that acquiesced

People who have dealt with the President think Carney has recognized that readily giving in doesn’t necessarily result in better treatment

I find it infuriating and unnerving how liberals are unable to recognize brownshirts when they see them, or understand that brownshirts exist along a separate axis of public mobilization than “protesters,” which is how they’re always described. These aren’t protesters, they’re paramilitaries!
