"We should be reviewing all of Canada’s economic relationships with Musk’s empire, from Starlink and SpaceX to Tesla and xAI." This is good stuff and a solid case against Xitter-posting before you even get to the increasingly proven fact that it's a lost cause as a place to share real information

If the Alberta NDP had any jam they'd go after this *hard* and call out the premier's ongoing campaign to turn Albertans into victims and whiners. That's not the Alberta of Lougheed, Notley...not even Klein. Instead, they'll probably talk about how these grievances are "legitimate". #abpoli

This is the part many Americans -- including the Bezosites at the Washington Post -- don't understand. Canadians don't see this just as a Trump thing. It's that America elected him twice, and the second time with an even bigger mandate. The problem we're addressing is America, not Trump.
