Article 40!
In the summer of 1760, three British armies converged on the city of Montreal. While their Indigenous allies made a separate peace with the British, the French surrendered the colony in exchange for guaranteeing certain rights for the colonists.

Rempel-Garner: "I got all excited I could bring my gun to Ottawa." Watching her exclaim "yay" & waving her hands about in excitement, exclaiming "it's a fashion gun case" & then literally cuddling it & holding it up against her face. Yikes. Never mind gun case, she's a bona fide nut case.

Itโs a time to read the room and the room is: Liberals have 169 seats and Conservatives have 144. Votes for another party may herald in a Conservative government and thatโs dangerous for womenโs rights and for negotiations with ๐บ๐ธ Saying this choice makes things โworseโ doesnโt change the room.
I have close friends along the political spectrum and have voted that way, too. We have a choice between PM Carney or a PM Poilievre and the latter is dangerous for Canada. Iโll always ask PM Carney to do better if needed but wonโt take cheap shots. Diminishing this as โpartisanโ is unfair.
Yes, we can object to criticisms of PM Carney that are factually inaccurate or factually skewed. And whatโs with the โdonโt make it Carney or Poilievreโ? Who is PM is THE issue. Iโll critique this government but not on BS rage. These are dangerous times - letโs not pretend otherwise. #Canada
And PM Carney isn't just a brainiac. He runs marathons, was a goalie on hockey teams and can bust some great moves to the rap-rock music of Down With Webster. Now THAT is what I call a well-rounded Prime Minister.

The Administration has uncovered absolutely incontrovertible evidence that a macroeconomist who was asked to give macroeconomic advice, responded by giving macroeconomic advice, while owning a house.

Every authoritarian regime is a bunch of bumbling, chaotic, fractious incompetents. That doesn't guarantee they will fail. They win when their opponents are also a bunch of bumbling, chaotic, fractious incompetents who don't take the danger seriously as an existential threat until it's too late.
There's still a lot of "oh he'll fail to consolidate a full-blown authoritarian regime," as if that means the threat can be dismissed, let's just keep going like we'll get our turn back in power soon enough. But that's entirely contingent on what we do now. There's no guarantee it won't go that far.
The constitutional framework isn't one issue among others, something you talk about but then move on to the details of whatever normal legislative policies you'd prioritize if your party wins the next election. Nothing else matters when you're losing the laws and institutions that let you do that.
For so long, things we'd considered rote platitudes were so universal they could be taken for granted as the framework within which we have normal policy debates. To affirm American principles, the Declaration and Constitution and Liberty and Democracy and Rule of Law, *is* the policy debate now.

Awesome!
WTF is I think the collective feeling in Canada. Just incredulous.
However, many people in the elite are unwilling to pretend things are fine and normal โ see Pritzker. I personally donโt have the energy to be in the closet as a person who is absolutely WTF about all of this. Whatโs happening is messed up and it is hurting people, the country, and our world.
Elites are chill because, deep down, they assume they can still buy their way out of the troubles, while middle/working class people depend more on functional public institutions. Plus, yes, fear of looking biased against one side, even if that side is authoritarianism
Many of you are asking me how confidential are the #ForeverCanadian signatures and if government officials will see them. They will be treated by Elections Alberta like voting ballots. Once counted, they will be destroyed. Government has no access to this information. #ableg #cdnpoli

Americans want to rise up against dictatorship We literally donโt know how to do it. Weโve lost that muscle memory since 1776 You do it by making the oppressor shitheads afraid. Threaten what they love more than anything: Their money A general strike. Donโt work. Donโt buy *guns unnecessary

I canโt wait to find out how many signatures are gathered - in my fantasy head, I think it will be 100,000 over the required 300,000.
If you live in Alberta and value Canada sign this petition!

Anyone who thinks that Trump is going to sign a deal with Canada or make nice needs to wake up. If he is willing to treat his own people with such reckless violence he won't hesitate to go after us. Stay strong. Stay focused. Keep the boycott strong.
Lesson in how to be incredibly petty.

โAnd thatโs the way it wasโฆ a nation seen through the eyes of a poet, and recognized for the first time as something greater than a colony.โ ๐จ๐ฆโจ
Kipling didnโt live in Canada. But in that moment, through his words, he helped frame Canada as more than a land of snow and wilderness. He called her โOur Lady of the Snowsโ โ a country with dignity, pride, and a destiny of her own.
The poem struck a chord. Canadians embraced it, and it became part of the conversation about Canadaโs emerging identity at the turn of the century.
Lines from the poem declared: โDaughter am I in my motherโs house, but mistress in my own.โ For the first time, millions of readers in Britain and beyond saw Canada described not as a frontier, but as a nation in her own right.
So he wrote a poem, published in The Times of London, calling Canada โOur Lady of the Snows.โ It was both praise and prophecy. Kipling cast Canada as a mature daughter of Britain โ not just a colony, but a partner.
He saw a young nation standing proud, loyal to the Crown, but with its own character โ strong, resilient, and independent in spirit.
Most of the world still saw Canada as a cold outpost, a colony of the north A place of snow, lumber, and railroads, not of leadership But Kipling saw something different.
Now hereโs a story about a country finding its voice, and a poet who saw it before the rest of the world did In 1897, the British Empire was at its peak. Queen Victoriaโs Diamond Jubilee was being celebrated, and Kipling, already famous for his stories of India and empire, turned his gaze to Canada
It was during these years for crowd control that the RCMP provided riding crops to members (the crops hid a metal rod) instead of carrying a sidearm.
Sounds like a myth. But it happened โ and Canada is fairer because of it.
Though stopped violently in Regina by police, the โOn-to-Ottawa Trekโ shook the country awake. Their stand sparked public outrage, shaped Canadaโs labour movement, and laid the groundwork for modern social safety nets. The Punchline
The Fact: It happened. By June 1935, over 1,000 unemployed men had boarded freight trains, heading across the Prairies toward Ottawa.
And in a world full of division, thatโs a reminder worth keeping: sometimes the smallest communities make the biggest difference. ๐กโค๏ธ
Today you wonโt find much about Vegrevilleโs โBundles for Britainโ in textbooks. But ordinary Canadians, in a small town, gave what little they had โ and helped spark a movement that crossed an ocean. ๐๐
From fishing villages in Newfoundland to Toronto city blocks, Canadians sent hundreds of thousands of bundles. Britainโs Health Minister called the shipments a lifeline for war-weary families. ๐๐ค
They didnโt stop at one shipment. They kept going โ box after box, crate after crate. Blankets, clothes, and food crossed the Atlantic to families theyโd never meet. By 1941, the movement had spread across Canada. ๐ขโ๏ธ
The town of Vegreville, Alberta โ fewer than 2,000 people at the time โ organized one of Canadaโs first โBundles for Britainโ drives. Housewives sewed, farmers packed grain, shopkeepers donated, and even schoolkids gave up candy money. ๐ฌ๐ฆ
In WWII, a small prairie town faced hardship. Food was scarce, jobs thin, and families had little to spare. Yet when Britain called for help feeding children in bombed-out London, this community answered in a way no one expected. ๐จ๐ฆโจ
They Say: In the depths of the Great Depression, angry workers climbed onto boxcars in Vancouver, riding east with nothing but fists and faith. They said they were going to confront the Prime Minister himself โ to demand work, dignity, and fair wages. Most thought it was just talk.
๐จ๐ฆ Canada has never been perfect โ but one truth runs through our history: We stand against tyranny. From fighting fascism in WWII, to building peace around the world, to defending rights at home โ Canadaโs strength is in choosing freedom, not fear.
Just disgusting, he cannot step away from the trump playbook Some people never learn

"The world is changing rapidly. The largest economy, the United States, is fundamentally reshaping all of its trading relationships. ... And the changes in U.S. policy go beyond tariffs. ... What's going on is not a transition. It's a rupture. And its effect will be profound." โ Mark Carney ๐จ๐ฆ PM
Another reason Iโm a little mystified by all that โElbows downโ garbage ๐ I keep thinking of that line he used about โI take note of the Presidentโs comments. I donโt take direction from themโ ๐
