Did anyone need a panel of experts to tell us that Israel is committing genocide? The non-stop bombing, (hospitals incl.) the blockade of food, water and medical supplies, targeting of journalists, and creating food supply traps to target the starving - yes this is genocide.
When he dies, it won't be made public for days or weeks while the fascist regime scurry about getting their ducks in a row to continue the take over of America. And await orders from Putin and Netanyahu.
This man has no functioning brain cells left. American media just give him a pass, instead of calling out this ridiculous assertation.
Trump seems to think that the federal reserve is his personal bank account. Stiffing the troops is his natural instinct to protect his money. It's how he's operated throughout his life, stiffing investors, contractors, anyone who works for him.
It sure is. #abpoli #cdnpoli
Rewriting history and erasing heroes is the how the Nazis work. They can't acknowledge that someone who isn't white can be a great and courageous human being.
PM Carney should make her an honorary Canadian.
For countries with Russia on their border, it's a smart approach to make sure your military and your citizens are always on alert to the potential of invasion. In Canada, we now have a Putin fanboy who in his delusion could mount an invasion. We too must be ever alert and prepared.
O'Toole seemed to be a decent, reasonable guy, but that obviously wasn't what the old Harper gang wanted. Now we're stuck with this guy.
Excellent idea.
Any politician with common sense would not be commenting on a case that's before the court and certainly not proposing to change the law before the facts of the case are known. He could've at least consulted with legal experts before jumping in, but he just wanted to rile up his base.
0 days since Alberta is a national embarrassment.
The problem is that European leaders think Trump is telling the truth. When Trump has a phone call, he always claims it was a good productive call, he lies. World leaders need to understand that Trump is in league with Russia. They own him. Look at his actions, not what he says.
You'd have to be living in a cave not to realize the planet is changing and heading for a disastrous future. World leaders aren't listening. They are too concerned about holding power, increasing power, and personal wealth. People don't want to change their life style to save the planet.
I think he meant crown fool.
Why do reporters not ask the one and only question Canadians want to know!!!!!! Why can’t weasel pee pee poo poo secure a simple security clearance? Ready to lead a great nation? Carlton didn’t think so! Most Canadians don’t think so 🖕 Only reform alliance conservatives sheep 🐑 think so🖕
When I was in school (many, many years ago), a book called Peyton Place was banned due to its sexual content. What did we do? Eager to read if, we pooled our meager resources and bought the book and passed it around. I hope kids in Alberta are curious enough to do the same.
Wow, I've never read a more perfect description of Trump's America and it's president.
Blame the Liberals for everything. That's his policy and it hasn't changed.
For now, Crown Royal is still made in Manitoba. Moving the bottling to the US is likely a tariff work around, but it could end up costing them many Canadian customers. If that happens, the production might be the next to go. I hope they rethink this.
In Ontario, the money will disappear like so many millions of healthcare dollars have disappeared before.
This is how much PP cares about the people of Canada. I can't imagine a political leader (except Trump and Smith) who puts political games ahead of helping municipalities with their housing crisis. His MP's are feeling the heat and they need to remove him as leader.
Doug Fords autism funding cuts have led to a 13 year old boy being kept alone in a concrete room with no windows while he is at school. #ontario #onpoli #dougford #whitby #frankdomenic🍁
Christian MAGAs should be familiar with the concept: "for whatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap", or Karma's a bitch.
Trump doesn't make deals. A deal requires that both parties give something to get something. With Trump it's completely one-sided. He makes a demand and you give in or be punished by ridiculously high tariffs. That's not a deal, that's extortion.
PP gets a rebirth and he can't even come up with new slogans. He must be so tired of repeating the same misinformed crap over and over.
I wonder if the audience participants are vetted before entering. Surely there must be some reasonable people in Lloydminster who wanted to have a say against these separatist notions. As to youth unemployment, they should be asking why employers prefer immigrant workers. Maybe they work harder.

In Canada, we've been very concerned about foreign influence in our elections from Russia, China and Indian, when the real enemy attempting to skew our elections is sitting on our border. The US owns most of our main stream and social media, which are heavily biased to right wing ideologies.
This video hit home for me. We are a damn great country and we should be proud of our accomplishments. That's one thing Trump has done for me. I'm no longer hiding my pride, but I'm loud and proud for Canada.
The brainless Trumpers find hearing about things like tariffs, cutting of gov't supports, genocide in Gaza, war in Ukraine, it's all too complicated to think about. But hey, changing the logo at Cracker Barrel, now that's something they can understand.
This is why it's so important to know and understand history. It's also why Trump and his Nazi administration are attacking museums and universities in an attempt to erase history. They don't want people to see where this repetition of history is leading.
Two words that they don't want to hear: Gun Control.
I also find it cowardly on the part of the CBC that they don't have a Bluesky presence that we could post to with our concerns. They obviously don't want to hear from the public on their biased reporting.
Second lie - Foreign Workers are taking the jobs of young people. Canada sees significant drop in arrival of international students and workers in 2025 - The Economic Times share.google/w87bCm5b9a3V...
Canadians have found that Canada produces world class wines and spirits. Why would we go back to purchasing American booze just to please Trump? If you want booze from other countries, there's plenty to choose from: France, UK, Italy, Australia, Chili, all great producers.
'No more statements of condemnation. No more “keeping dialogue open” to allow trickles of aid deliveries. No more complicity in ethnic cleansing & genocide. We call on every government in the world to urgently suspend trade and sanction #Israel NOW.' action.eko.org/a/urgent-no-... #Gaza #Palestine
I'm at a loss for words. This is so incredibly stupid. Has Smith and her people found children's books that will encourage them to be kind, empathetic, become life-long readers, be tolerant of others? If so, then burn them all. Jackass.
Netanyahu shows a careless disregard for human life by bombing this hospital. His reaction to this targeted strike, killing reporters and medical staff: Oops, we did it again. We'll conduct an investigation, led by the same people who bombed the hospital. The UN needs to step in and stop this, now.
It's horrific what these brave Ukrainian soldiers are having to fight through. Russia and Putin can't be allowed to to annex any part of Ukraine and Putin should be arrested for what he is doing. Slava Ukraini.
Putin, like Trump, seem to base their countries foreign policies on personalities. If they like the leader and see eye to eye, then the relations are friendly, but if they don't, watch out. Threats, unjustified tariffs, and eventually invasion could be on the agenda.
PM Carney always answers the questions. Some times the answers are a little too wordy for a sound bite and don't get a fair treatment in the media. Unlike Poilievre who doesn't answer, gets angry and abuses the reporter, ignores the question, or if all else fails, ends the session and runs away.
In the words of Forrest Gump: "Stupid is as stupid does". The reasons not to go to Florida, as well as any state, far outweigh the reasons to go. The US is fast becoming a pariah state.
It would have made daily headlines, it would have been the first question at every scrum, it would have filled hours of commentary and miles of opinion columns if the Liberals had tried to pull this stunt.
Great to see some real opposition to what's happening in DC. I hope your numbers swell into the thousands.
Russia doesn't need to hack US systems, they have a direct pipeline into whatever intelligence they want through their agent in charge, Trumputin.
Poilievre seems to be in the dark about what PM Carney and his gov't are doing. Maybe he should read this instead of getting his information from right-wing pseudo news outlets.
Those people are his base who mindlessly support him in all of his illegal and unconstitutional activities. They don't want to think; they want to be told what to do, how to act, who's bad, who's good and who to blame when they lose their job, their healthcare, and can't pay their bills.
The attacks make the news (political theatre). Conservatives, commentators, and those distrustful of Liberals and smart people jump at any chance to attack. PM Carney is walking a fine line with an unpredictable revengeful Trump who can't get over his anger with JT.
Considering how many stupid people voted for a convicted felon and rapist, I'd say the chances are pretty good that a lot of those stupid people will believe Maxwell.
When you're in prison for abusing children, you'll say whatever they want to hear if it will get you out. I'm surprised, considering her crimes and how other prisoners react to them, that she's still alive.
I can't imagine how Zelensky felt listening to this moron rattle on about people going out to diner and his golfing friend, while Ukraine is being bombed and his people are being killed. I doubt that's what he came to the WH to hear.
Oh, so it's in economy class where he meets those imaginary people he has chats with about the nasty Liberal gov't.
I grew up in cabagetown close to the Don. It used to be full of all sorts of trash, shopping carts, tires etc. Before the DVP was built we used to go hiking through the valley. One day, I fell into the Don, what a stink. I ran home, my mother threw me in the tub and scrubbed me nearly raw.
Ford is following the Trump playbook of diverting attention from failures. Talking tough in the news about taking on Trump, meanwhile, healthcare continues to be a hellscape, Ontario has the worst record for housing starts, education continues to be underfunded, and the Therme spa is a money pit.
The tariffs on CUSMA products should have been dropped. The US, in this instance, is honouring CUSMA and did not apply tariffs to those Canadian covered products. As Canadians we should continue to boycott American products, that's what is hurting the US the most, not the tariffs.
Ghislaine Maxwell, who wants a pardon, Ghislaine Maxwell, who wants a pardon, Ghislaine Maxwell, who wants a pardon, Ghislaine Maxwell... @andertoon.bsky.social
I had to laugh at how PP seems to think he could just tell Trump to remove the tariffs and he'd do it. He has no idea what it must be like to deal with this demented president who works on the whim of the moment.
Personally, I find Poilievre obnoxious and arrogant. However, we need to keep exposing him and the CPC for their right-wing ideology and Trump like policies. As distasteful as it is to see and hear him, we mustn't be silent. It's important that you shine a light on their dark side.
I guess the US factory isn't owned by one of Trump's donors. If they had been a big contributor, perhaps Trump might have said something, like it was an accident or a faulty missile to excuse his master.
Another attempt at intimidation and to keep those who don't agree with Trump's fascist gov't silent. He'll claim he had nothing to do with it; it's FBI business. Sure, we'll all believe that.
Very disturbing, yet powerful video. The victims must be heard and believed.
Please repost so we can have lots of protesters show up...thanks vt.tiktok.com/ZSA6wFYEx/
I wonder if Poilievre will make an appearance. This creep is PP's kinda people.
The Ninjas Turtles are planning to save the world.
The US needs more Gavin Newsom, more leaders willing to stand up to the fascist bully and fight for democracy.
It's a deal he can't make. More to the point it's taking time away from his favourite pastime: money-making grifts.
PEI FAIL ALSO! #cdnpoli Bonnie Crombie 🇨🇦 Housing starts in Canada from January to July 2025, compared to the same time in 2024: SK: +50% QB: +38% NL: +29% AB: +25% NB: +20% NS: +16% MB: +3% PEI: 0% BC: -4% Then there’s Ontario. ON: -25% ⬇️📉 Housing is unaffordable because Doug Ford has failed.
American business is feeling the pain of boycotts. We must keep up and increase the pressure. Trump will listen to business leaders, especially if they include a bribe.
Agree he hasn't learned from his mistakes, but neither have the voters in Battle River-Crowfoot. They had the opportunity to rid Canada of this invasive species, but instead they choose to let it spread with it's blatant lies and misinformation.
Russia has seen the weakness in the NATO alliance. They will place sanctions, freeze funds, supply arms, but won't put boots on the ground to defend Ukraine. Putin knows that when he breaks the security guarantee to occupy more territory, NATO will continue their efforts without committing troops.
Who did this??? 😆
As usual, he doesn't directly answer the question of what should happen to these soldiers. He goes off on a Liberal bashing tirade. The same old PP.
I can imagine the scenario where the PM got Air Canada's CEO on the phone and told him to make a f###ing deal. The gov't looks like we endorse paying poverty wages and not paying for hours worked. I'm not taking the blow back on your failure. Canadians support the union's stance, not yours. Do it.
So Trump believes slavery was good for business. He's paving the way to use immigrants as slave labour in agriculture, factories, anywhere that white Americans don't want to work because it's too dirty, too hard, and doesn't pay enough.
@bonniecritchley.bsky.social Very disappointed with the results last night. Bonnie you put up a good honest fight and so sorry that your community let you down. They couldn't see how the CPC was using them and counting on their inability to think outside the box, that they've been in for so long.
You make a valid point, but workers need protection from corporate greed and unscrupulous CEO's. Our system of allowing workers to strike isn't perfect but it is effective. When the public are inconvenienced the issue gets national coverage and gets resolved.
@mark-carney.bsky.social Extremely disappointed by this gov't overreach. Workers either have the right to strike. It's their last resort to force the company to the bargaining table. You took that away in favour of AC who has abused these workers for 10 years with poverty wages and unpaid hours.
It wouldn't be beyond belief that Trump would contemplate provoking a war with Canada just to avoid an election. In his demented brain, the loss of lives would be inconsequential to his maintaining the presidency.
Putin is not going to lay down his arms. He meets and talks on the phone with Trump, but it's just part of his game to stall and draw the war out as long as possible. He smiles and agrees to nothing. He has seen the weakness of Trump and the ineffective threats and sanctions of Ukraine's allies.
It's too difficult to manipulate mail-in votes, too many people involved and there's a paper trail to audit if there's problems. Voting machines are much easier to hack.
Wait for the gold escalator to take him up to his plane, since he seems to be struggling with the stairs lately.
Good ! The Liberal govt consistently choosing corporations & CEOs over workers' rights is becoming tiring ! @mark-carney.bsky.social @karinagould.bsky.social #CDNpoli #CanadaSky #Liberals #Canada #WorkersRights #AirCanada #Strike www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
I don't usually endorse anyone defying court orders, but sometimes the gov't oversteps and defiance is justified. Air Canada has been abusing the airline attendants for years with poverty wages and refusing to pay for all hours worked. AC knew if they complained, the gov't would step in. Disgraceful
WTF, I condemn Netanyahu and his gov't for their actions in Gaza, but to want a genocide of all Jews is really going beyond the bounds.
The White House has its priorities. It's shameful that they're so different from the rest of the free world's.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Dear Mr. Prime Minister. Pierre needs to obtain his Top Secret Clearance before he is EVER allowed in the HOC again should he win the seat tomorrow. It needs to be mandatory. He is a Threat to our Country.
This scheme is a huge money pit. Canada has to back away. Most scientists and engineers capable of creating such an elaborate defence system have been fired by Trump. Canada needs to look at the expertise that's left in the US.
Is there some kind of secret pedophile club with international members that swear to protect one another? Are all these right-wing old warmongering farts members? It does seem to align with their need for power and control.
Putin got what he came for: a show of his command over Trump, with no ceasefire or peace agreement and no further sanctions. Putin didn't even stick around to socialize with Trump over lunch. It was no thanks I'd rather eat on the plane than listen to your demented gibberish.
@mark-carney.bsky.social PM Carney, as Canadians make every effort to buy Canadian products and keep our money in Canada, it seems counterproductive to be spending Canadian tax dollars to support US owned media companies. They have proven to be biased and supportive of right-wing ideology. Stop it.
A total failure by Trump to attain any sort of ceasefire and no consequences for Putin to keep bombing Ukraine. Trump says it's now up to Zelensky. If anything, Trump has made it worse for Ukraine as Putin now sees how weak Trump's support really is.
Trump looks like the bratty kid who's been told to sit down and shut up, adults are talking.
Wow, the Minister did a very fast 180 on this. It's completely unfair. Air Canada knows the public is on the side of the union. Everyone who's ever held a job can empathize with employees forced to do unpaid work. There must be some labour laws being broken here.
Putin's self-satisfied smile says it all. He owned Trump again and on his own turf.
Rolling out the red carpet for the real ruler of America.
Air Canada cares more about giving money to their shareholders and top execs than they do about providing a living wage to their employees. Not paying for hours worked isn't something AC should make their sticking point. It's something every working person can understand.
