News junkie. Democracy must be protected. Fairness for all. Proud Canadian. I'd rather be driving a Titleist. Habs fan. My one claim to fame: I was in the Montreal Forum when the Habs won the Stanley Cup in 1993, a night that deserves its own anthem.

This is not a drill. This is not another midterms. This is the ten days where we decide whether we spend the next two years fighting or surrendering. I know what I'm choosing. Vote early. Flip the House. Flip the Senate. VOTE BLUE! #BlueWaveIn8Days

I asked AI how long it takes to go from point A to point B on specific city bus route. Its answer was absurd. Google Maps made a lot more sense. I told AI it was wrong, gave the evidence and it said "Sorry". They're spending how many trillions $$$ on this junk & someone wants to put it in weapons?

Just watched an Oval Office presser thing that Trump likes to do, with him sitting at his desk, 'cause he's too decrepit to stand, and off in the corner, the last bald penis on the left is Steven Miller. He's like 4 foot 8. A tiny little fucking schmeckel . No wonder he's such a little prick.

Hey American friends. Aren't you tired of the rich powerful players tilting your elections to the same (GOP) side & away from "one person, one vote": Citizens United, Oligarchs, Musk, Putin, MAGA, dark money PACS, gerrymandering states, ICE, DOJ, etc. At one point, don't you gotta say: Enough?

I read that Trump's obsession with hurting #Canada stems from lawsuits he lost when he was developing properties in Canada. He tried the crap he gets away with in the US (stiffing suppliers & employes), but I understand that the judge(s) slammed the door on him in Canada. Can anyone confirm this?

Watching the Québec election results tonight. Seeing the PQ candidates interviewed, not a word about a referendum. But if they get a majority, from tomorrow on to the next 4 years, all they will ever talk about is the referendum. Hypocrites.

Do Americans not worry that Trump has been compromised by Nat Hart, who has no security clearance, may well be working for a foreign government & seems to completely control an old man? Like really, why aren't Americans up in arms about the possible national security threats of this "relationship"?

One big propaganda lie that MAGA spreads is that the US has protected NATO militarily. The US has spent huge sums on defense, it's true, but the vast majority was to buy stuff from US defense contractors or establish foreign bases to protect US power. The US has not defended anyone else since WW2.

Go ahead Trump, do it. Pull the plug on trade with the EU. Also, lace up your skates & take on Carney one-on-one at centre ice. You can't even skate from your own bench to centre ice without falling and not being able to get up. We dare you. Go for it! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

I've been noticing a shift in messaging on X in the past few days. The MAGA posse are telling Canadians "It's just Trump, it's not us, once he's gone all will be chick & swell again." Don't believe it anymore than the frog should have believed the scorpion. It ain't just Trump, it's their system.

The key point: MAGA ratings sinking in districts deciding the house. We can override their radical redistricting IF we do the work. Please volunteer today with your local @indivisible.org chapter (and I’m agreeing with those who don’t call it “GOP”—nothing grand about that party anymore.)

In Canada Diesel is above $2.50 CDN per litre (about $6.75 per US gallon in US $) - thanks to Trumps unilateral Iran disaster. Inflation will explode since as Jimmy Hoffa said "If you got it, a truck brought it to you" & trucks run on diesel. Americans, don't wonder why the world now hates you.

Trump is ready to cancel Canada 'cause he feels that we charge too large a tariff on poison US milk sold to Canada above a threshold - that has never been achieved. But he is ready to give 40,000 2,000 lb bombs to Israel, free, which will cost almost $3 billion to the US taxpayers. Make sense?

As a Québecois, I sure as hell hope that Québec gets with the program and allows a new Energy East and drops all the interprovincial trade barriers. $15 billion of equalization payments are at risk and the rest of Canada has just about lost patience with the petulant and never satisfied Québec.

I'm Canadian. We've booked 2 trips in the next 8 months that will cost about $40,000 US. The trips will be in Europe & Canada. In the past, we would likely have spent about half that in the US. But no more because of the attacks by MAGA on Canada. Thanks for opening our eyes to better destinations.

I occurs to me that one of the big differences between Canada and the USA is that Canada works to establish and develop alliances, old and new, while the USA works to break them.

Another day, another new opportunity for Canada. A secondary benefit is that this, in a way, allows Canada to act as somewhat of a diplomatic bridge between (regrettably) post-Brexit UK & Europe, which is a way to give them "un retour d'ascenseur". Go Canada! ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/canada-...

Canadians now have country of origin reflex and avoid US products. What is likely missed by US companies is that the aggression by the US against Canada has attracted global attention. Based on comments I've seen, many people around the world also intend to shun US products. Reputation matters.

Are you ready for 7% mortgages? Thanks again to the GOP for allowing Trump to attack Iran and blow through any sense of fiscal restraint. 40 trillion in debt. Tabarnak! The self-proclaimed King of Debt - elected twice to lead the most powerful country in history. WTF? www.wsj.com/economy/hous...

Watching a 1967 video of the Buffalo Springfield protest song "For what it's worth". Even in the deepest depths of the Vietnam protest era, there was nothing like ICE.

I don't want to offend anyone, & please don't flame me if you disagree, just say 'I disagree but whenever I look at a profile that includes words like 'Strong Christian', 'Working for Christ' or 'Living my faith' - I completely disregard anything this person writes. Am I alone, or wrong? Thanks.

MAGA could have had an unprecedented fortress North America that would have been the most powerful in the history of the world. But of course the MAGA way is to exert their stupid dominance on everything within their reach, which will result in a divided North America, and a stronger EU and China.

The Canadian approach to the conflict with the US is clearly getting under the skin of MAGA, because the trolls are out in full force insulting #Canada & Canadians. If the approach wasn't working, they would be trolling Democrats given the upcoming mid-terms.

Lots of bitching from MAGA on Canada's tarrifs on US dairy. Bottom line: we don't want US diary because it is full of chemicals and growth hormones that Canadians don't want to ingest or worse, to let our kids ingest. The US population are just a gullible and clueless consumers of US pharma shit.

Why aren't the Democrats & the media reporting on how Howard Lutnick's sons are making millions on a secondary tariff refund market? Fraud and insider exploitation can only occur if good people look the other way.

I love to see the MAGA trolling of #Canada on X. It shows that Canada's strategy against the US' tariff wars and 51st state bullshit & disrespect is effective and getting under their thing, cowardly skin.

Impressive support posts for Canada - other than the usual MAGA trolls - on X. Anyone who seems the least bit rational is firmly supporting Canada versus Trump. We'd really like to see the obese, corrupt bastard lace up a pair of skates and take the gloves off with Carney at centre ice.

I know there are some #Canadians who engage in Québec bashing. But I think Québec's fight to ensure the survival of its culture while surrounded by a sea of 400 million anglophones may now resonate with many Canadians. Québec has a saying "Maitres chez-nous", which means "Masters in our own house".

My take on the #Canada US trade situation. The big ticket stuff that Canada sells to the US, the stuff that's shipped by pipeline, electric grid & 150 rail-car trains have been completely exempted by Trump. It's the manufactured products that he's attacking, but we can sell those to other countries.

I'm going on two big trips in the next 12 months. About $50K worth. Not a cent in the US. Pre Trump 2, I would have spent about 80% of that in the US. I also look at country of origin when I buy retail and now avoid anything US. I have no interest in supporting the US economy ever again.

Two snake oil salesmen walk into the Oval Office. "We've got this thing sir. It will make you famous, but will kill 10,000 people in Africa & pollute the water supply of the country. You will make at least $100 million on the deal. Can the deaths be traced back to me? No. 200 million. Sold".

Love this from X: "The whole world is waking up to the fact that the US population is only 4% of the world’s population and that if the 96% work together we don’t need the US. By the time the Yankers work this out it’ll be too late for them. America First = America Alone." MAGA is alone.

The saying on car license plates in the Québec province of Canada reads (in French): "Je me souviens", which in English is "I will remember". The statement goes to a battle the French lost to the English in 1759 - 267 years ago. Canada does not forget - ever. And we will never forget fucking MAGA.
