Fucking terrifying: "We're monitoring it, we're evaluating it and if some of it becomes election interference then America will respond to it," Hoekstra said. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This is a tough election for pro-housing voters—we don't even have 10 good council candidates, let alone a solid mayor choice. But here's what I can say: please do NOT vote for Stephanie Smith (Green). She consistently opposes the pro-housing movement and will only set the city back.

cbc.caTrump trade adviser says Canada will 'pay even more dearly' if 'you interfere' in U.S. midterms | CBC NewsOne of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade advisers is threatening repercussions for Canada if it "interferes" in the upcoming midterm elections — though it's not clear what he anticipates the country...

And there it is: The regime is now openly suggesting Canada could try to interfere with the midterms, with the threat of severe repercussions. Not-so-subtle hint here that this monster isn't talking about tariffs. This is a terrifying escalation. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

View full thread

Here's the narrative being spoon fed to ≈50 million MAGA: 1. Canada has long taken advantage of us, now they must pay. [Counter-tariffs introduced] 2. Canada is trying to hurt our economy 3. Canada is trying to influence our elections ----> YOU ARE HERE <---- 4. Canada is a hostile foreign actor

Our Prime Minister is going to be getting daily briefings on this. I want to know where that whole-of-society civil-defence training program plan went. Tonnes of excitement and interest, then nothing.

Yesterday the regime promised to deploy the NSA and other defence intelligence agencies to "identify, disrupt, and neutralize foreign interference in U.S. democratic processes." If these elections don't go the way the regime wants, it's going to be looking for someone to blame.
