🇨🇦 I’m so proud of the incredible patriotism I’m continuing to see in response to Sir Orange of Douche attacking Canada. Kudos fellow Canucks! 🏆 #ElbowsUpCanada🇨🇦 #IsHeDeadYet

Me: So what's the strategy until the next election? Democrats: We're going to zoom in on pictures of Trump's bruised hand and post it on social media every day. Me: Uhh okay cool, what else? Universal Healthcare? Investigating corruption? Democrats: We're gonna zoom in real close on that hand.

🇨🇦 😂😂😂

TRUMP: “Have you seen the crowd outside? 22,000 people watching. We love you out there. They’re watching the Jumbotrons.” 📌 The entire population of Corinth, Mississippi, is approximately 14,000 people. The man can’t even lie right.

🇨🇦 Saw a great quote. “They can hardly afford crayons, how the heck are they supposed to be paying for THIS?!” MAGA morons will seriously believe anything that comes out of Trump’s mouth. Hillary was right. They’re a basket of deplorables!

🇨🇦 Fun fact: If you exclude energy exports like oil, electricity, etc., the US actually has a trade SURPLUS with Canada. In any event Trump’s confusing a trade deficit with the national debt. Trade deficit just means they bought more from us than we bought from them. He’s truly an idiot!

🇨🇦 Only in America! What, exactly, are the family supposed to do? Tell the kid not to be so talented? This would be a hilarious SNL sketch, if it weren’t so heartbreaking. He was “showing off”? He’s THREE. He’s doing his best, just like we encourage ALL kids to do. This is America at its most racist!

A Florida family says police escorted them from a youth soccer field after parents complained that their 3-year-old son, Nevada, was dominating games against older children. His parents say he scored multiple goals despite being repeatedly substituted.

🇨🇦 Not bending the knee is paying off. Now the WH is hungry for a trade deal with Canada. Hmm. I wonder if has anything to do with the massive economic damage Trump’s tariffs are creating for Americans? Only a douche like Trump could pick a fight with Canada. And LOSE!

CTV News Kitchener@ctvnewskitchener.bsky.social

Canada-U.S. talks gain more momentum ahead of midterms: sources - Multiple government and industry sources close to trade discussions between Canada and U.S. tell CTV News there is considerable appetite from the White House to strike a deal with Canada.

🇨🇦 Absolutely amazing. And in a surprise to nobody, Bolsonaro is calling for the results to be annulled. I assume that he got on the phone to Trump and asked for advice. Although, given that his father was convicted of attempting a coup, maybe it just runs in the family. Congratulations Brazil!

🇨🇦 Freedom of speech is a fundamental principle of democratic nations. That said, Trump called El-Sayed a jihadist and member of the Muslim Brotherhood at a Michigan rally yesterday. Doesn’t free speech stop when it becomes slander? Trump’s made these claims with no evidence whatsoever. His total…

…rationale is that being Muslim makes him a terrorist and incapable of being loyal to America and its Constitution. He really is the most vile person ever to be your president. The US has become this unrecognizable hotbed of hatred and racism. New slogan? MARA. Make America Racist Again. Shameful!

🇨🇦 Married her brother?! WTF is he talking about? He has completely lost the plot. His audience doesn’t even care if it makes sense. As long as they get the basic idea that he’s being hugely disrespectful to her? Massive applause!

Trump is smearing Ilhan Omar in speeches all over the country now because he is an Islamophobic bigot and he thinks that’s a winning message for Republicans

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

🇨🇦 CANADA 🇨🇦 @thisissimonking (IG) explaining in wonderful and colorful prose why its just not a good idea for #Trump to invade #Canada. Worth a listen, and quite true!!

🇨🇦 When he lets go of the cable you might lose sight of the car. It’s still there. Just moving so fast that it’s difficult to see. Watch very closely and you’ll see it zipping by at VERY high speed. So cool!

A 10 cm³ engine pushes a tether car to 330 km/h, circling a center pole on a cable. Light chassis, sharp aerodynamics and huge centrifugal force make it possible.

Obama went straight for the jugular! 🔥🇨🇦 He mocked Trump’s trade war against the terrifying “evil empire”… Canada! 😂🇨🇦 Apparently, America’s greatest threat is its neighbor with maple syrup, hockey, and universal healthcare. You really can’t make this stuff up! #VoteBlue 🔵 #USDemocracy

🇨🇦 I despise the disingenuous “just a question” bullpucky. It’s the mainstay of conspiracy theorists and Charlie Kirk types everywhere. The classic example is “have you stopped beating your wife yet-just a question”. Simply a way to slander folks and pretend naive innocence.

Brant Reeves@bireeves95.bsky.social

Maybe they read and understand the Teachings of Jesus…..

🇨🇦 Is anyone actually surprised by this? Did we imagine he’d suddenly become a normal human with a soul? Remember that he LITERALLY doesn’t care. He’s told us who he is many times now. Why are folks still surprised when he tells them AGAIN?!

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

🇨🇦 I’m Canadian, so maybe I just don’t get it. I saw that Trump wants Alaska to block the certification of the election if the Republican candidate loses. Umm. WTF?! Isn’t that literally the definition of election interference? Also, I thought that in America each State is responsible for running…

…its own election. How can the federal government even have standing to challenge ANYTHING in Alaska’s election process? Trump’s going to try to challenge the results of the midterms completely isn’t he? He’ll claim foreign interference, rigged voting machines or “I’m the president and I said so”.

🇨🇦 You know what else makes me uncomfortable? Thinking about slavery. The Holocaust. World hunger. Rape. And many OTHER things. But ignoring anything that makes me uncomfortable is the most COWARDLY thing I can think of. WTF is wrong with people?!

🇨🇦 I hadn’t heard anything about this. In fact I was really skeptical, so I Googled it. We actually have TWO spaceports under construction. One in Nova Scotia and one in Newfoundland and Labrador. The Nova Scotia facility is targeting launches starting in 2028. Let’s GO! 🇨🇦

🇨🇦 I love watching Trump audiences as they respond like teen girls at a boy band concert. They literally cheer blindly. “Then we’ll kill all of those Canadian geese invading our nation. You KNOW what they’re doing here. We won’t let it happen folks!” *crowd goes wild*

Trump: "We'll take care of Cuba on our way back from Iran ... those beautiful ships, they'll pass Cuba. We'll have one of them stop about 50 yards off the coast. They'll raise up their hands, and then we're gonna send Marco Rubio in."

🇨🇦 I have to keep reminding myself that there IS no “too low” for MAGA’s. The latest “WTF is wrong with you” story is out of Ohio. I’m sure most of you know it, but it certainly bears repeating. Vivek Ramaswamy is running an attack ad against his opponent. Normal so far. It features his opponent’s…

…mother telling voters her daughter is a liar. The monstrous part left out is that Dr. Amy Acton was raped repeatedly by her father in law. When she was 12 years old he was arrested and indicted. Acton’s brother confirmed her story. Dr Acton’s mother didn’t BELIEVE her. She was removed from her…

…mother’s care and the two haven’t spoken since. THAT is what the mother is referring to when she calls Dr. Acton a liar. Holy crap! Kind of important details, no? Seriously, the GOP have no shame and Ramaswamy has no soul. What is WRONG with these people? Of course, Trump says it’s a great ad! 🤦‍♂️

🇨🇦 Who exactly are “they”? And how are “they” imposing their desire to have you hate Russia for the wrong reason? I thought I hated Russia for invading Ukraine. I guess “they” really have me fooled. What a MORON!

🇨🇦 Most of the MAGAs behind him probably haven’t SEEN a hundred dollar bill! Notice they don’t seem to find this part of the propaganda very funny?
