Going on foreign soil and announcing, without *any* evidence that American elections are dishonest—simply because you are a lying sore loser—should be an impeachable offense. Presidents should not be allowed to intentionally undermine confidence in the US to leaders overseas.

Canada earned its first-ever World Cup point on home soil. And from coast to coast, Canadians watched together! ⚽️🇨🇦 Le Canada a obtenu son tout premier point à la Coupe du Monde sur ses terres. Et d’un bout à l’autre du pays, les Canadiens ont regardé ensemble!

I'm so tired of politicians like Smith and Poilievre who work to encourage Albertans and Canadians to be the worst version of ourselves I remember multiple news stories from 20 yrs ago when Albertans helped immigrant communities Now we have a premier who scapegoats them #ableg #abpoli

PM Mark Carney now has the highest approval rating of any Prime Minister in Canadian history and it’s one he earns every single day by working hard, speaking truth to power and being the best of who we are as a nation. 🇨🇦

Authoritarianism is rising because our democracy was failing before Trump. When pro-democracy forces take back power, we can’t just restore the status quo. We need to change a political system that gives oligarchs a veto over working people. We need a new democracy.

I’m so angry about Poilievre’s comment about “fake” refugees. I’ve had the privilege of working with refugees in different capacities and they have gone through more and are more courageous and resilient than I or anyone I know could dream of being. It’s so shitty to say. 😢🇨🇦

The check out clerk at the grocery store just asked me how the hockey game went. When I told her we lost in overtime she said: “Overtime? Then our boys played a good game!” I love Canada so much 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👊😢

Canada 🇨🇦: here is a beautiful series of books and television everyone can enjoy together America 🇺🇸: how can we use this to police what women like and how they should like it and tell them they are wrong for liking it or not gay enough or anything we can do to attack women literally over anything.

I read Rachel Reid’s “Role Model” yesterday in one sitting. It is about Hockey players who actually believe the victims of sexual assault. It also has a central couple, Troy and Harris, who are every bit as endearing— and Ilya is featured heavily.

Giving American gay men who hate women Heated Rivalry was a mistake. It was made for Canadians by Canadians where I am never told what I can or can’t love. The Canadian queer community & allies are all standing together on this one, out of a point of pride & community. Don’t ruin it.

It’s incredible to me as a Feminist how hard I have ridden for gay men & non toxic het men & at the end of the day it is absolutely never reciprocated. Canadian women are championing Heated Rivalry because we want to see hockey become less toxic, for everyone. Men never cease to stop attacking us.

Canada: Our Prime Minster studied at Oxford and Harvard, was the Governor of both the Banks of England and Canada, and is recognized as one of the sharpest financial minds around. America: oh yeah? Our guy has to take dementia tests every week.

Let us not forget: Ukraine was at peace until Putin started to invade it. Ukraine deserves ALL its land, ALL its resources and nothing belongs to Russia any longer. Putin and Russia must be ousted from within all Ukrainian borders including returning Crimea to its rightful owners->Ukraine.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

Finland seized control of the vessel Fitburg after a data cable between Helsinki and Tallinn was damaged. The ship’s anchor chain was found hanging. Intercepted in Finland’s EEZ, damage occurred in Estonia’s zone. 14 crew detained.

My Mom. A coal (and gold) miners daughter. Founder of Grandmothers Against Genocide. On New Years she would let 70 punk kids in the tiny basement of her townhouse and we could dance all night long. Those still sitting around the kitchen table at 8 in the morning had to go to Mass. That's my Mom.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Pretty much every article about the Putin-Kushner-Witkoff summit in Moscow yesterday fails to mention that Kushner is simultaneously accepting tens of millions in annual payments from the Saudis and other foreign governments. Seems like a key detail!
