The Far Shore 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Trying to follow as many Canuck accounts as I can as our country goes through uncertain times with the crazy uncle south of the border.

Huge headlines around the world. In major US corporate media, complete silence. Something fishy here.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

A protester yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" to Trump at his rally in Mississippi on Monday night. This clip contains two versions of the moment. The first is how it aired on a livestream. In the second I increased the audio for that moment.

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

Wab Kinew: "Let's get rid of the Indian Act. You have nothing to lose but your chains."

Bill Maher said “fuck you” and called us bitches for being upset he dined with Trump. Then Trump tore into Maher on Truth Social calling him a lying, losery coward. That’s funny to me.

We have a Premier who tried to make you hate Canada And failed She tried to make you hate immigrants And failed So now she’s trying to make you hate transgender kids You know the assignment Alberta. #ableg

And Brad Bradford gave a commendable concession speech.

A huge congratulations to @mayoroliviachow.ca and the incredible slate of progressive councillors elected in Toronto tonight.

Olivia Chow for the win as Mayor of Toronto. Stepson Mike Layton elected city councillor (University-Rosedale) after returning to politics.

Trump now being trolled by the whole trolling spectrum, from Obama to Norwegian toilets

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shooter…

The UCP might make Edmonton pay up to $170M to rip out its own bike lanes. I've heard reports that the UCP has been asking for costs of full network removals. City numbers put that at $150-170M This is the same gov't that just spent $130M on a glorified opinion poll.

Obama’s Cheesecake Factory line clearly didn’t bother him at all 😬

Lula Goes HARD

They had no business being there unless it was for an exorcism. www.cnn.com/2026/10/26/p...

According to Zelenskyy, for nearly a month Pete Hegseth has not been signing off on the delivery of vital Patriot and NASAMS interceptor missiles for Ukraine that European allies have already paid for. Here is a video of Hegseth cynically wishing Ukraine “success” a week ago:

I do think when historians look back the period the exact moment where it flipped and started going the other way won’t be anything any politician did but my Minneapolis neighbors weathering the worst of the regime in the streets, rallying together, fighting back, and winning

Editorial: Toronto is falling apart, so let me finish it off - by Brad Bradford

The American owned Sun is promoting a vigilante as the face for Canada's most multicultural and open city. This is same American owned paper that said crack-smoking Rob Ford should be elected mayor. Toronto - you're better than this. Let's get out the vote for Olivia Chow.

Trump’s campaign “red state blitz” is turning into a traveling disaster. Hecklers, angry voters, Vivek’s disgusting ad, Ashley Hinson’s weak-ass embrace. Republicans are supposed to be closing strong in red states. Instead, they’re unraveling and the backlash is becoming the story.

what a night

Congratulations Brazil, you didn’t Trump yourselves. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

Lula prevails… www.cnn.com/2026/10/25/a...

look, nothing is simple and i have no parsimonious explanation for anything here, but a student protest movement, focused on corruption & authoritarianism, just won a major european election. a big deal.

Today broke grey and raw for New Democrats here in BC: last night was a body blow. This morning I’m sending solidarity and care to all the progressive organizers - within and beyond electoral politics - who have worked tirelessly over so many years in this province.

We are now at the point where Trump is comparing the asses of Jon Husted and Nicki Minaj.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

For two years, student-led protests have raged against Aleksandar Vučić and his corrupt government in Serbia. Today, in parliamentary elections, he was toppled. One of the most sustained protest movements in recent European history has succeeded. Resistance works.

The youngest to be shot was 11 years old. ELEVEN YEARS OLD. In 2026, in the United States of America, the leading cause of death for children is a bullet. The victims and families are in my prayers. But they are also in my actions. We must end gun violence.

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

BC nobly sacrifices good governance to teach one man about hubris

REMINDER: THE INTERNET IS FOREVER Dani when she was leader of the Wildrose Party❕

Ok, not that well versed by any means on BC politics, but for what I’ve gotten wind of so far, BC’s Conservatives sound a lot like the UCP- a few ‘normies’ flanked by some nutbar reactionaries. We’ll see what happens when crazies take over the party.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

imagine your legacy being using your political career to undermine your entire pre-politics career just so you can make the most humiliating blunder and lose to a party that was on the verge of collapse

BREAKING: CBC has projected a BC Conservatives MAJORITY GOVERNMENT in British Columbia. A party in big disarray when the election was called, with an INTERIM leader nobody knew. LESSON: DON’T CALL AN EARLY ELECTION, ESPECIALLY OVERLAPPING WITH A MUNICIPAL ELECTION, WHEN YOUR LEADER IS UNPOPULAR.

It would be deeply ironic if the election of a BC Conservative government, and the ensuing war with First Nations in that province, scuttled the oil pipeline so many Conservatives in BC claim to support.

BC election early results look like premier Eby’s gamble was a big mistake. (an election nobody wanted.) Conservatives are poised to win a majority. damn. #BCelection

First it was: "They'll come back and say sorry, sir." Then, "they are being taught a little lesson." Or "They'll be made the 51state. That's how it goes." And "We hold all the cards." Now, "OMG Canada, Republicans are going down in flames." File under FAFO. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The only thing I can think of is that David Eby was looking to bail out of politics…

UPDATE: The DOJ’s demand to set aside ballots in California is impossible to carry out and has no basis in federal law, L.A. County told a federal court last night. Voting is already underway, the county said, and once a ballot leaves its envelope, it can’t be traced back to a voter.

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

“You’re making me hard” 😂

OBAMA: Remember that whole thing about drain the swamp? The only thing that got drained. was the reflecting pool after some no-bid contract got it all messed up. And then they tried to blame a 3 time Olympian by claiming he vandalized it.

Grok fact-checks its master 👇🏽 👀
