@davidfrum.bsky.social hilariously pointed out 😂 Added feature: the Canadian park pass is not illustrated with an image of the head of government glowering like a mob boss about to order an execution.
Mark Carney@mark-carney.bsky.social · last wk.Every Canadian should be able to see our national parks. That’s why we made them free to visit all summer — with the Canada Strong Pass.

@acoyne.bsky.social But there’s an upside to all this. If there’s nothing we can do. If we lose no matter what. Then we might as well do what we want. When nothing you can do will improve your fortunes, when the outcome is the same regardless of which option you choose, the stakes converge on zero.
@kattybkay.bsky.social As a Canadian, I find it upsetting that you referred to Canada‘s “gross air“ as you described the wildfires this morning on MSNOW. What about extreme heat waves and record-breaking dry conditions are resulting in one of the most intense wildfire seasons in Canadian history. 😡

A murder, in America that was not closed down for a forensic crime scene investigation? The scene of the ICE killing was not cordoned off, and the street covered with blood was wiped clean by a sanitation truck. Absolutely chilling!

Sorry…last time we looked at a map, California was still part of the US. That makes you a part of the tariffs. Not our problem! You have an unfit president and you won’t do anything about it and he’s getting worse every day.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 4w agoCanada's boycott of California wine is causing devastating harm to winegrowers. I'm urging the Canadian government to recognize that California doesn’t agree with these tariff wars, to lift these restrictions, and increase consumer options to strengthen both our economies.
Reporting on potential risks to Air Force One is a legitimate national security matter. Dictatorship ⬇️
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 4w agoThe Trump administration issued subpoenas to New York Times journalists who wrote about the new Air Force One, an escalation of pressure on the media.
“With Donald Trump, it’s nonstop bragging and boasting and self-promotion that would have been, I think, completely alien to George Washington, and very much counter to his idea of the way that a public servant should behave.”

“When we show kindness, kindness grows. When we seek unity, unity grows. When we are Canadian, Canada grows. That’s our conviction. And it has never been stronger.” 🇨🇦

I try to infuse my life with my parents’ sense of fairness. And I continue to believe – or hope – that most Americans are fair, despite the unholy din of social media malice and Trump nastiness, and despite all that’s stacked against us. ☘️❤️
The Irish Times@irishtimes.com · last mo.Maureen Dowd: I always thought most Americans sought to be fair. Lately, so much seems unfair
What Joe Scarborough says 💯👏 Memo to Democrats: Call out crazy even when it’s on your side—especially when it’s on your side. Voters will reward you for being better than Republicans.
There‘s a record-breaking heat wave in Europe and hundreds are dying and the American president thinks climate change is a “hoax” and cuts funding for sustainable energy. 🥵😡

Macron: Canada and France share more than an old friendship, a culture, a long common history. We share a similar reading on the world, common actions, a desire to strengthen our strategic autonomy and a conviction that our democracies have an essential role to play in the international order.

“Working together, Canada, France and Europe are poised to be a powerful force for good in the century ahead,” Carney said.
Scott Robertson@sarobertson.bsky.social · 2mo agoCarney: And to deepen our defence and industrial cooperation today, the President and I are advancing a new General Security of Information Agreement.

Mark Carney’s address to the Economic Club of New York was well written, and of course strategic. A strong Canada can “help make America great again” – reseting the Canada and U.S. relationship in non- threatening terms.
Mark Carney@mark-carney.bsky.social · 2mo agoBuilding a stronger economy is, above all, good for all Canadians — but it is also good for the United States.
Trump's aides told The Atlantic he keeps extending the ceasefire because munitions are depleted and he fears Iranian retaliation against Gulf oil infrastructure. That's the mechanism behind every missed deadline.
Jonathan Lemire@jonlemire.bsky.social · 2mo ago“Trump has long been the master of asserting his own reality; he simply declares something a win, and his faithful supporters - and some in the conservative media - follow along “That approach is about to be tested anew by Iran” www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...
