Bruce 🇨🇦@manitos2016.bsky.social · 2d agoSaw a Poilievre clip from an event today and his major slogan was "Faith, family, and freedom". WTF??? So anyone who's not christian, not in a "traditional" family, and who believes in civic responsibility and the means to achieve it is not welcome in the CPC's 🇨🇦. Cause we know that's what he means.
The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.

“In a Tuesday social post on X, Smith said Alberta’s police service should be focused on addressing violent crimes, theft, illegal drugs and vandalism — not people’s free speech.” Yeah, and maybe your government should focus on delivering healthcare and education instead of pandering to loons.

This media spin sets the stage to restrain any Canadian government effort to enforce charges against Canadians who committed crimes with the IDF in Gaza. 1500 Canadians "volunteered" to help the ethnic cleansing. The Israeli lobby will scream persecution if ICC warrants are issued in Canada.
Charlie Angus@charlieangus104.bsky.social · 13h agoSince Gaza the coverage by Canadian Press has gone from one-sided pro Israel to outright propaganda to actively fanning disinformation and fear. These headlines have dangerous geopolitical implications with Trump's open threat against Canada. But the @thestar.com helps spread the BS.
This is genuinely astonishing: a piece by the Globe and Mail’s editorial board lamenting the “new normal” of wildfires and summer smoke and no mention whatsoever of a) climate change, or b) the burning of fossil fuels that causes it. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

Thank you Mexico 🇲🇽 Firefighters More firefighters from Mexico will be arriving later this week to #BritishColumbia #Canada

Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives want to launch a witch hunt against Canada's public health heroes - just like MAGA is doing with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Poilievre offers nothing to Canadians except warmed over crap from the American extreme right.
WTF! Poilievre setting up a fake sparring match to pretend he's better than Trudeau. Get in the ring with him in a real match you POS! #cdnpoli
Harper sold Canada off to cover up his incompetence. Don’t ever let someone tell you differently. #Canada

Some, many of us, have been saying this for 12 mths. Premiers are slow walking this all talk no action. Little they do do they still add fees inc costs. Premiers can not be trusted to put 🇨🇦 first. Actions or lack of speaks volumes. @mark-carney.bsky.social flying alone on Team 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #bcpoli

The “Allison Inquiry” feels more like a political grievance session than a genuine attempt to improve anything. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
Omg, this is so pathetic. #PierrePoilievre #cdnpoli

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

The doctor was thrust into his pandemic-leadership role because of Trump’s deadly dereliction of duty.

Good article. Of course, CBC found someone to quote to get a dig about the Liberal government in there, and a quote that our food safety is “overregulated”. I’ll take “overregulated” over the literal shitshow of our neighbours any day. #Canada #FoodSafety #FoodSecurity

THIS SHOULD TERRIFY EVERYONE. AI models from two of the world’s biggest AI companies broke out of controlled tests and attempted to hack real-world systems. Regulation isn’t optional anymore. If lawmakers don’t get serious about AI regulation, we’re living on borrowed time.
