Notice how even after Canada scrapped the Digital Services Tax, Facebook is still preventing us from posting "news". Makes you wonder if it was really about the tax in the first place. 🤔

The emergency alert had warned us to our basements as hail hit the windows, and then the branches came tumbling out of the trees. The underpaid courier left my package of books on my doorstep.

We can start by quashing the sale of Moneris to the Americans. If that sale goes through, it's a clear signal that the government isn't serious about digital sovereignty.

For the Toronto Star, I wrote about the trade war, digital sovereignty, and Lake Ontario. We are already dominated by American tech giants. If Canada fights this trade war and we don't renegotiate the terms of digital trade, we will lose. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

As long as we are renaming it, let’s restore its proper name. #CdnPoli

UPDATE: Trump has declared the whole of "Lake America" a US "asset." Moreover, diplomatic channels on trade between the US and Canada are—the White House has now declared—closed. But yes, social media, keep telling us that none of this matters or will have any downstream effects.

Doug Ford and Trump are members of IDU Alliance. This bit of theater is supposed to make you think Doug Ford is anti-Trump. They are positioning Ford to run for PM. That's all.

Sweet Jesus. The President of the United States is mentally ill. I'm not being alarmist. I'm 100% serious. After reading this shit, I think you'll agree with my assessment...

The way Canadians feel about Trump and the US right now, is the way First Nations people feel about pipelines. Especially when they're forced through our land without consent. And the amount you want to fight back is what you're up against with the latest Alberta pipeline proposals. FYI.

Succinct trip through NAFTA/CUSMA, why we should repeal C – 11, how we could save ourselves from US-favouring Canadian laws, and save our digital sovereignty, plus some Americans in the process. Aside from the idea that anyone drinks Gretzky's MAGA rye for political (or other) reasons, this is ace.

As Canada is learning (the hard way), the "art" of all of Trump's deals can be summed up in a single word: "renege": pluralistic.net/2026/07/22/t... 1/

I want to expand on this in a short thread. Fascism sucks. It is also not going away: it is an effectively permanent part of modern representative politics because it is an effectively permanent part of human nature. We have to be prepared to push back against it, basically forever.

"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux@bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 2w ago

That said, I think at this point, we can conclude that fascism is a latent political force in basically every country, to a greater or lesser degree and so you need to be thinking, "what if my country goes fascist? what if a neighboring country does?" and plan for how to avoid or deal with that.

Our language laws are important, as are our jobs in tariff-affected industries, but what is actually at stake is far greater. This is a clear explanation of the 2025 US National Security Strategy, which put its plan for our subordination into writing well before this so-called trade negotiation.

Trump Wants Canada’s Submission, Not a Trade Deal #cdnpoli #uspoli youtu.be/_aX8sT1WlqA

Trump menace le Québec. Il lui en cuirait d'aller plus loin dans cette direction. Les Français sont liés sans faille au Québec. Soyons prêts à agir à la rescousse du Canada et du Québec.

Putin: “Ukraine has never had its own authentic statehood. There has never been a sustainable statehood in Ukraine.” Putin puppet Trump: “Canada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one!!!” Add in a passive and ignorant population and this is how wars start.

Ban Fox News propaganda from Canada, just like the CRTC did with RT Russia: "The CRTC noted worries over foreign programming that attempts to undermine democratic institutions and challenge the sovereignty of other nations" Sound familiar? #cdnpoli

I wish the petition mentioned that Hoekstra was one of the main purveyors of the "Iraq has WMDs" lie, and that Trump appointed him Ambassador while he was trying to push the "fentanyl pouring in from Canadia" lie, but you can just know that Hoekstra was appointed to us for a reason, and sign this.

Let’s hope that the Canadian federal government is smart enough to not use tariffs (a tax on Canadians) to retaliate, but instead puts export levies (a tax on Americans) on what the US needs from us - oil, gas, electricity, critical minerals, etc.
