RIP Lloyd Robertson! An icon of Canadian journalism. And a voice of reason in a crazy world.

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 old guy, wise guy, tired guy. Looking for my next wine, my glasses, my cat, and my next nap. Not necessarily in that order. (Be advised, my wife may or may not be jealous of the cat). Hardcore liberal till I die. Never Cons. DM’s get you blocked.
A thread. Ya know what’s going to finish Canada? And give trump the win he wants? Canadians attacking Canada. Mark carney ditched the digital tax and now all the Monday morning quarterbacks are bitching and complaining without any understanding at all of what’s really going on. 1/5
To those complaining about carney and the digital tax. We hired this guy to do a job. He is the one who knows the issues. He is the guy with all the information. We only get bits and pieces and to second guess him is not helpful. Let him do his job. There is no wisdom in attacking him!
Two paths diverged in a wood and America took the psychopath.
The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.
Ya know, growing up in the church I heard a lot about the Antichrist. Never occurred to me he’d be voted into power by the church and covered in Cheeto foundation makeup from Frito-lay.
It's working out better for us than you bucko! And cards, well we have billions in U.S. treasury bonds ready to dump, as well as the actual respect of all G-7 and NATO members, and a functioning government under a bill of rights, and all our cabinet members are intelligent elected representatives.
Canada needs to settle down. So, Trump had another temper tantrum today. So what? Next week he’ll have another one. It’s how he rolls. He’s not reliable. It is to be expected. If it wasn’t the digital tax, it would have been something else! This is why we need new trade partners.
My dear American friends: May I make a suggestion? The orange Cheeto waffles on decisions so much, that it may just make sense to rebrand the White House to the Waffle House! The final decision is of course up to the American people but I do think that even Maga may just be able to get on board.
Absolutely not. Any police force covering their identity, identities the govt that allows it as fascist.
“james adomian”@jadomian.bsky.social · last yr.ICE agents have a totally legitimate concern for facing threats like doxxing and accountability if they don’t illegally wear masks. A workable compromise: oblige them by law to submit to biometric QR identification tattoos or brandings that can be scanned when they’re on the job. Easy and simple!
Good explainer on US debt and trumps “big beautiful bill” and how it might (WILL in my opinion) go wrong. youtu.be/PQOmqA5zgds?...

Trump tried to force us into annexation by playing a power move on trade. What he forgot is that the world likes Canada. And finding new trading partners was easy, augmented as it was by trump’s idiocy in trying the same trade techniques with the rest of the world.
Citizens of the 🌍, here’s a great little video to help learn from our examples. 🇨🇦/🇺🇸 There’s a great little check list to help you recognize the signs. Thanks Planet D. @theplanetd.bsky.social #usapoli #cdnpoli #politics #globalpolitics #CanadaSky #cults youtu.be/KjrHPUQSEf0?...

I see world leaders are meeting at The Hague. I wonder in Netanyahu will go??? Be a shame if this war criminal showed up for a meeting at The Hague. Or how about Putin? He’s probably busy elsewhere as well I guess.
These the same people upset about political correctness? Upset by Calvin and Hobbes? And they call us snowflakes. Imagine being so afraid that you ban Calvin and Hobbes.

Today’s GOP doesn’t want votes, it wants power. That’s why they gerrymander, purge voters, and pack courts. It’s not about democracy—it’s about dominance. If we don’t call it what it is—minority rule enforced by fear—we’re sleepwalking into tyranny.
It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this
And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.
I have a question. Anti war means what now? I’m sorry but I have a hard time keeping up with Maga’s positional shifts lately. First eggs were too expensive and now they’re bombing Iran. It’s all too much.
