Every time he says Canada is nasty is an admission that he’s a loser, unable to shake us down & force us to accept shitty deals.

It’s time for Pete “Chucklehead” Hoekstra, the American ambassador to Canada, to get the f**k out of our country. 1️⃣ Sign the House of Commons petition at b.link/chucklehead 2️⃣ Download this artwork at chucklehead.todmaffin.com and put it on shirts, signs, or whatever you want.

Stephen Lautens@stephenlautens.bsky.social · last yr.Canada: Walk away from negotiations. Don't retaliate. Diversify. Find new markets. Buy European military equipment. Reinstate the digital services tax. Let Americans pay more for the things they want from us. Keep up the public boycott. Welcome American refugee talent. Be Canadian. #cdnpoli #USpoli
Canadians don’t want to support the corrupt US govt, we will continue to boycott, spend our money at home, if you choose to go to the US, you are essentially supporting concentration camps, corruption, racial bias etc.

Vast majority of Canadians no longer trust the United States

A new study by the Angus Reid Institute has found that the vast majority of Canadians no longer trust the United States.

Honestly though, the fact that this function exists and was rolled out at all will now make every Google Earth image suspect to me going forward. I can’t imagine I’m the only one who feels this way. Incredibly quick and near-total brand destruction by Google Earth—and for what?
Quite telling how every argument for AI data centers is transparent bullshit. It creates no lasting jobs or population movement at all. Literally no reason for any place to allow it unless the community extracts massive perpetual cash payments in return.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d agoHassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
The contrast with Trump 2016 is also important: the full-spectrum failure we're seeing is what happens when Trump gets to pick his administration unfettered by the admittedly dubious constraints of the professional GOP.
James Fallows@jfallows.bsky.social · 7d agoLet me tell you, having chronicled Pentagon-style war game on attacking Iran nearly 25 yr ago, every single "surprise," "darkening turn," "narrowing option," spreading warfare," "rising casualties," "no easy exit," etc that comes drip-by-drip is EXACTLY why GHWB WJC GWB OBAMA BiDEN did NOT do this

Trump said about trade with Canada and Mexico in June 2026. "We don't need their cars. We don't need their lumber. We don't need their energy. We don't need anything that they have." It might be time that Canada puts Trump’s claim to the test. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
WATCH: Trump says he's 'not looking to renew' U.S. trade deal with Canada and Mexico
Without a commitment by July 1, the trade deal would face annual reviews of its status and possibly expire in 2036.

Apparently Discovery’s Shark Week has called Nova Scotia “America’s backyard.” Naturally, Nova Scotians are unimpressed. We feel “fuck you” about calling any region of Canada “America’s backyard.” The fuck we are. There’s a property line, motherfuckers. It’s the NEIGHBOUR’S YARD.
During World War II, did @theglobeandmail.com send journalists to photograph and write sympathetic stories about wounded Nazi soldiers? No. So why in God’s green earth are they sending someone to do that for bloody-handed war criminal Putin’s forces? 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼
The point isn't to produce essays, it's to teach students how to think for fuck's sake. The minute you automate that, it's over. You might as well close the course. Which they're also doing. This is an attack on learning, and everyone is just shrugging.

If there was ever any doubt, the Gordie Howe Bridge fiasco proves it: You can't trust Trump's America, or any deal within this administration's orbit. thewalrus.ca/the-gordie-h...
The Gordie Howe Bridge Is What American Betrayal Looks Like | The Walrus
Canada spent billions on the crossing. Trump turned it into a shakedown
thewalrus.ca
“Today, trucks will roll, cars will cross, and governments will begin collecting tolls. But the bridge will remain a monument to a broken bond that may take decades to fix—and may never be fully repaired.” Well worth reading @davidmoscrop.com’s excellent piece.

We ought to reject and denounce ideas from technocrats and plutocrats who'd destroy our democracy.
The level of conservative freakout over @acoyne.bsky.social’s rather even-handed but ruthlessly fair column questioning Canadian patriotism tells me that he was right over the target. And it is a lot of freakout, man. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
