Canada condemns Trump's "deal" with Russia over diesel products. #Canada #cdnpoli
Scott Robertson@sarobertson.bsky.social · yesterdayPM Carney on US-Russia diesel deal: "This agreement is in direct opposition to the efforts of Ukraine, Canada, and our allies to create peace and stability in Europe. It will provide additional revenue for Russia and help finance its illegal, unjustifiable war against Ukraine."
For those interested in donating to #Ukraine to help them buy equipment, read this: givebutter.com/liberty-engi...
Update: Witkoff and Kurchner apparently knew of this secret deal at the Florida meeting, and once the Ukrainians became aware of it, they were the ones who threatened the Ukrainians with withdrawal of intelligence. Ukraine ended the meetings it appears, and has apparently ignored that threat.
As expected, the threatened blackmail from Trump over Ukraine hitting Russian Refineries. . Hopefully Ukraine anticipated this. (I've read that France among other NATO Nations has offered to help with Intelligence if the US cuts it off again) #Ukraine #uspoli
MAKS 26 👀🇺🇦@maks23.bsky.social · 2d ago🇺🇸🇺🇦❗️Trump's special representatives have informed Ukraine of a possible suspension of intelligence sharing if the Armed Forces of Ukraine attack the refinery, - DW

Trump Cut Deal with Putin After Zelensky Ignored Him
"President Trump decided to make a diesel fuel deal with Russia after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ignored half a dozen U.S. requests to stop attacking Russian oil refineries," Axios…

I’m feeling sick! Today, our supposed allies decided to give the mad goblin in the Kremlin more money to keep killing us, and blamed us for it in the process! We made them buy russian oil, you see? By defending ourselves. Freaking circus. Donate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine
I think this analysis is correct. Reports out of Russia for the last six weeks show huge diesel shortages and long lines of cars trying to get it. Russia doesn't have the diesel Trump says he's buying for them. This is all for another purpose, which is psy ops.
Tone deaf. Not reading the room. add in whatever description you want. I would love to see the polling advice he's getting that claims htis message will resonate with Canadians. #cdnpoli #Canada
Scott Robertson@sarobertson.bsky.social · 3d agoPierre Poilievre demands Mark Carney "get back to the negotiating table" with the Americans: "A year and a half of theatre, of grandstanding, of jetting around and failing to get results will not cut it."
🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: Ukraine will not set Russian oil refineries on fire if Russia stops destroying our energy infrastructure. This is precisely the kind of agreement we are proposing to America, and we believe the United States is strong enough to achieve such a compromise.
NEWS: Eight major U.S. allies—including Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—have issued a joint rebuke of the Trump regime’s sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court. They vow “unwavering support” for the ICC’s independence.
If you're wondering why Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers in Michigan is now calling for tariffs against Canada to be dropped - when he previously supported them - here's an indication why. #uspoli #Canada #cdnpoli politicalwire.com/2026/10/07/a...

This is what I call the least distasteful of the distasteful outcomes. QS isn't guaranteed to support the PQ on everything beyond sovereignty matters, and the PQ may also be constrained from being over-aggressive on picking fights with the Federal Govt. #Canada #cdnpoli #Quebec
Scott in Montreal🇨🇦@scottinmontreal.ca · 7d agoWith a complete CAQ wipe-out, at least let it be said that Quebec voted to reject incompetence. Meanwhile, with the province's finances an utter shambles, I don't foresee an easy road ahead for the new minority PQ government. All momentum is with the PLQ and PCQ. They will eat PSPP's lunch. #qcpoli
That will really help their tourism industry out. DeSantis is almost as bad as Trump is with the way he targets Canadians. #Canada #cdnpoli #uspoli

I think if Pm @mark-carney.bsky.social were to suddenly announce that we're limiting the F-35's we're getting and filling the rest of the jet order with Gripens, he'd have polling #'s approving that deal equivalent to the amt supporting him withdrawing from trade talks. #cdnpoli #Canada

This poll makes more sense in light of the recent by-election win for the NDP in Calgary. I had trouble believing they were trailing by double digits as the Abacus poll showed (it was released right around the time of that byelection, as I recall) #cdnpoli #abpoli #Canada

"When pressed on whether he took Mr. Trump’s threats to make Canada a 51st state seriously, Mr. Carney suggested that he had carefully examined the possibility of a U.S.-led military invasion, but declined to discuss in detail what that involved." #cdnpoli #Cnada #uspoli archive.ph/AU7lu#select...
