Canada

Everything the Americans said about TikTok and more can be said about Twitter/X’s dangerous role in Canada.

CBC is a crown corporations. WE, canadians, own it. It is OURS and it is INDEPENDANT JOURNALISM. Crown corporations are wholly owned federal or provincial organizations that are structured like private or independent companies. They include enterprises such as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), VIA Rail, Canada Post and the Bank of Canada; as well as various provincial electric utilities. Crown corporations have greater freedom from direct political control than government departments.

PP do not understand the difference between publicly funded and ‘state’ funded. The government transfers Canadian taxpayer money to the CBC which operates separately from government. The government does not control the CBC. This simple distinction is beyond his limited intellect.

CBC is PUBLICLY funded!! Therefore, yes the funds are funnelled through the govt, but not govt state media. We will leave that to fox propaganda news and post media that is owned by the USA ultra right wing.

Postmedia is owned by Hedge fund billionaires allied with Trump and pushing MAGA propaganda.

A Reuters photographer snapped a picture of Trudeau later carrying a House of Commons chair out of the West Block chamber as he winds down his time in government. Under parliamentary rules, an outgoing MP can purchase a replica of their chair in the chamber.

The Canadian military leadership is close to their U.S. counterparts and is reluctant to shift its focus from America. Some retired Canadian Forces senior officers, such as former chief of the defence staff Gen. Rick Hillier, have voiced support for a Canada that is integrated more closely with the U.S. On Feb. 15, Hillier went on the social media website X to express his support for Canadian businessman Kevin O'Leary's proposal for a common dollar, integrated border and immigration requirements with the U.S.

But retired Vice Admiral Mark Norman has warned that Canada is under attack from the Americans.

Norman argued in a Feb. 14 National Post column that Canada should not sit back and let the U.S. destroy the country. "This may need to include otherwise previously unthinkable actions such as shutting off our oil and gas, electrical power and critical supplies, as well as the abandonment of historic diplomatic and military relationships and commitments," Norman pointed out.

Canada desperately needs a national strategic internet constellation.

Just saw this groups and on YouTube and it was fucking rediculous. Literally had a picture of Justin when he was younger and then phased in a picture of Carney right over him🤡.

This group is a western separatist group who wants to see YOUR tax dollars from Sask and Alberta put into: ThE BuFfALo PEnsioN PlaN.

I wouldn't be surprised if Danielle or road kill Moe is behind this absolute bullshit. All they do is whine on it about the money Alberta has sent to the federal government.... As if we don't all do that? It's called fucking taxes? And then complains about how Ottawa has kneecapped the Oil and Gas industry. As if they didn't buy a fucking pipeline and help a LNG exporting project in BC gain its footing. Albertans reading this, do you really want to continue letting that sack of horseshit ruin your province?

Nothing says "classy" like flying that flag.

Good L🍁ck Trudeau! (But also, don't let the door hit you on the way out...)

Surcharge part of initial retaliatory measures that will remain in place until U.S. tariffs are removed for good

Ontario is imposing a 25 per cent surcharge on all U.S.-bound electricity as part of its retaliatory measures against U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods.

Good job, Doug!

Ford's aggressive remarks earn the attention of Trump's commerce secretary

Doug Ford struck his most aggressive tone to date this week as he blamed Donald Trump for "causing chaos" with his tariff threats, and experts say the attacks from Ontario's Conservative premier and appeals to the president's Republican allies might be gaining traction.

. . .

According to a report from the Globe and Mail, confirmed by CBC Toronto, that tone sparked a call from Trump's own commerce secretary Howard Lutnick. He asked Ford to ease up with his rhetoric, a request the premier refused.

Conservative strategist Shakir Chambers said Lutnick's call shows that Ford has managed to grab the attention of people in the White House and his appeals have them concerned. He's also channeling the frustrations of many Canadians who are angrily watching the tariff threats unfold.

The Liberal mailing list sent this an hour or two ago. "From" Mark Carney:

I am deeply honoured to be our next Liberal leader – and I’m ready to get to work.

We’re going to build the fastest-growing economy in the G7.

We’ll cut taxes that divide us and put money back into your pockets.

We’ll invest in health care, seniors, and affordable child care.

We’ll take bold action on climate, and we’ll protect Canadian workers from Trump’s tariffs.

I really hope that ol affordability crisis just slipped his mind. Tax cuts are fine (even if it's coded language for dropping the carbon tax), but groceries are still crazy expensive and housing is still hard to come by.

We need to escalate faster and hit harder in our tariff war with the US. That's the argument the most recent Hatchet episode. The reasoning makes sense:

1. The uncertainty around tariffs means that businesses will decide to relocate away from Canada, even if tariffs are never fully implemented. It's just easier to set up shop in the US and skip the tariff risk entirely. The longer the uncertainty drags on, the worse Canada's position becomes.

2. Trump and Musk are doing so many ridiculous things that the US public isn't focusing on the trade war with Canada, which means they aren't putting pressure on their representatives to end the trade war.

3. As time goes on, Canada's unity will fracture. Individual provinces will cave as they receive individual concessions.

The argument is that we should keep export tariffs on potash, energy, and other stuff we're selling into the US so that there's significant short term pain. That pain will convince Trump and co to back off on tariffs and return to our previous relationship.

I apologize if this has already been asked before, but I couldn’t find a previous post.

With American encroachment on Canada, their threats to our sovereignty alongside the tariffs, Canadians have become emboldened and restless. This has manifested itself in a resurgence of Canadian nat

An African Nova Scotian RCMP sergeant who created anti-racism workshops for his employer says he was removed from his position after he raised concerns about intellectual property rights when the initiative he headed was going to be expanded.

Craig Smith, a Mountie for nearly three decades, was described by the RCMP as a driving force behind its African Canadian Experience workshop, but the two sides are disputing who owns the course material.

The dispute began in 2023. Smith now works for the RCMP in national recruitment.

"I believe that I was sidelined for no other reason than the fact that I said that I want to be compensated for my intellectual property rights," Smith said.

Donald Trump is a troll trying to own the libs and get under our skin. Let’s ignore him and get on with the task of peace, order and good government.

Trump’s threats to Canada are not idle boasts and shouldn’t be taken as such. They call for a whole of society response.
