My one disagreement with this otherwise very good video is that boycotting American goods does not mean buying only Canadian goods. We should *strengthen* our relationships, including trade, with nations that aren't fascist.

What the shite is this?

A source close to Freeland said Zelenskyy asked her to take on the voluntary advisory role on Dec. 22 while she was in Ukraine, and she told Carney about the request on Christmas Eve.

The source, who spoke on the condition they not be named because they weren't authorized to speak publicly, said Freeland made the case that the new job is a continuation of the work she has been doing and that she sees it as good for both Canada and Ukraine.

In September 2025, Freeland announced she was leaving the federal cabinet and would not reoffer in the next federal election. The same day, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Freeland would be Canada's new special representative for the reconstruction of Ukraine.

In her statement on Monday, Freeland said she would now "step aside" from that role.

Remember Canadians, the White Economic Anxiety of your ungrateful neighbour is worth more than your Sovereignty, and every Yank Murder-Boy dropped on Canada from a chopper is REALLY sorry about having to kill you.

If a #Canadian_Labour_Party were to present itself in the next federal or provincial elections as a left-leaning party that fight for the rights of working class Canadians, what are some policies you would expect or would like to see?

"He believed that candidates [for GG or LG] should be non-partisan; have the gravitas to fulfill the role and the personality to engage with Canadians from all walks of life; they should have a record of serving Canadians either through philanthropy, community leadership, public service or military service; and they should understand the duties and, even more importantly, the limitations of the Queen’s representative in our constitutional system."

It's striking that the government of Canada has neither condemned nor supported the US attack upon #Venezuela. How shall we consider that? Realpolitik? Pusillanimity? Uncertainty about the legality of the attack, given that we claim Pres. Maduro was himself illegitimate?

Update: I've thought of another theory https://cosocial.ca/@mpjgregoire/115833136390453454

Does anyone remember what our government's position was about the invasion of Panama in 1989?

"Leaving aside all cost issues completely, it makes perfect sense that our prime minister should inhabit a guest cottage behind the viceregal palace, and not in some boreal version of the White House, which is both source and symbol of the toxic American cult of the chief magistrate."

"[M]ixing meticulous research with personal stories from the [Temporary Foreign Workers] migrants themselves, he also reveals a modern system of poorly policed programs and confusing bureaucracy that often seems to be in a constant state of flux. It enables vulnerable workers to be routinely exploited. Many are underpaid, physically abused, sexually harassed and forced to live and work in overly crowded, filthy and unsafe conditions."

"Canada’s existing legal framework of criminal laws prohibiting treason, sedition and espionage set the bar for prosecution so high as to make prosecution almost inconceivable with regard to the Albertans’ meetings, said Yuan Yi Zhu, a Canadian professor of international relations and law at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands. “They’d pretty much have to be caught on tape helping Donald Trump plan an invasion of Canada” to be prosecuted, said Zhu."

Interesting to look at recent polls: the #Liberals are trending down (39%), the #CPC down a bit (38%), the #NDP and #BQ are up (10% and 7%). Those are very plausible trends given that PM #MarkCarney has moved his party rightwards, and that threats from the White House seem less urgent.

The result is that #338Canada no longer predicts a Liberal majority if an election were held today; they still give a 58% chance the Liberals would win the most seats.

Let's say there are a few more floor-crossers. What would it mean for the Liberals to have a bare majority?

"With a majority of just one or two MPs, there is no margin for error for the government and its caucus to miss out on a vote. Furthermore, it would give each Liberal MP extraordinary leverage over their government, allowing them to threaten to withhold their vote or even vote against a bill unless granted certain concessions."

BC's One Party shows the horseshoe theory in practice.

Brodie fires and antisemitic staffer from her right wing party, and they fire her.

She was brought back 10 days later after some negotiation.

On the other side of the spectrum, the NDP and Green parties also spreads antisemitic lies and rhetoric, and former Jewish party leaders have talked about how toxic it is for Jews at the NDP.
