Furious Poilievre criticizes Trump tariffs for uniting Canadians OTTAWA - Following a tumultuous weekend in which Donald Trump threatened Canada with steep tariffs on all goods, only to back down, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre angrily criticized the US presi...

"During these negotiations, President Trump's actions led Canadians to unite in solidarity, and that is absolutely terrible for my brand!"

That's really cool! How did he react when you told him?

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

FACT CHECK: Canada has already announced this plan BEFORE Trump announced his tariffs.

Collins: He said that Canada is going to be implementing a $1.3 billion border plan, where they talk about reinforcing the border. I should note that's actually something that was announced back in December

Trudeau announced tariffs are paused after an agreement on fentanyl and organized crime was reached. Seems it was all just a ham-fisted way to get Canada to agree to basically what Canada was proposing already, but whatever. Hang on for round 2 in 30 days.

This is why you don’t surrender in advance.

The flagrantly illegal can be stopped.

It sucks that it’s falling to ordinary workers, not, say, the police, or Chuck Schumer with an NBC camera crew manning the line.

You know, the ppl whose job this actually is.

But they can be stopped.

Trump and his administration don't see the world as it is, they see it as they wish and imagine it to be. Those visions aren't even the same or cohesive. They are delusional at their core, more wishful thinking than realpolitik. Poison pablum the US populace laps up as they chant "USA! USA! USA!"

Starting trade wars to make it easier to take over the government was literally the plot to the Star Wars prequels.

Always. Every single time.

Poillievre would happily gargle Trump's balls if he would only ask. Just 2 days ago, he was still opposing what he is now trying to take credit for. Why? He was falling in the polls. Until 2 days ago, he thought being Trump's lickspittle would win for him. Now, he just doesn't want to be trounced.

If you are more worried about protecting a political party from criticism, or spend more time policing the different types of leftists, progressives or liberals, all the while a right wing regressive oligarchy is dismantling the foundations of your country, you need to recalibrate your priorities.

Absolutely spineless cowards.

This is the way.

Never tolerate it anywhere, ever, no matter how nice they seem at first.

Unfortunately, very believable. "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." And here we are.

This is the way.

I get that, I really do. I sympathize. My response wasn't to that, it was to Hank asking someone outside the US to do something because he can't access TikTok. Except, he can do what he was asking someone else to do. Be angry at the ban, 100%. But you can still access TikTok, if you want to.

How to Get Around the US TikTok Ban TikTok is now unavailable in the United States—and getting around the ban isn’t as simple as using a VPN. Here’s what you need to know.

I'm not trying to mansplain, I'm just pointing out other countries have done this and a new account t plus VPN gets you access to TikTok. www.wired.com/story/how-to....

Yeah, that's true. But if you still want to access it, that plus a VPN makes it possible. It's how the ban has been circumvented in other countries.

As a Canadian, who is scrolling TikTok *right now*, I guarantee you TikTok still works outside the US. It is banned for US based users, not worldwide. Ger a VPN, and you can use it too.

That's literally how they work.

Dude, just get a VPN. *You* can be the person in some other country.

Mad at Meta? Don't Let Them Collect and Monetize Your Personal Data If you’re fed up with Meta right now, you’re not alone. Meta tracks you across millions of websites and apps and its business model relies on your data. If you want to limit Meta’s ability to collect ...

Fed up with Meta? Avoiding Instagram or Facebook isn’t enough to stop Meta from harvesting and profiting from your private information. Here’s how to limit Meta’s ability to monetize your personal data.

It's always very telling that the "masculine energy" Zuckerberg and his ilk want has no overlap with being a gentleman.
