So, they’re tariffing penguins now? Cool, cool.

Who feels safe?? Anyone???

I mean, when even Poilievre disagrees with your conservative ass…

Okay, the most people in the “west” have zero interest in seceding from Canada. STFU Manning. Honestly. Smith too. 🙄

Braid: Government caves on popsicle ban for cancer kids, but admits nothing The Alberta government decrees that kids in cancer treatment can't get treats like popsicles or juice boxes. Same new rules apply to ERs.

If we can’t get rid of LaGrange, can we please make her a backbencher with no portfolio? FML.

Oh my God. The email contains an implied threat that any student who doesn’t immediately leave might be sent to El Salvador.

/technically it says “countries other than their countries of origin,” but the context right now, given everything going on, makes the threat clear.

Every single Democrat in Congress should be demanding the resignation of Waltz and Hegseth. Every single one.

This is a massive scandal. There should be a serious price to pay.

AND THERE IS ZERO DOWNSIDE FOR EVEN THE MOST SCAREDY-CAT CONGRESSPERSON.

Same!

Is there a way to recall her or force her to call an election? I need her voted out and please take LaGrange with her.

Elbows up, Canada!

So. Many.

It boggles the mind how Premier Smith can take a harder line stance against the prime minister of her own country than the president of an enemy nation.

If she's unsure who is the bigger threat, her advisors have failed all Albertans miserably.

AOC: Do you know which coloradans did vote to cut medicare and jack up health care cost? Every single Republican representative from Colorado. Don't you worry, I was just at Gabe Evans' district, and 11,000 of his constituents would like a word

So, freedom of speech is totally out the window?
