When fascism rises, journalism and women’s rights are first to fall.
Poilievre is attacking both.
We won’t let him.

Trump’s tariff tantrum: how penguins got caught in the crossfire Trump’s chaotic new tariffs hit penguins, poor nations and allies alike – and the internet lost it

Penguins have become the unexpected icons of international trade chaos.

Naturally, the memes are spectacular.
We gathered the best in one gloriously freezing thread. 🐧

BREAKING: Mahmoud Khalil Can Be Deported, Immigration Judge Rules The judge said the Trump administration’s evidence – a two-page letter from Secretary of State Marco Rubio – is sufficient to deport Khalil under an obscure legal provision.

Chilling. They are saying that simply taking action in opposition to US foreign policy is grounds for deportation.

Think of the proud lineage of protests against US-backed wars, coups, torture...

Why We Need the CBC | The Tyee I grew up with Fox News. Now in Canada, I worry about the corrosive power of misinformation.

“During this election I see one party advocating for the defunding of Canada’s public broadcaster.

“Perhaps you need to have grown up with Fox News in your household to understand the urgency of this issue.”

Poilievre’s ‘Tough on Crime’ Plan Won’t Stop Intimate Partner Violence | The Tyee Support for women and families and reduced inequality are the best hope.

Policymakers concerned for survivors of intimate partner violence could take many steps, such as funding a variety of effective prevention programs.

But Pierre Poilievre’s approach appears to centre the offender — not the victim. Experts write. #CdnElxn2025

‘Leave the Maga cap at home!’ Is the world really becoming hostile to American tourists? As reservations for travellers heading from the US to Europe fall, some have suggested it’s about more than Trump’s tariffs

“Don’t boke the goose.” “Hands off our beavers.” “NEVER 51.”

It’s funny—but it’s serious. Because behind the signs and the sass is a clear message: Canadians are DONE with the push to turn us into the 51st state.

Paws off the CBC, Poilievre.
This isn’t just our public broadcaster—it’s part of the Canadian ecosystem.
You mess with it, you’re poking the whole damn bear.

“
I think Canadians should take this lunatic threat seriously. By the same token Trump should take Canadian resistance every bit as seriously. Napoleon and Hitler made the mistake of blithely marching into another cold-weather nation…”

Why Canadians Are Better Than Americans at Protesting Trump Right Now A unified movement like “Buy Canadian” is hard to find in America.

Canadians are pushing back against Donald Trump en masse. On the other side of the border, Americans who oppose him are struggling to come up with a unified response to his presidency, Stephanie Bai writes in The Atlantic Daily.

Trump’s imperial plan is now eroding the rights of people who thought they were safe | Nesrine Malik His targeting of foreigners with residencies or work visas was inevitable: to achieve his aims, more and more people must be disenfranchised, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

Must read from @nesrinemalik.bsky.social:

"First, [the repressive techniques] are used against those who are seen as inferior; then, they are deployed even against those citizens with full rights and privileges if they dare to question authority."
