Starting to get my hopes up about Aaron Gunn losing on North Island. 25 polls in, and he's still way behind.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him?

No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens.

Fascism is here.

Listening to @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social and the political panel. Does the Conservative member of the panel not realize that 16 years of BC Liberal government got us into this mess? It's not all on the BC NDP. It's disingenuous to suggest that. We don't need the "solutions" offered by BC Cons

That looks way too much like the concentration camps in Germany.......

Does he even have a point?????? That just looks weird. The people behind him don't even look impressed.

I hate these guys so much, Donald Trump gets to insult Trudeau literally every time he mentions him and drop a tariff Nuke on Canada but Trudeau is the problem if he ever says a word to Trump that isn’t pure praise

And remember, kids ... stay in school.

Trump keeps promising "great deals," but who signs deals with proven liars and deadbeats?

No Amazon. No Walmart. No Target. No Disney. No Google. No Apple. No Visa or Mastercard. And especially no Facebook or Twitter. Buy essentials such as medicine, food, and emergency supplies, of course, but make those purchases at small, local businesses and use cash. The purpose of today’s economic blackout is to send a clear message: We have the power.

#EconomicBlackout

Egg shortages.
Fatal measles outbreaks.
Airplane crashes.
Crypto scams.
Tariffs.
Betrayal of allies.
Pardons and special favors for insurrectionists, crooked mayors, and online pimps.
The American people voted for change!

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social I liked your interview with MP Champaign. It was frustrating too. He was acting like they're negotiating with a reasonable group. They're not. They need to recognize that. It's not possible to work out a reasonable agreement with a madman and his followers.

Feb 28 is the national boycott of American companies.
Tomorrow I am holding a press conference with Quebec Amazon employees who were fired by Jeff Bezos.
He is a toxic oligarch and a pal of Trump.
I am calling on all Canadians to support the Amazon workers and boycott this shitty company.

Morning street sweep in DTES with city workers and police moving people along. (“Pink” is the person in the tent. She gave me permission to record.) After she packed up she told me she didn’t know where she would go. More on The Early Edition this morning.

If Wayne Gretzky actually loved Canada he would tell Donald Trump to shut his mouth.
The convicted felon/sexual predator says we don't have a right to be a nation.
Standing up to him is a no brainer for anyone who loves Canada.
It's Vimy or Vichy.
Two simple choices.
Where do you stand Wayne?

And there's a petition asking that his Canadian citizenship be removed.

Judy Graves spent 33 years working with the City of Vancouver - most of it as the city's advocate for homeless people.
She once told me, "Everybody has a body, and they need someplace to put it."
I've never forgotten that.

The Guardian will never take editorial direction from our billionaire owner – because thankfully, we don't have one. Instead, we rely on readers like you to fund our truly independent work. If you prefer your journalism to be free from proprietorial interference, please consider supporting the Guardian on a monthly basis from $5, or with a one-time amount from $1. This is what billionaire ownership of news organisations looks like. We are proud to offer an alternative – thanks to your support.

The Guardian is fundraising off Jeff Bezos's brazen, bullying interventions in the Washington Post's journalism and good for them!

Scrolling Getty and couldn't help but notice this photo of a huge bruise on Trump's hand today

#WeNeedJoy

@joyannreid.bsky.social is the best in the business and this decision by MSNBC to cancel her show is just madness.

Joy has been a voice of truth and we need her voice now more than ever.

I just learned MSNBC has cancelled Joy Ried. Shocking! #weneedjoy

I'm sure it's hard for him to keep track of all his lies.

I love Joy.

I've seen it on Meidas Touch (I think) and maybe the Dollemore Report. I haven't had any corporate media on today. I don't have access to MSNBC or CNN here, except on YouTube

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

@charlieangus104.bsky.social is a model for what what our American representatives should be like; his fire and courage so admirable!

Only two weeks on the job, and Elon Musk is already the worst president America has ever had.

Fucking hero. Never mess with a punk rocker.
