America isn't coming back, anyone who thinks we just ride out the Trump years is naive, the damage is irreversible. He's destroying every institution, he's unilaterally conceded America's role in the world, democracy is subjective, the courts are a mess, everything is eroding. It's insane.

California independence support hits "record high" A new survey finds 80 percent of Californians want the state to control borders with other states "like a country."

By the time this vote comes in 2028, I predict a fascinating outcome, especually after the GOP rig the midterms. #uspoli www.newsweek.com/california-i...

I've altered two travel plans to avoid America. Anyone rationalizing themselves and still visiting is duplicitous and weakens our country. It's pretty simple really. #cdnpoli

Re-reading the Anne Frank story this morning, overwhelmed with outrage, empathy, sorrow, sadness and injustice. The mind boggling dehumanization and depravity. It's the exact same emotions I currently have watching what is happening to the Palestinians. This world disgusts me... #cdnpoli #gaza

NBC News: Ghislaine Maxwell was ineligible to be transferred to a minimum security prison camp β€” like the one she was transferred to in TexasΒ β€” because she is a convicted sex offender, according to the Bureau of Prison's own designation policy.

In order for Chris Barber to appreciate what the Ottawa occupation did to people, he's been sentenced to listen to Tamara Lich play guitar and sing for three weeks. A harsh penalty indeed... #cdnpoli #freedomconvoy

Campaign was all lies? We're dealing with an irrational loon who changes daily? He's spoke with 80 world leaders already, to my mind we've done a great job pivoting. And he said we were moving fast on prices , that was as clear as day. The Premiers are all saying the same too.

I like the strong tone of the PM and Premiers today, there is an emerging "your loss America" attitude developing, which is a by-product of concrete alternatives. Nobody is grovelling or willing to take a bad deal, we're nimble and pragmatic. Basically a EFF YOU TRUMP sentiment. #cdnpoli

The Canadian media live in a world that doesn't exist. We aren't "winning" here with tariffs, we're trying to mitigate the damage, while simultaneously diversifying our trade options. Canada will pay a high price for this disruption, so stop acting like reality is a failure. It's reality. #cdnpoli

I'm 2018 Poilievre argued Trans Mountain protesters should be arrested if they impeded people's ability to earn a living. Today he's arguing it's insanity to punish people who shutdown a city and impacted thousands ability to earn a living. Hypocrisy is his most reliable trait. #cdnpoli

Saw another news clip and they showed Tamara Lich and her shitty band playing Neil Young's "Rockin in the Free World". It's so perfect, these ant-vax misfits so self unawareness to play a guy who's life partially depended on a vaccine, stands polar opposite to their stance. Such ignorant fools.

Poilievre delivering more donuts to his extremist friends, who held a capital hostage and embarrassed Canada around the world. Remember these moments when he tries to paint himself as a moderate to get elected. This shows who the CPC base is that backs Poilievre, the fringe LOONS. #cdnpoli
