This is disgusting. These are the future GOP party leaders and their views. #uspoli

Canada, donโ€™t assume weโ€™re immune, we definitely have this type here too. #cdnpoli

Sadly yes :( I assume people are also more inclined to throw them out to avoid them being found in their car at a traffic stop. Thank you for helping clean up our planet! ๐ŸŒŽ

The image shows a tweet from Elon Musk announcing a $1 million award. The tweet reads:

โ€œExciting to announce our first million dollar award for supporting our petition against activist judges in Wisconsin! Next million dollar award will be announced in 2 days.โ€

Beneath this, another tweet from โ€œAmericaโ€ says:

โ€œScott A. From Green Bay, WI is the first $1 Million spokesperson for signing our Petition In Opposition To Activist Judges. Stay tuned between now and April 1st for more surprise announcements from Wisconsin. SIGN: petition.theamericapac.orgโ€

It also includes a graphic promoting the โ€œPetition in Opposition to Activist Judgesโ€ with the message, โ€œJudges should interpret laws as written.โ€

Well, Musk is at it again.

Bribing people with the chance to win a million dollars if they sign his petition to remove judges he disagrees with.

How is this legal, you ask? Well in MAGA country that really doesnโ€™t seem to matter. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ #uspoli

Such a petty move. The library opened in 1905, purposely built both in Canada and the US as a show of solidarity between residents on both sides of the border between ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ and ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ.

Trumpโ€™s administration has now cut off Canadaโ€™s access.

A French researcher was detained on arrival in the US, his computer and phone confiscated/ searched, and his texts criticizing Trump's cuts to scientific research were deemed by DHS agents as "hatred of Trump [that could bel described as terrorism." He was deported the next day.
According to a diplomatic source to AFP, the incident occurred on March 9. The space researcher was reportedly subjected to a random check upon arrival, during which his work computer and personal phone were searched. The same source also reported that messages discussing the Trump administration's treatment of scientists were found. He was reportedly accused of messages "that reflect hatred toward Trump and can be described as terrorism." His professional and personal equipment was reportedly confiscated, and the researcher was sent back to Europe the next day.
Reminder of freedom of opinion
According to another source briefed on the case to AFP, the French researcher was accused by the American authorities of "hateful and conspiratorial messages." He was reportedly informed of an FBI investigation, for which "charges were dropped," the source continued.

The image shows a news headline that reads, โ€œCross-border trips to the U.S. reach COVID lows with nearly 500,000 fewer travellers in February.โ€ The subheading says, โ€œThe number of trips hasnโ€™t been this low since the COVID-19 era.โ€ Below the headline, a Canada Border Services officer stands watching vehicles near a border crossing, with a Canadian flag in the background.

Thatโ€™s a half million decrease in one month. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

"We're only two months into a four-year administration. If they keep this up there will be no Canadians coming down here โ€” there will be a 100 per cent boycott of this country," he (Saunders) said.

Did Israel stop in Gaza and ask who was Hamas and who was just a Palestinian civilian? An attack from one group doesnโ€™t justify genocide on an entire people. Israel has more Palestinian hostages than Hamas has Israeli hostages, and Israel has killed far more as well. Including 14k CHILDREN.

Not all on the Privy Council receive the same clearances, and most of the clearances expire after a given period of time (5-10 years depending on the specific clearance I believe.)

1. Those aren't blanket tariffs, they're called "Tariff Rate Quotas" (TRQs), also known as "Over Quota Tariffs". This means, for example, that Canada can import about 12,500 metric tons of cheese with no tariff and the TRQ only applies to goods imported above that amount.
2. We have these Tariffs as a result of USMCA (the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, aso called CUSMA in Canada). This agreement was signed by the leaders of Canada, the US, and Mexico in 2018 and replaced NAFTA in 2020.
3. It's often overlooked that under the USMCA, the
U.S. also applies similar over-quota tariffs on similar Canadian products, like up to 218% on milk, for example.
4. At the time Donald Trump (who was the current president of the US at the time, and the one who signed the agreement) called the USMCA "one of the best trade deals the US ever made" and
"groundbreaking".

Iโ€™m tired of constantly explaining the difference between TRQs & blanket tariffs when people say things like โ€œWhy is Canada worried about a 25% tariff when they have a 250% tariff on American dairy!โ€

Iโ€™ve started just reposting an image of my explanation. Iโ€™m sure Iโ€™m not alone ๐Ÿ˜…

Itโ€™s actually the thirteenth time in our history that weโ€™ve had a new PM without a general election. Usually due to resignation, retirement, or death of the sitting PM.

The number of Canadians who donโ€™t understand how our own government works is astonishing.

The process that made Carney PM Designate is not only legal but itโ€™s also typical. Itโ€™s the same process we dealt with last in 2003, and first way back in 1891 when our very first PM died while in office. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Thatโ€™s actually not the case here :) They expect him to be sworn in as early as next week. Since he doesnโ€™t have a seat at this point he MUST secure one in the next by-election, though.
