Happy #BarackObamaDay to the USA.

Today is a reminder that America is capable of infinitely better. Of choosing joy, class, intelligence, and integrity.

There is no perfect candidate, but this depravity and cruelty doesn't have to happen again.

#YesWeCan #PresidentsDay #uspoli #ObamaDay #VOTE

Most coverage on this has focused on ruined vacations. While unfortunate & crippling for an economy depending on tourism, US actions are having more dire consequences. Yet again this regime is ruining lives, starving people & it's up the rest of the world to step in & give aid, despite 45's threats.

The lack of awareness is stunning. Why do they think MAGA's so supportive of the movement?

At best AB ends up a US territory. No voice while USA gets AB resources + inroads into Canada & the north.

The idea that Senate would make this unworkable is hilarious. When have they stopped 45 on anything?

Pierre Poilievre’s new governing council stacked with corporate lobbyists ⋆ The Breach Lobbyists and anti-abortion activists on influential body are a contrast to Conservative Party’s public messaging

CPC continue showing how disconnected they are with reality & Canadians at large. PP gets 87% from his faithful, Jamil Jivani & Alberta separatists palling around with the Trump regime, all while being backed by MAGA & corporate lobbyists.

What we know about the ICE field offices in Canada | National As ICE continues its crackdown in the U.S., people are increasingly concerned about the agency's possible presence in Canada.

Unacceptable to have even a single #ICE agent in Canada. As long as they are acting as 45's personal militia and terrorists, they have no place in our country. 🇨🇦

#Ottawa #Calgary #Montreal #Vancouver #Toronto are listed as "field offices". Contact your city/prov/fed officials to demand #ICEout

The childish approach PP is taking to this speech just continues to show why he cannot lead this country.

#NeverPoilievre #canpoli #cdnpoli

The Con leadership seems inevitable. Voting only in person in AB was no mistake. Cons seem blind to the options before them.

1. Keep PP & continue sliding far right, ceding mods to LPC & likely give them a majority
2. Dissolving back into Reform & PC
3. Oust PP & have a chance to reclaim the party

Nationwide Strike to demand #ICEout #January30
All of America needs to join Minnesota standing up against ICE. If they aren't terrorizing your community, it just means you're next.
Worldwide, don't shop US goods/services. Economic blackout is needed for a regime that only understands money.

Image shows a stack of books with a gavel on top on the right. On the left is a quote from the film "The Talk of the Town" (1942) which reads: "...think of this country and of the law that makes it what it is. Think of a world crying for this very law! And maybe you'll understand why you ought to guard it. Why the law has got to be the personal concern of every citizen. To uphold it for your neighbor as well as yourself. Violence against it is one mistake. Another mistake is for any man to look upon the law as just a set of principles. And just so much language printed on fine, heavy paper. Something he recites and then leans back and takes it for granted that justice is automatically being done. Both kinds of men are equally wrong! The law must be engraved in our hearts and practiced every minute to the letter and spirit. It can't even exist unless we're willing to go down into the dust and blood and fight a battle every day of our lives to preserve it. For our neighbor as well as ourself!"

Lessons forgotten too quickly, now being relearned amid dire circumstances.

Join Minnesota #January23 for an economic shutdown in protest against the crimes ICE is committing in the streets and detention centres.

It's well past time for ICE to stop terrorizing people.

Fascinating watching Cons try to criticize #PMMC on the US.
He should be more elbows up but also not say/do anything to annoy the president & his lackeys?

They keep saying he was elected to make a deal with the US. No. He was elected to get us through 45's chaos...and to avoid being sold out by PP.

...is this not the bare minimum they should be doing?

I refer to him as "45" because, for many reasons, I refuse to legitimize the current regime.

One can hope this era will die with him, but there are many who would want to carry on his hateful, murderous legacy.

a man in a suit and hat is standing with his hands in his pockets in a black and white photo . Alt: GIF shows Cary Grant in the film His Girl Friday pointing as he says "get out".

World leaders sitting in that room, allowing 45 to rant for over an hour-making threats, insulting countries, being racist & misogynistic, lying incessantly-without leaving, booing, laughing him off the stage, SOMETHING, makes them part of the problem.
Global embarrassment.

#WEF #uspoli #worldpoli

Irresponsible reporting by CBC saying that the world got clarity from 45 on use of force in Greenland. To suggest that his word can be trusted on this (or anything) when it was part of a speech that he spent over an hour lying is absurd at best.

#canpoli #uspoli #worldpoli

Watching 45 speak at #WEF in Davos. Takeaway: it must be freeing to feel no need for -

1) real statistics or data
2) facts
3) self-awareness
4) respect for others
5) reality

The image is a collage of ways to barricade a door. The top shows a retail door barricade product while the bottom shows how to create the same with brackets and a piece of wood. The middle left shows a portable door jam that fits under the door. The middle right shows how using long screws in the door frame and hinges can provide stronger support for a door.

Unlawful entry is becoming increasingly common as #ICE terrorizes neighbourhoods across the US.

There are ways to reinforce your door to slow them down. It may not prevent entry but may provide time to contact law enforcement, a lawyer, or loved one.

Share tips to help keep people safe. #ICEout

"If you're not at the table, you're on the menu" #PMMC

No more placating, pandering, complying. 45's a threat in the US & around the world, in word & action plus the ripples created. Threatening Greenland has crippled Ukraine talks. Time to walk & chew gum. Global unity means both can be done.

Do you think that you best serve your constituents as a Liberal MP or have you considered crossing the floor and joining the NDP? Do the Carney Liberals still represent the values for which you were elected?

This weekend!

It will take everyone rallying together to put a stop to this.

Be safe, be peaceful, but this isn't a time to stand down.

ICE has been responsible for several deaths. Most recently, Renee Good, a mother & wife who was trying to do what was right for her community.

Stand together, remain peaceful. They want to incite violence. Don't give them what they want.

This is the humanity we need right now. We NEED to be taking this personally, to see ourselves and our families in every incident.

They win by dehumanizing, by warping reality, by dividing.

Minnesotans, Americans, global citizens. We need to stand together as humans to put a stop to their evil.

2026 will hold some challenging and frustrating moments, but also some amazing ones. We need to keep holding on to what rebellions are built on and collectively we can get through this.

Happy New Year!

May we all receive exactly what we put out into the world.

And much more "precedented times".

Okay, #NewYork you should definitely do this. Even if it just annoys him, it might distract 45 from doing more damage for a bit.

Skate Canada to stop holding national, international events in Alberta | CBC News Skate Canada says it will no longer host major events in Alberta following a review of the province's legislation on the participation of transgender athletes in women's sport. Premier Danielle Smith ...

Kudos to Skate Canada for calling the UCP on their bigoted nonsense. Every organisation should be standing against these discriminatory policies.

These are Canadian values- standing up for the rights & safety of everyone, especially those that need it most.

#canpoli #cdnpoli #ABpoli #RecallThemAll

Cons crossing the floor to join the LPC says as much about petulant, arrogant, repugnant PP as it does about Carney's swing away from Trudeau-era policies.

A Liberal minority at least needs the NDP or Green to keep focus on social & environmental supports.

Stay one seat short.

Trust Wayne Gretzky to absolutely botch the FIFA draw.

Who thought he was the right athlete to represent Canada on the world stage? 🤦

Image has a background of a body of water with an oil spill. In the top right corner is the cover of Mark Carney's book 'Value(s)'. Overlaid on the lower half of the image is the following text which is an excerpt from that book: Indigenous communities know that environmental and economic considerations are not independent factors to be weighed against one another. They are intrinsically linked. In many parts of Canada, such as on our Pacific coast and along our rivers, the environment is the economy. Indigenous traditions teach that we are not apart from nature but are integral to it. I have learned from my experience of Canada's north that we are just one small - and humble - element of an integrated ecosystem. We have to earn our right to take from our environment, while always respecting and nourishing it." pg 496

A reminder of your own words
@mark-carney.bsky.social
as you attend the Assembly of First Nations.

"our approach to sustainability should draw on the wisdom of Indigenous people"

Listen to Indigenous communities & most Canadians, not Danielle Smith & oil lobbyists.
