If Jagmeet had this much attention a couple years ago he might have won. I love the absurdity of it all here, it’s so perfect and on brand.

Albertans will overwhelmingly vote against a referendum, but Smith has legitimized, frankly entrenched the separatist movement. Never forget that a win tonight is still a loss, if we move back to when she started this absurd process. Grievance is now institutionalized. #cdnpoli

Trump: "The United States Department of Interior wants to take a terrible and very unsafe golf course, and make it into a great, safe, and prestigious golf course. They have an absolute right to do so. It’s as simple as that! The judge on the case is a crazed lunatic whose courthouse tapes will reveal, may be insane? The tapes have been blocked from usage by the judge. The random golfer bringing the ridiculous lawsuit has ZERO STANDING! The experts at 'Interior' are allowed to do this First Class renovation 'as of right.' They do not need an approval. Work is scheduled to begin IMMEDIATELY! The finished product will be World Class, and bring income and great prestige back to D.C. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT"

Canada’s inflation isn’t great, but compare our 3.1 rate to the 3.7 of the Americans, we’re below expectations, they’re above, I’d say we’re doing relatively well. Also shows what a tire fire the US is right now, obviously. Enjoy the tariff greatness. #cdnpoli

Wow. 43.1% of all eligible voters have already cast a ballot in Alberta's referendum. (837k in advance polls, 519k by special ballot). With 1,356,873 votes already, the total is likely to blow past the 1,763,441 ballots cast in the 2023 provincial election.

Europe is developing its own Starlink alternative. Canada is developing its own Starlink alternative. What he did in Ukraine made one thing crystal clear: you cannot trust this man or his products.

Recall the CRTC banned RT Russia for hate speech and "undermining democratic institutions and the sovereignty of another country". Read the decision, then apply to FOX News, one wonders why the same logic isn't applied? Only difference, threatening OUR sovereignty. #cdnpoli
