Had a great time chatting with @spaikin about my book about Richard Nixon's secret 1957 visit to Canada on @TheAgenda #cdnpoli #cdnhist youtu.be/YKOOsSyM83I?si=fnGR…

Avi Lewis: "The separation movement in Alberta has no point of comparison with the historic sovereignty movement in Quebec. This is a MAGA aligned, potentially funded, disruptive movement that has been really thrown into national prominence by Danielle Smith."
Perfect example of Conservative gaslighting. There was a 2012 plan to replace the snowbirds, but was rejected by Harper. But sure, lie to #cdnpoli by blaming only the Liberals to score partisan points... not a Liberal, but really tired of @CPC_HQ misinformation...

Another day, another shady deal for Doug Ford’s friends.
Metrolinx quietly signed off on a secret $500 million settlement with a company linked to the Premier’s close friend, Carmine Nigro - for “air rights” the company reportedly never even owned.
Ontarians deserve transparency and accountability, not backroom deals for insiders with connections to Doug Ford. #onpoli

Dont think versions of this arn't happening in #altapoli right now... the entire separation exercise, a fringe movement at best, is being amplified by a Premier who doesn't understand rule of law or Constitution, & looks other way while bad actors undermine democracy...
Premier of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen posted the following on Facebook:
🇬🇱 Greenland is not for sale 🇬🇱
It should not be necessary to say so. But apparently it is.
A foreign individual is offering money in exchange for a signature to incorporate Greenland into another country. That is not only deeply concerning. It is disgraceful.
This is not how you treat a people. And this is not how you speak about a country.
We are a democratic society. Our future will not be negotiated in a taxi. And it will not be bought with money.
I strongly condemn this kind of behavior. And I expect the respect that every country is entitled to to be shown internationally.
Decisions about our country are made by us alone. That should be easy to understand.
Danny Brandt, a taxi driver in Nuuk, shared an experience today on his own Facebook profile involving a passenger from the United States.
According to Danny, the American passenger asked him during the ride if he would accept $200,000 in exchange for signing a petition.
When Danny asked what the petition was about, the man allegedly replied that he was in Greenland to collect signatures in support of Greenland becoming part of the United States.
Danny Brandt naturally declined the offer and later contacted the police. According to Danny, the case has now been reported, and the police are currently investigating the individual further.
This post has been approved by Danny Brandt.

U.S., Russia interfering in Alberta separatist debate, study says | Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/11831073/…
In 1917, 9 Liberals joined Conservatives Union government to support conscription...in 1945 8 independents from Quebec voluntarily supported Liberals to form majority government, in 2001 13 left or were expelled from Alliance party... IN FACT, you didn't look very hard #cdnpoli

Replying to @PierrePoilievre
@PierrePoilievre Your screenshot features a commentary piece claiming @MarkJCarney printed too much money and left a mess resulting in 11.1% inflation. The timeline and hard data show a completely different sequence of events. Mark Carney left the BoE in March 2020. During his entire seven-year tenure, UK inflation averaged just 1.6%.
The 11.1% peak hit a 41-year high in October 2022 under his successor. The Telegraph deliberately confuses correlation with causation by linking his previous monetary policies to this spike. Quantitative easing in the 2010s was a standard macroeconomic stabilization tool used by all central banks.
The actual drivers of the 2022 inflation surge were the massive post-pandemic supply chain collapse and the global energy crisis following the invasion of Ukraine. Blaming a retired central banker for global supply shocks two and a half years after his departure requires ignoring basic linear time. Every major G7 nation faced these exact same inflationary pressures simultaneously.
As for the claim that "Now it is Canada's turn", we can look at the actual data from his first year as PM. He secured over 20 new economic and defence partnerships. He officially launched Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) negotiations with India, accelerated Mercosur free trade negotiations with a target completion by autumn, and established a value-based recalibration with China. Canada is currently executing a $1 trillion investment plan focused on energy, AI, and critical minerals.
I prefer looking at trade statistics and macroeconomic realities over imported political commentary. The math speaks for itself.

You really went back to the MAGA style playbook for this one, didn't you?
Character assassination as a tool in politics can unfortunately be a double edged sword - he may partly repeat his success in cutting down another Liberal leader, but it might cost him even more than he has already lost....

What was meant to be a show of force has spiraled into a full-blown agricultural disaster. T.r.u.m.p’s latest potash tariffs were designed to pressure Canada, but instead they detonated inside America’s own farming heartland. In an emergency meeting at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a senior Trump adviser reportedly admitted the unthinkable: the policy had backfired so badly that American farmers may not survive the growing season.
Canada wasted no time. As the world’s largest potash supplier, Ottawa redirected exports to Asia and Europe within days, locking in billion-dollar contracts and tightening its grip on the global fertilizer market. One Canadian official mocked the situation bluntly, saying that if the U.S. doesn’t want Canadian potash, the rest of the world gladly will.
On the ground in Iowa, the consequences turned personal. A U.S. farmer broke down during a live interview, explaining that without Canadian potash, crops simply cannot be grown at scale. The result is stark: Canada posts record profits and cements its status as the undisputed “fertilizer king,” while the United States loses control of a critical supply chain at the worst possible moment of the planting season. Analysts are already calling this the worst trade failure of Trump’s year — a pressure tactic that ended up crushing the very people it claimed to defend.
Translation: I'm ok with people breaking the law, when they do it to advance my interests... add removing Presidential pardon power to list of needed democratic reforms....
“I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval,” Trump said in a recent meeting to laughs, according to people with knowledge of the comments. That radius appears to be expanding as the president repeats the line. Another person who met with Trump earlier this year said the president quipped about pardoning anyone who had come within 10 feet wsj.com/politics/policy/trum… @jdawsey1

OMG! This spot-on Karoline Leavitt impersonation is courtesy of our friends in Canada. 😂🤣👇
His MPs & former MPs have never stopped with the misinformation & personal smears of opponents, partisan rhetoric putting party before country, & amplifying conspiracy theories so perhaps not surprising #cdnpoli
What will Americans do if Trump resorts to a nuclear strike to save his failing military campaign? What will a nuclear strike embolden Russia, China, India, Pakistan & India to do in the near future? This criminal madman's folly is a danger to everyone...
Easter eggs & bunnies are actually pre-Christian symbols for a celebration of spring... why does someone with such a wide following misinform people & seek to manufacture rage over some false religious point?
Dear Cadbury,
“From Cadbury this season.”
What season?
Go on, say it.
It’s EASTER. You are selling EASTER eggs for the EASTER SEASON.
How dare you profit off a Christian holiday while erasing its Christian origins.
They are Easter eggs.
It is Easter.
Shame on you.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The word Easter is written on top of the boxes as per the photo from another post x.com/potter2207/sta…
With 20% of world's oil supply cut off in the Strait of Hormuz, watch for commentators to start talking about America's strategic oil reserve of hundreds of millions of barrel, & for Trump to start selling it off at a profit....
BREAKING: Crude oil price has surged by 22%, now trading at $111.
