David Cochrane: "I never stop to be shocked at how shocked the Americans are at the logical consequences of their actions, 'Can you believe they're not selling our booze after we disrupted all of their core industries?'"

It means a new era and essentially a fresh start, and I think like a lot of folks Iโ€™m looking forward to seeing what happens. The real question is: will the provincial wings chill out long enough to give Avi Lewis a chance? #cdnpoli

Tumbler Ridge is a small planned resource community, a winding 90 minute drive from the nearest city of at least 10,000 people. A massive number of people are going to descend there tomorrow. May those that arrive have respect and grace for the unimaginable grief.

Eby is absolutely right - those who actively conspire with a foreign power (including the Unites States) and request its resources to try to break up Canada are engaged in treason. But will there be enough political will to tackle the problem before the damage is done? #elbowsup

(CBC) - British Columbia Premier David Eby says Alberta separatists meeting with the U.S. administration for financial backing is an act of โ€œtreason" and it's an issue he'll raise as the premiers gather with the prime minister in Ottawa today. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Trump was only on stage at Davos for about 60 seconds before he lobbed his first insult towards #Europe. Classyโ€ฆ

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore. We can argue about it but there's no argument. Friends come back from different places and say, 'I don't recognize it.' And that's not in a positive way. That's in a very negative way."

What if heโ€™s not confusing Iceland not with Greenland but with Antarctica, and heโ€™s totally expecting a call from the Penguin Politburo asking to join the Board of Peace? At this rate anything seems possible in this timeline.

Trump: "We're also the most secure. As an example, Iceland, without tariffs they wouldn't even be talking to us about it. So we'll see what happens."

"The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy. But from the fracture, we can build something better, stronger and more just." Pax Americana is long gone. Time for the world to replace it with something better. #Canada #Greenland #EU

cbc.ca'The old order is not coming back,' Carney says in provocative speech at Davos | CBC NewsPrime Minister Mark Carney delivered a frank assessment of how he views the world in a provocative speech in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, where he said the longstanding U.S.-led, rules-based intern...

I heard a second-hand story from a family member about a couple trying to cross the Canada-US border, and the American customs officer asked them what they think of Trump's 51st state comments. They said, "Honestly we don't think highly of it." Then they were refused entry.

Carney to Trump: "There are some places that are never for sale ... having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign, it's not for sale. It won't be for sale ever."

Seems like Trump, Vance and the rest of the MAGA crew want to throw Carney off-balance in front of the cameras, but good chance theyโ€™re going to be in for a surprise this time. #cdnpoli #elbowsup

Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social

Minutes before Carney is slated to pull up to the White House, Trump posted this: โ€œWe don't need their Cars, we don't need their Energy, we don't need their Lumber, we don't need ANYTHING they have, other than their friendship, which hopefully we will always maintain.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Totally worth getting up early here in Iceland ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ to see the elections results rolling in live back home in #Canada๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ With these results Parliament is likely going to be a rough ride, but this could also be an opportunity to push for further change (even electoral reform). #cdnpoli #elxn45 #elbowsup

As reported by the CBC, the fake journalists that support Poilievre on the right accosted real journalists inside the #debate2025 room and made such a scene that the post-debate scrum had to be cancelled for security reasons. It says a lot about Canada's loony right wing and their enablers. #cdnpoli

Here is Ricochet Media's @ethancox.bsky.social dressing down Ezra Levant for disrupting the leaders debate "What I don't like Ezra is you preventing us from being able to ask questions on behalf of the public -- you created a circus here"
