Hope everyone enjoyed their #familyday2024 , #LouisRielDay or Civic holiday in #canada. Here are few snaps I grabbed from a peaceful yet chilly 🥶 walk along the Waterfront Trail in my hometown of Ajax, #ontario today. 🇨🇦

I love that CBC's The National decided to dedicate an approximately 10 minute segment on one of its recent episodes to the results of Trump's dementia test. Nice. 👍

(This is sarcasm, if you can't tell. 😄)

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

@PrairieCatboy @mehdirhasan Yeah, the dude is clearly not from here. 😄

(To be clear I don't care much for either one of them.)

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

Don't really care much for football but congratulations to the Canadian men's team on their historic draw earlier today.

Yay, sports. 😂 ⚽ #worldcup #canada

[Devin Heroux @Devin_Heroux]

Canada’s March to the Match continues to work its way through the Toronto streets toward the stadiums.

Beautiful scenes as fans chant and cheer and high five fans who are lining the streets.

It’s going to be electric inside the stadium today.

@masking__mama @Upstate_Trash Okay now the notifications are working again 😂

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

@masking__mama I mean the Constitution applies to non-citizens as well, no? So yes you can keep him and his insane/inane ramblings too. 😂

Pack your bags then.

Canada needs to join the United States. Here’s how it could realistically happen.

@USAmbCanada, the U.S. should extend an offer to Alberta to become a territory with a pathway to statehood, should they vote in a referendum to leave. Under Canadian law, the “Reference in re Secession of Québec” (a ruling by Canada’s Supreme Court in 1998) means that an Alberta referendum vote on a clear question, with a clear majority to leave, would be binding on the Government of Canada.

Alberta is an excellent candidate to join the union. They have vast reserves of oil and natural resources. Culturally, they are identical to the American West — in tradition, religion, and values — as well as different from the rest of Canada. They feel contempt and alienation from the rest of Canada, because Ontario and Québec dominate at Alberta’s expense.

All that @realDonaldTrump has to do is release a TruthSocial post that reads: “Alberta, if you vote to leave Canada, we will welcome you to America with a pathway to statehood.” That’s enough. Alberta hasn’t voted yet because, independent from Canada, there is no good economic option for them. Joining the United States would give Alberta the option necessary to proceed.

If @POTUS acquires Alberta, he will have expanded the land territory of the Union more than any president since Thomas Jefferson. He will have changed the literal map of America that is our conception of this country. That’s a great legacy, especially for a real estate man as president. Not to mention, in that land he will have acquired billions of dollars in energy reserves and untapped critical minerals.

As a natural-born Canadian citizen, my loyalty is to the United States. I know that the only hope for Canada’s success is the United States. The Canadian state is mediocre and provinces will be forever trapped beneath its glass ceiling. By contrast, America has infinite opportunity and empowers its people, which would enrich Canadians holistically. Joining America would remedy a mistake that George Washington in 1775 sought to correct. It would be the greatest union in history.

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

@masking__mama @Upstate_Trash Given the heatwave 🥵 in the greater Toronto area right now, I would be tempted to just jump right in. 😂

(Sorry for the late reply for some reason I stopped getting notifications on my phone.)

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

@masking__mama Apparently he's already in the US. So...don't pack your bags, just stay where you are!😄

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

@BogartsEyeball I know, that's why I brought it up.

Not going to lie, the media frenzy that came about when that video was released was a pretty fun few weeks/month for us.

I still remember the appearance on Jimmy Kimmel and CNN coming to Toronto to do a feature on him. 😄

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

I seriously mean no disrespect and I wish Hunter Biden well but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with this information. Like, okay? Thanks? Why is everyone fawning over this tweet?

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

@Draven1683 I fucking love Canada.

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

@BogartsEyeball Yeah, if we're going to hate the US, at least we should be consistent, right? 😄

One of the comments even suggested that Hunter should run for mayor of Toronto because of the...uh...similarities...he shares with Rob Ford. Yeah, great comment.

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

@althiaraj No disrespect but this is a big nothing-burger.

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

Apparently the dude is a Canadian citizen living in the United States. In that case, uh...no, never mind! Don't pack your bags! Please! 🥺Stay where you are!🤣

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

"As a natural-born Canadian citizen, my loyalty is to the United States."

Pack your bags then.

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

@TheChaosWeeber @susandelacourt @althiaraj @TorontoStar Whether he's "conservative" or not depends on how you define it. To me he's just a blue grit. But unless he's truly toxic or verbally abusive that's not a reason to be upset with him. I've worked with people who are demanding and people who are jerks and there's a difference.

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

He yells 😢 OMG poor, fragile babies. Get a grip.

If I ever had the honour of serving in His Majesty's cabinet/government I'd take the yelling (or whatever it is) with good grace (regardless of party). Of all the things to complain about...

[TrendingPolitics.ca @TrendPolCa]

BREAKING: New reporting from @althiaraj reveals growing internal tension within the Liberal caucus, with MPs alleging that Prime Minister @MarkJCarney is tightly centralizing power and reacting harshly to internal dissent. 👇🧵 (1/5)

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

@TheChaosWeeber @susandelacourt @althiaraj @TorontoStar Maybe it's just me but I don't think that's a good enough reason to hate him. "He yells" I mean unless he's being demeaning or abusive to his caucus/colleagues yelling in such a high-stakes job isn't the biggest news. (Not a Carney-maniac.)

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

@BogartsEyeball ..., JJ thinks that Carney wants to turn Canada into a British colony again. 😄

He even called Justin Trudeau a "monarchist" if I remember correctly. 😄

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

Nice. A JJ tweet that I can agree with. 😄

[J.J. McCullough @JJ_McCullough]

Carney wishes we were England

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

@BogartsEyeball I won't pretend to be an expert (although I generally know what the old and current uniforms of the different branches look like having seen various pics). I just find it funny that anytime Carney (or anyone) does or says something relating to Canada's heritage...

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

It's funny that some of the people re-tweeting/quoting this in a "supportive" way are using Carney's message to do the thing that he is telling them (immigrant or otherwise) NOT to do.😄

[Riley Donovan @valdombre]

PM Carney tells immigrants to leave behind the feuds of their homelands:

"We don't welcome the world's hatreds"

"When you come to Canada you bring your faith, your tradition, your language, your story - you leave behind your animosities"

[The Crown in Canada @TheCrownCa]

These official symbols of the Governor General, as the Sovereign’s Representative in Canada, reflect constitutional authority, continuity and democratic tradition. 🇨🇦

[Bari B. 🇨🇦 @bfour_88]

@mileslunn @arjunswritings @USAmbCanada I tweeted "pack your bags" earlier but maybe that wasn't necessary then. 😄
