Scary report from Justin Ling for ⁦@TorontoStar⁩ on Tories’ aggressive control of media coverage of their campaign: how many questions, who asks them, on what. This is exactly what Trump does in the US. Defunding CBC is part of this too. #cdnpoli https://t.co/bkZAsyaUo4

Stephen Harper wants you to blame CANADIANS for Trump’s chaos.

Canadians didn’t elect him.

We didn’t cause the tariffs.

We didn’t cause markets to plummet.

Canadians don’t want to annex Greenland or Panama.

Canadians aren’t praising Putin.

Stephen, stop defending Trump.

Just read @MarkJCarney’s nature announcement today committing that all @ParksCanada Parks & Historic Sites will be free this summer!!! Super smart incentive for Canadians to spend their time & money appreciating amazing Canadian places! Woo hoo! 🥳 (pic from Elk Island NP)

Good grief! That CCP number is frightening!

I'm so mad about this. Elon's the right hand of the maniac actively trying to take 🇨🇦 over. WHERE IS YOUR LOYALTY, @fordnation?! These men are a clear and present danger to Canadians....but sure, hand over $100 million of OUR MONEY TO THEM?!

Honestly, what is wrong with you?

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

Ontario’s $100 million gift to Elon Musk is back on. Rip up the deal, Premier @fordnation.

Reminder that Doug Ford is funnelling your taxpayer dollars to Elon Musk. The same person that is encouraging Donald Trump to attack our country. That is indefensible.

[Barbara Van Hatten @bvanhatt]

@BonnieCrombie Tell him to cancel the Starlink contract. He’s inviting the fox into the hen house in the middle of a trade war. Nonsensical. There is a Canadian alternative.

[Hannah Thibedeau @HannahThibedeau]

Great idea!

[Peter Ratcliffe, forever Canadian 🇨🇦 @PeterHRatcliffe]

Doug Ford must immediately cancel his $100 million deal with Starlink, a deal that he made without public consultation.

We cannot develop any reliance on US based service providers in an unstable political environment that disrespects signed agreements on a whim.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

The tariffs imposed by the United States today are a clear violation of our trade agreements and require the most serious trade and economic responses in our history.

@SeamusORegan Run again, Seamus. You were an amazing Minister!

I love my American neighbours and celebrate our differences, but I wouldn’t want to be an American. I am proudly Canadian. Retweet if you agree!

[Barbara Van Hatten @bvanhatt]

@juliatocheri Oh, that is 🤣🤣…. Perspective is everything!!!!

[Bruce Anderson @bruceanderson]

It might well be an election about which leader has the most reassuring approach to tackling the relationship. It's possible the PM could win such an election. But it might need to start with saying - "this is serious" rather than "don't worry, we've got this".
