"You maybe don't like the way the president says it."

U.S. Ambassador Hoekstra says Trump's claim that America doesn't need anything from Canada is actually an invitation.

You have absolutely disgraced yourself publishing this, globe.

We all clearly don’t hate the media enough.

@JeffVeillette Raptors had a similar draft party last year for only members and was also $10 to charity. I attended with my family and it was great (anticlimactic with CMB pick but obviously everyone is happy now). This year Leafs are offering to general public not just members

It took City Council 37 seconds to decide to scalp FIFA tickets. See how it went down 👇🏻

@McFranchisee @McDonaldsCanada Yes, these are the only options. For those that still have self-serve fountains, the popular thing to do is mix Fruitopia orange with Sprite to make up for no Fanta!

The CBC "prank show" deception scandal is getting so much worse.

The producers (operating under fake identities/fake company names with fake websites) told a number of RCMP veterans - people who dedicated their lives to serving on the frontlines - that they were invited to film for a show called "Life After Service." A ceremony to thank them for their service would follow, and they were told dignitaries would be present. This would take place at the CBC Vancouver studio. They were told to come in uniform.

When the RCMP vets arrived at the CBC Vancouver studio on March 25th and 26th, the "pranksters" took their phones away, which they claimed was CBC Vancouver studio policy. The former RCMP officers were also placed in front of an audience of what they were told were about two dozen "journalists." And it was sprung on them that this was a "live broadcast", with "media availability" afterwards!

Then the producers switched up the whole session to be not about life after service, but the historical wrongs committed by the RCMP against indigenous peoples - to berate these vets for being part of the RCMP.

There is so much more but I am hoping the individuals targeted in this elaborate scheme will be able to share their stories themselves.

Seriously, what even sounds remotely funny or silly about this concept? It is just sick and cruel

@CBCNews and @APTNNews... what are you thinking?

@JonesOnTheNBA @Ethiopianlion99 No Ingram replaced Pascal who they did not want to pay $50m per year who didn’t fit with Scottie. Though I agree OG is better than RJ/IQ

The Founder of Shopify,

One of the smartest& wealthiest Canadian,

CORRECTLY points out, that there’s a Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) in Canada.

“The obvious way for prosperity here is to build the sh*t out of pipelines,

build the sh*t out of our industry,

get resources that everyone needs…

We have the most educated workforce on planet earth.”

Not a single lie was told.

How can you not love Tobi

Honest. Pragmatic. Centred.

@alleria_eh Been a STH since 2011, when tickets costed 3 times less than they are now. I was 31, and I tried really hard in school to one day fulfil my dream. I sell my tickets privately at my cost. TM charges seller 10% and buyer 25%. Now i cant recoup my cost if sell on TM.

[cbcwatcher @cbcwatcher]

ABSOLUTELY MUST WATCH CLIP... Deputy US Trade Representative Rick Switzer on USMCA

"They can have a weak economy that is underperforming and not doing well, and Carney can feel superior."

"Or they can have an economy that participates with as a partner of the U.S. economy."

"And Carney can do what a grownup should do, which is figure out."

"...It's my job as a person who's supposed to protect Canadian jobs and Canadian citizens and the Canadian economy to not let my ego and my feelings dictate what's best for my own economy."

Q "Do you think this will have implications for the USMCA?"

Switzer "Yeah, of course it is..."

"Look, was Ambassador Greer in Canada? Did he meet with Carney? No."

"...The grownups are in the room talking because there's a grown up in the presidency in leadership there, and I would argue there's not a grown up in Canada in charge there."

"You don't go out of your way to antagonize the leader of the country that you are absolutely existentially tied to."

"It's just political malpractice." @markjcarney

🚨BREAKING: DOJ charges the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with wire fraud, false statements, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The SPLC secretly funneled $3M+ in donor funds to violent racist extremist groups:

-Ku Klux Klan
-American Nazi Party
-Aryan Nation
-United Klans of America
-Unite the Right
-National Alliance
-National Socialist Movement
-Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club
-American Front

To hide the payments, SPLC allegedly opened bank accounts under fictitious entities to conceal the source and control of donor funds.

Per the indictment: an SPLC field source was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville — made racist postings under SPLC supervision and helped coordinate transportation to the event.

FBI Director Kash Patel: "They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups — even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes."

Acting AG Todd Blanche: "The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence. Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked."

Scheme allegedly ran 2014–2023.

FBI calls it an ongoing investigation.

Insane!!!

Make Canada so compelling that the best and brightest want to net-immigrate, not flee.

Let's stick to good ideas, of which Pichette has plenty. Making Canada a cage is not one of them.

[Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 @ryangerritsen]

The Liberal party has Patrick Pichette a former Senior VP of Google on stage who lives in Europe by the way, say that if Canadians want to leave Canada to work in the US they need to pay an exit tax of half a million dollars. The guy did the very thing to get a Microsoft job decades ago and paid 30 bucks. Now he wants young Canadians to be trapped here. The Liberals are nuts.
