There's been a lot of hate (again!) towards PM Mark Carney and a possible recession.

Let me remind you, the US, our biggest trading partner, has threatened to annex us, imposed illegal tariffs on us, and is going back and forth on CUSMA.

Not only that, but there is also currently a war affecting global economies, again started by the US.

Mark Carney has had to negotiate through all of this. He has been steadily working on trade deals with other countries. He has to deal with the orange turd's lies and threats. It has been a tumultuous time for him, and he is doing a fantastic job.

Poilievre and the Cons, however, seem to want Canada to fail. They thrive on hate and division. Please don't listen to them.

I stand with Mark Carney as I know he only wants what is best for Canada and Canadians.

🟥 When your economy is under an aggressive and SUSTAINED assault for more than a year and a half, by the most powerful country on earth, currently led by destructive maniacs that want to annex your country and are doing everything they can to destroy your economy - and you are STILL standing, and STILL creating jobs ... 🙂

Follow the Leader. 🎶 💃🏻🕺🏻👍🏼

Thank you, Mark.

This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Politics in Canada has certainly turned ugly in the last ten years. I believe this is fuelled by the CPC and foreign interests in our country. Let PM Carney have his term and see how he does. The people will decide whether he’s doing a good job or not. This constant bitching and moaning by the CPC has ruined their party.

On this 82nd anniversary of D-Day, remember: The way we wonder why Germans didn’t stop Hitler is exactly how the rest of the world views Americans and Trump today.

[InfoGram @_InfoGram_]

🇺🇸 Pete Hegseth in Normandy:

"Today, dangerous ideologies storm other European beaches."

"Boats and men keep landing in Spain, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria."

"When will Europe’s capitals stop this invasion? Too late already?"

No class. Disgraceful. Worst D-Day speech an American has ever given.

This man is pure clown.

[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

I'm afraid that this is why the US administration wants to shut down ocean observations: they don't want the people to know what is happening in our oceans, as it does not fit their ideology and the interests of their fossil fuel industry funders.

Beware. The Alberta separatist movement is foreign interference:

[Michael T. Lester @MichaelTLester]

Are you OK with this?

In June, the U.S. government began pulling more than 900 deep-sea instruments out of the ocean.
Instruments that have spent a decade tracking ocean temperatures, storm formation, and the currents that determine whether the American interior gets rain or drought.

This network cost $48 million a year to operate. That is less than half the price of a single F-35 fighter jet.

Think this doesn't affect you because you live far from the ocean? The Gulf of Mexico's surface temperature determines how much rain falls on Midwest farms. Ocean data is crop data. It is flood data. It is drought data.

If a current political party doesn't like what the data shows, just stop collecting it.

Is that the country you want to live in?

Dear Canadians mucky-mucks: if you are invited to ANYTHING with the USA ambassador including a 4th of July 250 fete don’t go. It’s a dignity thing now. 🇨🇦

Is he fucking joking with this shit??
Or does he have amnesia? PP and the conservatives have been going non stop with the rhetoric for the past 4-6 years!!
The fucking audacity of this guy!! 🙄😤😡

[Dean Blundell🇨🇦 @ItsDeanBlundell]

Ah, Trump's MAGA piss boy, US Ambassador to Canada, @petehoekstra, mocking Canada/pushing the 51st State rhetoric again.
Here's your reminder that he's nothing more than a MAGA operative and a dangerous extremist who can fuck all the way off.

[Riley Donovan @valdombre]

US Ambassador Hoekstra should be expelled from Canadian soil for promoting annexation.

[Michael Mahoney @MikeTheNavyGuy1]

Carney doesn't have a private jet. The Air Force owns and flies those jets. Just like if Pollievre was PM.

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism?
