@MICHAELWAR50195 @habman93 So as Trump’s tenure implodes, the Right’s answer is to blame someone who hasn’t been President for 10 years in hopes of deflection? How was Obama responsible for the 2024 election of Trump? If anyone it’s on the Biden’s. But really it’s on the MAGA idiots and the world is paying

Former deputy PM John Manley: We used to always refer to the president of the United States as the leader of the free world. Donald Trump is not the leader of anything other than about the 37% of Americans that still support him. If anything, intellectually at least, Mark Carney has become the leader of the free world, the countries that believe in democracy and the rule of law.

[Jim Parker 🇨🇦 @jimparkermusic]

@JayGenXer @habman93 Oh FFS. Trump calling us the 51st state, calling Carney “Governor”, threatening us(and Greenland) with annexation…These aren’t actual threats? What planet is this guy on? “Heartfelt” my ass. Are we just supposed to ignore it? Get real…

[Jim Parker 🇨🇦 @jimparkermusic]

@ryangerritsen @habman93 If it means preventing them from reading the absolute crap that comes from people like you until they have the maturity to decipher just how bad it really is then I am 1000% behind it. If you have kids & don’t support this then that says it all about what kind of parent you are.

[Jim Parker 🇨🇦 @jimparkermusic]

Really???? That’s what you went to war for??? Death. Destruction. $100 billion? Depleted weapons stocks! For what? A worse situation than what was before?? What a useless waste of space this Administration is…

CBS: The Iranians are saying they're gonna have access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund. True or false?

JD VANCE: That's the sort of things they could have access to so long as they honor their end of the obligation

[Jim Parker 🇨🇦 @jimparkermusic]

@GadSaad What a complete and utter blowhard you are. Like Trump, you’re exactly what a human being should not be. Honestly, just move there already and leave the rest of us who love this country alone. Sheesh!

[(((Harry Enten))) @ForecasterEnten]

Trump's "I love the inflation" is one of the most politically tone deaf statements I've ever heard.

No prez before him ever had a -50 pt or worse net approval in an inflation poll. Trump's done it 8+ times.

Trump's the only prez to ever hit 80% disapproval on gas prices.

I support this 1000%

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Today, our government introduced new legislation to protect our kids online. Canada's Safe Social Media Act will hold social media and AI platforms accountable, make them safer, and restrict access to social media for children under 16.

More and more kids are suffering from anxiety, depression, self-harm, and exploitation. To keep our kids safe, we have to ensure that our laws keep up with technology.

Huge Canadian economic news:

Canada posted a $2.7B trade surplus for April; the highest in 15 months (since the trade war).

PM Carney just in the last week: 88K new jobs, $2.7B trade surplus; the man is doing his job in hyperdrive.

[Jim Parker 🇨🇦 @jimparkermusic]

@MarcNixon24 So not only Liberal governments but the much vaunted Harper Conservative one failed in planning for the future. So now Carney is taking the proper steps to ensure growth despite the short term pain required and you’re still not happy. Always complaining but no solutions from you.

@LindseyGrahamSC Where were you a year and a half ago when Trump stopped USAID and DOGE fired thousands of scientists and stripped funding and researchers from the CDC???

[Jim Parker 🇨🇦 @jimparkermusic]

@wealthmoose @habman93 No trade deal doesn’t mean no trade. It just means trade under different rules. Canada traded with the US for a century before Free Trade and CUSMA. No deal is better than a crappy deal.

And he wonders why we despise them right now…

[Jim Parker 🇨🇦 @jimparkermusic]

@USAmbCanada And you wonder why we despise and want nothing to do with you…

[Jim Parker 🇨🇦 @jimparkermusic]

@tvc1five @habman93 2. I’ll add, right now as you look at the map, I would say the US has not one true ally. Even as of today’s reported phone conversation I would have to say Netanyahu/Israel isn’t even a real ally. It’s why Trump looked so weak in China. No one backs him anywhere.

[Jim Parker 🇨🇦 @jimparkermusic]

@tvc1five @habman93 The United States in its current incarnation isn’t remotely Canada’s closest ally. They have proved it daily for the last year and a half. Save for a relatively small minority of right wing Trump supporters in the country, the majority of Canadians recognize this.

Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.

The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.

It had fewer than 50 employees.

And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.

Here is the part the administration tried to bury.

Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.

One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.

Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.

A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.

This is public money. Your money.

Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.

And there is more coming.

A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.

This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.
