By adopting the language of change the old guard are trying to overwrite their history of complicity without acknowledging the damage they caused. If they failed to see the US as a predator what makes them qualified to tell Canadians what to do now? Read: hegelversusmarx.substack.com/p/a-policy-rev…

@Meghan_NL @atrupar This is just the opening salvo in what will become a focused strategy to generate economic and political uncertainty in Canada in the lead up to negotiations. Our leaders like all Canadians must hold the course as the pressure builds. Here's why: peacediplomacy.org/2026/03/31/des…

@atrupar Lutnick is a legitimate idiot. His rhetoric won't get Canada to concede a damn thing and he dramatically underestimates our willingness to walk away from negotiations if they're not in our interests. x.com/sarobertsonca/…

LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours

You are going to be amazed by how fast the media manage to bury yet another stunning story of the Zelensky organised crime syndicate. The EU has just unfrozen a $90 billion euro loan to this crook and his mates.

@macleans Hard to believe your editors saw fit to publish this.

Canada’s bilingualism policy produces some strange spectacles: French schools in the Arctic, French CBC programming for Albertans, prime ministers speaking French in Australia, a $126-million French-language university in Toronto with just 25 students. In an essay for Maclean’s, commentator @JJ_McCullough argues that these are signs of a political doctrine that has become more revered than rationally defended. “State-mandated bilingualism conflicts with Canada’s self-image as a fair and merit-based democracy,” he writes. “And the worst may be yet to come.” McCullough writes that the usual case for bilingualism rests on shakier ground than Canadians like to admit. It’s often justified as a historic obligation to one of the country’s “two founding peoples.” But he points out that Canada was never meaningfully a country of only two peoples. In any case, he argues that official bilingualism was more of an accommodation to keep Quebec nationalism in check. “Official bilingualism nevertheless remains venerated by all manner of Canadian elites as a taboo in the truest sense,” he writes. McCullough’s point is that the language policy merely privileges a narrow pool of bilingual people from the Laurentian region to the upper ranks of politics, government and public institutions. The result, he argues, is a gatekeeping system that shuts many Canadians out of top careers. “This bilingual glass ceiling on political talent has warped Canadian democracy,” he writes. “Review the heads of basically any senior federal institution, be it the courts, Crown Corporations, the military or some major regulatory board and you’ll find a Canadian elite that remains much whiter and much more Laurentian than the country it rules.” In a country that presents itself as multicultural, meritocratic and inclusive, he argues, official bilingualism is becoming harder to defend as anything other than exclusion with financial and cultural costs. macleans.ca/politics/offic…

@avilewis Canada needs to hunker down. Here's how.peacediplomacy.org/2026/03/31/des…

Canada has already paid an "entry fee" in these negotiations — dropping counter-tariffs and scrapping the Digital Services Tax, a modest tax on the world's most profitable tech giants, at the behest of Donald Trump. Those concessions got us nowhere. Prime Minister Carney, now is not the time to concede further ground. Canada must show resolve in the face of Trump's bullying and stand up for workers, jobs, and Canadian industries. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Tensions commerciales Canada–États-Unis : @Val_Beaudoin, chercheuse associée à la Chaire Raoul-Dandurand, estime que les États-Unis cherchent à maintenir un rapport de force via les tarifs et rappelle qu’ils ont eux-mêmes poussé de nombreux pays, pas seulement le Canada, à diversifier leurs marchés.

The double standards are glaring.

Two years ago today @torontolibrary helped Israel and its lobby in Canada erase Refaat Al Areer’s poem, If I Must Die, from its shelves. Canada’s institutions are complicit in this genocide in so many different ways.

Oh look. Even the Brit beneficiaries of the much-vaunted "Special Relationship" now grasp the reality that the spineless MAGA-loving Canadian right still can't handle. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

He didn't "die." He was raped to death, according to multiple reports.

@GenevaTradeLaw @paulvieira @acoyne Canada may never be able to solve US economic coercion but its peoples can work together towards building harm reduction strategies that work in our favour. Here's how: peacediplomacy.org/2026/03/31/des…

I have no idea why Canada would be doubling down on globalization when its biggest market has 50% tariffs on Canadian exports. It's entirely unclear to me why repeated threats of annexation through economic destruction would push Canada to look for global partners.

@ForeignPolicy To respond to this source of US leverage, Canada needs a "National Dream 2.0". Here's how: hegelversusmarx.substack.com/p/grey-zone-ta…

Canadian crude remains the most deeply integrated and politically reliable external energy relationship available to the United States, writes Alejandro Reyes. foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/20/can…

@Villgecrazylady I believe everyone realizes at this point that the fact that Trump picks up when Laura Loomer calls is, in and of itself, an impeachable offense…

Unfrigginbelievable. So our Secretary of State, acting on a “tip” from a mentally ill influencer, arrested and is detaining two legal citizens with green cards for the crime of having the wrong last names. How much more cartoonishly evil and stupid can this administration get?

@JeanCharest_ My research shows that the "truth" Canada must face isn't just about tariffs, but about how U.S. policy uncertainty is used as a tool of control to keep Ottawa in a reactive, subordinated position. Patience is key but so too is sovereignty. peacediplomacy.org/2026/03/31/des…

Les américains sont nos voisins, nos amis, nos alliés. Il faut faire attention à ne pas leur donner le sentiment que nous leur sommes hostiles. Notre différend est avec une administration, pas avec un peuple.

“[Canada is] doubling down on globalization when we’re trying to correct for the problems of globalization”😂 The vast majority of our trade is conducted with *one* nation, you moron. Yours. The US is far more globalised than Canada is. @jamiesongreer ctvnews.ca/politics/artic…

Cenk Uygur just read the testimonies that the media refuses to report. A 42-year-old Palestinian woman was bound naked to a metal table and raped by Israeli soldiers for two days. A 35-year-old Palestinian man was forced to strip, had dogs urinate on him, and then a dog penetrated his anus. There are dozens of such testimonies. Cenk argues that the media does not report these because they do not view Muslim lives as important. They have internalized the propaganda that Muslims are terrorists who deserve what they get. This is the reality of Israeli detention and Western media complicity
