@Winsleydale @brianlilley Suddenly, the US thinks that Europe doesn't have free speech?
Wait until someone tells them about Russia, China, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia!
They'll surely take a strong stand, right?

This is insane.
Can you imagine a politician who wouldn’t be guilty of breaking these laws?
CBS Interviewer : "Is posting an insult a crime?"
German prosectors: "Yes"
CBS Interviewer: "Is it a crime to repost a lie?"
German prosecutors: "Yes"

@QueitMiddleWing @brianlilley No, this is a false drama created by the US and their tech oligarchs.
English
@brianlilley It's odd. I am pretty sure I have heard many German politicians say offensive things.
I guess it's one set of rules for thee and another for me.

@brianlilley This is the globalists dream, and Carney/ Trudeau dream:: to put all those who disagree with them in jail.

@brianlilley A nation that created a genocide, killing more than 6 million Jews, attacked several countries in acts of war, censored and outlawed free speech and now, determines that free speech is illegal?
Sounds like Nazi Germany 2.0

@brianlilley To say 'Europe is going in the wrong direction' is an understatement.
🇨🇦is now strategic ground in a battle between two great western polarities: the EU/globalist pole and the US+ civic nationalist pole.
Our next election may well determine which polarity wins Canada.

@AlexpiersonAMP You literally don't know what "literally" means, do you?

From the party that literally shit on this country for a decade. Made us the butt of jokes on the world stage. Let Jew hate run rampant, made a mockery of foreign interference, made us totally uncompetitive. Violent crime soar… this sudden patriotism is laughable.

@robbysoave If social media companies want to operate in Germany, they should abide by its laws. Do you think Vietnam, Cambodia and Saudi Arabia give social media free reign? Of course not. So why the focus on Europe?
English
I know Europe has different legal and cultural norms about speech, but I have a very hard time watching this and not being utterly repulsed.
If that's how Germany wants to run itself, I suppose it's none of my business. But we should not allow them to sic the though police on American social media companies.

Posting or reposting false information in Germany can be a crime, and the punishment for repeat offenders can include jail time.

@dc_us @DollaramaRecipt @JLCauvin @dgendvil There's something called Westminster parliamentary democracy that makes it unnecessary.

I can't believe Canada is booing the USA National Anthem just because the US President is trying to hurt their economy and eliminate their national identity.
English
Whatever sympathy MAGA right had for Canada is fast disappearing thanks to Canadians booing the American national anthem at sports events.
Canadians have bought into the lie by politicians across the board that Trump wants to annex Canada, when what I believe is that he really wants Canadians to get rid of the Liberal government and have greater economic integration and cooperation with the US.
Don't buy the lie that Canada can diversify. We've been trying that since the time of Pierre Trudeau and it's not worked. And even if interprovincial trade barriers are removed, the US will still remain our most important trading parter by far. It's the law of gravity.
You don't want the American public to hate us like we're a foreign adversary. Again, a reminder we need America more than they need us and Canadians seem to have forgotten that basic fact.
Canadian politicians should be making the case to Trump that we need to have greater economic integration as it's in both our interests. They're not doing that because they're playing politics and playing to the flag waving patriotic upsurge. That won't put food on the table when high tariffs hit, so Canadian politicians ultimately are screwing us over.

@WilliamShatner Would becoming the 51st through 60th states be more appealing? I just think our countries are so well aligned.
English
You know, the folklore goes that during the War of 1812 that Canadians burned down the White House (it was the British.) I wouldn’t poke the bear to make the folklore come true…but do as you want.😑
SXHBK@SXHBK123
@WilliamShatner Hey Bill are you excited to become the 51st state soon ?

I’d love to see the Canadian team go, all of them, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the US team as soon as the Star Spangled Banner starts at the Four Nation Game on Saturday night.
Be classy .

@belisariusak @EricDLombardi Which known terrorist did the USA fund education for?

@bill_lite @EricDLombardi Same reason we funded the education of a known terrorist. Our leaders are fkn corrupt and or retarded.

@shuvmajumdar You and your greasy party don't have a monopoly on patriotism or the flag. You are just desperate.
English
When I woke up this morning, I didn’t have to remind myself to be proud of Canada. I always have been.
That’s the difference between Conservatives and the Carney-Trudeau Liberals—who, after nine years of dismantling this country’s legacy, suddenly drape themselves in the flag, hoping we’ll forget.
They erased Terry Fox and Vimy Ridge from our passports.
Declared Canada a “post-national state” with “no core identity.”
Dismissed Western civilization as “morally rotten.”
Conservatives don’t wear patriotism like a costume. We live it. We honour our history, defend our culture, and protect our independence.
And we will never stop putting Canada first. Canada last. Canada always.

@brianlilley You are literally a stenographer for Poilievre's team.

@waitbutwhy These things aren't that impressive when you consider the time, money, materials, and energy that we have spent and continue to spend making the gigantic infrastructure that underpins them. We give for everything we're getting.

I still cannot believe that I can:
- look at a world map and tap anywhere to zoom in at street level
- instantly access any song, book, movie, tv show, or podcast ever made
- have any conceivable question and get an immediate answer or video explanation
- take a photo or video wherever I am and add it to my massive, searchable, always accessible personal archive
- video call anyone in my life, at anytime, no matter where they are
- watch live sports on a little wireless glass rectangle
- type out these thoughts and have them read by thousands of people, all over the world, a few seconds later

The polling turn around is odd, the bounce is very expected, but it really does seem one poll cherry picked (an age group or more?) to get a narrative going and then it got some traction.
J.J. McCullough@JJ_McCullough
I find this odd. Carney is not a household name. Polls say most voters can't recognize his face. His only boosters have been elite pundits, and even then not much. I don't get why he would be popular, unless "anything but Trudeau" is truly a mighty force. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/02/11/leg…

This is worth a watch. He nails it.

@belisariusak @EricDLombardi Then why did the US sign those agreements?
English
@EricDLombardi Canada and the EU have been mocking America for decades. Canada has enjoyed some incredibly one-sided labor and trade relationships with America. Canada has been charging high tariffs on individual American products for years. Get bent.
