@MrVanCough @MillzBryan @BohuslavskaKate Many U.S. bases employ thousands of local nationals as: Civilian contractors, Maintenance staff and Administrative staff. In Germany, estimates suggest 30,000–40,000 local civilians are employed by U.S. military bases. Wages paid to these civilians circulate in the local economy.

@MillzBryan @BohuslavskaKate Wonder when the penny will drop with people in the USA that they contribute $1 billion to the NATO annual budget, but receive $20 to $40 billion per year in weapons sales to NATO allies. Not to mention free bases across Europe for power projection.

ZELENSKYY: I want American people to understand: we are your allies in Europe. World has no distance anymore — when drones already strike thousands of kilometers. One, two, three years — drones will strike ten, twenty thousand kilometers. With reactive engines, they will be very cheap. There will be swarms of these drones. You can’t defend that by yourself. The world has to help countries defend themselves and push the aggressor back. That’s why, i think, Americans need us, and we need the United States.

@MrVanCough @MillzBryan @BohuslavskaKate ChatGPT "U.S. bases in Europe generate billions of dollars annually, with the largest effects in Germany, Italy, and the UK. The impact is both direct (spending, salaries) and indirect (local business growth), making them significant contributors to local economies near bases."

@SpencerFernando It's not about the MP it's about voters. I don't see a need to ban floor crossing but I do see the need to ban a party from aggressively approaching other MP's to convince them to cross over. Liberal MP's have been quite open about being in negotiations with MP's of all parties.

Were Canada to ban floor crossing, we would be suppressing the individual minds of those we elect, and further concentrating power in party leaders. As things stand now, floor crossing protects independence and keeps pressure on leaders to treat their colleagues well lest they watch those colleagues head elsewhere. Floor crossing – and the threat of it – protects us from a system where those we elect turn into mindless drones serving nothing more than the centralized will of ‘the leader.’ So, whether you agree with Gladu’s decision or not, it is essential to protect the right of MPs to cross the floor. The individual mind is the most precious resource we have.

@as_maruf62783 @Cappy_Nate META, X, Google and all the rest of these are making billions a year. Profit is literally all they think about.

@Cappy_Nate It’s because American corporations have got unlimited funds in the form of loans and venture capitals to operate without the thought of making profits. The real motive is to control the minds and hearts of the users.

@shipdit402 @RayDomano @gnue28 @404Happy @nut_meggy @MarilynGladuSL I don't think the real problem is the MP crossing the floor. I may be wrong but I believe this is the first time that any party, Governing or opposition have actively approached MP's from other parties to convince them to cross over. Liberal MP's have admitted they are in talks.

@RayDomano @gnue28 @404Happy @nut_meggy @MarilynGladuSL

However you feel about Gladu crossing to the Liberals, the reaction says everything: Conservatives will blame anyone but themselves for a decade of losses.

@gnue28 @404Happy @shipdit402 @nut_meggy Yes it's true you vote for the MP. You vote for the MP whose political policies are aligned with yours. You vote for the MP who will steer Canada in the direction you prefer. She won her seat with a Conservative platform not a Liberal one. When you vote you vote for the party.

@404Happy @shipdit402 @nut_meggy Learn how elections work in Canada. When you vote, you vote for the MP not the party or leader. And the MP represents you and not the party.

@itsaryaaa_ I knocked a girl out on a dance floor once. She smashed a beer bottle over a friend's head then turned on me with it. One punched her, best punch I've ever thrown. A fantastic brawl erupted instantly.

What would you do in this situation?

She met him at the club, thought it was smart enough to slap him because she thought she would get away with it. He didn’t react it get violent, he just got her arrested.

@DefiantLs I'm quite surprised she's upset there was no money in the budget "to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+." I would have thought she would be happy that our government wouldn't be financing the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+.

NDP MP Leah Gazan: "They provided $0 to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+,"

@RiskyOnWhiskey @saskridergal @Martyupnorth Lived in Alberta for 15 years, love the province, the people and the opportunities. I understand your frustration with lack of support Alberta receives from Canada, and the current lack of respect and hatred directed at you but I sure hope we find a way to convince Ab to stay.

@saskridergal @Martyupnorth I would totally agree !! But now, very proud to be part of the #AlbertaIndependence movement

I went to listen to her speak at the University of Calgary yesterday. It was a packed auditorium. She could only speak for 90 minutes because that's all the school would allow, but the crowd wanted more. She's an eye witness to one of the most important moments in Canadian history. The Freedom Convoy will be studied and talked about for generations, and she was right in the middle of it. I hate my government, but as I listened to her, I kept realizing I can't hate it enough. What they did to us. What they continue to do to us. There are evil men and women in Ottawa. Christ taught us to forgive, and Tamara exemplifies that. Me? If I had been subjected to the same treatment that she was, I'd be hunting down some humans for the rest of my life. God bless you Tamara.

@alleria_eh Where you asking this question when PM Carney announced the GST rebate a few months ago so Canadians could afford groceries? Why did the government have to drop GST? Why can't the grocery companies just drop their prices?

Why does the government have to drop their taxes off gas? Why can the oil companies just drop their prices? Taxes buy Canadians things but oil company billion dollar profits doesn't do anything for us.

@WesleyP79096 @GrahamG22047543 @Martyupnorth "What I'm saying is the leader of the conservative party along with many conservatives associating with and not denouncing racist groups that support them". Your words. What groups? 87 followers, I'm surprised I have that many, it's not important to me.

@studentforall @GrahamG22047543 @Martyupnorth I didn't specifically say racist groups although there are some I said racists. Unless you started on social media yesterday you would be fully aware of all the racist followers of Pierre & the party. Why did I call you a bot, your account was activated in 2019 87 followers.

I don't know what the writers were thinking when they wrote this, but they nailed it.

@WesleyP79096 @GrahamG22047543 @Martyupnorth You make a statement about Conservatives not calling out racist groups that support them. I ask what groups you are talking about. You don't name any but suggest that all parties have racists in them. I point out that PP is married to a Venezuelan. Why would you call me a bot?

@studentforall @GrahamG22047543 @Martyupnorth It appears that I may be arguing with a bot. To have an x account started in 2019 and have 97 followers tells me that you either are a troll that people do not want to follow or your bot that only engages in unconstructive discourse.

@Reil76 @KathyHunt43 You must be one of a very few complaining. In reality people debated respectfully trying to understand Quebec's position. In the last few weeks before the votes thousands of Canadians went to Quebec waving flags and talked to them. Asked them to vote against separating.

@KathyHunt43 I’m well aware. But yet again, 177k is all that you need. So regardless how many more than that you got it makes no difference. Of course I complained! I will always fight for my country!! Ok and they lost and they’re still part of Canada. What’s your point?

The Alberta separatist movement isn’t some unstoppable wave, it’s a loud minority that can’t even hit its own targets. You needed around 350k signatures to show real momentum and you came up with 177k. That’s not a movement, that’s barely a warm up. And even if you somehow crossed that threshold, it doesn’t mean Alberta just walks out of Canada. That’s not how this works. You’re talking about years of legal battles, constitutional hurdles, negotiations with the federal government, Indigenous treaty obligations, economic fallout, currency issues, trade barriers, and massive uncertainty for businesses and workers. Not 90 days, regardless of what Keith says. There’s no clean break. No easy exit. No “just vote and we’re gone.” Meanwhile, the idea that Alberta would somehow be stronger alone ignores reality. The province benefits massively from being part of Canada through internal trade, transfer systems, shared infrastructure, and global credibility. Walking away doesn’t make those problems disappear, it multiplies them. So no, Alberta isn’t leaving Canada. Not now, not anytime soon. And a half completed petition isn’t proof of anything except how small the movement actually is. And to all Albertans that don’t want any part of this, the rest of Canada knows, and we don’t group you all in the same basket! We still love you.

@WesleyP79096 @GrahamG22047543 @Martyupnorth I'm honestly not aware of any racist groups in Canada or supporting the conservatives. I'm also not aware of the leader of the liberals denouncing any racist groups. PP has a Venezuelan wife and a gay father do you really believe he is a racist or homophobic? Sounds liberal.

@studentforall @GrahamG22047543 @Martyupnorth Obviously. I'm sure there are racist in all parties. What I'm saying is the leader of the conservative party along with many conservatives associating with and not denouncing racist groups that support them.

@WesleyP79096 @GrahamG22047543 @Martyupnorth Is there a Conservative public figure who is a racist?

@GrahamG22047543 @Martyupnorth If you don't publicly call out racists as a public figure in Canadian politics then you essentially support racists. That's why a lot of us have temporarily left the conservative party

@Cynthia95001250 @TalbotLionel2 Trump has never been convicted of sexual assault. Being mentioned in the Epstein files is not a crime. If there was solid evidence of Trump committing a crime it would have been leaked. There's plenty of immoral and criminal acts he's guilty of that you could have highlighted.

@TalbotLionel2 "If Trump was the evil person the media depicted him to be." He's been convicted of sexual assault and has been mentioned over 30K times in the Epstein files. And that's just the tip of his evil iceberg. But yeah, the media is to blame.

I wrote a piece yesterday (in French) addressing the reasons that motivated Carney to become Prime Minister of Canada. They were mostly personal (Brookfield). This was one of the comments I received: “I don’t care why, but just the fact that he stands up to Trump and that this orange madman is angry with Carney, I’m satisfied.” Unfortunately, this is how the majority of Canadians feel. If Trump was the evil person the media depicted him to be, how did he win a convincing majority even though 90% of media coverage on him was negative while 85% on Kamala was positive? Don’t give me the “Americans are stupid” bullshit. Libtards still haven’t figured this out, proof that TDS actually exists. People need to stop blaming Trump. The day Canadians realize Trump isn’t the villain he’s portrayed as will mark the beginning of the end for Carney and the Liberals. Canada’s emotional rage toward Trump and his allies isn’t good for the country, but it has benefited the Liberal Party. The Liberals knew they couldn’t campaign on a decade of failures, corruption, and economic decline. With the help of subsidized media, they focused instead on Trump and his team. The country is plunging into recession, but that doesn’t matter. Canadians would follow Carney off a cliff if they thought it would give Trump the finger. The Liberals have made hatred of Donald Trump their entire personality. Canadians are easily manipulated and haven’t yet woken up to reality. If they devoted even a fraction of their rage against Trump to demanding competence from their own government, this country would be in far better shape. I’m most concerned about the bill that future generations—my children and grandchildren—will have to pay for the legacy we boomers are leaving them.

@ThomasBeyer @astraiaintel Any Canadian suggesting joining the EU would make us stronger and not rebuilding our relationship with the USA has a very poor vision of the World View. Imagine sharing a border with the largest economy in the world and not focusing on strengthening our trade. Absolute insanity.

@astraiaintel Instead of even considering joining the EU 🇨🇦 should strengthen a prosperous union with US instead !!

BREAKING: THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT HAS RELEASED A VIDEO STATING THAT THEY ARE OPEN TO INVITING CANADA IN THE EUROPEAN UNION LETS DO THIS!!! 🇪🇺 🇨🇦

@astraiaintel Name one benefit to Canada if we joined the EU? It's called the European Union for a reason, it's a union of European nations. Canada is not an European nation.

@kevin_kdean @billcoxphoto @AntiTrumpCanada You obviously never watched the game. First it was a great game, second the American team stayed on the field, stayed for the medal ceremony then stood and took their hats off for Venezuela's national anthem. Then they left the field.

@billcoxphoto @AntiTrumpCanada At least our Canadian hockey players stood and were respectful to the Americans for winning not like your fucking Ball Players sucking out like all fucking dirt bag Yanks , Fuck OFF Bill

Dear J.D. Vance, Go fuck yourself. Sincerely, 40 million Canadians 🇨🇦

@WarThomas78 @LawWarrier @AntiTrumpCanada Come on buddy we have enough problems up here, we don't want them.

@LawWarrier @AntiTrumpCanada You can have those blue parts retard
