I'm Canadian and live 5 minutes from the Michigan border. Was over in the US on Saturday and got called a loser by a couple when they seen my Canadian plates. Was never treated like that before and have been going over there for years.

And honestly, as a Canadian that's what worries me the most. This seems to fit very well into the playbook of certain former and current dictators, and while a US attack on an allied nation such as Canada may seem ridiculous now Canada is a large resource-rich country right next to the US.

If there's one thing Ukraine has taught us, it's that we need nukes now.

It is literally the only guarantee against invasion/annexation.

Yeah take the 50 billion you give to injuns and put into developing nukes.

TRUDOVER WAS RIGHT FRICKING THERE YOU R-SLURS

Basic context. The government has been spending like a sailor in a whorehouse, to the point that even the girl boss shopper herself has had it. The deficit is projected to be 20 billion more than expected for the year and Freeland was left holding the bag for the "fall economic statement" so she quit the day she was supposed to give it.

Tldr: leafland is broke lmao

The raking will be easier if the Canadians are unarmed.

Had a bit of a health scare last night, but thankfully it wasn't a heart attack. Not sure what it was, though, because once they made sure I wasn't dying I was thrown out into the waiting room and 6 hours later I said f*ck it and went home.

Canadian health care, folks. Best in… pic.twitter.com/kQIHyc2ZCc

Reddit reacts poorly to the tragic news

Newsweek is conservative horseshit

Back to the super market rack with your crap. How do you live with yourself after writing shit like this?

Another thread seemingly about same incident in /r/montreal is more sympathetic. Perhaps because it isn't from a rightwing source like Newsweek

On phone so screenshot posting. The main quote is here

In French, reading off notes, Trudeau said, "There are politicians who fight and vote against women's right to choose (and) are regressive and reactionary forces that want us to go backwards and unfortunately succeed all too often.

"Now it shouldn't be that way. It wasn't supposed to be that way," Trudeau said in English. "We were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult, sometimes march towards progress. And yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president.

"Everywhere, women's rights and women's progress is under attack, overtly and subtly. I want you to know that I am and always will be a proud feminist. You will always have an ally in me and in my government."

TORONTO STAR

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took an indirect dig at Donald Trump ahead of a first ministers' meeting Wednesday on how to best handle the unpredictable incoming U.S. president-elect.

Despite urging Canadian lawmakers to back "Team Canada" and not argue against Canada's national interest, it was Trudeau's comments that were the first hint of public criticism of Trump — the Republican leader whose judicial and other appointments have sought to limit abortion rights in the U.S.

The prime minister's comments follow Trump's jabs in the past week on his Truth Social platform that Trudeau could become a "governor" of Canada as a "51st state." Those comments were shrugged off by Trudeau and his team as a joke, or said in jest.

However, Trudeau's comments that seemed to lament the electoral loss of the Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris suggested he is not above trolling Trump publicly either.

Speaking in Ottawa at an Equal Voice gala to boost political participation of women, the prime minister touted his government's feminist credentials, and contrasted them with Canadian Conservatives and those south of the border.

In French, reading off notes, Trudeau said, "There are politicians who fight and vote against women's right to choose (and) are regressive and reactionary forces that want us to go backwards and unfortunately succeed all too often.

"Now it shouldn't be that way. It wasn't supposed to be that way," Trudeau said in English. "We were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult, sometimes march towards progress. And yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president.

"Everywhere, women's rights and women's progress is under attack, overtly and subtly. I want you to know that I am and always will be a proud feminist. You will always have an ally in me and in my government."

Trudeau has spent two weeks appealing across party and government lines to form a common Canadian front to fight Trump's threatened 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian exports, and urging lawmakers here not to "freak out" or "panic" in their responses to Trump.

On Wednesday evening, he will meet premiers to brief them on a $1-billion plan to beef up border security, technology and personnel, and to explain what kinds of retaliatory tariffs are in the works, according to a senior government official. Trudeau will also ask for feedback from premiers on their own outreach efforts.

In the past week, Canadian conservative politicians have travelled and met with Trump and advisers.

Quebec Premier François Legault met Trump and Elon Musk in Paris at the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral last Friday.

Conservative MP Jamil Jivani met Trump's vice-president-elect, J.D. Vance, whom Jivani has touted as a close friend from law school days. They met last weekend at a conference of the International Democratic Union — headed by Stephen Harper — in Washington.

Jivani and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre have been silent on what he and Vance discussed.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith met Western U.S. governors this week as well.

We're supposed to get the fall economic statement next week. Will the numbers reflect a deficit higher or lower than $60B?

Canada has seen a number of church burnings in recent years thanks to anti-Christian bigotry.

All over the world, Christians are the most persecuted religious group.

Jamil is speaking the truth. Shame on journalists who refuse to see what's obvious. https://t.co/LKq146gTGc
