What is truly annoying about @bsky.app is the word number restriction. That bites.

Well, resigning to spend more time with family is great cover for the real reasons isn't it. How convenient. LOL

The saddest part is that Hoekstra is so over the top with his sycophantic conduct as 47s pitbull to Canada that no threat, real or imaginary, is out of play for an out of control administration. Hoekstra is not in Canada as an ambassador. He is a convenient tool sent by 47 to enrage us.

Pete Hoekstra is a nasty man who has no diplomatic skills. For me as a Dutch Canadian he is deeply offensive. He is fully aware that most Dutch people are very appreciative of Canada's role in the liberation of The Netherlands from nazi occupation in ww2 May 5 1945. www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

Security clearance should not be optional. And, an opposition leader who can't or won't get cleared should be disqualified to hold the office of Prime Minister. This has to be a mandatory requirement.

So why are Cdn users still blocked from sharing?

American social media companies who never had to pay, began blocking the sharing of news content in Canada on Facebook and Instagram starting in August 2023. The ban effectively prevents Canadian users from accessing or sharing on these platforms.

Canada never implemented or collected the 3% Digital Sales Tax on American social media companies which was due to go into effect on June 30th 2025. Then, Prime Minister Carney rescinded the proposed DST in order not to harm ongoing "trade talks" with the WH. 1/2

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

I voted for Mark Carney Prime Minister. I hope you do too.

Let's remember this. Is ANY tRump merch manufactured in the USA supporting American workers? Or... is 'rumplestiffskin trying to turn straw into gold like in the fairy tale by having everything produced in China? No hypocrisy to be seen here folks! All that glitters is not gold. Fool's gold anyone?

Exactly. I'm relieved that I'm not the only one who fears he won't be returned alive. Huge risk to Trump. They can claim it was a fight with another prisoner. Nothing is beyond belief anymore and thinking that tRump can be controlled by rule of law is wishful thinking at this point.

We need to talk about Rachel Because our democracy is not going to make it through the next years without strong journalists.

I support Rachel Gilmore. We need to troll CTV for making the wrong decision. Do NOT vote Conservative! Support honest journalism that includes fact-checking. Canada deserves better. So does Rachel. 🇨🇦💪

CTV Cancelled a Fact-Checking Segment in Response to Political Pressure From Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives Audio recording shows CTV cancelled an ‘election misinformation’ segment with journalist Rachel Gilmore after online backlash from conservatives

Yet another reason not to vote Conservative in Canadian election. Undoubtedly the trolling was welcomed by Poilievre. Disgusting and not a good look for CTV.

I agree. A lot more attention needs to be paid the role that SCOTUS played in giving p47 absolute immunity and placing him as a felon with many legit indictments above the law. They have a lot to answer for. A bigger spotlight needs to focus on their responsibility for this nightmare scenario.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social The USA has held up rule of law and the constitution as "proof" of American exceptionalism.

We have seen over & over how p47 has outmaneuvered the law for years. He is a convicted felon. Supremacist Court says he is above the law (immunity). Should not be a surprise now. 😒
