well that was disappointingly quick

That's what she said

 

[Wayward DP]

Not a very robust poll, but still surprising and not good for libs.

yah I still maintain it's a big uphill climb for Carney...

 

[Preston]

It's fine. What happens after the meeting will be the most telling

The comments though... Fuck it. Ford better cut off the power.

Huge underdog. Huge

Ford making a push to replace Peewee

 

[Wayward DP]

Seems reasonable.

gonna disagree here. the Americans have been gaslighting us about these dumb tariffs for months - this seems to be more of that. no real commitment, no guarantee, no action. just a conversation. you weren't having those already?

like, what did Ford or ON get out of this?

Hoping for a PP minority. Anything else is gravy

That is what it seems like. If PP loses you think Ford is next up.

Lutnick is an idiot and seems pretty powerless. Not super impressed

Not really sure what the premier of one province is going to negotiate with Lutnick.

this is a gift link so free for yall:

Canada’s greatest vulnerability is disinformation, and we have no defence for it

or some young man, somewhere in Canada, his Instagram feed is right now serving up a humorous but enticing fantasy.

“What if the United States, Mexico and Canada united to create one country?” an animated video with crude references asks. “Economically, this union would dominate with a GDP of over $28-trillion, making it the richest country on Earth! ... Geographically, this supernation would span 21.66 million square kilometres, overtaking Russia as the largest country!”

For almost a minute, it pitches giving up Canadian sovereignty in order to rule the world. For a young man watching, with his hopes for a stable career, homeownership and a safe world to live in withering away, it might be an alluring idea.

That video comes from an Instagram account suspected of originating in Russia, and posted after Donald Trump started musing about the idea of turning Canada into the 51st American state. Its use of professional-looking graphics, economic data and masculine stereotypes sets it apart from the more subtle approaches to cognitive warfare on social media.

and it doesn't matter what he does anyways. anything Lutnick says is subject to dotard's whims.

 

[Artnes]

Goes back to what mindz said earlier, algos need to be banned.

And not like lutnick has any power.

He clearly rattled Trump. Now you take a step back to show how reasonable you are.

May or may not mean anything at all, but the goal here is to find a way to get Trump to back down on tariffs. Which I think ultimately he probably will, especially if the market keeps tanking.

As much as we'd love to just tell Trump to go fuck himself, it's better for Canada to reach a deal, especially if we don't give up much but convince Agent Orange that he "won". Art of the deal, baby.

 

[CH1]

I’m fine with DoFo’s move… it’s all BS started by Trump trying to negotiate like a fool in public…and so far DoFo has met the public challenge

 

[Preston]

And now Donny is backing down too

Regulate the social media industry just like we regulate every other industry with a dangerous product. oh...zuck won't like it and will shutdown Facebook access in Canada? nothing of value would be lost.
