You are such a fucking douchebag, @realDonaldTrump You and your rootin' tootin' cowboy friends. I'm so glad I'm Canadian.
What many people don’t understand, or don’t want to understand, is that Wayne, Chris and the folks who work so hard at the @NRA are Great People and Great American Patriots. They love our Country and will do the right thing. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Very excited to see #bcbudget2018 allocating serious money to a 3-year roadmap to universal childcare. This is the kind of big lasting shift that will change society for the better #applause
Everywhere except US traditional conservatives have believed the state sd have monopoly of means of violence. In US, right to #guns has little to do w 2nd Amend. It’s about deep seated civil conflict rooted in slavery.
Grief for those who died so young, anger at leaders who do nothing.Canadians will have little impact on US gun debate, but we can call out Trump lite politicians here who want to legalize assault weapons. We can reinforce efforts to stop guns from being smuggled into Canada.#guns
After a century in which US corporations sucked enormous profits out of our resource & manufacturing sectors, while keeping us technologically dependent, #Trump says Canada is robbing US blind. Time for Canada to shift gears. Trump's #NAFTA terms add insult to injury.
Ontario financial watchdog report shows #Wynne took people for a ride w partial privatization of Hydro One. it wd have been cheaper to borrow money for infrastructure than to give up earnings from the company. Final score: Bay Street 1; People 0.#HydroOne
I am calling on Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau to take immediate action to work with First Nations to overhaul the justice system. Canadians expect more and First Nations deserve far, far better. #enough #cdnpoli #JusticeForColten
He made #bcpoli a better place. At the same time, his humour was infectious. BC won’t be the same without him. RIP Dave!
When Democrats have to defend the #FBI against #Trump & most of the #GOP, the American Republic is teetering & its democracy is imperilled.
#Mulroney, architect of #NAFTA, passionately defends his creation. It gave US permanent access to Canadian petroleum, US corporations a stranglehold over key sections of our economy, while allowing US to shut off exports where we have advantage, softwood lumber. No thanks Brian!
Adolf #Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany 85 years ago today. He came to power legally & constitutionally. Conservatives took comfort in the fact that his cabinet included many non-Nazis who would control him.
#Globe editorial scolds ambassador for saying Canada is drawing closer to China and further from US. Historians will cite editorial as example of how Globe didn't understand decline of US. We will need to spend coming decades criticizing China on human rts & lack of democracy.
100 years ago #Canada was urged to join an imperial federation w British Emp countries. It wd have been a disaster.Similar disaster awaits if we draw closer to US. We need to choose an anti racist, egalitarian, green and global future for Canada.Time to face & debate the options
Great news that Bombardier has been successful in its trade dispute in the US. Huge credit to workers from @Unitetheunion and @GMB_union for fighting for their jobs and for others in the supply chain who rely on them. theguardian.com/business/2018/…
Yes but it may be quite thinkable for our leading politicians and business/capitalist class.... Should be vigorously resisted when/if it is proposed.
Politically, it would unthinkable for Canada to stay in a trade deal w US if #Trump pushes #Mexico out over payment for the #Wall. We must not end up in a racist backwater connected to a declining empire. We can do far better in this century.

I’m in a Cafe in #London: a woman of about my age sat down & told me she is of Royal blood, had her DNA checked & she is more royal than the Queen. The #Queen is there because of Edward’s abdication, she said. Where else can you have a conversation like this!
US wants even more than stranglehold it now has on our oil exports & on US corporations in Canada operating as tho they are Canadian. We’re better off w WTO rules than #NAFTA. Time to cut the cord.
#Trump, certified as mentally competent, has doubled down on his insistence on wall w Mexico. What about an ice wall w Canada, to be kept frozen all year? Technologically doable, job creator & wonderful for Canadian security.
