Chester Wisniewski<p>I love it. Global News (in Canada) just played a clip of Trump musing on how the US subsidizes Canada and immediately after the anchor says "Of course none of the things he said is true." Very matter of factly.

Zazzoo 🇨🇦<p>Does Poilievre actually expect people to believe he'll be tough against Trump and stick up for Canada when the coordination of their talking points is so glaringly obvious?</p><p>OMG people, wake up, don't fall for this.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CdnPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CdnPol</span></a></p>

Bridge&Tunnel Jeff<p>Canadians uniting against a credible threat from the US government is a good thing, but I worry it's going to turn to xenophobia against anyone not seen as a "real" Canadian, against indigenous people and immigrants (especially non-white ones).</p><p>If you're Canadian, please fight back against the actual threat without slipping further into white supremacy; that's the door Poilièvre will use to win. Always fight for the rights of oppressed Canadians as this also fights fascism.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>canada</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/cdnpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cdnpol</span></a></p>
