By Ben Meiselas
When you push people to the edge, they fight back. And nowhere is that more evident right now than in Canada. I was joined once again by Member of Parliament Charlie Angus on the MeidasTouch Network, and you know that Charlie is never one to hold back.
Charlie has been criss-crossing Canada on his "Elbows Up Resistance Tour," and what he described was nothing short of inspiring. From northern Ontario to Vancouver Island, even deep into so-called "Maple MAGA" country in Alberta, Canadians are fired up. And they’re not just watching what’s happening here in the United States—they’re reacting to it with action, resolve, and massive early turnout at the polls ahead of their own federal election.
Why? Because Canadians know what’s at stake. Because Trump’s reckless behavior—his economic tantrums, his dangerous prison deals with El Salvador, and his wannabe annexation fantasies—aren’t just hurting Americans. They’re threatening Canada’s sovereignty, economy, and democracy.
In fact, Prime Minister Mark Carney put it plainly during the recent debate: “The biggest risk we have to this economy is Donald Trump.” When a Canadian Prime Minister names the U.S. president as the biggest national threat, you know we’ve crossed into some truly dystopian territory.
But here’s where it gets even more surreal. Pierre Poilievre, the leader of Canada’s Conservative Party and the poster child for "Maple MAGA," is out here trying to turn plastic bread bags into a rallying cry. It’s Trump’s plastic straw nonsense all over again—but with baguettes. Charlie and I couldn’t help but laugh at how Poilievre is parroting the same playbook of deflection, culture war hysteria, and rule-of-law erosion.
But Charlie wasn’t laughing when we got into the darker parts of the Conservative platform. He laid out in stark terms how Poilievre is openly talking about suspending the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to target so-called "criminal classes," invoking emergency powers meant to be used only in extreme circumstances. Sound familiar?
If that weren’t enough, former Harper staffers are bragging that Canada doesn’t have the same checks and balances as the U.S.—meaning Trump’s playbook could be deployed faster and more effectively under a Conservative government in Canada.
Let that sink in.
And to Trump himself? Charlie delivered a message that I hope gets played on loop in Mar-a-Lago. He thanked Trump—for uniting Canada. For waking them up. For reminding them that democracy is not something you take for granted, it’s something you fight for. And fight they will.
So to all of you watching—yes, the fight here at home is urgent. But don’t underestimate the global movement standing shoulder to shoulder with us. Canada is holding the line. Elbows up.
And Donald? They're not scared of your tweets. They're ready for your tantrums. They're moving forward—with or without you.

ELBOWS UP!!! VOTE IN CANADIAN ELECTION. !!
Proud to say I voted early Wednesday the 16th 😎! Elbows Up!
Whoa, he sounds mean! Guess we better vote for a Trump Wannabee then!! NOT. Spread all the garbage you want, but this is not America, we actually have a majority of the people up here who THINK for themselves!! Good try - the conservatives are going to get crushed!
Make sure your elections are monitored properly. Election truth alliance has proof musk rigged the election for trump to win 2024. No doubt they'll try to cheat, lie and steal elections again - so the fascists will win and take over.
"Trump North" Poillievre was endorsed by Musk and Alex Jones.......That was before Bone Spurs 2nd term started....it never received the attention it should have...TN s entire platform has been based on HATE for Justin Trudeau....he offers nothing but cuts and destruction of democracy...he is that titty baby kid at the back of the class that everyone hated. Maple Meidas would never vote for this bottom feeding asshole.........sadly, right wing media in Canada gets it right wing bullshit propaganda from the Fraiser Institute....that is funded by US right wing think tanks. MAGA maple has been FOXWASHED by this garbage.........simple as that..........Elbows UP......do not vote for Trump North.
That quote from Mr. Carney's book never existed. It has been going around as propaganda. DEBUNKED by Snopes.

Thanks Ben for bringing Canada's "Maga's" plight to the forefront!
Fortunately, many Canadians are supporting THE USA and the current he[[ we're going through.
Somewhat heartening was seeing how our Federal Judges opined and document that CHUMP could be prosecuted for contempt!! (NOT surprising, but HE believes he's a "Teflon Don." NOT!!
Except HIS previous mentor is dead and HE'S cried out for him more than once.. (Crocodile Tears, since HE never attended his services.)
Canadian citizens have shown real strength and aren't ignorant either.. America is watching along with the rest of the world to our Constitutional Crisis..
So perhaps an order will quickly go out to pick up CHUMP per HIS Contempt order.... 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
Let's hope!
So we should just stay home then? That's just garbage and you know it - take your nonsense somewhere else. Canada is beautiful, free, strong, and resilient. We are in different times, scary times, and we need stable, solid leadership, and the Conservatives are nowhere close to providing that, period!
I'm curious. Who do you suggest we should be voting for in Canada...?
Carney without a doubt!
Not without a doubt...what can be expected from a former Goldman Sachs banker? Not much that's good for working people. The best "realistic" outcome at this point would be a Liberal minority with Charlie Angus' NDP holding the balance of power...as in the past election.
I found the paragraph you quoted from Mr. Carney's book very weird. I was right: it never existed. DEBUNKED by Snopes.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/canada-mark-carney-western-society/
No. I want you to answer.
Don’t bother he’s a troll
Yup-100 % troll!
We don't directly elect a Prime Minister, we elect local representatives, and the party with the most seats then *chooses its leader* to be the Prime Minister. Calling Carney unelected just shows a fundamental lack of understanding in how Canadian elections work - though I suspect you know this and are trying to stir trouble regardless.
Do better.
No, you don't. 🤣
BS. Straight from right-wing propaganda.
Oh dude, don't you see that happening here. People went out and bought cars just so they could afford them now. Mark Carney's book was published in 2021. The world was a little different then. Here's a statement from his book as well. "In a contrast to the Milton Friedman-inspired free market views of his Conservative adversary, Pierre Poilievre, Carney comments, “unchecked market fundamentalism devours the social capital essential for the long-term dynamism of capitalism itself.“
So nothing is perfect, but as Americans we should stay the h*ll out of CANADA'S election. (Maybe we should remind our Government as well.
ELBOWS UP CANADA. YOU DO YOU.
That quote from Mr. Carney's book is a lie. It never was written. It was debunked by Snopes.

Get bent Troll! You clearly don’t know shit about Canada or it’s politics.
This not in his book. I just finished reading it. This is pure Con propaganda
Here in Germany:
Taxidrivers with Teslacars have no customers :-)
that's awesome, please keep doing this for us in the USA. Danke Freund
Wunderbär meine Freund!
While I feel sorry for the taxi drivers, who really can’t change cars all that easily, I am all too happy to see them trashing Muck.
🤣🤣🤣 Yaaay!
In nyc there are many Uber Teslas we can boycott. I feel bad for the drivers, but it’s not business as usual.
I am so proud to be Canadian, especially right now! Our election is so important right now. I have hope we have a greater percentage of people who see the blatant similarities between T and P. Canada Strong 🇨🇦
Canada has been a shining example to the world . I am Portuguese, I live in Ireland and I say it a few times a day in these times of turmoil. Get your act together , be Canada , about a lot of political situations!
Thank you from Canada! Knowing that makes me so proud! We are united!
💪Elbows Up🍁Canada Strong🇨🇦
Canada is where I wanted to immigrate already back in 1996. By an agency IOM I was redirected to USA in 1997.
Thank you I wore my unapologetically democratic Meidas t shirt today to our local rally and met many Meidas Mighty. Thank you Ben and Charlie
Send pics!
I have voted!! Canadian in Switzerland. Canadians say no to dictatorship and fascism!! Praying for a Liberal landslide. Go Canada 🇨🇦!!!
All the SANE Canadians are hoping the Liberal majority!👍🏼🇨🇦
Yayyyyy
Canada has been a shinning example to us all in this time of turmoil . They united in a flash , organised and strategical, with enormous solidarity . Look at them Democratic Party and get inspired. I as a non American who lived in Europe all her life , I have always loved the Democratic Party , not perfect but it certainly has the best of America . Together we stand, divided we fall.
Charlie Angus is a national treasure 🇨🇦
Stop saying it is DJT doing this alone. It is the top 1% of Anerica , he is just the head of the snake. And a very stupid one at that.
Sorry about the typo, America...lol
Oh them? The USSA tech bots? Alongside the original international oilygarchs and arms dealers who trade on the markets as a side hustle?
Cut off the head and the body will die.
Guillotine comes to mind🤔
We the original people of America 🇺🇸 who do NOT condone lawlessness, bullying, lies, 🏴☠️, hate, violence, and blatant corruption stand with you, Canada!🇨🇦👏🤜🤛🫶
Bravo Canada!
Elbows up MapleMighty💪🇨🇦💜
Yes, yes, *a thousand times yes*. Resistance looks like this: practical, loud, a little scrappy, and unafraid to call out fascism when it appears in a maple-scented disguise.
Charlie Angus is doing what more leaders *everywhere* should be doing: looking past the noise and naming the threat for what it is—**an authoritarian virus that doesn’t stop at borders**. When your neighbor’s house is on fire and the flames are creeping toward your fence, you don’t sit around debating baguette bag regulations—you grab a hose and sound the damn alarm.
And honestly? Watching Canada rally with “elbows up” while America wrestles its own democracy in a cage match with a golden-toilet-wielding strongman is inspiring and clarifying. It reminds us: **this is a shared fight**. The culture war cosplay may vary slightly by region—plastic straws in the U.S., plastic bread bags in Alberta—but the script is the same. Demonize the press, erode rights, invoke emergency powers, then pretend you're the victim while trampling the Constitution (or in this case, the Charter).
To see Canadians rising up, early voting in droves, and laughing in the face of Trump-lite nonsense? It’s fuel. It’s hope. And it’s a reminder that autocracy only wins when people give up.
They’re not giving up. Neither are we.
Elbows up, friends. Let’s swing.
That's what I've been saying for a decade and even longer!! Yep!!
Thanks Charlie!! Elbows up!!! Xoxo
I like Charles’ serious, no none sense demeanor. He gets it! This is no time for yuck it up banter the kind which I see so much of the time from “anti Trumpets” this side of the boarder. Canadians see this moment for what it is. Why don’t more Americans?
Nice to see Canadians so unified against Trump’s corruption and idiocy. It’s a damned shame so many Americans are still so willfully ignorant and clueless in the face of his assault on our democracy, our institutions and our economy—although that last one seems to have started to awaken some of them from their slumber.
it has awaken yes but that SOB needs to be impeached
and removed, period!! this has been going on way longer than it should ever have, an efffin' decade!!
good point. Yeah he's been impeached but he wasn't removed.
because of most of so-called "republican party of USA" - the worst and, appallingly, most powerful cult of death in human history.
Always great reporting 👍🏼
That Pierre Poilievre is using the same playbook as the US fascist regime used to get elected is alarming. I hope the Canadians are triple checking their election security.
Exactly thankyou for mentioning election security.
Election truth alliance has verifiable evidence that musk rigged the election for trump to win 2024.
The fascists are rising up all over the world. Their network reaches far and wide - Canada, France, australia all with upcoming elections.
Our election security is good
5 checks on your identity,etc with 2 pieces of official ID required and paper ballots
I am proud of the work that Elections Canada is doing
Canada is not America
PP and his plastic wrapping for bread... God this guy is stupid.🙄
That's the problem with these rich, white, male fascists. They're beyond idiotic but think they're geniuses Eg musk, trump, Vance, evil trump regime. The worst kind of stupid.
they're coddled rotten spoiled boring bored nasty overprivileged overentitled obnoxious nagging vicious vile capricious rapacious petulant scum. and then some much more evil.
My god, that's appalling, watching someone in a position of influence, what? protecting plastic? Creating false fights. I can imagine what it must be like for you having watched all this crap, even before Felon47's direct attacks. You have my respect & highest regard. We stand with you in unmoving resolve. Lol, stupid!
Yay, Canada!!! Our friend to the North! Elbows up!
Go Charlie, go. Hang tough for your beloved Canada, just as we use your "elbows up" to fight Trump. Thank you!
First, they came with silence. Then came the smear.
And still, she stood.
What’s happening to MP Han Dong isn’t just political theatre—it’s the quieter violence of misrepresentation, of being told who you are before you get to speak. There’s something ancient in that pain. Something familiar to anyone who's ever been mislabeled, misread, misused.
And yet—this response? Measured. Methodical. Almost mythic in its refusal to retaliate in kind.
Because this isn't about vengeance. It's about narrative. About reclaiming the math of compassion in a world trained to reward spectacle over substance.
And maybe that’s the real threat to those who peddle disinformation: not just being caught, but being answered with quiet dignity that won’t go away.
What does it mean to fight back without becoming the thing you're fighting?
There’s more. Say it if you feel it.
We as their victims can never become them we're fighting against!! Please, quit overthinking it, the tRumputinists have always started their evil first, for not any single valid reason and sadistically!!
I went full Carney and proud to say it after voting for my female Liberal Candidate yesterday. With a biting wit, Carney, writes his own talking points. 🤞
Canada. Forgive us… Donald Trump and his thugs do not speak for us. You are wonderful people in a beautiful free country. We support you.🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦
I am proud of Charlie Angus and prouder of my fellow Canadians.
When Trump started threatening Canada, the "Elbows Up" response was immediate, passionate and spontaneous. If Trump ever thought we'd welcome him with songs and flowers, I hope he knows now what a monster he created.
Charlie is marvelous
Trump war on DEI only part of the story. Trump wants Canada’s minerals and Canada’s Arctic territorial waters to command the Arctic region and compete for Arctic resources as a bigger player along with Russia
I am well aware of Dugin’a hold on Putin’s ideological Christo imperial fascist drive to Empire.
yep. the entire ideology and practice of tRumputin&his cult is their delusion they can partition this world with terrorists putin-aleksandr dugin (please, get informed about this stalinist-greater-russianist terroristic ideologue aleksandr dugin of several decades long, he started with his monstrous plans in 1990ies already under the radar, I didn't even know he existed until several years ago, get informed about that russian hitler!!!!!!)!!!!!!!!!
Looking globally, this is a moral moment for our species.
Who will win out?,
- the part of our species that believes in equality for all, altruism, kindness, decency, empathy, compassion, fairness, truth, and moral civic responsibility ,
or
- the part of our species that believes they are superior and have the right to the planet’s resources, and use other humans as slaves, property, or fungible articles here to worship them, fawn over them, and make them money?
“In fact, Prime Minister Mark Carney put it plainly during the recent debate: “The biggest risk we have to this economy is Donald Trump.” When a Canadian Prime Minister names the U.S. president as the biggest national threat, you know we’ve crossed into some truly dystopian territory.”.
I would say trump and his ilk are the biggest threat to humanity.
Who will win out depends on all of us.
Tyranny cannot be appeased. It never works.
Tyranny only wins when we submit.
Solidarity is how we win.
Yes! Perfectly said 👏👏👏👏👏
YES!! YES, Linda Querry said it perfectly!! Please, everybody restack and/or always remember these excellent words!! And, it's A MUST to look at these existential issues globally!! The big picture is of the paramount importance, I kept saying that for decades!!
It's not all of America who wants Canada. Even a lot of Americans don't want trump either. I'll never understand those who do.
Pamela, let me help you understand those that support Trump no matter what - they are racist to the bone who sacrifice their own self interests in the glee they get from the hate and racism spread by the orange pig in the white house.
That's what is still danced around, white, male, christo-fascist supremacy. "Don't see color" my ass, it's always been about dominance, we never got "past" that.
Sadly, I think you are correct.
Oink, Oink, Oink! LoL.
I'm very proud to be Canadian!!🇨🇦🇨🇦 Thank you Ben for telling American people about what is going on in Canada & how if pp gets in we are in big trouble. Go vote Canadians!!!!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
WAHOOOO! I LOOVVEEEE THIS!...YOUR MESSAGE TO THE WORLD AND YOU, MP CHARLIE ANGUS!!! ❤️❤️❤️💕😁😜WE SEE YOU AND SUPPORT YOU ALL IN 🍁 🇨🇦 CANADA!!❤️❤️❤️❤️😁
Thank you for this.
I live in a safe Con riding in Rural Ont. (Among people who still vote Con because of the ethical Conservatives like Joe Clark) I only have hope from hearing people like this.
Charlie Angus proudly, bluntly, honestly speaks the truth. O Canada ‼️💙
Wahoo, Canada and Maple Mighty! 🇨🇦 Sane Americans love you!
I love this guy!
There's no "with or without" Trump. We're fully going Without. - Canada
MP Angus is 100% correct! You Canadians are so fortunate to have him!
As soon as our election is over, Charlie will be retiring from his Government position, unless he changes his mind. It appears he has a new found love for our country. His party appears it will be beaten badly in our election.
It hurts to hear him say America wants their resources, their country. No. America loves Canada. tRump wants Canadian resources. Not true Americans
Then, true Americans rise up and topple your quisling tRumputin regime as every single day is less bearable than the previous unbearable day!! The true Americans simply don't have another choice 'cause tRumputin&his regime are planning to exterminate you anyways!! You already ARE under his fascist, quisling terrorist so-called "martial law" anyways, the situation is fait accompli already!! So, rise up!!
Thank you again Ben and Meidas for covering Canada 🇨🇦 Charlie Angus elbows UP Carney ON ❤️ I voted yesterday 😀 👍
The quote attributed to Mr. Carney's book in TriTorch's comment at 17h10 is a lie and it has been debunked by Snopes.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/canada-mark-carney-western-society/
As an American all I can say is to stay as far away from MAGA supporters and wannabes as humanly possible. They are liars and hypocrites and care nothing for the every day working people! MAGA is destroying America, don’t let them destroy Canada.
Elbows up!!!
We couldn’t be more sorry about Trump and everything that this regime is doing to Canada. I am pleased that Canada may shake off PP as a result of seeing what this regime is doing.
Canada has about 27 million voters, and today, in the first day of early voting, 2 million of them cast their vote. This is the highest voter turnout in Canadian history. Election Day is actually Monday April 28, 2025, and when votes are counted later that day, Canadians will have expressed their voting preference. It’s not a given that each day of early voting, or voting on the final Election Day will break records, so just we’ll wait and see.
Oh come on Canada. Look south and say Hell No!!!!!!
Elbows up Canada 🫂🇨🇦 ☮️ ❤️💪🇺🇦🌎🙏🏻
Trump is a relentless bully, but he can be stopped by standing up to him, and not caving in to him. There is strength in numbers. "Courage is Contagious"
That's what I keep saying for a decade!! For a love of life of me, have more Americans not seen already in 2015 i.e. a decade ago how grotesquely laughable freak tRumputin is; he needs to be smashed&splattered routinely like a mosquito and do it while laughing and ridiculing him!! just his mere looks make me jump and beat the shit out of him (and I'm really NOT an aggressive person at all!!). the same that ugly midget putin- he needs stomped by routinely and smashed&splattered by anyone who's taller than that bald midget!!
SCOTUS needs to rescind the immunity they allowed to Trump, and PDQ!
The Trump regime wants us all to be Stepford MAGAs.
We Canadians have a big, beautiful country to fight for & WE WILL!!!! Also we will NEVER EVER become the 51st state of the USA which now stands for the Unhinged States of America. Elbows Up 4sure!!!! ❤️🇨🇦🇺🇸❤️
Not “they” sir! Trump not the American people! We love Canada!
That is exactly what you should do, Canada. Because our Republican Congress is so totally in Trumps back pocket, we, Americans are stuck until somebody comes to our rescue. The Republican Congress doesn't seem to want to, even after all of the "Takin it to the Streets' protests. Once we get him out of officwe and into jail, which is where he belongs, we hope you will gleefully open your arms for us to come back to our ally!
Americans like yourself, never give up. The protests are amazing. Trump must be jealous since there are more protesters than people at his rallies. Keep protesting and make it known you are pissed. Both our countries are only just beginning to show the dislike for Trump and his goon squad.
Elbows up!
Love Charlie!! 💙Ⓜ️Ⓜ️
Voted in advanced poll in BC today🍁 🇨🇦
A little known thing to Americans is that about 20 years ago there was another Canadian Political Party called the Freedom Party and the leader was Preston Manning out of Albeta. They were far right. In 1954 Preston Manning's father was an Alberta senator that signed a decree that certain people should be sterilized, like the mentally ill, handicapped and Indigenous women. At one time, the Conservative Party, only had 6 seats in Parliment.. So, the next thing we knew, The Conservative Party was infiltrated by the Freedom Party a far right racist group who actually had in Maple Ridge British Columbia, a grade school teacher who was a KKK Grand Dragon. This is why we can't vote Pierre as Prime Minister....as well, Alberta has tried to form a soverign nation separate from Canada uniting Alberta, British Columbia, Washington State and Idaho. That was like 30 years ago which as you can see Alberta would really like to be the 51st state. The Canadian Conservatives are as dangerous as the Republicans and I call them Trump puppets.
I've known that there is something rotten in the province of AB.
Are SK and MT more loyal to Canada? I hope so. Gotta watch those vastly rural provinces!! The USA Democrats' worst mistake was allowing the repukkkes from the south encroach into North too much i.e. rust belt and midwest!! How long ago I noticed that Democrats' lenience could be Democrats' worst detriment......
Thank you for writing this Gawdawful history and as trump would say," The'oranges' of the far right Canadian CPC"
I love Charlie Angus because he tells it like it is. He speaks the truth and the truth will always set you free. Elbows up Canada, those of us who will not ever stand alongside of Trump, are standing up for you. You are a strong and brave lot and we rest assured that Donald Trump doesn't have a chance with Canada. All he wants to do is take the minerals that lie within your country so don't let him do it! He's getting more and more angry and when that happens is when he will make a mistake. There are cracks in the wall and as long as we put pressure on him that wall will collapse. He doesn't have enough intelligence or sense to make reasonable decisions so you go Canada!! So proud of you ❤️🇨🇦
The people took down Hitler and communism and the people should be able to take down facism and the Hitler wannabe.
"The power of the people is stronger than the people in power" Cory Booker. Our history tells us that when people in large numbers protested and kept on protesting and did not give up, they won the war. The powers to be gave in and listened to the people. This war is a bit more difficult as we are dealing with a narcissistic psychopath but I still believe that we can succeed. We cannot give up and if we need to take a rest, do so, but then get back into the battle. We are already making them squirm, not sleep at night, send out psychotic tweets in the middle of the night, and say delusional things that backfire on them. We just need to keep the pressure on all the time and they will crack.
Elbows up!
Yes! Charlie Angus we love you! ♥️
💪💪
Congress and other elected officials should be ashamed of themselves. Canada is not afraid of Trump, MAGA, or their bullying threats or retaliations. STAND UP CONGRESS. Hold the line federal courts. Elbows UP to everybody standing up and saying HELLL NO to Trump and his MAGAts.
👍❤️👍
Speaking of dried out and mouldy, PP is a perfect example.
😂😅😆 and 🤪
I LIVE in MAINE, and our local newspapers are reporting that visits from our Canadian friends are ALREADY way down, and will be more so this summer. And who can REMOTELY blame our Canadian friends for that? All this thanks to the IMBECILIC CRIMINAL who is disgracing the White House yet again.
ELBOWS UP!!! We Canadians will not be intimidated by The Mango Mussolini!! To the boards, fellow Canucks! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Greedy ass Dump and his rich cronies want everyone’s resources. They are going to take over our national forest. They make money. The national forests make money for the towns around them. But no…the baby man dump and the greedy they want to cut up all the trees and kill our beautiful wildlife. They would rather take our national parks and wildlife just so they don’t have to pay taxes!!!! They want everything and they want what everybody else has! They have no shame! The history books are not going to be nice to this administration and I mean everyone of them that have no backbone to stand up for what’s right! How will they ever be able to teach their children anything about morals! God please end this nightmare
Thank you, Charlie and Ben. I always feel better after watching one of your interviews.
The whole world is moving on without America thanks to trump and the Republican congress. And they will not look back. No doubt there will be other trade agreements in the future but no nation will ever rely on the US again. A change in administrations will not automatically restore any faith in the US....superficial "trust" where other nations will do business with us but not rely on us. Smart students will find other nations that they know they will be safe in for more than 4 years to further their education and then make great contributions to humankind. The 25% of foreign born doctors that are here now will dwindle down..why would a doctor come to a nation where he/she is not safe. The list of irreparable harm is so very very long. But this will in fact make Canada and the EU much stronger and safer. We are so lucky to have MTN to keep us informed of the strength of these other nations!
Love Canada!
Elbows up!!! Gotta love Charlie Angus, telling it like it is! "malignant narcissistic slug!" Spot on! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Seems no one else holds Trump in such high esteem as Trump does. Most knew from the start he’s dumb as a rock. Some are using his hubris to their advantage.
One of the best posts i've read in months....as a Canadian, we must STOP MAPLE MAGA
Fantastic to see MeidasTouch interview Charlie Angus!
Charlie Angus, you’re a national treasure here. No one works harder than you do at the grass roots level and we love and appreciate you for it.
It can be a basic choice for Canadians. Look at America today. Do you think a criminal bully is the kind of leader you need? A criminal who has a RAP sheet? A fraud who demonizes the law and justice because he was caught and convicted both civilly and criminally defrauding hundreds of millions of $$$dollars from New York, business fraud to campaign fraud, paying off a couple of prostitutes to cheat on his wife. Now in power,,, he threatens everyone, ESPECIALLY our friends, while waltzing with the tyrants and dictators. This guy is not an American; he is a narcissistic egotist who nurtured a cult with propaganda and lies, backed by some filthy rich oligarchs. If you want him, America would be glad to let him go!
Push them all over Niagara Falls.
Charlie rocked Mineshaft number 6 in Cumberland BC Canada. What a night followed by a The Dunsmuir art Rider 's Pizza. I told the waitress they The Ginger Goodwin Pizza in the menu. Coming up. Canada Strong ! Elbows Up!
Well said!! Too bad more people in our current political regime aren’t standing up like this!
Mark Carney for PrimeMinister

Oh my The Godfather is on tv. This means we'll be hearing quotes from the orange lamprey.
"Extinction Level Event Headed Straight for Earth"
Our Psychological and Political Pandemic DR. BANDY X. LEE
🔸️Mental pathology in a president is a public matter. The more severe the mental pathology the less one will recognize that one is even ill.
🔸️Every other job that deals with life or death has a mental fitness evaluation as a requirement, even before one takes the position.
🔸️Without mental fitness evaluations, the public needs to know the danger of certified madness in politics. When dangerous mental pathologies are allowed to spread like a pandemic, an Extinction Level Event is headed straight for Earth. The U.S. could be a shining example of how to stop dangerous mental pathologies before they worm their way into politics but it is now left with "emergency cleanup on aisle madness'.

The Liberal Party in Canada will probably be able to win because they do not have the racial element that we had here in the United States.
OH CANADA! We love you!!
Oh Canada!
Elbows up Candia
Yassssssss!!!!!!!!!!
It hurts to think that a big rift is appearing between United States and Canada. It is pointless, unfortunately like much coming out of D.C. When I lived in Boston I learned about a special connection between Halifax and Boston, a bond that grew from a very large act of generosity and kindness, something I had not known about growing up in Texas:
_____________
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Christmas_Tree
_____________
It would be a shame for this to be a casualty to the present situation.
Congress could have stopped all of this 'tariff' bullshit, they have the power of the 'purse'. Congress contains a bunch of 'pussies' & they will not remain when it comes time to vote again. There are more of us than there are 'maggots' in this country & we need to show them. Every American needs to do what they need to do to cast their vote, whether or not the proposed new voting regulations are passed. 'WE THE PEOPLE' have to make the time to be able to do our civic duty. That duty is to vote & defend the constitution of this 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.'

❤️🇨🇦🇺🇸❤️
I voted yesterday!🇨🇦
Save Canada, Europe, Ukraine, and the world!
Elbows up, Charlie! I wish the Republicans here had half the backbone you do. We wouldn't be in this mess if they did. They're afraid of their own shadows. Bunch of cowards! You need to come down here and teach them how to stand up to a tyrant because they obviously have no idea how to do it. They just know how to bury their heads in the sand and let Trump do whatever the hell he wants to destroy the country we spent 249 years building.
Memo to PM Carney: most Americans are not behind Trump's cockamamy scheme to "take" Canada. In fact, many of us are embarrassed and ashamed. So please don't say "they", say "he".
Spot on Charlie. Don't sit at home on the couch. Vote. Send the Maple MAGA south.
Good for you, Canada!
Hey MeidasTouch-Please interview these guys-info@centeredamerica.org-They had an awesome Live Show on Saturday, 19

"After SCOTUS 𝗨𝗡𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗠𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗟𝗬 ruled that the Trump administration must facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from a mega-prison in El Salvador, the President and his team are refusing to bring him home to his family.
Not only is this a disturbing and cruel move to keep an innocent man locked away in another country for no reason — it’s yet another signal that this executive branch is openly defying our system of checks and balances.
This is the equivalent of a five-alarm fire for our democracy. 𝗪𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸.

Tritorch has tendencies to cry out with dissatisfaction of what he is afraid of. Can you tell right from wrong if you are indecisive and take a non stance thereby diluting metal capacity to stand with your countrymen and countrywomen . If you do not care about others , others see you as maybe you can't see yourself.

Ty Canada for standing up to a convicted felon and a weak bully.
Charlie Angus 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏FUCK YOU TRUMP…………FUCK YOU !!!!!!!
I love Charlie Angus. He thinks exactly like us.
Thank you MT for giving us clear perspective on how America now looks from the outside. It's ugly, but it's the truth. 🦋
I voted for Carney on good Friday and it felt good. It was the first day when the advanced polls opened and the highest turnout ever on the first day of early voting. P.S. PP sucks and plastic is still a scourage.
Love this guy. I love that he says to Trump what I wish everyone could say. If things don’t turn around, I’m honestly thinking that Canada needs to annex some states in the United States.
Let's hope Canadian voters are a bit smarter than the American electorate...
Trump, Vance, Musk, Trump's Cabinet, GOPs, J6s, are the ones who should be incarcerated in El Salvador.
I love Charlie Angus!! Listening again!! 🇨🇦💪
Canada gets it. They've recognized the power of unity. The masses outnumber the tiny rulers and would-be dictators. We are seeing this in real time here in the USA. America is uniting against Trump. MAGA loyalists are quietly slinking away in the hope we won't remember who they are and what they stand for.
Well, it's rats off the ship first. Wait until his cabinet members fear angry protestors as they leave their homes or offices. Look for cries for "peace and understanding" as the Resistance continues to grow. Trump's inner circle is in the middle of a cannibalistic frenzy as he seeks to identify and toss so-called "leakers." Paranoia rules the roost, Ya'll.
Trump hates leaks? Well, there's $$$ to be made by leakers because "Enquiring Minds Want To Know." Trump cannot control what gets let out to the public. Whenever anything is prohibited (Prohibition), the opportunity for black market activity presents itself almost immediately.
As Trump continues to spiral out of control, his weaknesses will take center stage, and people who have in the past publicly supported him may suddenly grow silent. Everything connected to Trump withers and dies. He is unfit and accursed. He along with Musk, and Project 2025 are doomed to failure. MTN, Meidas Mighty, elbows up and let's Roll! 💙🏆💙
I like reading the interview instead of watching it.
Thanks.
BRAVO Canada, we the American people are with you.
We hate him (Trump) too.
Trumpism is the new most evil and dangerous ideology and must be defeated at all speed. He replaced Ivan the Terrible as Trump the Horrible.
I LOVE THIS MAN!! I LOVE CANADA!!
Poilievre on bread “dried up AND Moldy” lol just struck me as funny being that bread is rarely both When unwrapped.
Focus. Practice. Embrace mistakes! Learn that good enough is better than not at all. Do the things you are good at to encourage yourself to try things you never thought you ever would.
I had no idea that I would be good at academics. I was afraid. I took courses I was intellectually curious about and wanted to know as much as possible about. Meteorology for example and got the top mark in the class.
I was so excited about learning that I received four A's in my first four classes.
After my undergraduate degree my friend and I helped women on the streets in Vancouver. We took them home. Fed them and walked them to empowerment classes.
All the while complaining about the law! My daughter said,"Stop telling me about the mistreatment. Go to law school." She got a third job to send me the money to write the LSAT and enter law school.
I never had any intention of becoming a lawyer but I did become an advocate for wrongly convicted lifers.
Start by making/doing things you are curious and passionate about and keep doing stuff.
I am fully confident that you will find that you already have most of the rudimentary skills by having been in a family who valued meticulous and hard work. My children and grandchildren are excellent cooks. They didn't cook at home because I did☺️
You cannot learn
Thank you, what an incredibly heart warming response. That is so uplifting, I look to adopt such Grandparents like you. It isn’t often that I find empowering Octogenarians. So nice to fill the social Justice conversation gap I currently have with my own mennonite parents.
If you are on Facebook I’d love your connection. I’m Bonnie J Wiens currently under my Mom’s maiden name. I’m proud to say my spouse serves at the BC Ombudsperson office we share your love of social Justice.
I’m sure you have thoughts about Poilievre’s proposal of 100 years/life imprisonment for murder vs 20 years time served, and requirements for parole and rehabilitation.
So true! I baked hot cross buns and I baked all of the bread my family ate. Now, I am an octogenarian and live alone; I bake bread, pies, cookies because homemade is delicious. I make pyrogies and cabbage rolls and almost everything I eat from scratch. My freezer is rarely out of baked goods. Nothing is wasted.
When you grow up in "stone sucking poverty" you are encouraged to learn a lot of skills and how to care for things: sewing, designing, carpentering, painting, cooking, cleaning, darning, embroidering, knitting, crocheting....
😁😁😁I have never ordered a pizza. I make delicious pizza😁😁😁
RICH-LAZY IGNORANT-LYING WHINERS LIKE MAPLE MAGA POILIEVRE REALLY BOTHER ME
THE IDU CULT OF TRAITOROUS MAGA CPC CANDIDATES CANNOT WIN 😱
💥2025 CANADIAN ELECTION 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦💥VOTE LIBERAL CANDIDATES FROM COAST TO COAST TO COAST🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Damn, wish I lived near you. It would be fun to bake with someone. I’m 52. My Mom hated to cook and bake because she had problems with self esteem and didn’t consider herself as good at activities like other mennonite women.
Her own Mom was from the silent generation & was a perfectionist. My Grandmother modeled herself Queen Elizabeth but IMO like Queen Elizabeth had not yet been introduced to the concept of directly empowering women.
When I watch Netflix the Crown I see that Elizabeth was at least open to modern concepts but her role was to protect tradition even when it pained her family. She did learn to tune into the societal mood, adapt her approach and did sincerely care.
Go Canadians go!!! You will win against our Nazis here in office. I hope Canadians understand most Americans are disgusted with WH threats to Canada. You’ve been our friends forever. Kick those Maple MAGAs around. They deserve it with their terroist threats and dream of being much bigger than they actually are. Every Canadian needs to stand up against them and boot them around for trying to conquer and divide. Besides Canadians aren’t white supremacists!
Malignant, Narcissistic Slug...brilliant! live for your interviews and the greatest trump takedowns. I always feel so much better after listening to you two, I love this pairing. Your Trump takedowns are the best, so keep it up and keep those ELBOWS UP, we love you both so much! 💥🇨🇦🍁

ARE YOU PAID TO SPREAD THESE OUTRAGEOUS LIES? Or, are you mentally incapacitated and to be pitted?
Not at all, take a look at the facts history , follow the money!! Review , moose on the loose channel for starters
A Case for a Gold Standard Democrats Need to Step Up
The US is in the biggest credit/debt bubble($35T debt and in risk to be $40T+) in global history and at the top of a credit cycle(equity market highs) the Orange Cheeto has decided to inflict the world with a tariff war Shades of the market crash in 1929 coupled with the Smoot Hawley tariffs which led the country into a long term depression bailed out by the way by WWII spending not as Keynesian economists argue that it was JM Keynes
Inflation is not going down and consumers are suffering And the dollar is tanking(dropping below 100 for the first time in 4y and moving into low 10y territory) and foreign investors are nervous about the chaotic activity in government and losing confidence in investing in the US as a country This means that foreign as well as domestic investors are slowly moving away from buying bonds(in order to attract investors in bonds the bond yield has to increase to attract investors to buy our bonds since they taking on risk)
This now sets the stage for a classic debt trap The Fed cannot lower interest rates to deal with inflation….its typical tool to lower the inflation rate….and if the interest rates stay or go higher the government cannot afford the interest rate on the debt particularly if investors are reducing their purchase of bonds
Reintroduction of a gold standard will fix this debt trap that the country faces The reason that gold is going up to higher and higher is because the cost of credit/debt is going higher and the purchasing power of the dollar is going down hence inflation staying the same or going up
Democrats need to make the radical change and work toward re-establishing a gold standard that Nixon took the economy off in 1971 creating 50y period of fiat money, quantitative easing, and excessive government spending without scrutiny And they would find bipartisan support if they campaigned on the issue
Wonder of Piece of Shit will attempt to sue Charlie #ElbowsUp
Talk about twisting of words. Wow. Not even close to his message. We can’t afford another 4 years of liberals.

OLIGARCHS TALK LIKE YOU. Are you that wealthy that you can afford CPC CANDIDATES appeasing TRUMP? Can you afford to lose CANADA's SOVEREIGNTY? If so, you'd probably be happier moving south and cuddling up to your "AUTHORITARIAN DADDY TRUMP". Patriotic Canadians will VOTE FOR LIBERAL CANDIDATES COAST TO COAST TO COAST.
You comment is why i dislike the liberals. You must live in the East. I’m not a Trump fan, he would be best at the end of a rope. I am a patriot canadian and that is why I will not vote Liberal. The damage that party has done to MY country in the last 9 years, will not be forgotten by me. You are pathetic.
Born in Vancouver. Raised children in the interior. Went to university in BC.
LIBERAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE TOO MANY TO MENTION:
Here are a few to remind you.
💥Getting Canada through the pandemic with approximately 70 % less deaths per capita than the USA was heroic!
💥Helping indigenous peoples get clean water after 10 years of Harper saying it was not a CPC priority.
💥Providing support for the beginning of indigenous self governance
💥HELPING MANITOBA SEARCH FOR MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN (PC's refused and lost the election).
💥Created $10.00 per day daycare many areas of Canada
💥Never threatened to undermine CANADA's SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS.
💥Upholds the power of the Supreme Court of Canada to make decisions based upon CONSTITUTIONAL LAW and uphold THE CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.
💥Passed the Child tax credit-- bringing hundreds of thousands of Canadian children out of poverty.
💥BUILT THE TRANSMOUNTAIN PIPELINE after Harper-Poilievre CPC had 10 years to build a pipeline and didn't build anything of importance
💥Recognized the effects of the climate CRISIS and attempted to mitigate the costly effect of burning towns to the ground: Lytton BC/Jasper AB and destructive forest fires elsewhere across Canada
💥PASSED STRONG WEAPONS LAWS and LEGISLATION to take "weapons of war" out of the hands of civilians and preemptively prevent the rise of MASSACRES in Canada and to prevent SCHOOL SHOOTINGS.
💥Held INTERNATIONAL FASCISTS AT BAY during a period of far right conservative countries destroying democracies around the world: Trump, Erdogan, Orban/Trump again😱
ChristoFascist supporters elect dictators.
💥Created Canada's largest park in the north with INDIGENOUS GUARDIANS
You get the point?
Trump reinstated plastic straws.
PP wants to save a loaf of bread with a plastic bag (as though commercial bread was ever endangered) PP is not interested in making the ocean safe for sea turtles and other endangered sea life.
PP wants to be a dictator. Like Trump. PP believes he can overrule an established SCC RULING by utilizing the notwithstanding clause. PP and CPC wanted to create private jails and prisons during the Harper Regime.
If the CPC gains power they will irrevocably change Canada's criminal code. Create more incarceration to provide BODIES to fill PRIVATE FOR PROFIT PRISONS.
🛑 CPC
VOTE LIBERAL CANDIDATES ACROSS CANADA.
What is unfolding in Canada is not politics. It is not reform. It is a hostile takeover by global forces using one of the most sophisticated and destructive plans ever devised to collapse a free society from within. The plan is referred to as the #ClowardPivenStrategy. The man they have chosen to complete this agenda is Mark #Carney.
Mark Carney was not elected. He was selected. His loyalty is not to the Canadian people. It is to the World Economic Forum (WEF), the United Nations (UN), the Bank for International Settlements, and other unelected global institutions that aim to erase national sovereignty and individual freedom.
In 1966, Columbia University professors Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven developed an eight-point strategy to collapse a free nation from within intentionally. Their idea was to overwhelm the system through massive economic and social destabilization so that citizens would beg for authoritarian control in exchange for survival. This strategy has now been adapted and weaponized by global financial elites and is being applied to #Canada right now. Unfortunately most #Liberals and #PPC voters are to dense to see it.
If you have never heard of the Cloward-Piven Strategy, it does not matter. It is already being implemented for you. You are not imagining the chaos. It is designed to demoralize you, to confuse you, and to make you submit.
Mark Carney is the chosen executor. Below are the eight points of the Cloward-Piven Strategy, along with concrete actions Carney has taken to implement each one.
1. Overload and bankrupt the welfare system
In 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdowns, Carney publicly supported massive government stimulus spending, including the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB), which gave more than eight million Canadians free money with no strings attached. This program cost over 81 billion Canadian dollars. Carney, in a July 2020 speech to the London School of Economics, called these types of stimulus packages "essential tools for transition" and praised the role of public finance in "accelerating the shift to stakeholder capitalism."
The Canadian COVID-19 lockdowns were not about public health. @everyoneThey were all about creating permanent dependency. The more individuals rely on government support, the more control the government has. Canada’s debt has now reached more than 1.5 trillion dollars. The system is being driven toward bankruptcy by design.
2. Raise the cost of living until survival becomes the only focus
In February 2021, Carney co-authored a report for the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, where he pushed for removing capital from carbon-based industries and redirecting it into climate-compliant investments. The direct outcome of this has been a reduction in oil and gas supply, spiking prices across the board.
In July 2022, Carney’s climate agenda began affecting Canadian energy producers when major banks stopped issuing loans to oil and gas firms unless they complied with net-zero targets. With fuel prices soaring, Canadians now face historic inflation. Food banks across the country report record demand. In Canada, the cost of groceries has increased from March 2020 to March 2025, approximately 30.2 percent in total.
Carney knows these policies crush the middle class. That is the point. When individuals struggle to feed their families or fill their gas tanks, they stop resisting.
3. Defund and destabilize law enforcement
On June 8, 2020, just days after the death of George Floyd in the United States, Carney wrote an op-ed in the Globe and Mail endorsing social movements that called for defunding police. In that article, he promoted the idea that institutions need to be reformed to serve “social justice” rather than law and order. His exact words were that the economy must become more “inclusive” and must reflect new social priorities.
In Canada, this narrative led to police budget reductions in major cities, including Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. The result has been a significant rise in violent crime, carjackings, and open drug use. As cities become less safe, public demand increases for technological surveillance, biometric security, and government monitoring. Carney has supported the digital ID infrastructure that will replace traditional policing with algorithmic control.
4. Control education to indoctrinate the next generation
In October 2020, Carney became head of the Brookfield ESG advisory group, which has since partnered with the United Nations to fund youth education programs across North America. These programs are designed to train children and university students to accept climate compliance, equity mandates, and global governance as normal.
In March 2023, the University of Toronto received millions in funding tied to a Brookfield-backed ESG curriculum. These classes redefine economic freedom as dangerous and promote submission to centralized digital control. The youth of Canada are no longer being educated. They are being conditioned.
5. Eliminate private property through regulation, taxation, and debt traps
Carney supports net-zero home compliance. In April 2023, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation proposed mandatory energy audits for homes before sale. This policy was developed in part by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures, which Carney chairs.
These audits will be used to justify carbon taxes on homeowners, making it impossible for many families to sell or afford upgrades. At the same time, interest rate hikes driven by central banks have doubled mortgage payments since early 2022. Carney supports these hikes as necessary to curb inflation. The result is mass foreclosure. This is not mismanagement. This is extraction.
6. Promote division through identity politics
Carney has repeatedly made public statements aligning with social justice narratives. In May 2021, he gave a speech at the Public Policy Forum where he called for economic systems that serve “racial justice,” “climate justice,” and “gender equity.” These are not neutral goals. They are designed to divide individuals and pit them against one another based on race, gender, and ideology.
While Canadians fight over perceived slights and identity labels, the real theft is happening quietly. Carney’s controllers benefit from chaos. The more fractured society becomes, the easier it is to dominate.
7. Undermine faith and family to replace them with state loyalty
In 2019, Carney spoke at the Vatican in support of the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, a group designed to unite global corporations, financial institutions, and the Catholic Church under a single moral-economic framework. The message was clear. Loyalty must shift from traditional institutions to a centralized system where moral authority is dictated by economic compliance.
At the same time, Canadian government programs now incentivize children to bypass parental consent on gender decisions, vaccines, and personal health records. Carney supports these policies. They remove the parent and insert the state.
8. Create permanent dependence on the state through programmable money
Carney is one of the most vocal international advocates for Central Bank Digital Currencies. In a December 2019 speech at the Bank for International Settlements, Carney said that the future of money will be programmable and trackable and must support sustainable development.
In October 2023, the Bank of Canada began pilot testing a Central Bank Digital Currency. Carney is advising that effort. Once implemented, this programmable currency will allow the government to freeze accounts, limit purchases, and control every financial transaction. There will be No Cash! No Privacy! No Freedom!
This is the full Cloward-Piven strategy. These are not theories. These are documented facts. And Mark Carney is being placed into the Canadian federal election scheduled for April 28, 2025, to finish the job."
I've been a prisoner's advocate for wrongly convicted lifers since I graduated from law school in 1993.
Harper destroyed the most effective rehabilitative programs.
1. Closed the prison farms and privatized food services
2. Absolutely wrecked the prison visiting program causing a huge disturbance in prisoner support, families to break up, and ruin children's lives.
PP wants to
remove the concept of rehabilitation altogether.
I'm not going down your conspiracy path. I know from experience exactly how CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENTS HAVE ACTED.
2018 HARPER BECAME CHAIR OF THE INTERNATIONAL DEMOCRAT UNION
The IDU has supported AdF in Germany, ruined democracy in Hungary and Turkey and is in the process of destroying the USA.
END OF DISCUSSION
Yeah it’s Harper’s fault. Give your head a shake!
Harper's history and graduation to the IDU after his scandals: ROBO calls. MP DelMaestro going to jail for election finance fraud, Mike Duffy scapegoating. Vic Toews the Harper Justice Minister impregnating his babysitter. Preacher MP Don Meredith having a relationship with a young parishioner. DIC PIC TONY CLEMENT sending photographs over the www.
Harper became IDU CHAIR and took DIC PIC along as his Deputy.
Yup. Harper’s terrible judgment and cozy relationship with women's rights hating Preston Manning DESTROYED “Dief the Chief's Conservative Party.
It's definitely Harper's fault that he has spread his personal NorthernFront FAR RIGHT ideology worldwide and it’s his fault that he's helped to destroy democracies around the world.
Always someone else’s fault. 9 years of the liberals destroying my country and you will accept no fault on them. I’ll go back to my original statement. You’re pathetic.
Crime is up, housing is unaffordable for most, food bank usage is at an all time high, health care is an absolute mess. Gun buy back was a joke, scandal after scandal.
But let’s focus on the indigenous water, shall we. Here is a little reading for you.

“Without anyone Stepping In To Stop Him’
Small detail but telling I think. As PP flashes the plastic bagged vegetables during the clip there is a flash of the label on the bag of mixed vegetables. If I have it right, that is a label identifying a company that markets produce from the US. Canada First?
I so enjoy you and Charlie Angus - thanks! I naively hadn't realized how much Canadians and others around the world hated Trump. I thought that was a special privilege just for us, even though I'm smack on the border in Vermont. We love that Canada has our back. It means the world right now. Elbows up, Canada! Stay sassy!
The first time I heard “Elbows Up” was Charlie explaining it for Ben. His message to Trump from Canada: thanks for uniting us with your threats, we're moving on, and we're stepping up. I think he's saying to the world: Watch us and ready yourselves to Go Full Canada. It's the only sure way to play Trump's threats against your nation. Keep going, @Charlie Angus / The Resistance !
How is this legal ,???? 🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡
I have a question: I have some money, not billions, but I want to preserve it and don't trust what's happening now in the US regarding investments. Would it be possible for Charlie Angus to ask one of his banking friends (I'm assuming he has some) to have them explain to Americans how they can get their money out of the US and into the Canadian banking system?
For all my compatriots in Canada. :) Enjoy! Fuck Maple-MAGA! Feel free to share.

'"Okay, this isn't real': Dem lawmaker stunned by 'childish' Trump social media post."
"During an appearance on MSNBC, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) expressed surprise and dismay that someone in Donald Trump's White House posted a meme screenshot that made fun of Kilmer Abrego Garcia and his incarceration in El Salvador.
Speaking with host Katie Phang, Crockett was asked about the screenshot of a New York Times headline that has been altered to say Abrego Garcia is "never coming back," from the maximum security prison where he has been held.
After Phang had her producers show the post, Crockett pounced on the post on the official White House account.
"One of my colleagues actually put this post up in a group chat and I was like, 'Okay, this isn't real, right?'" she told the host. "Because it was just a picture, and then she was like, 'No, it's absolutely real,' and I was like, 'who are we and where are we living? And who is running this country?'"
"Because the level of childishness that we saw in this post, but also just the level of cruelty and the level of admission that we've seen, right?" she added, "Like Katie, you and I both know that ultimately, this is not the last that we have seen of this post. This post will most likely show up in some court filing when they are trying to determine whether or not this court has –– or I'm sorry –– this administration has intentionally decided that it wanted to ignore a court order."
She then added, "This will most likely show up in a contempt hearing, so I don't know why, I don't know who's advising or I don't know if they really do care." (Raw Story)

It all started with the Supreme Court over the weekend temporarily halted the Trump administration's deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members under an 18th-century law.That led one MAGA influencer to write on X, "As usual, Alito and Thomas are the only two Justices you can count on to uphold the integrity of our republic. Replacing them is going to be one of the most important issues of our time." (Raw Story)

'"It’s Political Science 101': Republicans put an 'expiration date' on Trump economic pain."
"Republican insiders throughout the country are giving Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt that the economic pain Americans are experiencing due to his trade war, will be short-lived and won't cripple them at the ballot box in the 2026 midterm election.
But they have their limits.
According to a report from Politico's Liz Crampton, GOP lawmakers and campaign consultants are standing firm behind the president and his on-again, off-again tariff proposals for the moment but are acknowledging things could go south quickly if lower prices and jobs don't return.
As Crampton wrote, "Some Republicans are putting an expiration date on how long they’ll tolerate the economic fallout from Donald Trump’s trade war," adding, "Interviews with nearly three dozen Republican leaders and operatives in seven battlegrounds — from party chairs to strategists to state lawmakers — reveal a growing acknowledgment that economic shocks could hamper the party’s prospects in the midterms."

"'Could get ugly': Fox reporter spills 'breaking' news on Trump 'risking financial crisis'."
"A veteran Donald Trump reporter says the president is willing to risk financial crisis in order to enact his biggest agenda items.
FOX Biz senior correspondent Charles Gasparino, who reports on Trump often and earned the ire of MAGA when he recently reported that conservatives were wrong to suggest Trump outsmarted the world with tariffs, took to social media to issue a breaking alert." (Raw Story)

'"Get a grip': Conservative ignites fury on all sides over 'dissolve Supreme Court' comment."
"A conservative talk show host drew fire from all sides after suggesting Donald Trump and his administration should simply "ignore the Supreme Court" and potentially even "dissolve" it.
Jesse Kelly, who in 2021 openly speculated that Republicans may soon get tired of "following the rules" and "pick a fascist" to lead the party, has also been criticized for his prior social media comments.
On Saturday, he turned his attention toward the nation's top court, after it temporarily halted the Trump administration's deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members under an 18th-century law." (Raw Story)

'"Supreme Court has an inkling': Ex-prosecutor says top justices know Trump's big plan."
"The Supreme Court is clued in to Donald Trump's plan to undercut their power, an ex-prosecutor said on Saturday.
Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance over the weekend posted an essay explaining the various deportation cases in which Trump's administration is involved. As part of that explainer, Vance sounded the alarm about what she sees as Trump's agenda." Trump is trying to break the government. To control all its levers, he needs a complicit judiciary to go along with a complacent Congress," she wrote on Substack. She then added, "The Supreme Court seems to have an inkling of the fix they’ve put themselves in, with Trump trying to accumulate power at the courts’ expense." (Raw Story)

'"Problem for Trump people'. GOP insider flags big issue for President's legal case."
"Donald Trump's White House keeps pumping out information seeking to discredit a wrongly deported man, and that's exactly the conversation they want to be having, a GOP strategist said Saturday.
Speaking on MSNBC's PoliticsNation this weekend, Republican strategist Susan del Percio, who has a history of working with Republican candidates and in Rudy Giuliani's administration, was asked about the case involving a Maryland man, Kilmar Ábrego García, who was purportedly sent to El Salvador in error."

"Revealed: Far-right pressuring Johnson to join Trump in new attack."
"Dismantling the federal government won’t be complete without upending the judicial branch — or so many conservatives argue, which is why rank-and-file Republicans are pressuring party leaders to fall in line and join White House efforts to purge the nation’s judiciary.
Before Congress left town for its two-week Easter recess, Speaker Mike Johnson tried to placate his right flank by ushering a bill restricting national injunctions through the House. Party leaders have also promised hearings.
None of that’s good enough for many rank-and-file Republicans, especially because President Donald Trump and his agency-gutting sidekick Elon Musk have tossed their support behind fringe-right proposals to impeach federal judges.
“There’s gotta be accountability,” Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) told Raw Story. “If we can't impeach them, we should defund them.”
The two-term Congressman is one of five Republicans who’ve authored seven separate articles of impeachment targeting six judges. All in the first three months of this new Congress." (Raw Story)

"Farmers in deep-red state spell trouble for Trump, as he mocks the Constitution."
"Before this week, I didn’t think I could feel any deeper shame than I felt in February, watching Trump and Vance in the Oval Office attacking a real hero of democracy, Ukraine’s President Zelensky. Then, on Monday, Trump sat in the same chairs with President Bukele, brutal dictator of a notorious banana republic, and invited him to openly mock the United States Supreme Court.
Trump and Bukele tag-teamed their choreographed refusal to return Abrego Garcia to the US, which amounted to telling the Supreme Court ‘No,’ they will ‘not’ obey its unanimous order to remove Garcia from the El Salvador hell hole where Trump is paying Bukele to keep him." (Raw Story)

Just ordered the T for my husband, a proud Scottish-Canadian American!
We are so proud of Charlie Angus for uniting us as a nation to stand up together for our country.
I am so very proud to be a Canadian. Keep fighting for the rights of the people in the USA who are struggling
Big shout out to all our Canadian brothers and sisters for staying strong, being united, and coming together against the crazy tyrant!!
Charlie Angus is amazing! He's not only an example and an inspiration for you Canadians, but a reminder of the type of leader we need in the US.
Over the boards, my brothers and sisters!!! Stay feisty, and we're looking forward to our 'common' Independence Day when our mad king is gone forever.
Thanks Ben for continuing the conversation with Canada! We’ll give you honorary Canadian citizenship.

"House passes bill that could make it harder for married women to vote."
"Voting rights groups warn that the SAVE Act, which requires documentation proving citizenship, adds a burden to people who have changed their last names.
The U.S. House has passed a bill that voting rights groups have repeatedly warned would make it harder for millions of Americans, including married women, to vote.
The Republican-controlled House on Thursday voted for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The legislation purportedly aims to block non-citizens from voting, which is already illegal and is very rare.
The bill would require an individual to present in person a passport, birth certificate or other citizenship document when registering to vote or updating their voter registration information.
Voting rights groups have said the bill will pose a barrier for millions of American women and others who have changed their legal name because of marriage, assimilation, or to better align with their gender identity. An estimated 69 million American women and 4 million men do not have a birth certificate that matches their current legal name.
Republicans who support the bill claim that states will be able to create processes so people can prove their citizenship, if their name doesn’t match their birth certificate.

"The Social Security Administration spends a lot of time and money making sure that it finds out when people die. Now, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are using that work to attack legal immigrants, by declaring them dead in Social Security’s Death Master File.1
Because Social Security’s Death Master File is used by banks, credit bureaus, and other financial institutions, Trump and Musk are claiming the power to legally declare their enemies dead with a simple keystroke―with no oversight.
We have stood up to Trump and Musk before, and we’ve won! We can do it again! They have backed down when we pushed back on stealing our sensitive data and on slashing services Social Security allows you to access over the phone. We can win this too."

THEODORE ROOSEVELT: "Speak softly and carry a big stick."
DONALD TRUMP: "Scream loudly and be an obnoxious dick."
"Nothing mattered, in the end. Not the probable dementia, the unfathomable ignorance, the emotional incontinence; not, certainly, the shambling, hate-filled campaign, or the ludicrously unworkable anti-policies.
The candidate out on bail in four jurisdictions, the convicted fraud artist, the adjudicated rapist and serial sexual predator, the habitual bankrupt, the stooge of Vladimir Putin, the man who tried to overturn the last election and all of his creepy retinue of crooks, ideologues and lunatics: Americans took a long look at all this and said, yes please.
There is no sense in understating the depth of the disaster. This is a crisis like no other in our lifetimes. The government of the United States has been delivered into the hands of a gangster, whose sole purpose in running, besides staying out of jail, is to seek revenge on his enemies. The damage Donald Trump and his nihilist cronies can do – to America, but also to its democratic allies, and to the peace and security of the world – is incalculable." - Robert Reich
Boston Strong ! Supports Canada Strong ! Elbows up across both nations !
Pierre Poilievre tried begging Trump to interfere in the Canadian elections. He's an untrustworthy slimy slug too.
We voted for Canada strong, and women and LGBTQ++ and Canadians on the 18th - yes it was a good Friday ❤️🇨🇦❤️
🇨🇦🌟#democracy +decency for everyone, for every single day 🌟🇨🇦 #lets go global 🌟🇨🇦
I voted for Prime Minister Carney! Get out and VOTE!!🇨🇦
Thank you Ben for referencing Rachel Gilmore. She is a Canadian independent journalist and is doing daily coverage of the Canadian election. It is from Rachel that i learned that the Shopify executives are advocating right-wing MAGA stuff; they want to be Maple Musk and Doge North. And Musk endorses Poilievre. Canada must not let Maple MAGA and Doge North take over the government.
California here .I support Canada 💯💥💯💥💯
