There is a global boycott underway against Chat GPT. Open AI is working with the Pentagon and ICE. They have donated $25 million to Trump. They are working for the authoritarians. People have the power to resist and send a message to the toxic tech bros.

“The culture wars are a smokescreen because the real fight isn’t left vs right it’s top vs bottom” - James Talarico
The Save America Movement ad campaign includes one for Canada: “Ambassador Pete Hoekstra’s threats against Canada disgrace every American. His disrespect shames and embarrasses us.The American people stand with the people of Canada. We will defend your sovereignty as fiercely as we defend our own.”
“Farmers lured north by free land. Oil executives in Calgary but rooted in Houston. Religious groups influenced by American evangelicals. Their cultural home is the US. This explains the separation movement far better than the tired old list of supposed “grievances” with the Canadian government.”
“Threats of annexation, repeated and uncorrected, are not jokes. Diplomatic contempt, delivered casually and publicly, is not personality. Quiet engagement with provincial separatists is not curiosity.These are tools of pressure used by authoritarian governments that view sovereignty as conditional”
“What people most admire in Canada is the capacity to endure, no doubt a product of the brutality of the landscape…Terry Fox ran a marathon a day for 143 days on a single leg to raise money for cancer. The idols of our national sport spit out their teeth and get back in the game.”
“The love for Canadians is palpable”
Coyne: “Maybe this will force Canadians to confront the basic illegitimacy of the separatist movements. This is a free country. You can always leave the country if you want to. You can’t take a piece of it with you.”
This time last year, we'd be freaking out. But this is a paper tiger and after his Davos disaster, and his complete climbdown on Greenland, no one takes him seriously on any of this crap. His administration's days are numbered. Stinks of death throes.
“The US can no longer be trusted. We need to chart our own course.”
Buckle Up: MAGA Disinformation Targets Alberta Separatism
Prof @duanebratt.bsky.social says that Alberta will probably be flooded with Brexit-like propaganda from the United States.

“You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination”
Independent Canadian media 💯
“In the early days, I saw posts about Canadians helping Americans stranded during 9/11 or how we helped hide hostages in Iran. We wanted to remind Americans that we were friendly neighbours. But Trump wasn’t kidding around. And we knew these threats were for real. And then everything changed.”
UNLOCKED | Michael Harris: One of the best things about Canada is we’ll never elect a Donald Trump

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.
“What would it mean for Canada to walk away from 80 years of multilateral engagement? We would be weaker. Isolated. Left on our own in an age of kleptocrats and gangsters. That’s what Trump and Putin want. The question Canadians need to ask is: Is this what the Conservative Party of Canada wants?”
Gonna check in on Canada, where politics is more normal... I see there is a convoy headed to Ottawa to avenge a flock of dead ostriches
JD Vance blaming immigrants for Canada’s housing crisis is peak hypocrisy. The U.S. GOP broke its own housing market w/ 50-yr mortgages & Wall St landlords — now he’s importing MAGA scapegoating north while smearing CBC for telling the truth.

What the world thinks of Canada…
“Canadians do not need a lecture about decency from a man who as ambassador to the Netherlands claimed that Muslims were lighting politicians on fire. Hoekstra was born there, a country that Canadian soldiers liberated, where 7,600 of them were killed. So with all due respect — shut the fuck up.”
“There are plenty of political voices and Facebook group members telling you this country is broken.
But the actual numbers say something very different.”
“Canadians are not well informed about energy investment choices because our energy conversations are dominated by oil and pipeline companies, banks, mining companies… our national conversation about energy is warped”
We need regulation on data centres. They are an environmental nightmare. We can use renewable energy, not fossil fuels, protect millions of litres of water, and rising energy costs for Canadians. @mark-carney.bsky.social @ndp.ca #cdnpoli macleans.ca/technology-3...
“CBC says we are witnessing the emergence of a new ‘counterculture.’ Woah. Stop there. Calling for the forcible deportation of 8 million people does not represent a countercultural movement. It is a hate agenda.”
“There’s a global conflict, run by gangsters: Putin, Trump, Netanyahu. They look at a nation that believes in rule of law, with immense resources, that believes in decency. You don’t think that if they send the army against Portland they won’t target us? The line Canadians are holding matters!!”
