I’d like to just point out that sure, we’re fighting a criminal corrupt fascist regime with zero morals or ethics (or empathy, as they’ve self proclaimed), but Canadians are holding the line WHILE ALSO BAKING COOKIES.

Last of all, given the fraught situation between the U.S. and Canadian governments, our @CultureDesk shared an explanation of the term “elbows up” by MP Charlie Angus. For an extra treat, here’s a video to inspire Canadians through the weekend and beyond: Joe Canada/Jeff Douglas’s updated “I am Canadian” ad, but this time it’s not for beer.

For months, Angus has been trying to persuade Canada’s election oversight body to launch an investigation into #Musk and his social media platform X over concerns about potential interference by the tech billionaire.
“We don’t have a game plan for dealing with the #UnitedStates as an aggressive foreign threat to #democracy, but we need to have one now,” Angus said.
“We are right next to his regime. Our country is the most vulnerable of them all.”

"Canadians understand that this is not a trade war we're talking about.
"This is a war by other means: A war of disinformation and ridicule, questioning our right to exist, our sovereignty, our borders. It's very much the way Putin launched his disinformation war in the years leading up to the brutal invasion of Ukraine.
"It's a seige war.
"Canadians know what's at stake. We will not bend or break"

If you've seen Canadians share messages on social media (and "Saturday Night Live") with the words "elbows up" and wondered what that means, MP Charlie Angus has written this helpful explainer. Referring to the late, great hockey player Gordie Howe, Angus writes: "When Gordie put the elbows up, guys lost teeth or ended up with black eyes ... A big surprise is coming for guys like Pete Navarro, J. D. Vance, and the Trump trolls who think they can bully, threaten and push us around."
Debating taking the drive to London ON this day. Anyone else going? #cdnpoli #charlieangus
Damn shame he's retiring. And it's clear whose side the cops are on:
"Officer Derek told my assistant that these guys were just "a few local journalists" and that they had come to interview me.
"And with that, Ottawa Police bid farewell and left me in the hands of a hate gang."

Charlie Angus attempts to wake the frog. Canadian politicians have to think, speak, and act like we're entering a crisis, possibly existential, for our country. Otherwise, our chicken-of-the-forest is cooked.
