@avilewis I am amazed to see you on the fediverse. There are so few Canadian politicians here and most seem to be fixated on promoting Elon Musk's network X. I look forward to seeing more of your messages. #ndp #leadership #canada #canpoli

Canada will only survive and thrive if it diversifies its economy and makes it less dependant on one. Being dependant on one economy makes Canada vulnerable to being taken hostage and losing freedom. #democracy #trade #davos #unitednations

@dbattistella he is freezing at minus 9 celsius? I don't think the Americans could hold Greenland for an hour based on this clip. #greenland #nato #sovereignty #un #ruleoflaw

NATO is likely effectively dead. If the potentially 7 tariffed countries capitulate to the US than the alliance is gone. If they resist than the situation escalates. Unless the US backs down there is no way out. #nato #alliance #unitednations #europe

It appears that Greenland's allies will be hit with a potential tariff if they don't agree to Greenland's surrender to an occupying force. #greenland #democracy #freedom #nato

@ZebKing I am really surprised that more Canadian politicians are not on the fediverse and especially those who talk about national sovereignty. There seems to be a disconnect there. #fediverse #sovereignty #socialmedia
