For decades, I have been a broken record calling to #BeLikeCanada and #BanCollegeFrats. This is based on my student experience in a #fraternity in #Canada and then 30+ years of teaching in #HigherEd in the #UnitedStates. I have not seen anything like what #PennState has just discovered, but it does *not* surprise me. “Animal House” was tame compared to reality in many #fraternities. https://onwardstate.com/2026/08/17/14-charged-in-cocaine-trafficking-investigation-tied-to-penn-state-fraternities/

#Trump did that! ⬇️ #BeLikeCanada 🇨🇦
Meanwhile, the #UnitedStates is losing jobs and #FoodBanks are overflowing - with new beneficiaries.
#Resist #kakistocracy in #USpol with #ElbowsUp 💪!

@AskPippa Instead of “I’d like to buy the world a Coke”, let’s get peace-loving people from around the globe 🌎 singing “I’d like to buy the world some poutine!”

#BeLikeCanada and cultivate philanthropists who *support* #science instead of trying to destroy it because it sometimes reveals an ‘#InconvenientTruth.’ https://news.mcmaster.ca/inspired-by-lifesaving-cancer-care-mcnally-family-makes-5-million-gift-to-mcmaster/

#BeLikeCanada is generally good advice, especially for Americans staring into the maw of a #FelonsCrusade in #Iran that won’t end until the #UnitedStates runs out of guns or money.
Bug don’t be like #Alberta , the ‘crazy uncle’ province. #CdnPoli #USpol

@angrystaffer.bsky.social George W. Bush didn’t learn anything from the Johnson & Nixon quagmire in #Vietnam.
#DonaldTrump didn’t learn anything from the George W. Bush quagmire in #Iraq.
#BeLikeCanada and avoid any obvious military #quagmire.
#Histodons #resist the #FelonsCrusade in #Iran.

@VeroniqueB99 #BeLikeCanada and put the lives of humans before the profits of corporations. ⬆️
Good news for many #Americans on the #FourthOfJuly , #Canada has greatly expanded its citizenship eligibility, eh! https://immigrationnewscanada.ca/new-canada-citizenship-rules-2026/
#Resist healthily!
#MedicareForAll #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦 💪 -
Happy #CanadaDay to #Americans who want to celebrate the birth of a #democracy in North America, but are currently too embarrassed by #kakistocracy in #USpol to celebrate the #FourthOfJuly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Day
#Resist with #ElbowsUp. #BeLikeCanada 💪 🇨🇦

@LRRRonEarth Got a boombox? https://youtu.be/O9HFjErMMlA
#BeLikeCanada 🇨🇦 💪
#Resist artfully! -
@DrALJONES Fun fact: You can avoid the ‘#Vietnam syndrome’ easily: Just #BeLikeCanada , eh!
After Pierre Trudeau refused to support the #VietnamWar , #Nixon called him an “asshole”. Trudeau famously responded “I’ve been called worse things by better people.”
This ‘#Canada effect’ is long-lasting, too!
When Jean Crétien was Prime Minister, he sent #Canadian troops to #Afghanistan (#NATO Article 5) but told #GeorgeWBush to ‘pound sand’ in #Iraq with his bloody #WarForOil. 💪 🇨🇦

@opethminded @samlitzinger #BeLikeCanada 🇨🇦 , get your #ElbowsUp 💪 to put an *end* to #gerrymandering. https://www.patreon.com/posts/briefing-there-128124092
In a representative #democracy , voters choose their representatives, NOT the other way around, like it is in #USpol.
#Resist intelligently.

@CStamp It’s impossible to drink a shot of #wine or #whisky *without* lifting your #ElbowsUp a bit! 💪
#BeLikeCanada 🇨🇦
#Resist #kakistocracy and #TrumpRussiaCollusion in #USpol. -
@Quasit So many hospitals are closing in the #UnitedStates that they need to have an online tracker with frequent updates. https://closedcaretracker.com
I have never heard of a hospital going bankrupt in #Canada. So #Canadian #healthcare is not “going American.”
But #MedicareForAll may be coming to the #USA soon. #BeLikeCanada
To answer your question, #Halifax is fun if you like lobster 🦞 , beer 🍺 and Nor’easters.

@servelan #BeLikeCanada 🇨🇦
Make #gerrymandering illegal everywhere! -
@TexasObserver #BeLikeCanada 🇨🇦, make #gerrymandering illegal across the country! https://www.vox.com/2014/4/15/5604284/us-elections-are-rigged-but-canada-knows-how-to-fix-them

@TexasObserver #PrimaryFromTheCenter #StrategicVoting is guaranteed by simple #math to thwart partisan #gerrymandering.
The #UnitedStates is too paralyzed to #BeLikeCanada which ended gerrymandering. https://www.vox.com/2014/4/15/5604284/us-elections-are-rigged-but-canada-knows-how-to-fix-them
But it can still make it politically useless to #gerrymander districts; #resist intelligently!

When Pierre #Trudeau was Prime Minister of #Canada he told #RichardNixon to “fuck off” when he tried to drag Canada into the #Vietnam quagmire.
Jean Chrétien was Prime Minister when the #September11th #terrorist attacks occurred. He sent #Canadian troops to help the #UnitedStates fight #AlQaeda in #Afghanistan but told #GeorgeWBush to “fuck off” when he wanted support invading #Iraq after bogus claims about #WMD.
#Canada outlawed #Gerrymandering. https://www.vox.com/2014/4/15/5604284/us-elections-are-rigged-but-canada-knows-how-to-fix-them
Moral: #BeLikeCanada

@TexasObserver #Democrats and #Independents in #Texas should get their #ElbowsUp and #BeLikeCanada 🇨🇦 💪. https://www.vox.com/2014/4/15/5604284/us-elections-are-rigged-but-canada-knows-how-to-fix-them
Put an end to #gerrymandering where politicians pick their voters instead of the other way around.
#Americans used to be able to do hard things. What the hell happened?!
-
@georgetakei #BeLikeCanada 🇨🇦, make #gerrymandering illegal. Or is #USpol completely paralyzed by extreme partisanship? https://www.vox.com/2014/4/15/5604284/us-elections-are-rigged-but-canada-knows-how-to-fix-them

#DonaldTheDeplorable has told #BananaRepublicans in the helplessly drowning state of #Texas to redraw districts so he gets 5 extra votes in the House of ‘Representatives’. https://www.sacurrent.com/news/as-trump-looks-to-net-five-gop-seats-through-texas-redistricting-democrats-grasp-for-response-37997852
#Americans need to fight corrupt politicians that want to choose their voters instead of vice versa. #BeLikeCanada 🇨🇦 💪; get our #ElbowsUp and make #gerrymandering ILLEGAL! https://www.vox.com/2014/4/15/5604284/us-elections-are-rigged-but-canada-knows-how-to-fix-them
