Extremely alarming. The US is now involved in destabilizing Canada. As a european it can’t be said enough; let’s hope our EU leaders do everything to help Canada to stand up to this threat. Pure fascism. We can even offer Canada to join EU if they want to do that.

I think the way to get rid of Miller is for Trump to find out that everyone thinks that Miller is the real president. No way Trump can handle that ego blow.
And it’s pretty clear that someone, or more than one, inside the White House is no longer working with him

One of the many things that worries me is that Brits might have got so angry about immigration, and so desperate about public services, that they'd even vote Reform - a bunch of fringe extremists they'd normally laugh at.
