MAGA premier Danielle "DONBAS" SMITH wrote legislation making it illegal for the courts to question the constitutionality of a referendum to break up our country.
She forgets her legislature sits on treaty land.

This should be a wake up call for anyone who think Poilievre is loyal to Canada, would stand up to the orange menace or defend Canadian interests.
Meanwhile the leader of the Conservative Party, a man who does not care one iota for international law, is taking a victory lap, declaring “Down with Socialism” and echoing US lies about “narco-terrorism.”

He’s previously said the Nazis were in fact socialists, not fascists.

The #USA now: 👇
"“no rules of engagement” rules of engagement and kidnap and try our presidents and their wives"
As bad as Maduro is, some problems:
Will other countries adopt these “no rules of engagement” rules of engagement and kidnap and try our presidents and their wives? Will other countries see this as a threat and attack? What is “narco-terrorism”? We just announce official things on Twitter as policy?

The #RideauCanal in Ottawa did partially open at 0800 hrs this morning as advertised, but the open part of the surface is rated as "poor" and "fair", which in my books is not good enough for #skating on.

We will get out there for a #skate, not today.
