This could equally apply to Scotland
“Many Canadians are feeling anxious and worried about the drastically changing world around them.”
“Canadians can give themselves far more than any foreign power on any continent can ever take away.”

Arrogance and cruelty, and let’s not forget ignorance: the defining characteristics of a trump administration
NEW from Abrego Garcia's attorneys:
"The Government continues to delay, obfuscate, and flout court orders, while a man’s life and safety is at risk. Its request for an extension ... is another stunning display of arrogance and cruelty." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
