As I listen to the latest regarding Trump's 'solution' to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I'm outraged for Ukraine. What would happen if Russia landed troops, etc. on US soil and proceeded to drop bombs on US cities? Russia is the aggressor. Trump needs to aim his threats at Russia, not Ukraine.

Congratulations to PM Mark Carney for winning the crucial vote today! And to Elizabeth May for realizing how important it is for the government to continue building on what is just the start of working toward Canada's self sufficiency and supporting it! She's one of the smartest people in politics.

Trump's automatic go-tos when he's done something illegal or been fairly beaten:
It's rigged. We won by the biggest margin in world history;
Fake news. Fire that person immediately.
Deploying our military against our own people to fight crime;
Dr. says I'm the smartest, fittest person in the world.

Don't think there's anyone connected to Trump's administration who is not corrupt.

As Trump gears up to start a war so he can call off any future elections, I believe these quotes from a US classic to be true & timely. Vonnegut's 14 satirical novels are classics of the American counterculture. They particularly resonated with the US antiwar sentiment during the Vietnam War era.

Simple question. America, why do you continue to let a corrupt criminal continue to 'govern' you? Inciting an insurrection, Insider trading, taking bribes, selling people into slavery (deportations)-it's all there. Shared by his administration. Paedophilia is just one of Trump's criminal acts.

Reading about the corruption and criminal acts being committed by Trump, his admin, and supposed law enforcement makes breathing difficult. Bombs might not be falling but war is being perpetrated on American's by their own gov't. ❤️goes out to all you Americans continuing to fight for what's right.

I'm with all Americans fighting to restore Democracy and decency to your government, and for anyone who holds those committing the atrocities & terrorist acts sparked by your gov't accountable. Have to say though, at the moment, on balance, it still feels like your country fits this description.

dt's kind of 'proof' for his claims. Yup, a piece of paper restating what he wrote because, you know, if he said it, it must be true.

Congressman Joseph Neguse serving as the U.S. representative for Colorado's 2nd district put the Government Shutdown into perfect perspective. His statement here should resonate with American's from all walks of life.

Congratulations Los Angeles Dodgers! Heartbreaking loss for us, but so well fought and well-deserved win for you. For the duration of the series, Canadians across the country were pulled together with cheers and tears for the Jays. I hope your team did the same for you, America. Well done all!

Trumpers know full well what they're causing ordinary people with their greed and power grab. I, like millions of Canadians, am praying ordinary US citizens get your power back, and the unlawful hounding & detention of innocent people is stopped.

One of the actual dropping prices your president and his handlers have made happen. Of course, they'll all buy the low-priced stocks because they know their next move will hike the prices and they'll make another bundle. All for the non-benefit of ordinary Americans of course.

A friend said my art could be a cover for a futuristic novel. I'd write one, but I'd want it to be filled with possibility for a united world. Doesn't seem possible right now. Re US politics-it isn't your demented pres. running your country. It's the highly intelligent & evil oligarchs running him.

Q: Are you upset at Premier Ford for running this ad?
CARNEY: In any complicated, high-stakes negotiation, you can get unexpected twists and turns, and you have to keep your cool during those situations. It doesn't pay to be upset—emotions don't carry you very far.

What a class act our Prime Minister is! His team experienced, knowledgeable, and able to act positively. His plans for trade and building relationships laid out at the ASEAN Summit. "We dare to dream. We care to share." Lines taken to heart by Canadians everywhere. No wonder Trump hates Mr. Carney.
