Canadian woman charged with illegally crossing into U.S., kicking border agent’s face

I'm torn.

On the one hand, why the F are you going to the U.S.?

On the other hand, kicking a U.S. border agent in the face gets my admiration.

Unironically - Bloomberg pens a price showing the parallels between Maduro's Venezuala and Trump's U.S MAGA nation - where there is a far greater need for regime change.

The USA is a rabid dog.

Mark Carney and the Liberal government are an international embarrassment.

Carney joins Pierre Poilievre in congratulating the U.S. illegal act of war.

But, I'm impressed that Carney can both suck and blow when dealing with Trump.

Elon Musk’s Pornography Machine

On X, sexual harassment and even child abuse are the latest memes.

Canadian regulators don't seem to care that X is a nazi playground - maybe they'll finally care because it's a pedophile playground.

Trump specifically targets Columbia, Cuba and Mexico in his war mongering rhetoric.

Pierre Poilievre applauds the U.S. illegal invasion and capture of a sovereign nations leader.

It seems PP would have applauded Hitler and is full MAGA.

This is a dangerous and irresponsible response.

Cheering the illegal abduction of a foreign head of state and celebrating U.S. control over another country is wrong.

Canada cannot pick & choose when international law applies. If the rules only matter when it’s convenient, they don’t protect anyone

Venezuela now, because he wants the oil.

He wants the oil under Greenland too. And under Canada. He's openly called for them to be part of the USA.

How long before he decides to bomb a couple of NATO members to get his own way?

The USA is a rogue nation.

Canada needs to take see the invasion of Venezuela for what it is - a deliberate attack on the international rules based order. We have a bandit nation on our border and we need to be ready for whatever comes next.

IMO this is a trial balloon to do likewise to Canada and Greenland.

According to the article, the complaints are running through France’s digital affairs office — no Canadian equivalent — involving complaints from their Industry, AI and equity ministers. In Canada the first two are AI cheerleaders, and Carney’s cut the Women and Gender Equality ministry.
Not surprised Europe is first. Hoping Canada will follow: French authorities will investigate the proliferation of sexually explicit deepfakes generated by artificial intelligence platform Grok on X, the Paris prosecutor's office told Politico. www.politico.eu/article/fran...
