The United States is conditioned to reject external ideas or international law in order to protect the illegal actions committed by its government. Traditionally the US is known for its extensive acts against humanity the world over, something that until recently didn’t affect “We The People.”

The hijacking of the press conferences by right wing propagandists, at the leaders debates, tells you all you need to know about electing Poilievre.

He's already promised to limit access to legitimate news by defunding #CBC but is happy to answer Rebel Media questions.

With dream comfort memory to spare
And in my mind I still need a place to go
All my changes were there”.

CBC is public media—owned by Canadians, not the government.

If it were propaganda, Poilievre wouldn’t want to kill it—he’d want to use it.

CBC holds power to account. That’s why they fear it.

If the US tried to annex Canada, it would be an unmitigated disaster. It would require a massive occupation force costing billions/trillion. Cause an American civil war. Turn the world against the United States, ending its reign as a super power…

It didn’t work in 1812, it won’t work now.
Attempting to annex Canada would spell disaster for the U.S. at home and abroad
Canadians would never passively accept the loss of their national identity — any forced integration would be violently opposed and quickly devolve into a nightmare scenario for both nations.

If the same psychology types are selling/buying all of

a) anti-vax

b) Trump tariffs

c) Russian propaganda on Ukraine

and

d) cryptocurrency

... that adds up to a warning surely that the sellers are charlatans and the buyers are fools?

You ignorant bully. Respect is earned.

Many Americans are scared right now. Canadians have potentially even more to lose, if Canada shifts dramatically to the right healthcare, quality of life (by several measures) , gun control (US had 330 school shootings in 2024) will become distant memories.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

Gazans returning home. To call this heartbreaking is an offensive understatement. I didn't initially believe it in late 2023, but the evidence is now unmistakable that this is a genocide-in-progress. Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal; he and many of his co-conspirators must be tried at the Hague.

The first time I was accused of being "ANTIFA" I didn't know the term.
I called my daughter.
She said, "It means anti-fascist."
Hell ya.
I come from a long and proud line of ANTIFA.
