They kidnapped the head of a Latin American country, replaced him with an insecure white racist who has spent his entire life arguing that Latinos are subhuman, and made clear that their primary aim is to plunder the country for its resources.
If it isn't yet clear, yes, we're the fucking baddies.

Per WASH POST, Stephen Miller will play an “elevated role” in Venezuela (what could go wrong!) and Machado won’t be president because she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize Trump wants (yes, seriously)

🔴 I'll say it till I'm blue in the face: the mental underling, Poilievre, is severely UNFIT to be Prime Minister of a great country such as Canada. 🤷🏻♂️
Fortunately, Canadian voters know it too.

The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned US action against Venezuela, saying the attacks “represent an unacceptable violation of the sovereignty of an independent state, the respect for which is a fundamental principle of international law”.

US refineries are built to process heavy crude of the type only found in Canada & Venezuela.
The plan here is all part of Trump's ongoing bid to destroy the Canadian economy & force us to submit to annexation & being a vassal state.

The only good war story of 2025 was that time a bunch of Ukrainian drones blew up all of Russia's airbases. It checked everything I ask for in a story:
1. no actual human death,
2. Michael Bay-style explosions,
3. Looney Tunes tricks to blow up $8 billion worth of military tech with toy helicopters

Mamdani‘s been mayor for a day. Already I have a terrible headache, my apartment is a mess, my kids are estranged from me, and I feel increasingly alienated from a cold and unfeeling society that doesn’t recognize how right I am about everything. I told you so.

Welcome back to Canada, President Zelenskyy.
Today in Halifax, we committed critical new support to help Ukraine end Russia’s war of aggression, and to recover and rebuild. When peace comes — and it will come — Canada will be there for the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

This picture highlights why the pews are emptying.
It’s hypocrisy.
You cannot deny anymore that American “Christianity” worships power and not God.
And don’t give me “he’s an imperfect vessel.”
Imperfect vessels repent and are changed by a moral epiphany.
