My blood is still boiling from Trump's remarks on Thursday.
For the record, between 2001 - 20014, 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces personnel served in Afghanistan, mainly in Khandahar. Below is a bio of one of our lost soldiers👇

We no longer discuss Putin’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine. We no longer discuss Trump’s refusal to follow the law and release the Epstein files. We never discuss global climate change. So…just a reminder…those are news stories, too.

At a time when ICE is rounding up 5-year-olds, terrorizing communities and killing American citizens, the last thing we should be doing is increasing its funding.
I will vote NO on the upcoming spending bill to fund Trump's domestic army.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

"In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".
