RFK Jr should not be recommending steroids or antibiotics for measles - a virus. He is not a doctor. Don’t listen to his garbage. Get your advice from doctors & get kids vaccinated.

Trudeau Grimly Warns the World That Trump Can No Longer Be Trusted.

Trump’s trade war isn’t just about tariffs—it’s about breaking America’s alliances. Canada, Europe, and Ukraine are all warning that the U.S. is shifting toward Russia. The question is: why?

Donald Trump has made it clear.

This isn’t about the border.

It’s not about a trade deficit.

It’s about making Canada the 51st state.

This is a threat to our sovereignty.

Canadians will stand strong.

We will not surrender our water, our health care, our values to Donald Trump.

He will “fully impose” banking & financial sanctions, travel ban & revoke visas
