🍁 A True North View 🍁
@atruenorthview.bsky.social
How things look through my Canadian eyes. My view today may change tomorrow as I listen, talk, learn, and the world moves along. I'm open minded that way. Beliefs and facts are different things, and I never mistake the former for the latter.

Climate & Post Truth loom. Life's too short not to live it as a Canadian, but we face storms on our horizon-many from strong south winds. Those south in their tempest don't peep over the walls often to see the globe & their gale's impact. The world's in tumult. I'll share my takes & listen to yours.
Poilievre's learned nil from election losses & party defections-his "leadership" style won't change. Big Surprise, but the media focuses on that. On the Budget he'd cut individual & corporate taxes & slash the deficit-but no hard journalists' questions on what such a PP budget could actually fund.

US People need to be sat down to watch the damage being done in their name to Canadian businesses & Canadian families. Algoma Steel is just one single example. US People are indifferent to the impact their betrayal of their former closest friend & ally is having & are doing nothing to stop it.

The most frustrating thing about World Series 2025 game 3 is that it would have been a Blue Jays win in 9 innings if the Umpire hadn't incorrectly called the fourth ball of Daulton Varsho's first at bat a strike.

I don't gamble & have never used one of these newfangled betting apps, but is there a way I can lay down some serious cash on a bet that neither the Dodgers nor the Blue Jays want to travel into the US to continue the World Series?

Canada is the only serious party in US talks. Negotiation is give & take-Canada gives major concessions (e.g. killing Digital Services Tax) & US has done nothing but impose & raise unjustified illegal tariffs on Canada it has no intention to remove or lower. Canada acts in good faith. US bullies.

The Mad King will destroy the lives of thousands of Canadian families because his feelings got hurt when he heard the truth from Ronald Reagan in an ad from Ontario (not Canada). And US People still sit idly by, letting 1 single person lay waste to the relationship with their former closest ally.

I really pity US People watching the Blue Jays on Fox, with commentary from people who haven't seen the team at all this season & are getting so much incorrect about the Jays, Jays Fans & Canada. They need a strong dose of Dan, Buck, Hazel, Kevin, Caleb, Jamie, Madison, Joe, Shi, Ben & Arden.

Reality: "No Kings" is a venting social, impotent as "we should" & "someone must" social media posts. Marching on Mad King's golf day impacts nothing. Study real resistances that defeated autocracy. Most angry US People's lives aren't affected enough to risk serious effort. Soon it will be too late.

Toronto Blue Jays fans & Seattle Mariner fans always have good mutual respect & get along great at games together. It's the healthiest rivalry in baseball, between teams that started out together. But the Seattle crowd that booed injured George Springer last night are not fans & had no class.

Precisely - US People schedule their protests for days when their Mad King is off golfing instead of disrupting things from functioning until there is a change. Lots of examples US People can learn from. When will US People get serious? The time when it will be too late is fast approaching.

US People are easily lured to focus on what their US-bubble news pays most attention. For 2 weeks their posts are absorbed with assassination, a late night show & now Tylenol.
What should really terrify them & occupy thought is US military following illegal orders to commit extrajudicial murder.

I get US People worry over muzzling free speech & they're not much interested in humanity outside their US bubble, but it seems there isn't enough attention on their Mad King's extrajudicial murder of 3 boatloads of alleged drug smuggling people. Guilty or not, there's no death penalty for that.

🇨🇦 TV networks broadcast all US late shows @ same time as US. If a US ntwk doesn't put out a show, 🇨🇦 TV puts on something else-so no Kimmel in 🇨🇦 last night either. 🇨🇦 ntwks would show Kimmel/Colbert etc if available.
Simple solution-move production to the free nation of Canada. US ppl could stream.

Another thing US People are lying down for: US government extrajudicial murder of non-US alleged drug smugglers. Capital punishment is not a legal sentence for drug smuggling in the US or Venezuela. Why this isn't ringing the loudest of alarm bells is very telling about where the US is going.
