The UN arose after the defeat of the NAZIs. The US is in legal breach of article 1. Time for them to lose their seat on the Security council and face international sanctions. The UN should also move to some place like Iceland or Ecuador.

Supporting Canadian should also extend to the media we consume.
Postmedia is majority owned by a Republican-connected US hedge fund thanks to legislation the Conservatives pushed through AFTER they lost in 2015. It was a Republican takeover of Canadian media.

We have proudly defended the freedoms of other countries so you best believe we will do the same for our own sovereign nation.
Juno Beach, June 6, 1944.
When Americans and Brits were still struggling in the water, young Canadians were clearing the Nazis out of Normandy.
This is who we are.
We wouldn't sell out our country or any other nation to thugs.
Go ask the people of Normandy.
They will tell you what Canada means.
