Please help me understand
Blocking Bill C-5 in the name of process could cost Canada the whole game. You can’t defend sovereignty without an economy to stand on. Yes to reconciliation, but is it at the expense of national survival. We need BOTH justice and speed, or we lose everything.

Poor optics to attend a White House that officially has trolled the World with Trump pictured as Pope. No gravitas.

Between 1883 and 1929, Andrew Carnegie, effectively a billionaire, built over 1,600 libraries across the U.S., giving back to the country that made him rich.
Fast forward to today, and a spray-tanned grifter worth supposedly billions is gutting libraries for fun.

Trump has announced an additional 25% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum effective Wednesday. Ontario Premier Ford has indicated the complete cut-off of Ontario electricity supply to Minnesota, Michigan and New York if US tariffs were to increase. Look for that Wed-Fri

The foreign policy of a nation often reflects its leader. Our foreign policy is now churlish, acquisitive, brutish, impulsive, reckless, callous, boorish, expansionist, shallow, ignorant, exploitive, nasty, dishonest, manipulative, corrupt and unethical. A reflection of our president.
