As they say... a picture is worth a thousand words. Canada can do better but USA? Unacceptable from the so-called "greatest country in the world". No, we do not want to be the 51st state under any circumstances.

Apparently Canadians are not impressed. Google hastily slammed the door on comments/responses. Turns out we're not so "nice" after all. Ya, we are not amused by attempts to co-opt our sovereignty one insult at a time. We have provinces not states. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Interesting what Facebook chooses to censor. Satire is not allowed but you're free to run wild with blatant lies & propaganda. Go figure. Great to be on Bluesky. Sigh.

I copied and pasted this on Facebook with the following text.Found this on Bluesky. Thanks Barack Obama we miss you. Sanity has left the building and lies drowning somewhere in the gulf IN America 😑

Edit: Fact checkers claim that Obama didn't post this but then I could post it anyway. Sort of.

Here's how I feel right now @ianhanomansing.bsky.social What tRump the disgusting and evil orange pig can do to himself as he is revolting to most people including his wife. We are a sovereign nation. So is Ukraine. Next question? Can we move on now? His designs on other countries is evil.

My answer to tRump and to the question. For shame @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social

That is the truth. My parents lived through Nazi occupation in the Netherlands. I have photos my father took on Liberation Day. May 5 1945. This is me in the Netherlands some years back at Liberation Day commemorations with 2 members if Canadian Legion. The Dutch never forget Cdn. sacrifices for us💗

If people are upset with your post @mcuban.bsky.social it's because Zelensky & Ukraine just got totally betrayed by tRump.They are fighting for their lives. Their sovereignty. Their democracy & ours. We stand for freedom with Ukraine.Europe.Canada.Greenland.Panama.Gaza. & Americans fighting back.

Here is the piece plan of the mastermind war criminal and the Manchurian candidate - U.S. felon in chief. The art of the steal. Power and control is what it's all about. We all need to be very very concerned.

And more recently my granddaghter participated in a Heritage stamp project for school. This is what she created which is deeply moving for me personally. She loves and takes pride in her Dutch Canadian heritage... she was 11 years old when she did this. I couldn't be more proud and amazed! 💞 🇨🇦🇪🇬

My father took pictures on that day outside the grocery store he managed with my mother... This is my oldest brother Bill as a child smiling for the camera oblivious to the Cdn. tank and laughing soldiers. These photos mean the world to me. 2/3

Canada has less than zero interest in an American hostile takeover. Why? Let's just say. No effing way! Lots of great reasons include:
In 2022, the homicide rate in the U.S. was 6.3 per 100,000 people, while Canada's was 2.27. plus your felon & elon in the White House. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 forever strong & free!

I think this is a revealing graphic. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

6 of 1, half dozen of the other. What matters is that the tear down of democracy is under way.

While in line to pay for my purchases, I spotted this in the magazine rack. While we all know that the Enquirer is a trashy tabloid, I still managed to be aghast at the headline "Trump's War On Terror!" WTF... it's Trump's Reign of Terror and he's just getting started. No guardrails left.

I mentioned pharisees of old and far right christians who are here and now. The people in America who want a theocratic christian state. I should not be your target. Seriously.
