FM of Lithuania makes a very good point that I’ve been repeating for over a year: it’s not only about Ukraine, Putin is set to dismantle NATO.

Trump's absence is a great opportunity for the rest of the planet to broker deals and make connections without the orange bully and his fascist like America sucking up all the oxygen.

The world is fundamentally shifting — and Canada has a generational opportunity to build a stronger, more prosperous, and more sustainable future. I’m here to meet with global leaders who want to build that future with us.

Who is so dumb that they didn't see this from the start?

“And, in fact, I did no such thing.

“I would note that the report didn’t even say it was AHS who destroyed them, only that they had ‘been destroyed”

Smith apparently caught in another lie after the former AHS CEO calls her out!

Do me a favor and forward this post.This needs to get out to everyone. We need to be unified.
Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

Ukrainians truly need this right now — even if as a sign of solidarity. And constant, stubborn solidarity goes a long way.

US Congress voted 285–98 to condemn "socialism." 88 Democrats joined Republicans, including Hakeem Jeffries.

What they mean by socialism is your access to healthcare, housing, safety regulations, and anything that benefits you instead of the oligarchy. There has been no vote to condemn fascism. #3E

Alaberta Smith is claiming:
•Judges aren’t elected, so they don’t have legitimacy.
•Courts “overstep” when they disagree with her.
•The notwithstanding clause is her tool to override “incorrect” court decisions.
•SHE gets to decide what is “correct,” not constitutional law.

The most tone deaf and hypocritical statement you wouldn’t believe until you actually saw it.

You cannot recognize a day of mourning when your government’s anti-trans discriminatory legislation is causing the incredible harm.

The duplicitous double speak is so Orwellian.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

"This government & the premier ran on a public health guarantee. They did not run on any of the things they’ve been doing since then. None of this was in their platform. None of this was discussed with the public.”

Albertans deserve timely, quality public health care, not privatization by stealth!
