Why MAGA's Response to Canada's Wildfires is Infuriating

Recent hypocrisy has reminded me why, as a Canadian, I'm not a us resistor or sympathizer. If you found me through someone's 'starter pack', let them know they fucked up.
Or better yet, let me know who they are, this deserves the personal touch.
I take america, personally.

I met Ken Dryden when he came out to support his parents, Murray & Margaret Dryden, who had raised millions of $$$ for Sleeping Children Around the World, an NFP providing bed kits for kids. It’s not hard to understand why Ken Dryden was such a good person. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Ken Dryden was the antithesis of everything Don Cherry stood for. And unlike Cherry, he actually won at the highest levels. He was an intellectual, an author, a politician. I was lucky enough to meet him in 2006. Unlike Gretzky, he never sold his country out. RIP. A true icon who was one of a kind.

So are their single decker buses.
They are all powered by fuel cells made by Canadian Ballard.
"The single deck buses, which have been running since last autumn, can operate for 600 miles (965km) before need refuelling, SCC said."

I'm sure it's clear by now, this is something many women go through regularly. Most people turn away. Please, people who "notice" this, call the cops to report, even if the attack seems 'no big deal' or is over. Take plate numbers. Women need your support.

They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care.
This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.

Especially since you’re the reason that so many people are hungry and homeless.
