This is how the world views the US.

Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."

Please take a minute to watch this. This is who we are as a nation.
Our ancestors fought for the freedom of others.
Today we fight for the values of our land and people.
Canadians don't run.
We never have.
True. North. Strong. Free.

Message to the grifter king from Canada:
"We will have no parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst and we will do our best. We do not expect to hit without being hit back, and we intend with every week that passes to hit harder."

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre spent Monday evening at his $1,750-per-plate fundraiser hosted at a mansion so large it has its own postal code.

Oh, and the guy who owns that place?

Yeah, looks like he profits from privatized healthcare facilities in the United States.

Let's talk about it:
Pierre Poilievre's lavish evening with a private healthcare profiteer? Uh oh

This is everything you need to know about Poilievre.
He is their guy on the inside.
I will never ever vote on anything brought forward by this man.
He is fundamentally unfit for public office.

Intentional disinformation right out of the mouth of the owner of the LA Times. Not surprised in the slightest. The media oligarchy are going to put it all out there.
Every. Single. Lie.
As they busily crush the careers & employment of journalists who carried their heavy water for years.
You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That is a lie.

The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

So when are we gonna fight for our healthcare system that is being chronically underfunded to bring in a parallel private system? We see what Americans go through with health insurance which produces tiered inferior care. Is that what you want for this country?

Illegal MAGA USian caught in Canada's Whistler, B.C. after fleeing the US to hide after partaking in the 2020 Jan. 6 terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol.

He tried to claim asylum and says Trump is "a man of his word." and claims "Canada is being unfair." The US isn't sending its best.

We're all so conflict-ready. It's hard to turn off. Just now, someone tried to provoke me in a silly way, and I had to remind myself that a stranger's emptiness and bad opinions weren't my concern. Was this a worthy conflict? Of course not.

While Trump threatens to invade Canada and his MAGA movement bullies and harasses Canadians and other US allies, Canadians are busy saving USians from burning alive.

When a liberal area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “God is punishing them.”

When a conservative area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “Democrats control weather machines.”

“The vast majority of Canadians are pro-choice, support gun bans and believe climate change exists. Despite what Pierre Poilievre and Jordan Peterson think, Canadians also acknowledge systemic racism.”
