At this time of year, it's hunting season in rural Ontario. I think it's either moose, bear, or vegetarian/vegan hunting right now.

With a Donald Trump fascist régime increasing, expect Americans to start thinking emigration. They will move to Canada, Europe, and other places in the world. The best and brightest will leave.

No, no, no! Obama didn't stop 9/11. 🤪

"Don't forget Obama not stopping 9/11." That is what MAGA would say.

The H-2A immigration program is being changed to lower the minimum wage for legal farm workers. These workers will not be able to freelance their offers to work for higher wages. The H-2A program will become legalized slavery under Donald Trump.

It seems like Trump wants to get rid of undocumented workers and make them into slave laborers that will be forced to work for lower wages.

When Donald Trump first ran for the Republican presidential nomination, he pinged off his opponents one-by-one. Gradually, his opponents left the nomination race and eventually supported him. Trump cannot deal with more than one person or country at a time.

One think Donald Trump likes to do is deal one-on-one. He does not like multilateral negotiations. Canada should not fall into the trap of re-negotiating CUSMA without the presence of Mexico. We will lose. #cdnpoli

Carney says renegotiating CUSMA likely won’t resolve all trade issues with U.S.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says it’s clear the U.S. will keep targeting certain sectors with tariffs even after the renegotiation of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade.

The current Estonia-Russia boundary was created by the former Soviet Union when it annexed Estonia along with Latvia and Lithuania. The Saatse Boot was created by the Soviet Union's "adjustment" of the boundary between Estonia and Russia.

Estonian land taken by Russia after 1945:

Estonian land just east of Narva was annexed by Russia as part of the Soviet Union. The former Estonian city of Petseri (Pechory) was also transferred to the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic. The Saatse Boot was created when the boundary between Estonia and Russia was modified by the former Soviet Union.

The problem is that if an Estonian were to drive along that road through Russia, the Russian military can stop that person and kidnap him/her.

When Estonia became a sovereign state in the early 1990s, Russia agreed to allow Estonians to cross the Saatse Boot without hinderance/border controls as this road did not connect with the rest of Russia. The Russian military can walk through their forest to get to this road. 2/

When Estonia was controlled by the Soviet Union, its Soviet republic borders were modified giving some territory to the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic. There were no formal border controls between the Soviet republics. Estonians crossed the Saatse Boot on what was considered a domestic road. 1/

It was my former hood. I used to live in the tall apartment building on Raglan. My apartment unit faced Forest Hill. I used to tell everyone that I lived in West Forest Hill.

Is that St. Clair West opposite Raglan Ave?

Starve those in need. Provide new programs and services to those who show loyalty to Donald Trump.

Estonia needs to build some roads around the Saatse Boot.
