Because they're not trying to kick *them out?

If they were, one of the first to go would have to be DJT.

No kidding.

Doug's a plodder, a plotter, a cunning crook and a dangerous enemy.

Ppl keep underestimating him.

We underestimate his ilk at our peril.

We need additions to oaths of office or contract with the crown with words like 'never lie to Canadians and my colleagues by omission, commission, exaggeration, deprecation, misdirection (insert more here) and 'I understand that if I lie my riding will go to a by-election that my party can't run in.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Sometimes it takes a chance encounter to make you remember why you fight so hard for this idea called Canada.
Six brave young teens from Afghanistan reminded me of the need to fight the hate that is oozing over the border.
Here is my latest.

I maintain that his real strategists are in NYC and he's paying for them with quid pro quo to oligarchs.

They know that people are easily manipulated and how to do it.

Gotta wonder if fingerprints can be lifted from those objects and whether or not those prints can be used as evidence in prosecutions.

Mine too but then I was small.

The biggest in our neighbourhood were dad height.

A teen cousin had a knack for team building and off the cuff engineering. Her snowmen were a bit like impromptu barn raising parties. If there wasn't enough snow, she'd have kids haul it in from their smaller lots.

Flattery to a purpose.

What a courtier or a high level cult member would say to curry favour of and steer the attention and/or will of a King or cult leader.

I think about itt as an evolution.

Reagan and Bush were evolutionary milestones on the road to Trump.

Petition to keep Alberta in Canada is really close to collecting enough signatures, but we need to have a “comfort margin” in case some signatures get rejected.

PLEASE, continue signing the #ForeverCanadian petition!!!
