It is clear to anyone with a brain that someone in an inflatable frog costume cannot pose the requisite threat required for an official to deploy a chemical agent into the costume's air intake fan. This is excessive force and fascism.

What would you expect from PoiLIEvre & failed leader Andy Sneer, mocking a letter from a 7th Grader's letter thanking MPs for supporting Canada’s national school lunch program.
PoiLIEvre himself voted against that program.
He opposed it & then mocked a child who simply said thank you for it.

I do not feel like the American public has the humility or disposition to atone for the sins this administration is committing - given that we have failed at reconstruction & desegregation.

But there are too many people “just following orders” that they know are wrong, I don’t know how we move on.

I had many nick names, including “Landslide Lukaszuk”, but “Captain Canada” will take a while to get used to.😃

This gentleman just gave me that new nickname and presented me with my own key to Canada.

Thank you, Sir!

What is Constitutional?

It's NOT what the Constitution says is Constitutional.

It's what at least 5 Supreme Court Justices SAY is Constitutional.

The Left has focused on the document. The Right has focused on bending the Justices.

Keep in mind that ICE now has a budget larger than every military in the world except the US and Chinese militaries.

Things are going to get much worse. I'm not saying this to create fear, it's fact.

The administration is at war with Americans.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

US Distilled Spirits Council analysis of Canada’s boycott of US alcohol does not make reference to the US’s threats of aggression to economically destroy and annex Canada. This was the major impetus for the boycott of US goods and services.

Guys… I know Trump likes to pretend he’s a tin-pot dictator, but you could just say “threatening Canadian sovereignty has been very bad for our export business.”

It’s true, and I think a lot more of us have to start telling the truth down here.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

Another journalist is forced to the ground and arrested by ICE in Chicago. Her name is Debbie Brockman from WGN-TV.

ICE put a photojournalist in NYC in the hospital.

They’re attacking the press.

They’re attacking immigrants.

They’re attacking citizens.

No one is safe.
