Thanks for the quick response.

It's really quite simple, quickly add a new Nobel category, "Piece of Sh*t Prize." Trump and his ignorant followers won't know the difference.

Perhaps, but Goebbels wasn't quite so ugly, greasy looking or dumb.

I prefer the simpler explanation, he's a mentally ill psychopath.

I hear you. I don't care who blocks me either, but as a guy formerly on the IT periphery, I must admit that I do find the who's, what's & why's of social media fascinating...

...and sometimes scary! 🫣😉😂

Keep embarrassing Canada and real Canadians sharing a province with you, Alberta high school dropouts! You're doing a great job! 👍

I checked to see if it was some sort of a glitch but found you are indeed blocked by them. Found a few others I wonder about. Hey, @blueskytracker.app, can you please explain your blocks? Thx

I've posted B4 what a great tool the @blueskytracker.app is & the interesting info it reveals. Give it a try! I'm perplexed by the high suspended acct numbers for my followers. I also find it curious that some users frequently disable & re-enable their accts - sometimes daily. Does anyone know why?

The Liberals splitting the border bill in two & giving Canadians adequate time to consider & weigh in on the parts of the bill that appear to undermine the privacy of Canadian citizens, is the right thing to do. Unlike the CPC or Alberta UCP, the LPC actually listens to the concerns of constituents.

Love Americans again? Personally, I will never love, forgive or forget the 77M Americans who voted for Trump & caused this brutal bullsh*t. Nor will I love, forgive or forget the 89M American nonvoters who enabled it with their indifference. I guess that leaves about 176M Americans I can still love.

Americans maybe, but love for Trump and his regime- NEVER!

President Donald Trump said he's working on a trade deal with Prime Minister Mark Carney that he believes will be well-received by Canadians, telling reporters assembled for their bilateral meeting in the Oval Office that the people "will love us again."

NOPE, NOT A CHANCE IN HELL THAT'LL HAPPEN!

Eby said Tuesday that "it's not the Danielle Smith show, it's the Canadian team," adding "there's nothing more Canadian than fairness."

Unfortunately, Dani and her Maple MAGA supporters wouldn't know "fairness" or what it means to be a Canadian first & foremost if it bit them in the ass.

I can't imagine the amount of soap and hot water required for Carney to wash off the orange stench after meeting with Trump. Thanks to our PM for the sacrifices he makes on behalf of Canadians.
