I don't need everyone to agree with me. I don't want people who are different from me to be alienated/singled out/attacked. I don't want people to beg, or go broke to be warm/fed/safe/healthy.
I was raised with these values, they are who I am.
How did Conservatives miss this growing up in Canada?

Nothing, and I mean absolutely zero has changed about Tr**p. He’s as much of an extortionist and a racist gas bag as he was in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and now. 60 years of this asshole. Yet, America can’t get f**ked hard enough to realize they’re the patsy in the biggest grift in human history.

West Bank, Warsaw, Wounded Knee, Trail of Tears… a grand tradition of violent racism.

Like all the separatists of his generation, Legault refuses to accept or respect the democratic will of ALL the people of Quebec. No one asked for this and nobody wants a constitutional showdown with Ottawa.
Quebec will be swallowed whole by Tr**p. Salut, Frank!

CBC News is desperately trying to give this guy an opportunity to change his tune, to stay relevant. But, with zero irony he calls Carney a loser. He’s giving his same old cornball and big oil campaign speech. Exhausted and exhausting. #CDNpoli

Tr**p said he would install this idiot. Americans voted for this guy. They voted for a Congress that would approve him. They will vote to keep him there. Americans are on their own. There will be deaths. It’s horrible. But, it was foretold, like a Greek tragedy.

And slaughtering another 112 people in Gaza. Hell of a party. 💀

Transformative is not necessarily a compliment. The asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs was “transformative”. Untwist your panties. Breathe.
Tr**p isn’t going anywhere for the next 3+ years. We gotta deal with the toddler on his level.

Doug Ford has already dumped this on Ottawa. It’s shameless and disgusting. But, he will be happy to walk away and let the beluga whales die. He’d consider it a win for his government. That’s how Ontario is now. That’s what Ontario voted for.

Greta Thunberg is not in the Epstein files, but Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Donald Trump are.

It was either incompetency or complicity. Sanchez looked totally unprepared. Either way, CNN clearly abandoned its basic journalistic principles years ago. Now, they’re just trying not to get targeted by Tr**p et al.

Mine too.

And good ol Boris Sanchez just stared at him slack jawed. There was ZERO push back on any of the stream of NAZI shit emanating from the large hole in Miller’s head. Disgraceful.

Argentina got $20 billion for their farmers, who are in direct competition with US farmers who are going to go broke this year. That’s sort of a deal.

This government has defined Alberta as the Official Opposition Party to Ottawa, while Canadians in Alberta get worst provincial services.

Generals & Admirals, & their respective staff watched this. They’re not stupid, uneducated or easily fooled. They’re in many cases very aware of history. They’re career professional serious minded leaders with proven records of valour with a highly tuned sense to duty. How will they serve an idiot?

ICE is recruiting for Abu Ghraib level cruelty.

Lynndie England forcing an inmate, known to the guards as "Gus", to crawl and bark like a dog on a leash. England is holding a leash attached to a prisoner collapsed on the floor, U.S. Army / Criminal Investigation Command (CID). Seized by the U.S. Government.

I guess we’re about to find out.

No due process, you say?

Welcome to the resistance.

The military, by definition, only trains to employ full force. Their deployment is enough to allow them to kill US citizen. His “authorization” encourages them to kill US citizens.
There are laws against this. But, the laws mean nothing now.

Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists. I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Instead they blamed organized labour, the working people. They encouraged shaming them a living wage at a single job, and let the country think they’re broke, instead of defending proud workers providing an essential service that unites Canada.
Now it’s just another Bezos job in a gig economy.

Don Anderson @donniebeenz.bsky.social · 16d

It’s tempting to be envious of unionized workers for appearing to have more. But, it must be understood that accusing other workers, in other industries of having / getting more than you, especially during a labour dispute, is both the hammer and the wedge management uses to break solidarity.
