It's time to consider closing the border to Americans.

Yes, it would hurt Canada's tourist industry, but allowing Americans to come here when they no longer have disease control is a massive threat to the health of Canadians.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

You may not be aware that she's a right wing fascist. She's aligned with Trump, Milei, Netanyahu, and Bukele.

Maduro may have stole the election. She wants other fascists to help her commit a coup. So yeah, not so pro democracy.

Politics in Latin America is complicated.

Imagine if more Americans took such initiative...

You might, ya know, collectively topple the fascist regime.

Oh, sorry, baseball is on. My mistake.

Canadians when Canada plays like dog shit:

"This is the worst performance ever, worse than 1-8 in Honduras!"

Americans when USA is playing like dog shit:

"The score isn't representative of our immense talent and the future will bring us the glory we deserve. Obviously."

Yes, just like misguided Americans, Argentinos voted for a fascist, thinking that he'd be different and would fix the problems.

Except fascists only ever make things worse, of course.

And like US Republicans, Milei is a fascist. They tend to flock together.

A fascist who was just awarded the Nobel Peace Prize wants a fascist with the largest military in the Americas to attack her country to overthrow an authoritarian.

There are no good guys in this story.

Venezuela has called on the UN Security Council for an emergency session over the US military buildup near its waters.

Caracas warned of a possible armed attack “in a very short time.”

Carney has done a lot of terrible thus far as Prime Minister. He's a fiscal conservative, which is not aligned with the beliefs of a majority of Canadians, who are mostly liberals and social democrats.

It's just that the US has set the bar sooo low that he looks like a saint in comparison to Trump.

Shameful to see you publish this nonsense.

She is a right wing conservative who is aligned with Trump. She isn't defending democracy, she wants power so she can be an autocrat.

This is the type of article that would be expected from Postmedia. Do better.

It's tragic the housing ripple effect Toronto & Vancouver have caused.

If Toronto had properly planned its city in the past 25 years, people wouldn't have been forced to move to Kitchener or Moncton or Halifax.

And prices in those cities wouldn't have ballooned.

Which is one big reason why they’re not currently selling. And why we should be questioning the tax assessment valuations placed on them.

Argentina is a failed state run by a fascist.

Of course Trump is going to be aligned with such a country. That's what he knows: bankruptcy and fascism.

News from the Authoritarians Club: the US Treasury has finalised a $20 billion currency swap with Argentina and directly bought Argentine pesos to help stabilise the country’s economy.

For those who aren't aware, Maria Corina Machado isn't fighting for democracy. As a right wing conservative who is aligned with Trump, she just wants to be in power so she can do the fascism.

Bizarre decision by the Nobel committee.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

If anti-fascism wasn't a philosophy, but an actual person or group, that would be a brilliant decision.

In a democracy, this would matter.

Unfortunately, the US is no longer a democracy... 🤷🏽‍♂️

If this is what you have to tell yourself to get through the day, fair enough. Protect your mental health.

But...

It's simply not true the Trump regime is weak.

Americans, you live in a fascist country now. That's your terrible reality. The sooner you accept it, the sooner you can fight back.
