Never saw a tyrant he didn't love, this slimy creep.
I'd love to see empty stadiums in the US during the world cup just to see the face of this Trump boot licker.

To my fellow Canadians, there was a time when Americans believed that what is happening in the US could never happen in the US. And here we are.
Please stop saying, "I'm so glad to be Canadian, this could never happen here."
Yes, it could. And it will if we become too comfortably complacent.

“The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…”
That was last year. I can only imagine where the US reputation is now.
The fastest destruction of a nation’s reputation in history?

According to this ranking, Canada’s reputation has improved since 2024. We are now the 2nd most reputable country in the world.

With everything awful & scary going on in the United States & the world, we might momentarily forget that here in Canada, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre STILL REFUSES to apply for the normal security clearance that EVERYONE else in his position has.
It’s reasonable to assume he can’t pass it.

The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

Fun fact: the Vuelta is spending the rest day in Pontevedra, the longtime mayor of which is urbanist-famous for having said..
"It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. It's the same as if you bought a cow, or fridge, and then ask me where you're going to put them."

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
