The USA has had a long history of manipulating voting regulations and laws to distort the will of the people. Trump is simply carrying on a longstanding practice. A deeply undemocratic one.

Israel is a terrorist state. They should be out of Gaza. Carney and Canada should be severely sanctioning them until that happens. But evidently Carney prefers to tolerate and abet genocide!
