I can't wait until the United States cleanses itself of all the ugly traces of Donald Trump. Take his name off buildings. Remove all the tacky gold bric-a-brac from the White House walls. Bulldoze his vulgar ballroom. Restore MLK, Jr Day and Juneteenth at parks. #Fumigate
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago.

Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence — and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.

It’s so easy not to do things that would upset polite Canadians.
Not using their beloved Franklin character for mocking torture & murder meme posts, is one way to not piss off Canadians.

US Ambassador to Canada: But let me tell you, I go around the country and people will say, “Pete, you just don’t understand why we’re so mad about the 51st state.” And it’s kind of like, “Yeah, you’re right. I don’t.

1/ Hoekstra’s statements are mind boggling and supported by Americans.

Hoekstra: Canadians shouldn’t be upset about becoming the 51st state - it’s a compliment.

Canadians: No country on 🌎 sees a foreign country seizing their country as a compliment.

It’s to take our natural resources.

The budget vote PASSES 170-168. If my live vote page is correct, there were 2 NDP absences, 2 CPC absences. CPC absent: Matt Jeneroux and Shannon Stubbs. The Speaker also didn't vote, of course.

Angus: You know, every article I’ve read about the tourism numbers talks about “Canada’s uncertainty with the tariff wars.” No. Canadians hate Donald Trump. They see not going to the US as an act of patriotism.

U.S. tourism just took a $5.7 billion hit thanks to Canadians staying home. 🇨🇦 Travel from Canada to the U.S. has plunged since Trump took office.

Turns out chaos, hate, violence and instability aren’t great tourism slogans.

I'm Canadian.

Our airports are open.
We feed our poor.
Everyone has healthcare.
We have allies.
We don't stab friends in the back.
Our leadership is sane and thoughtful.
We don't snatch people off the streets.
We have rule of law for everyone.

Why would anyone think we'd want to be a 51st state?

I saw someone on my timeline shaming someone else for posting about college football in a time like this.

Folks, if we're going to survive a time like this, we're going to need to avoid burning out from an attitude of 24/7 vigilance and constant outrage.

Let people find joy where they can, please.
