Walz: "We've got conspiracy theorists, right-wing YouTubers, breaking into our daycares, demanding access to our children. We've got the president demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous."

We have entered a new era of threats to Canadian sovereignty. Old alliances will not save us. Safeguarding our freedom and our democracy is up to us.

To that end, you are invited to a virtual town hall discussion of civil defence on Thursday, Jan 22nd, at 8pm Eastern. RSVP here: bit.ly/cd_meeting

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.

Either Canada and its allies stand together at this time or we will be broken. I think of the words of Winston Churchill in the darkest part of the Second World War when he said that Canada was the lynchpin holding democracies of the world together.

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

CBC reports flights to Vancouver canceled due to a lack of air traffic controllers. The US just let go a bunch of staff and made others look at options. Let's bring some of them to Team Canada.

Any others come to mind?
