On Thursday, the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus will be stopping by Red Deer, Innisfail, Sylvan Lake, Rimbey and Rocky Mountain House.

I am looking forward to helping our volunteers collect petition signatures.

“You always feel the weight of the world and decisions you make, but when you feel a country, it gets a little dicey at times, like the 6th inning with the bases loaded, nobody out and Aaron Judge hitting. You feel like people in Nova Scotia want to come murder you.” — Toronto manager John Schneider

Well it would turn into a blithering rant if I let myself go down that path! Hahahaha. Wasn't it lovely before he came back? We had peace, respectful parliament interaction, productive HOC.

TBF, also a big shoutout to the many suffering Americans who feel our plea, support our cause, all while watching Nazi's take over their country. I've had some harsh words for some Yank's today, but my heart's with the ones who voted correctly, who are taking action now, and who are antifascist.

Why do some Americans refuse to believe anything else? Have they learned nothing? Sighhhhh...

Dear some Americans. Our PM, smart, kind, world class banker and proud Canadian is doing his best while dealing with the devil, all while trying to prevent us from getting further burned. You can not negotiate with a facist. Enough of the slander, ffs. Leave us alone, we're really not coming back.

But, even though you have all the answers, and are so fully confident in them apparently, you have no picture and a fake name. You contradict yourself, you're wasting our time. Be real, "stand up"! GTFOH.

We are. We're not buying your stuff, we're not visiting. We're counter tarriffing while still being diplomatic. We told your "Ambassador to fuck right off" Spare me the lecture, you have fucked over the whole world, now feel the need to lecture us on fixing your mistakes? Do you even hear yourself?

Another American, telling other countries they are disgusted by them. This is a great example of why we won't be back. You've learned nothing, and obviously never will. Hey, good luck with your full facist, authoritarian state. A true example of how things should be done? Fuck off.

No guy, he's saving us from becoming like the U.S.A. and your facism in the best way he knows how, while forced to be in the Oval office. You are a failing state, but have extra time to slander my P.M. while watching your country turn into a full authoritarian state. Cool story bro. Fuck off.

We have watched you since 2016 show off your political prowess. The whole world is in shock at it. So pardon us if we don't take advice from America. It's like my 3 times divorced friends telling me what's best for my marriage. Pass.

I'd love to do a newsletter exchange with folks. What I mean by this is that two writers team up and run a piece from the other newsletter on their own NL. This serves both as an endorsement and a way to expose new writers to different audiences.

If you're interested in this, reply here or DM.
