CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

I am in Ottawa closing down my office.
It has been an incredible honour serving the people of the north for 21 years.
But the fight goes on. The resistance takes new forms.
Stay tuned.
I ain't going anywhere. Just shedding my snakeskin.
See you on the barricades.

Canada is facing unprecedented pressure from Trump.
Our parliament has become dysfunctional from Poilievre's political games and Liberal infighting.
I thank Mr. Trudeau for his service to our country but he is in a political dead-end and has done the right thing.

So disengage.
Our job as elders is to be there for the young.
To call out the motherfuckers of disinformation.
To build on the history of resistance.
