Mirabel, Quebec, Canada 🇨🇦.
There is a large, hardly used modern airport, lots of land, could be encouraged to be considered as a bilingual area for this purpose, close to several expressways and services and close to Montreal and Ottawa.

Yup
Just maybe the GOP is not that much into JD and just maybe they will need an autocrat to take over the dictatorship.
Just saying…

Portland isn’t on fire but Judge Goodstein’s home is.

A child rapist has the nuke codes while children are zip-tied in Chicago.

The we need guns to fight tyranny guys are doing the tyranny.

The freedom of speech guys are stomping on free speech.

The pro-life party is only aroused by death.

@jacktodd.bsky.social in today's Montreal Gazette slipped this in. Not everyone will appreciate the humour. 😄

"Congratulations to Patrice Brisebois on his election as president of the Canadiens' Alumni Association. With Brisebois in charge, association meetings should breeze by."

Oh, by all means, award the Peace Prize to this authoritarian.

Do also disregard the global economic war he launched.
There is no civil war underway. Oh no!!

Trump And Hegseth Just Killed Four More Civilians In The Caribbean

Trump’s Venezuela killing spree is a march to war which, in turn, would be a handy excuse to legally obliterate civil liberties.

Wokeness is good!
It’s the choice that will save America.

Think about it.
Take a second or two and assess the situation.

Democracy Docket has a reporter in the courtroom covering the Texas redistricting hearing every single day. Meanwhile, the big legacy media is nowhere to be found.

At stake are 5 congressional seats. If this matters more than both sides journalism, become a DD subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Scattered-well-attended protests are only symbolic.

It’ll have to be many state-wide and ongoing protests for several days or weeks.
It’ll have to be business shut down time.

OR, civil war of rebellion.

Wow!
I love Charlie’s response. Thanks Vaudree for responding to my post.

Charlie sure has a way.
I hope Pete accepts and goes for a private chat over a few real domestic beers from a microbrewery.

Regarding Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, Charlie Angus said, "Elbows up, Pete. It's time to pack your bags and go back to MAGAland."

Ref charlieangus.substack.com/p/elbows-up-...

Thanks, Charlie.
Good piece. Needed clarification. Americans should notice.

Elbows up, Pete

The MAGA ambassador to Canada is at it again — gaslighting our country and blaming Canada for the poor state of Canadian-American relations.

Marc Elias:
Do they (our allies) look at us — the nation that once helped create the United Nations, the nation that once led the free world — and conclude that America as they knew it is gone?

My response as an ordinary Canadian citizen: Yes!
