Canadians do the same but fortunately, not to the same degree. Why do most Americans and many Canadians covet & admire those with money & fame as if those things are more important than scientific knowledge, the environment, animals, or even our fellow humans? Why are we so deficient as a species?

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

Returned home from a road trip out west to visit family & promptly fell ill, likely with a new Covid variant as I have all the symptoms. Unfortunately the booster wasn't available before we left. So far I feel awful but it's manageable. 🤧 Needless to say I'd rather be feeling healthy instead!

Thank you Premier Eby! You put Smith in her place. Alberta needs to start playing as a team member, not a Trumpian acolyte.

B.C. Premier David Eby is clearly beyond frustrated with Danielle Smith's pipeline dreams threatening the B.C. economy.

In a fiery statement, he called her out directly stating...

"This is not the Danielle Smith show!"

Heseltine at the Tory conf:

"Fascists of the 30s are back... Trump's language coincides with words here... The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem. We must make clear we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Farage... We don't need Trump's mouthpiece anywhere near No. 10.”

American consumers now face 17.4% average tariffs on goods (1935 levels) according to the Yale Budget Lab, a nonpartisan think tank

That means the average U.S. household is spending $2,300/yr more on the same goods than they did when Biden was POTUS and the average tariff was 2%

I spoke up about Pierre Poilievre today and got this threat on facebook. Josh Levy tells me to watch my back.
No Josh, I will keep speaking out about building a better Canada regardless of the threats you make to me or my loved ones.

Poilievre launches an attack on the PM on the eve of a high-stakes meeting with a regime that wants to break our nation.
MAGA Pierre claims he will be open to talking with MAGA America.
His only other job experience was working at Dairy Queen (apparently).
Put a sock in it Pierre.

MAGA MAPLE declared that a youth that asked a question at a public event should be "spanked."
Danielle Smith accused the school board of being "viciously compliant" when they released the list of books the MAGA morons were trying to ban.
In Alberta, the kids are alright.

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.
