Just like 🇷🇺 said that he supported Kamala and not the 🍊 guy
We are no fools.

So Donald Trump tells us he doesn't like Pierre Poilievre.
Lol.
The MAGA team know that a Trump endorsement is a political death wish. Poor Pierre. He's their boy and has no respect.
Don't get fooled. He is their favourite sock puppet.

This is what the resistance looks like.
The protesters for Ukraine are the best of our nation.
Good Canadians.
Every day, they stand peacefully outside the Russian Embassy fence which is strung with barbed wire.
Russian staff wear MAGA hats.
I stand with Ukraine. I oppose the Putin/Trump gang.

The disgraceful behaviour in the White House is not about Trump or Vance.
It is about the complicity of the entire political class of the United States and the American media.
It is about the very soul of America.
They either stand up for democracy or they stand for tyranny.
The world is watching.

An important read. Premier Tim Houston 'dismantling democracy'. "Houston’s recent rhetoric is right out of the populist right-wing playbook...". This is not the way we do things in Nova Scotia, Canada. Thank you Joan Baxter and @halifaxexaminer.ca. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/dismantling-...
Premier Tim Houston has a hate on for 'special interest groups' but won’t say who they are. Here are the actual special interests in Nova Scotia. - Halifax Examiner
Houston’s recent rhetoric is right out of the conservative, populist right-wing playbook being used by autocratic politicians the world over.

So, Premier Tim Houston and his PC gang members, are hell bent on following the lead of other non-democratic leaders, by gagging the media, and stopping legitimate protests in Nova Scotia. Shame on all of them.

If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this.
Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.”
What?!

Americans think of Canada as sparsely populated, and in relation to our geography, we are. But we are almost 40M strong.
That’s the same size as the largest state in the U.S.
They would feel it, if all of a sudden California stopped being part of their economic reality. They will feel our loss

Here's a fact most Americans don't know:
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world.
The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits.
We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.
