Canada! The natural successor, son, daughter, clan member, cultural heritor, (yet respecting native peoples), has, in our era, survived mis-steps and conflict and has the courage to be forthright. We & the 'movements' that are 'left' (of that) 'other' geo-political crap, MUST find courage & stand!

Problems:
Let's be honest about the US, Ukraine, Venezuela, & Israel
Foreign policy is being perverted as it moves from/to selective outrage, strategic silence, and power‑first decision making
People pay the price
Don't accept a world where principles are optional & lives are negotiable.

Do you want change ?
People rarely change their mind because someone “won an argument.” They shift when they feel seen, respected, and not judged:
