Here for the sanity lacking elsewhere. Union strong, supporter of public education everywhere, which I reckon makes me a socialist - not a bad word in Canada. 🚫 Fascists. Rare books.

Several thousand such instances of TRUMP/MAGA malfeasance will make it damned difficult for any new government to govern in 2028, unless it is a GOP gov’t. Another gift from Stephen Miller.

USA now has more in common with authoritarian, corrupt, failed states than with the USA of, say, Obama or even GWB. Complete embarrassment.

BS until the ghostwriter releases the names. It’s time for courage, not timidity and teasing us with these sorts of “revelations.” Release it in full, or it does not exist.

In one screenshot, we see what the USA is about: using private health insurance as a way to keep the majority financially precarious, thus silent. Why else keep that system, even as it leads to the most expensive care in the world? No other nation understands why y’all put up with it.

I see your points, but I’m finding that I am agreeing more and more with those suggesting the agreement with Alberta is a hollow one, designed to placate the Alberta idiots. No oil corp wants to build that pipeline, so it won’t e built. If the theory is true, this is a master political manoeuvre.

Mikey travels and hobnobs with the president? Should there not be at least a show of distance between Congress and the executive? Sheesh!

It was possible until recently to purchase a 20 lb turkey for under $100? That is actually not too bad, from our point of view up here in Canada. Everything is just so expensive now.

Intriguing: we have no Waffle Houses in Canada. Are they known for 2 a.m. shenanigans?

I love the old, heavy Nikon drives. Your 2 looks great! I never took my 4 off of my F3, so now that it’s a beat up old F3 (but still working perfectly), the MD is worn just the same as the camera body. They are inseparable!

Being Canadian (for now . . . ), I can only observe your campaign, not contribute to it. But, you are an inspiration nevertheless. Keep it up — all of it! You will be exhausted (probably are already!), but please know that everything you do charts the new journey for Dems, and is important work.🇺🇸🙂🇨🇦

I (in BC) watched in horror as Ontario fell into a weird, self-destructive “love” with the Ford boys back when Rob was still alive and smoking/drinking/falling down. “Surely Ontarians won’t vote for my uncle’s old hash dealer!“ Yet, here we are, with Doug. WTF? Was “buck-a-beer” the siren call?

Some tech ethicists are actually arguing that AI should eventually have almost human-like rights. No thank you. We have every right — if AI is to be rammed into our lives without our say-so — to think of it, and treat it, as a functional tool (essentially a subservient worker that we use).

If Europe is serious, they need to go directly against the USA, and supply Ukraine with thousands of long-range drones, fighters, and bombers. If Europe does not do this, Ukraine cannot win or even survive. You talk about going alone (without USA), so let’s see some serious action.

THIS is what I have struggled to understand since 2016: why, when called out and threatened by Trump/MAGA, doesn’t everyone just double down? Produce huge quantities of the very thing Trump hates. Why just get a response out of him, then stop? Fear?

Vancouver-Quilchena voters have a lot to answer for with this one. Luckily, in southwest BC, these weirdos stand out starkly as the sociopaths they are, because there are so few of them. She won’t be getting any of those nice restaurant tables anymore, after this latest idiocy!

Just as he doesn’t want Canada as a 51st state. Nonsense: everything he says is what he believes and wants.
