I agree, the American people are really under-reacting to this. People should be blocking every entrance into and out of the place until there are answers. I am really surprised at how easy it has been for these MAGA loonies to take over ... they treat everyone like shit.

It must be weird for the troops deployed there to hear the president say that and look around at reality with nothing to do.

Of course, they shouldn't have to deal with this, and they shouldn't have to fight for their basic human rights... but here we are. The sooner they organize and stand up to the government, the sooner they can return to normal. The solution must come from Americans themselves.

They are getting away with it because the American people are letting them.

We are watching your situation with great interest and also with concern and compassion. Americans are our neighbors and friends. It's like watching your girlfriend marry an abusive guy. You hope like he'll she will be OK and wish you could do more to help.

We have issues in Canada that need to be addressed.

Truth and Reconciliation Day is an opportunity to acknowledge that Indigenous Peoples continue to face systemic racism, cultural erasure, and the generational trauma caused by residential schools.

Honour these truths and assume responsibility for our role to make sure that it never happens again.

Imagine, it's a good day in America when you are able to run away from a group of armed bullies in uniform. I am so sorry this is happening.
