Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

There are a few US exclaves that can only be reached on land through Canada. To the people of Point Roberts and Angle Inlet: get out while you still can. Better yet,offer this land to the Canadian Govt 👀🇺🇸🇨🇦

Don’t forget to turn your clocks back to Germany 1933 and don’t forget tomorrow’s media blackout. Even if you aren’t home, tune your TVs to anything but news. And don’t forget tomorrow’s real reason for reflection: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. #TurdReichRedux

Our elders are tougher than their oligarchs
Former Canadian PM Chretien just annihilated Trump & the US media -
"Trump says he doesn’t need our electricity, but if he cuts it, he'll be walking up the stairs in a Trump Towers with candles!
He LOVES the spotlight. If he wants that kind of war, I’m not losing sleep over it." #cdnpoli #peipoli

I saw this post online.
Just be a decent and straightforward Canadian who understands the need to protect our beautiful and fair land.
Don't be a weasel or spread the rage bullshit of Danielle Smith and gang.
Nobody from outside can beat us.
Stand up to the quislings.

This popped up in my YouTube feed: The 1968 Canadian general election debate. Issues included Housing, inflation, regional disparities and concerns about Canadian unity. Sound familiar?

Regarding the latest Conservative scheme to force an election just as Trump comes to power:
I didn't survive 21 years in Parliament defending a working class and Indigenous constituency to get played for a sucker by Pierre Poilievre and his Vichy Conservatives.

Canada - Best country in the world. That was under Trudeau's watch. It won't remain that way when PeePee's MAGA fascists take over.

🇨🇦 Good news. Being debt-free or low debt strengthens resiliency in hard times.

Stats Can: "...the amount Canadian households owe relative to their income fell in the third quarter as a rise in disposable income outpaced the growth in debt." (Sixth quarter in a row)

If the powers that be had investigated Trump as fast as they went after the UHC CEOs killer, he’d already be spending his 3rd Christmas behind bars instead of preparing to be sworn in as President in a few weeks.

Let no 🇨🇦 Canadian sit this next one out. Let us all vote and let the chips fall where they may. Maybe it will be the most representative govt in Canadian history. That can only happen if we all vote in the next upcoming election, rather than just a few choosing for everyone.💕🇨🇦😉
Voter turnout - Canadian Federal Elections
2004 - 60.9%
2006 - 64.7%
2008 - 58.8%
2011 - 61.1%
2015 - 68.3
2019 - 67.0
2021 - 62.6
If progressives actually voted they would win more elections. That's one thing Conservatives do, is VOTE!

I say we make the United States a protectorate of Canada with The Right Honourable Chrystia Freeland, P.C., M.P. as Prime Minister
Chrystia Freeland, staring down KGB and pissing off the Kremlin since she was a student. If Trump tries to invade Canada, this is Canada’s Zelensky. Putin knows it. Trump knows it.
This article from when she was a teenager tells you everything you need to know about how tough and ethical she is. Her time on wall street was just as inspiring, she had no fear going up against the wall street bros. Credit to Edmonton Journal May 20 1989.
