Apathy is strong here as well as denial. There is a lot of protesting by the people that is not being publicized, but spineless politicians and judges rule this country now
The cowards are hiding from the voters now. Mullin won't return military wife's phone calls on Signal's risk to husband/troops, HIDES in phone town halls only taking 6 approving calls. Local news in the pocket. Worthless pieces of sh1t don't even care about their own troops-Local News In The Pocket
I think the struggle is that a lot of us want to hear that too. We’ve always liked to see ourselves as the big hands of the world & we’ve shoved that down everyone’s throats for years. & we still have a lot of power & still misuse that. But… I think we’re gonna need some help getting out of this.
Believe me when I say we're working on it as best we can. But we need help in shutting down the lunatics running our country. If Canada would essentially cut down all trade with thw U.S. like Mexico just did (circumventing the USMCA), it would a great start and help immensely.
Canadians need you to make and execute a plan that involves arresting members of the Trump Regime, including Trump. You know you have to do this before it's too late.
You're suggesting what amounts to a criminal conspiracy under our democracy. It very may well come to that. At the moment we're working on it through the legal processes which are slow. We know what an absolute disaster we are dealing with. Canada closing the border to all U.S. trade would help.
It’s nearly impossible for us the close the borders right now given how intertwined our economies are. But we’ve also chosen to aim our tariffs at red states. I DK what the best approach is but I think this is the fairest and most realistic for now
Democrats are on the sidelines saying, "Dogs can't play football." Meanwhile, the Golden Retriever just scored another touchdown.
Trump is not playing by the old rules, and you're not going to beat him if you are.
Amazing analogy. The left (here in Canada) always takes the upper road, and I generally support that. But there are time where to need to fight by the same rules, even if it means a little discomfort.
I agree, I think Carney is playing hardball to the right extent, a "take no shit" attitude that we rarely see here.
I can't wait for him to beat PP, he's the right leader for this time.
Even in red Mississippi some of us are protesting. We have a terrible system in that Trump was president first time even though he lost the popular vote by 3 million. We can’t call for elections and no limit to money spent by corporation or billionaires. I don’t think we are a democracy
So, who exactly are you speaking with to get that information? You know that the media doesn't report accurately, so if that's what anyone is relying on, you will always be disappointed.
Most Americans are just trying to survive. We can't leverage our labor because we are all mostly saddled by debt, tied to insurance, and living paycheck to paycheck. It's not apathy but complete exhaustion.
republicans just lost a state representative seat that they have held for 100 years. We have special elections in Florida on April 1 in safely Republican areas. Watch this space to see if just three months after taking office, the Republicans have lost their electorate.
Pretty simple my fellow Americans, get angry, grow a spine. Fight back. That is the only way to show that you love liberal democracy in Canada, or anywhere else.
What are we doing? We are working to flip seats from rep to dem. Had a successful flip in a very MAGA trump district however that was at state level. This indicates the level of hate for this administration. Town halls in MAGA land are showing huge pushback on his reign. We are taking down Tesla.
The house means nothing. He just pens another EO and moves on. You need to take 2/3 of the Senate, which means all seats up for election in 2026. I'm not sure it's possible, but how much damage will be done by then.
Not true, both are needed to remove the asshole. The House determines whether to impeach and if it is called for; the Senate decides whether to convict and remove the official from office.
I want the felon, sexual predator and liar impeached again but this time I want him convicted and jailed.
I think we will be seeing more and larger protests. MAGA is finally seeing that Trump doesn't care about anyone or anything. I just have to laugh when I see governors begging for exemptions for their states. It's never all of us, just them. Pathetic, watching them grovel and plead and beg,
It's very hard to understand the MAGA mind, it's diseased for sure IMO. I for one, hope we get as much help from countries like Canada and support any economic damage you can do. You are doing a great job, keep up the resistance.
I haven't bought a US product or produce since he took office. Honestly, I can do it forever. Canadians are finding new options, which should concern the US. Flights to the US are down 70%, land crossings 20%. The thing is that Trump doesn't give a damn about things like this.
As an American with a Canadian husband and kids with dual citizenship I can say from all of us that we love Canada but we don't want to live in Canada. We hate Trump to a level I have never felt for anyone else. I love my country but I hate this administration. What are we doing? see next comment
Big Money/Business, campaign contributions owns congress so they & democracy R obsolete ineffectual fictions the dream fading. We need to vote in younger uncorrupted to get us back on track. Regulations, taxes back on wealthy that parasite off the masses It may have to all break first though & will
I could move to Canada I'm half But I moved 2 testing ground 4 project 2025 A foreign planet of insane extremist thinking. I found a few like me battling their parents cult thinking/pressure. Indoctrination, control strong here, keep the masses in line No diversity allowed well practiced in control
Trump fiens for everyones oil. Canada, Greenland. He wants to steal everyones resources. "Give it to me-its mine" American gas guzzlers, Putins leverage, the worlds addiction. Energy oligarchs, not just my problem but everyones. First Nations controlled to steal their resources. Green energy=Freedom
yes, talk is cheap, and sadly nothing is being done, Military is ignoring too! Sadly we found out the republican party of congress and senate is compromised?
Can't blame you at all. Trump is a mad dog. It is up to everyone here in the US to reign him in, not just those who voted for him. He's destroying the balance of power in the world because of his insane narcissistic delusions. It is not enough to say we disagree. We must fix this or bear the blame.
we know that but still hard to change when money rules everything in our country and Supreme Court Justices put in power by presidents who didn’t even win popular vote. We do not have a true democracy and is why many here do not vote
Couldn't agree more! Instead of apologizing or saying it wasn't me. Tell your politicians. Tell your business owners. Boycott the companies that stopped DEI. Tell your church pastors.
Influencing American minds & elections have been a focus for bad actors around the world my entire life. There’s little to no interest in manipulating Canadian or other elections to the same extent. So, with all do respect, we get the frustration-we’re living it-but this attitude is just unnecessary
Canadian elections are being influenced by X and Facebook and India and the leader of the conservatives is pro MAGA. This disease is everywhere. I hope we take our lesson from what is happening in the US.
It is everywhere. We’re just the first place this long game has been successful. Trump/MAGA is 40 years in the making. Yes, we have work to do in the US but I just feel like hostility toward American citizens en masse is unnecessary. We need more global unity & support not reprimanding.
Actually NPP winner, Maria Ressa says Cambridge Analytica used Philippines as a petri dish for America & yes this IS everywhere. 2014-Putin saw Meta as way 4 influence ops 4 Ukraine. And all across Europe the same. Elections are always subject to meddling across the globe-Africa, S. America too.
I had the thought today that it may not be so much a case of Americans not believing how serious it is, but we do, in fact, believe and are terrified to disappear.
We are trying desperately to stop this madness! It's hard when our senators don't visit our state or take phone calls, but, trust me, we are doing our best.
As an American who has been protesting this fascist cunt for years now, I just wanna say, I've been to Canada. Newfoundland and Halifax? Beautiful in December.
I'd rather die standing in the streets of New Orleans than beg another country to help my own people.
We can't run. Someone else fought 4 our rights so long ago & we are going to hand the next generations this shit? MAGA & congress may have no shame 4 what we have become, the lost dream but I will not take what I can not give 2 future generations or others. Diversity & equality 4 all. F monopolies.
75 million people here have been trying their hardest to fight & survive. We have families. We have only 1 vote & they are trying to take that away. We've lost jobs. To criticize us is like kicking a puppy dog when it's the owner who's the problem.
He stepped down and we miss him. Not like the lunatic in the Oval Office. Trump is not fit to polish Trudeau’s shoes. Our PM took us safely thru a pandemic. Your idiot suggested injecting bleach.
And if we’re not careful…we’ll be eating those words. PP’s and the Cons support in this country is still too high and very concerning.
I swear…if our country votes in the Cons…then what. I don’t think I can survive another shitty decision made by others lol.
Exactly. The fact that 77+M of you booked another ticket on the Titanic…..SERIOUSLY??? Leader of the free world??? Suggestion: get rid of ‘In God We Trust’ from your currency and court rooms. View ‘Hollywood’ and ‘Disney’ as fantasy, as they were meant to be. Pack away your bibles. JOIN REALITY!
our votes don’t even count if you live in the wrong state. He barely won but it looks like mandate with our fucked electoral college. It is not one person one vote at all
It is grim. Unbearable! We are going through something similar in Canada….we vote for a local MP. In our riding it is HEAVILY Cons….last Liberal who ran here got multiple death threats and the signage was quite terrifying…I am so scared, constant tummy ache…we have ‘MAPLE MAGA’ here, voting Con.😫😱
The election was rigged. The idiot in charge has said it. There is proof that the election results were tampered with in swing states. Millions of votes were thrown out. Yes, there were people who did vote for the cheeto faced man child unfortunately. The rest of us are fighting!
We're trying! We know if we do anything they may deem as lawless he will institute martial law. We are doing everything in our power to protest and remove the idiots in power without inciting martial law. So while it seems we aren't moving fast enough, there is a reason.
2/2 Btw, any James Bond, Jason Bourne types around? You know, just in case. When Trump goes against the law, then all laws are null and void. So Canada, UK etc do what you must.
We are kind of busy supporting each other here. We come together in Canada. So far our little group of whacko maple maga don’t have the power whacko maga does in USA. Platitudes don’t solve problems. The longer USA citizens sit back and do nothing the worse trump will do.
I'm an American, black sheep by craft, waiting for the first damn spark. Nothing yet. One witch can’t burn the whole system alone—but trust, I’ve got my matches. So here I sit, side-eyeing the herd, waiting for the sign while sharpening my hexes.
I'll be there when it happens.
I live in a red state so this is even worse for me. However I send emails to Bernie Moreno at least once a week, sometimes two times a week. He sends me form emails in return. I am going to add John Husted to my email list too. Calling is futile, all calls go to voice mail.
Voicemails are more powerful than emails, from what I've been told. Staff must listen to every vm, log the topic & your position, tally it & advise the legislator, who then knows what people are so hot about that they are calling. It's good if your call goes to voicemail! It means they are swamped.
Can we use this post as a forum to post what we are doing? We all need support and encouragement. As of January I have cancelled Amazon Prime and Music, stopped buying anything from Amazon, Walmart, Target and Home Depot. In Feb. I began monthly donations to Public Citizens and Democracy Docket.
As an American I needed to hear that! Thank you! It is so damn to feel hopeless and want to give up. Every fucking day there is something new to worry about! As a senior citizen with mobility issues I am limited, but I am going to find ways that I can fight back.
I want to see USians in the streets. I don't want to hear "but there are already Americans protesting", I want to hear about how they're going out every day and filling the streets until more people join them, like the Georgians have been doing.
I don't want to hear "but that's what he wants to declare martial law!" I want to hear ridicule of the people saying such whiny pathetic defeatist things.
I share the frustration in this post as do Americans who are not psychotic imbeciles. (perhaps a dying breed) and we are doing what we can. We trashed Tesla and Target in the markets and we're putting pressure on the dipshits in congress. Now short of storming the capital what are we supposed to do?
Agree. Unfortunately signs point to a rigged election & possible complicity through rep’s inaction. This plot to steal our democracy has been in the works for decades. Rich people just couldn’t let us have power.
Under these circumstances, anything less than a major revolt will not produce change.
We are working on it. They just flipped a seat in Pennsylvania that has been Republican for around 60 years, in an area that voted highly for Trump. These elections have the GOP freaking out. Lots of elections next Tuesday, hopefully will yield similar results.
Seriously, so what? Your king is in charge. We should wait two years to see if you can turn every Republican Senate seat that's available? Will he wait two years to invade Greenland, Panama or Canada?
People are out protesting, showing up to town halls even if their representatives are not, tons of court cases getting filed and getting won….the media is not covering most of it as they have sold out to Mango Mussolini and Phony Stark.
Rachael Maddow posts the protests every evening on her show. Let companies that advertise on fox that you are avoiding their products. And I sure hope Canada doesn’t get a Musk controlled government aka CPC.
Calm down and drink a brew....nothing is going to change quickly, and Americans who say we care is the only indication you will have that we are trying to fix this mess.
Will you say the same when he invades Greenland? Calm down and drink a brew? Nothing is going to change in the US at all. If you have midterms are you going to win every seat in the Senate? That's the only way to make real change. We should wait two years to see if you do it?
🤣 Well that is exactly the kind of hystetia that helps no one. Little donnie is not invading anyone, and he is destroying his support more, daily. Better try two brews 'eh?
I think ignoring things that Donnie says…is the reason both our countries are in this mess.
Being outnumbered by over 300 million people, whose alliances are sketchy…is concerning. No amount of beer will suffice.
Agreed. I'm switching to Nova Scotia distilled whisky. I was out of Kentucky bourbon as I gave a lot away when I moved last year. That's the catch with boycotts, you find Canadian alternatives.
So, he says a LOT. You cant listen to all of it, most is just being spewed to enrage or confuse as many people as possible. I meant,ignore the obvious ns, and let him and his goons hang themselves.

We'll get back to you on that.
Trump is not playing by the old rules, and you're not going to beat him if you are.
I can't wait for him to beat PP, he's the right leader for this time.
When, not if, we decide that it’s time, can we count on you to have our backs?
I want the felon, sexual predator and liar impeached again but this time I want him convicted and jailed.
there are not 2 presidents or 2 governments. He got in, however that happened, and reps you on the world stage in your name, like it or not.
most of your post read like the sound of the Teacher speaking, in a Charlie Brown cartoon
I'd rather die standing in the streets of New Orleans than beg another country to help my own people.
Stop being so pedantic.
As for me and the millions who up with this shit, we're taking it to the streets!
What do think we can do?
The single worst thing you can do to a workhorse who is simply trying to make it through the day is whip it.
It would be nice if our neighbors gave us their support and understood how hard we are working.
Are you sure you're Canadian?
To be honest we have little support to offer anyone but each other in Canada these days.
75 million people here have been trying their hardest to fight & survive. We have families. We have only 1 vote & they are trying to take that away. We've lost jobs. To criticize us is like kicking a puppy dog when it's the owner who's the problem.
My heart is with seniors and disabled and family of deceased social security recipients.
Elmo has no heart for anyone but himself
I swear…if our country votes in the Cons…then what. I don’t think I can survive another shitty decision made by others lol.
Time for action, there’s been enough damage.
"He who acts to save his country from tyranny, domestic terrorism, Project 2025, and radical right wing criminals, violates no laws.”
I'll be there when it happens.

I’ve traded in the alcohol for the Made in Canada weed drinks (Thanks Trudeau!)
