Is anyone surprised? More bogus talking points from President TACO. The digital services tax has been set to kick in for some time. American dairy have an open border up to the point of flooding us. That's when tariffs kick in. They have never even attempted to sell their share into Canada.

I’m a hardworking, taxpaying, churchgoing, grandkid-raising American citizen. And if I work all day long and want to go home, smoke a joint & just stare at the fireplace for 3 hours…that’s my civil liberty. ‪ @sarapayan.bsky.social‬ reports on my mission to end America's prohibition on marijuana:

Happy Battle of The Greasy Grass Victory Day to the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho and especially to Buffalo Calf Road Woman, who knocked Custer off his horse, either killing him or ensuring his death.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

The rich are different because of the way we’ve been shaped by all the things that come with wealth: entitlement, impunity, narcissism, isolation, inability to share power, unwillingness to take criticism, to name a few. https://trib.al/Ep5QHmT

The only thing I can say about Keir Starmer is thank God he wasn't PM back in May 1940. He will go along dutifully with whatever Trump claims. Canadians would be fools to think this punter would have our back in a showdown with Trump. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Trump's bombing of Iran serves no larger political or security purpose. He just didn't want to look like a loser as he was goaded by the war criminal Netanyahu. Canada must separate ourselves from the reckless violence of the gangster regime in Washington.

When I was young, if we wanted to find the secret rave, we'd have to be smart enough to solve a puzzle with a few clues placed around the city that would eventually lead us to the address. The next G7 should do that.
