That's rich. Billionaires with jets and golf courses telling little girls in working class homes how many dolls they can have!
They're out of touch with reality. As Marie Antoinette said: let them eat cake if the poor have no bread.

I'm glad I'm in Ontario and don't have to worry about buying groceries in America.

Nope, I'm in agreement

Yes, bad religion can do that. So can atheism - Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao... wicked people come in both flavours.

As a Canadian, I was very happy with the way Carney handled it and how he answered Trump.

This is so true, and as a Christian living in Canada, it's sickening that evangelicals south of the border are so delusional and corrupted.

Exactly, and well said. And it's been very easy to #buyCanadian and #boycottAmerica. My lovely wife is American (we live in Canada now), and she's very committed to boycotting the USA. Canada needs to work on forging closer ties with the EU.

Aliens most definitely like coffee. MJ Wahl has a few novels about that.

The US #evangelical church has abandoned the message of Jesus in order to curry influence with the rich and powerful

Yes, that is exactly it. I'm a Canadian and married to an American with a lot of US relatives. And we want nothing to do with the dumpster fire down south. We don't cross the border anymore and we aren't buying US made products anymore - which is surprisingly easy for the most part.

Yes! I'm a Canadian and will be voting Liberal this Monday. I was a life-long conservative and always voted that way, but this election I'm switching to Liberal. The CPC is 'Maple' MAGA, and we in Canada can't stand Trump. We WON'T be bullied, nor give in to a fascist tyrant.

He disturbs me deeply. The government has NO business going after woke ideology or any ideology bc the government has no business going after or trying to dictate what people want to believe. Call me a radical granola chewing liberal, but I believe in freedom of thought without fear of retribution.

As a Christian with seminary training, I loved this. I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment expressed.

First they came for the <immigrants> and I did nothing,
because I was not an immigrant...

I love it. I wish more world leaders would show as much backbone. They all need to stop being afraid. I feel strongly that if world leaders stood up stronger, Trump would eventually fold like a cheap suit, because at heart he's a coward with no moral backbone of his own. All he has is bluster.

Yes, exactly.

Thanks Jenny for bringing these facts to light. Someone should suggest to Trump and his evangelicals to maybe read the Bible and take another look at what Jesus said.
What Trump and his Christian Nationalist fascists are doing makes me sick.

hang in there. It's the re-writing that separates the serious writers from the wanna-bes.
Most of my novels I went over easily 10 times again AFTER the first draft. Seriously - not exaggerating.

Being an American citizen will not save you. I'm Canadian, so decided weeks ago that I can't cross the border. But my wife is American. It's no longer safe for her either.

Being an American citizen will not protect you if Trump gets away with this.

I completely agree. Standing up for "the least of these" is very basic to the Gospel, and Jesus said our treatment of them is how he will determine how he judges people and nations.

Nice summary list. Thanks for sharing. It's just missing one thing: Trump USA - bankruptcy (pending)
