Thanks for calling this out Catherine. My parents were among the liberated and never forgot, and nor did I! Using the term in Trump's way is a total disservice and a great insult to all veterans and current service members. But what can you expect from a brain his size?

Thank you Catherine for clarifying this important term and its reference to one of our most important moments in history. We honour family members who were there with the Netherlands 🇳🇱

And they celebrate with enormous gratitude. Canadian soldiers are symbols of freedom in the Netherlands. They are always honoured on Liberation Day.

Sadly, America has turned it back on its allies.
many of us in America had relatives who never survived the Holocaust. Trump,and especially Musk are trying to erase this part of history,by destroying the department of education.

As a dual Dutch/Canadian citizen, I am forever grateful. I grew up with stories about the war and will never forget.
I’m very troubled by the rise of the far right and their nazi rhetoric. It all sounds too familiar

Fascists love to co-opt terms that have real impactful meaning and pervert them to mean absolutely nothing. The orange fuhrer is doing that today!

If ur not seeing the parallels between neo nazis & the history of the world wars, ur woefully ignorant of history or willfully ignoring it. The Russian oper47ive has designed a complete economic crash in 2029. 100 years to the date of the 3rd Reich rise
