Here's my latest reflection on a lesson I learned from a woman who was in the second tower on 9/11.
When the world is turned upside down taking action is the only way to survive.
Our democracy is under threat but politicians are still living in 2024.

What you’all think is happening? Trump has aligned w Putin against Europe? Americans need to get this Traitor out of office!
I fear you may be correct. It would appear that the US is sliding into authoritarianism. And the 🍊💩 is looking to expand his territory by gobbling up sovereign nations. /1
His talks of carving up Ukraine with Russia are disturbing, as it will force the EU to either commit to defending Ukraine as the US pulls out, or abandoning it. /2
Us uniting as a nation is a start, but we will need to either increase our military capabilities or find new allies, or both. /3
Diversification is just a smart and prudent thing for us to do.
Same with defense pacts with other nations, as there are many who are nervous at the 🇺🇸.
This is very different. The USA can never be trusted again. A treaty with them is meaningless.
Something is happening, doing nothing is a recipe for disaster.
Doesn't mean it isn't happening. I honestly wish I was so stupid I couldnt see whats coming. Because wtf can I do? I'm one unstable middle-aged big mouth in a poor province in a huge goofy unprepared country.
I guess you concerned politicians need to get your message out much louder.
I hate to to be that guy Autumn, but by doing nothing but "hopes and prayers" and acting like you aren't responsible; you are supporting this madness.
If you are an American citizen right now, you are responsible.
You don’t personally have to motivate a “large population”. You have to motivate those you know including yourself. Others will follow
We did there fight go?

That's like threatening the adult crossing guard at your child's school.
That's like threatening the best man at your own wedding.
That's like threatening a fellow enlisted man who carried your wounded body on his back out of the battle zone.
You ok with that America?
So ashamed of what is happening.
Please know that most Americans hate what's become of our own country and what that Orange Nazi is doing.

Get off your ass and march! Phone/write members of Congress!
It’s now or never
America wasn't decent before this. They supported 4 genocides in my lifetime that I can think of off the top of my head. The Biden admin just funded, armed and enabled the mass slaughter of tens of thousands of children and genocide. "America the good" is a myth.
Thank you for saying what must be said, Mr. Angus!
Lead us to the future Charlie Angus ✊😠🇨🇦❤️
It feels like 1933 and I’m pretty sure we are either Poland or France.
I hate ConservethemselvesTalibangelicKKKers shoving their Views on everyone else, that are lies & cult conspiracies!
Stop the funds combine them & help your state’s citizens let republicans finance their own populations.
The USA is the enemy and I want Canada out of every single deal and agreement possible asap
Fight, flight, or fawn, right? :(
This is allllllll part of his plan. He wants people to get so mad they snap and riot.
Canada. By the time we have an election ford smith and pp will be stained so bad.
Develop contingencies from that
Staff accordingly
I wish you weren't stepping down. We need politicians like you. Isn't there a smaller riding that could be made available to you so your responsibilities as MP were not so onerous? Thank you and thank you for your service...especially now.
We have been a great ally and trading partner to the US and with the flick of a Sharpie we’ve been demonized and accused of being abusive to the US.
This is our neighbour and friend? Where is the outcry from the democrats?
In the US J6 & the intentional theft of Classified Documents should have nullified the current occupant of the WH. It just reaffirms that DECADES of dumbing-down has been a success!
I only hope that many in parliament at least sees and thinks this way, even if they do not speak it publicly.
He's clearly hoping someone takes a shot at him so he can attack with the military.
This is a FUCKING TRAP CANADA!!!
- Surely, with 34 felonies, he'll be denied entry.
- Of course not. Why would we do that?
- I know people in upstate NY with 30yr-old DUIs who can't come in. You can't have a double standard.
Well, it looks like we do.
MEANWHILE voters must pull together and vote strategically for the candidate from ANY party who has the best chance to defeat the Con.
Glad you are in Ottawa as a voice of reason.
Naive? Absolutely.”
Bravo for at least trying to get our elected officials to put country first.
We’re at the stage where we need to make it easier for Canadians to acquire fire arms so we can at least try to make a difference.
We have no military, let’s just face it.
We’ll lose but most of us don’t want to give up without a fight.
Help. Please.
We can win. It'll probably take ten to thirty years of "come-from-behind", guerilla work.
We need to do it now because there’s only so much I can do with a bucket of balls and a driver.
Unironically, I really wish we could build a wall.

One lesson from the U.S. is we have to acknowledge/cull those actors.
The Dems tried bipartisanship & here they are.
I also have my doubts about our premiers…

Putin said “Ukraine itself was artificial” 2022
Trump says Canadian border is an “artificially drawn line” 2025
Seems pretty clear to me!
When their discontent swells into a unified cry, it may awaken the last vestiges of principled to Republicanism, summoning the courage to stand against the tide of tyranny.
