I am at the NATO meetings in Brussels. Trump and Putin are plunging the world into dark chaos. Here is my dispatch from day one of the meetings.
I decided that it was time to go over the boards for Canada. Please read and share.

We, the 74 million awake, voting Americans have lost control of our government. What my grandparents sacrificed and built is being destroyed.
My aunt cries that my grandfather (who put on a uniform, kissed his wife & child goodbye to fight fascism) would not recognize the
We have become a nation of entitled narcissists. Who bought trickle down economics, “greed is good” and sent corrupt politicians returning to DC… then act surprised it hurt half the population.
So of course their answer is to throw a
Canada & EU - build an alliance.
Prosper.
It will be the best revenge.
Each member nation leave NATO and then come together - form a new alliance for liberal democratic countries. Call it NFD- nations for democracy (or something). Welcome Ukraine and any nation that is a democracy. Trump won't know what to do!!
I’m not a supporter of cutting ties and blanket labels but I can’t see any negotiating “win/win” situation with that group.
Whose words cut through nonsense quite sharply.
On Yeats, Trump, and war,
He'd prose and explore,
With insights both weighty and gnarly.
Thank you Charlie. Proud of you 🇨🇦
I’m glad, you stood up and set the record straight. The Europeans need to hear that it is time for everyone to set up. I would have said exactly the same thing.

Getting past the genteel tiptoeing is needed right now !
Thank you !
Give 'em the Canadian middle finger, a more subtle version, of course
Resistance is not futile.
Thank you for reminding Europe who we are and what we have sacrificed.
Lest we forget.
So many others like him, buried in the mud of foreign fields.
Canada Remembers.
The truth is the only way to defeat
this very real to democracy !
We all need to keep saying it, over and over again !
Stand PROUD & LOUD ♥️🇨🇦
Yep... Yep...
😞
We all know that bullies worsen with appeasement.
What they seek is control and the moment they can no longer threaten, they lose that control.
So we must speak plainly and deny them any power to define the terms. Trump wants to define who we are.
You didn’t let him
Thanks💗
This is not a time for appeasement... the world made that mistake 90 years ago. We shouldn't need to relearn that lesson... as it was a hard bloody lesson.
✊️🤝🫶
You are what Canada is all about!
Keep fighting the good fight!
💜
Canadians need someone like you now, like we've never needed someone before
You're articulate, blunt, no-bullshit intelligent yet can speak to everyone without sounding elitist. Most importantly - you believe in CANADA! From sea to shining sea

We need more people like
you to stand up and speak
up like you do. ✊🏼 🇨🇦 ❤️ 🇨🇦
To be a leader you need followers. Who's willing to follow them down this road?
Thank you Charlie!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Canada's actions to discredit the felon will help fix the not so united US. Thanks immensely.
I guess we'll be there to support the separatists this time

I am no longer proud to be American. It's disgusting what he is trying to do to Canada, Norway, Mexico, Panama & Gaza.

The time of diplomacy and “ oh, they won't let him do it” or “ it won't get that bad” is over. He is doing it and it only going to get worse. I wish all ambassadors would call it like it is and leave the sugar for better times. We aren't certainly at peace.
Thank you Charlie
If so, why? You aren't running in the election that will be called the moment Parliament resumes sitting, so you have zero contribution to make to any debate on issues that result from these meetings.
Enjoy your holiday at our expense.
Who do you propose speak for us? Trumpian PP will sell us down the river first chance he gets.
Someone who'd be able to have an impact on policy moving forward?
That's not Charlie. He's quitting. So, why should anyone give a fuck what he thinks?
Only reason he's getting play is because he's shooting his mouth off.
Clear and present danger is now. Pushback can not wait until the election.
The majority of us support your sovereignty, and some of us wish we were there, not here.
Do most of you?
It looks very much like half of your population are just fine with it and would go to war to do as their cult leader tells them.
Your military doesn't answer to you directly.
Those of us who disagree are doing what we can.
I don’t support violence, so there aren’t many options.
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
-W.B. Yeats
