youtube.com/watch?v=X35r... It wasn’t so long ago that the “Land of Dreams” video portrayed the kind of country that Americans believed in. Then along came Donald Trump.

I saw this on Facebook. I’ve been saying this to people who try to tell me that Russia invaded because they thought Ukraine might join NATO. Russian propaganda is so pervasive that acquaintances I try thought were intelligent have bought into the Russian narrative.

Word of the day: UNRAVELING It seems like a good word to describe what is happening in the United States under the Trump administration. Decades of progress on so many fronts are being reversed. Even the constitution is being ignored.

A Canadian perspective.

Trump’s claim that he needs tariffs to secure the northern border is BS. It appears that the US has a surplus when it comes to illegals, fentanyl, and guns.

A good friend of mine supplies custom glass installations for high rise construction in Vancouver BC. He will be buying his glass and fittings from China from now on due to the 25 % tariff on materials imported from the US. Trump needs to realize his erratic decisions are hurting the US economy.

We Canadians are sad that we can no longer view the US as a friendly, trustworthy neighbor.

A lot of conservatives are upset thinking that Facebook fact checkers were attempting to silence them. I got into the habit of checking the page transparency of divisive memes. Most of them originated in Asia or Eastern Europe. Fact checkers countered foreign propaganda. Trolls could still comment.
