I am not a labour lawyer, or any kind of lawyer, but I am 100% sure that not responding to an email can never be an act of resignation.

A very clever (and correct) response from Mexico.

Freedom in the United States will fall even lower in rank with Donald Trump and his henchmen in charge.

If someone wanted to destroy the United States from within, would they do anything differently than what Trump is doing right now?

It would be a shame if the U.S. executive became known as the "Krasnov Regime". A real shame.

If you’re that afraid you should step aside and make room for people who aren’t.

Twitter is now an American right wing disinformation machine interfering in global politics. Your participation in it, is collaboration and nothing less.

Trump’s vicious attack on President Zelenskyy is an attack on democracy. Zelenskyy has shown the world what heroism.Trump is a convicted pervert and felon. Trump and Putin are gangsters. We are now in a global fight to defend the democratic order. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRsf...

Generally Trump, the Trump administration, and Trump supporters can be predicted by asking this question: how would a bully handle this? Bullies are weak and insecure and favor other bullies. Hence the craven support for Putin. /1

This Canadian won’t be buying any American products or services while Donald Trump and his henchmen are in charge. I am sorry that it has come to that, but I stand by my country. Canada must protect itself.

75 years of diplomacy, hard work and a commitment to liberal democracy has just been flushed down the toilet by Trump, Vance and their MAGA idiots. Here is my final dispatch from the NATO meetings: Where Canada and Europe goes from here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Worse than Munich 1938. When Chamberlain appeased Hitler, Germany had the strongest military on the continent and hadn’t launched a big attack. Now, US has the strongest military on the continent, and Russia is weakened from 3 years of war. This isn’t from fear and hope, it’s helping the aggressor.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Actually, having thought about this, I take it all back. It is better to have Trump come, tolerate his boorish antics for a couple days, during which time he will insult all of the G-7 leaders. That will further consolidate anti-Trump, anti-U.S. sentiment. Canada needs allies.
