"Illegal" means nothing to Trump II. Just as court decisions mean nothing.
Greed is everything. That and tax breaks for ultra-wealthy friends.

Looks like a "Chicken and egg" thing.
Big Pharma lobby government for decades; pay next to nothing in taxes for decades and get to charge obscenely high prices for drugs in USA, for decades.
Sounds like a plan.

The more people and organization who run away from Trump II the better. He should be ignored. Abandoned.

Trump II is dying to try out that Bunker Buster, the ultimate man-weapon.

"Funny" (not!) how tow truck operations across Canada were taken over by tough guys. Really tough guys. Big tough guys with muscles and tattoos.

But wait. With Trump II court decisions mean less than nothing. They are to be totally ignored.
Trump II thinks if he loses, it's a good thing. It means he's on the right track.

Why oh why does this twit still have a job? Oh, I forgot who his boss is. That's why. He's the absolute best Trump II can find.

Nobody knows? Wait five minutes. This guy can't keep a secret longer than a 2-year-old. He'll get all giddy and giggly.

I sincerely hope a) He loses the vote and is no longer CPC leader. b) he is defeated in the upcoming by-election. Hope it is a (good) bye-election.

Prem Danielle Smith doesn't work well either. No point in keeping her.

Same goes for lawn darts. Brilliance that only a father would appreciate.

Silly me. I thought all that natural flavour came from the dyes in the fake cheese. Oh well. I guess they'll re-engineer it to keep it totally unhealthy.

"Finalized trade agreement"???? As they say in Irish: Me arse.
Nothing is final with Trump II except chaos
Bear in mind Trump I signed a trade agreement with Canada, Mexico. Best trade deal ever. He didn't respect if from Day 1
Don't be fooled. Only fools are fooled by Trump and his band of thugs

BTW TACO had to run away halfway through G7 Summit. Didn't want to see Zelenskyy, I guess. Runaway.

So far, I haven’t agreed with everything he’s done but I have to say: I think he is the right guy for the job (esp. since our millionaire neighbour wants to cry when he hears his voice) and I trust him.
Funny thing, trust. It never really requires full agreement.

IMHO Mark Carney is the guy Canada needs as PM at this juncture. We need to give him some space. He 'plays' a long game and will win. Win for Canada.

Lots of mostly old white male drama queens. It's always full of drama. Little substance and definitely many elephants in the room which shall not be discussed or recognized. I wonder if Zalenskyy brought some playing cards for Trump. Z doesn't play cards.

Trump would have diplomatic-like immunity. Too bad.
What gets me is apparently 200 US Marines landed in Calgary. Why did Canada Border Services let armed dudes into Canada on official business.
This is worse than letting Cheeto-face into Canada.

I suspect this is no biggie. ViaRail users are used to disappointment and abuse. We should give them an award if ever a train arrived on schedule.

It's all about focus. Trump can't focus especially since breaking up with Elon. All he wants to do is inflict pain to the whole world 🌎 except Putin's Russia and Kim Un's North Korea.

Silly me. I thought the measure of a country was if ultra-wealthy got really great tax breaks. Let the poor (99%) pay for everything.

The sounds of one of Chicago’s largest protests in recent memory reverberated throughout downtown streets, as tens of thousands gathered in a united admonishment of Donald Trump and then marched through the center of the city, pausing in front of the tower bearing his name to direct their ire.

Is anyone safe when they allow a lunatic like this carry a weapon. Then again Trump has the nuclear codes.
comment in response to

Allowing lunatic, unhinged Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey to carry and maybe use a gun is just about as bad as giving the nuclear "codes" to Trump.

"Dallas Express" I suspect a very conservative maybe a bit slanted newspaper. It looks like fear-mongering.
I accept your first-hand intel.
I think no MAiD assessors in Canada would fail to "see" a person was being coerced.
Where are these patients' advocates? Ombudsman? Seniors Advocate?

In Canada when Bill C-14 became law, there was no mention of needing to have a terminal illness, disease or condition. Only grievous, irremediable and reasonably foreseeable natural death. That was changed in 2021. If you don't have RF natural death, there is a mandatory 90 day evaluation period.

I'm on the other side of this. I'm a (strong) advocate for MAiD but also a strong advocate for EOL support: Palliative Care, symptom management. No one should have to suffer. That's one more failure, in your case, Ontario is failing you.
