It's time to take the fight for Canada on the road. There is an election looming that will screw up my plans but I am looking to find a way to get out across Canada to build the resistance and help with local teams to be #elbowsup.

“To hear President Trump and some of his closest supporters tell it, South Africa is a terrible place for white people.… The data tell a different story. Although white people make up 7 percent of the country’s population, they own at least half of South Africa’s land.”

China has announced its tariff retaliation—15% tariffs on US chicken, wheat, corn & cotton, plus a 10% tariff on soybeans, pork, beef, fruits, vegetables, & dairy products. Blue or red state, your grocery bill just raised. Wonder who Trump will blame this trade war on?

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I received a response from Elections Canada over my call for an investigation into Elon Musk and the potential to use the X algorithm to interfere in our election. Elections Canada has a voluntary code of good behaviour for platforms. This is not good enough. Our democracy must be protected.
