Not pro-life

Canada needs a game plan to overhaul our regulatory bodies and to invest what is necessary to protect our people. The United States has ceased to be a trustworthy ally. They are threat not just to us but to their own people. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Trump’s words and actions continue to irreparably harm the US’ standing on the world stage. No country can trust him as he systematically breaks agreements and treaties without regard. Refuses to pay bills for services rendered, just as he runs his companies.

Who would ever have imagined living in a world where a US President trolls & insults its largest trading partner & friend on a daily. The disrespect to our nation and our current leader is abhorrent, as is the goading on of others with lies and falsehoods to promote hate and disdain for our country

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

Trump has officially switched sides.

Trump is now repeating Putin’s venom about Zelensky.

So Trump’s brilliant negotiating skills would give Putin everything on his wish list. - Ukraine surrenders territory - no NATO membership for Ukraine - US troops to withdraw from Europe - lifting of sanctions No assurances of Ukraine’s security in future.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Scrolling about in social media (not here) I continue to be shocked & disheartened at the amplification of anti-Cdn rhetoric. The info can be readily fact-checked & Trump’s claims disproven. I’ve yet to see a single official statistical report to support his claims. Yet we suffer a barrage of hate.

BREAKING: Ranking Member Raskin demands Attorney General Bondi halt illegal intimidation campaign targeting the DOJ’s Public Integrity Office.

Man...he literally nuked them from orbit. Thank God some people still remember their duty.

United Nations Charter : Trump is in violation as it pertains to Greenland, Canada, Panama, Gaza, and now Ukraine. He threatens their sovereignty every day.

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

Where does the accumulated debt of this country come from? It comes from Republican Presidents going back to Ronald Reagan. 3/4 of the accumulated debt of this country is due to Republican Presidents who didn't pay for their spending—so much for Republican's being the party of fiscal responsibility.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Yes it is. Right before our eyes

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

Ethnic cleansing. Trump is a monster.

Good work. Science will not be silenced. 🧪 🧬🧫🔬

America’s largest trading partner is Canada. In 2023 the deficit ranked 7th amongst all trade partners. US had surpluses with just 9% of all those with whom they trade. Fentanyl from Canada is 1% of total. Not a national security emergency but rather a plan to seize our resources & the Arctic.

1/ Canada is America’s 2nd largest trading partner, but #1 export market 2/ U.S. trade deficit with Canada is roughly US$45B in 2024, (not 200B), -0.2% of US GDP. Second lowest among trading partners 3/ Energy accounts for all of the U.S. trade deficit with Canada economics.td.com/ca-canada-us...

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Harris pledged to go after corporate greed to bring prices down. Trump raises import prices by 25%. Add in a bit more for additional corporate greed and it’s a formula that exceeds even that rate.

Perhaps all American allies who stand with Canada and Mexico should preemptively slap tariffs on the US since he is systematically threatening and picking them off one by one.

A long dark night has begun in America

Now that Trump has essentially torn up the North American Free Trade Agreement (USMCA) both Canada and Mexico are free to engage trade partnerships with other nations at will.Yes it will be painful but Trump has proven our reliance on the US is not sustainable since treaties/agreements are worthless

It was DJT who ordered Congress to reject the bipartisan immigration bill, which contained technological solutions and resources for addressing drugs & illegal immigrants. Meanwhile Canada announced vast changes to secure the border to address his concerns. He doesn’t want a legislative solution.

Trump stated he wouldn’t rule out using military means to annex Greenland and Panama. When asked if that applied to Canada he replied t he would do it using economic force. It’s never been about fentanyl and illegal migration. It’s our resources m.youtube.com/watch?v=oXRF...

I’m convinced a coup is underway.

Mark Carney today: “We will never ever bow down to a bully.”

Hostile takeover? www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Illegal migrants from Canada represent 1% while fentanyl amounted to 20kg compared to 9000k from Mexico. Illegal guns & cocaine flow North from U.S. to Canada. In Dec Trudeau announced addt’l resources at the border. Agreements with Trump are worthless.Unwarranted and punitive. Way to treat a friend

The president of the United States has publically declared that women, black/brown people and/or persons with disabilities have no merit as he casts about looking for his scapegoat to blame for this aviation tragedy.

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

Colombia regularly accepts the return of migrants. The pushback was against the grandstanding of military aircraft with reportedly handcuffed migrants. Stating a protocol was necessary to treat these individuals with human dignity was not a big ask. Trump escalated it big time!
