Remember seeing this in real time? I do. And today I wonder if we will ever find an honest GOP Senator or Congressperson telling us “the emporer has no clothes”.

Last month, Canadian MP Elizabeth May countered ¡Qué Idiota!'s 51st state plan with an invitation to Washington, Oregon, and California to become the 11th, 12th, & 13th provinces. It appears to have gone well! Plus, "Canamerica" has the entire Pacific coastline to itself. Mexico might help you, DJT.

THREE-PART POST—1`ST What is with US pharmaceutical companies? You know, the ones referred to as BIG PHARMA! I filled a 30-day refill prescription in Toronto last month, submitted my claim for reimbursement myself, and received US$937.15 of the US$947.15 I had paid upfront.

2ND PART I'm back in the US for a few months and refilled the same prescription yesterday at Walgreens. I paid $10 of the US$ 4,442.20 cost. $4,442.20! That's 469% more for the same drug I got last month in Toronto. Why?

3rd PART - Why do we AMERICANS PAY SO MUCH MORE? And tariffs, even on prescriptions, haven't even started! He will kill us all, given the chance! 😠

Actions have consequences, #47. Dominos... 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸 = ?

A hypothetical map reminding us that actions do have consequences. This is only a part of what might be….

We left with snow on the ground and -6 C in the air. We arrived in sunny skies at 25 C! 😀

This goes with the two previous post of mine. The northern District of Nevada will go with the Trumpian State of California. Of course, this does not give any access to the Pacific Ocean for the trumpian State of California. # 47 – negotiate that with la presidenta de México, Sra. Sheinbaum.

Hypothetical outcome — the western portion of California will, by plebiscite, become the new Republic of California. The eastern portion of California will remain Trumpian. (The three southern congressional districts of Nevada may join with California as an independent republic renamed Calivada.

As a Permanent Resident of Canada, I joined the Liberal Party of Canada earlier this month. I am tremendously excited that I can cast my vote for new Leadership of the party in March 2025! 🇨🇦

theonion.com/mark-zuckerb... O, the lengths the targeted will go to appease the bully!

3] make Canada the 51st state. (Or is it the 51st, 52nd, 53rd, 54th, 55th, 56th, 57th, 58th, 59th, 60th states, plus three territories? The British colonies north of the thirteen original US states rejected an invitation to be part of the US 250 years ago and would do the same in 2025.)

2] rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America,” saying that has [SIC] a “beautiful ring to it”. Personally, I like The Gulf of Mississippi, although the most correct might be Hurricane Gulf. It would take an act of Congress and doesn’t carry any weight internationally. And,

NOTE: Denmark’s sovereignty over Greenland was confirmed in 1921 with recognition by the United States. (On 20 Dec. 2024, King Frederik changed the Danish Coat of Arms for the first time in 500 years, signalling, “Back off, Prez!”.)

1] military force to seize control of the Panama Canal, part of the sovereign nation of Panamá 🇵🇦, and Greenland 🇬🇱, an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark 🇩🇰, declaring U.S. control of both vital to American national security.

Any one of these threatening statements is ridiculous, not to mention embarrassing for Americans! They are examples of why I have used the moniker ¡Qué Idiota! for more than eight years! You know who I mean. 🤡 The three are in separate posts:

Being new to Canada, specifically to Toronto, I wanted to learn about some of the city’s significant, including quirky, buildings. This is page 1. Enjoy this little project one page at a time. All at once night be too much.

I applied for permanent residency in late Sept. 2023, with a 13-month processing time. We planned its approval for just before the election in Nov. 2024. It only took 7 months & settled in late July. We'll return to the US if there is still a republic and the US Constitution. ❤️Toronto 🇨🇦

I’m happily a Torontonian, but still have a home in St. Petersburg only 25 metres from Tropicana Field where the Tampa Bay Devil Rays played MLB. Not until the 2026-27 season though, thanks to Hurricane Milton. A tip of my hat to the Rays!
