Panem et circenses

“I need a new ballroom” “No” “Fine. I tore down the East Wing. Now I have to build a ballroom”. “Still no” “Fine. There was an “assassination” attempt, so for security reasons I need a ballroom”. “Still no and it’s getting tiresome.”

Are you telling me that Ukraine couldn’t use a mobile hospital? Besides, if the H5N1 predictions are right, we may need them anyway. apple.news/Aom0GL0XVT0-...

He truly has brought in the golden era of showers..

Washington Post - The US ends all military aid of Ukraine.

@markcarney2025.bsky.social please consider the Canada-Denmark land border on Hans Island. This can be used to apply for EU membership. You don’t have to go that far, but I guarantee it’s a bargaining chip the US wouldn’t see coming

For those that care about facts, the attached chart shows the size of the Canadian Federal Government as percent of the total population. Yes it it tracking higher, but it is by no means out of control.

The quicker the world accepts the fact that Trump is Krasnov and is willingly burning it all to the ground at the behest of his GRU handler - Putin - the better. The US can not be trusted. It breaks my heart to say it. Maybe the US survives, but the world is for ever changed and not for the better.

To my American brothers and sisters: we love you, but we’re done being your bitch. Maybe if you regain your senses, maybe we’ll come back maybe. www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article...

Thank you, Connor McDavid. Thank you Jordan Biddington.

What the hell? www.threads.net/@factpostnew...

Be honest now, who wants to see a journalist whip out a cat laser pointer at the next press conference and have Trump scurry across the floor of the Oval Office trying to catch the dot? The drooling imbecile is one bad hamburger from sitting on a park bench screaming at clouds and shrubs.

Read It All This is a very troubling Presidential Action. Only he can interpret laws. See the screenshot attached. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This is a little scary. #trump #whitehouse #independentagencies www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

In a stunning display of hubris and the complete inability to read the room, the US completes the first round of talks with Russia - but Ukraine was not in attendance? Besides the grandstanding and the attempt to be first in line to belly-up to the mineral trough, what the hell is the Us doing?

It sure why this was on Threads and not here.

How does Canada feel about becoming the 51st state? Hard pass. www.facebook.com/share/r/168X...

The Tangerine Twatwaffle is about to make US cars completely unaffordable. His plan is to stack the Canadian Steel and Aluminum tariffs on top of the previously announced ones - making them 50%. The US doesn’t have anywhere near the domestic capacity to meet their demand apple.news/AfERwu9kbQo2...

Trump tells us his marching orders from Putin: Ukraine is mine! Tell you what, Mango Mussolini, Canada isn’t yours. apple.news/ABLo4vxU7Rdu...

What is a tariff? It seems that we need a concrete example flying about. Please use this as you like.

Who had “Stealing the Gaza Strip” on their 2025 Dementia Don Bingo Card?

This is Hans Island. It lies between Greenland and Canada in the Franklin Channel. The Island is split between Canada and Denmark. That shared border means Canada could legally apply to join the EU. We don’t want to abandon the US, but we may not have a choice.

Tariffs need explaining: The US levies a 25% tariff on Canadian imports. The importer in the US pays that 25% to the US Treasury. The importer then recoups the 25% tariff by hiking prices to consumers. The 10% energy tariff will hit all electricity in the East and all oil and gas. Good luck.

Why does the US keep insisting it’s flex to the rest of the world is to repeatedly punch itself in the yam sack?

Ontario's Healthcare Problem is Doug Ford.

There’s an admittedly large part of me that wants to just let here idiots run riot. I’m not sure how much can be saved now anyway. No empire reverses the death spiral once it starts. The morons are about to see what they voted for. The problem is: apres la deluge, c’est quoi? What will be left?

CNN, why do you give airplay to an asshole like Scott Jennings? He will never tell the truth. He will always drive the Trump Narrative.

“Everybody deserves a fair shot.” Joe Biden Truer words.

Does anybody else find Doug Ford’s kumbaya TV and radio ads insulting and degrading? He never tells the truth and nobody calls him on it.

What happened to the truth? When did facts stop mattering. We can argue about the influence of those facts. We can debate how those facts will alter public opinion, but we still have to agree that the facts are indeed facts. Water freezes: fact. Lies are not just obfuscation: fact.

Next level trolling.

@cnn you report on the water bombers in LA. Any reason you don’t point out that they are Canadian bombers? Yes. We love you. We are your friends and neighbours. We realize the Tangerine Mousolini doesn’t represent you all, but a nod would be nice.

Moderate Covid has been shown (attached) to result In the loss of 3 IQ points. It also accounts for up to 5 years of brain aging. Severe COVID costs you 20 years of brain aging. The fact that there are 4 million more people with sub-70 IQs is terrifying. theconversation.com/mounting-res...

Kinda bullshit reffing last few Canada juniors games. No y sure if the outcome would have been different, but WTF?

America’s 10 largest health insurance companies made a profit of $70bn last year. Profit. $70bn. Look no further for the reason for expensive & crappy health care. With public healthcare, that money could be plowed into actual healthcare, rather than profits. www.investopedia.com/articles/act...

Anybody else want to take a shot at explaining trade deficits to this moron? apple.news/Aaw3FgHe1S_i...

Does it seem like the bulk of our politicians have completely forgotten that they are public SERVANTS? They work for us, FFS!

Trump using tariffs to try to stem the flow of drugs into the US is a pretty standard take from an addict. “My addiction is an affliction, you need to stop supplying me”. Perhaps if the US actually did something to temper their insane demand for opioids, the demand may flag as does the supply.

Good god Canada…you do not, I repeat…DO NOT want anything even close to the US healthcare system that kills millions every year and sucks dry the living

Just a thought: The Trump Admin is going to put a 25% tariff on Canada, in part because of border security - drugs and immigrants. Most of the guns used in crimes in Canada are smuggled from America. Most of the drugs in Canada come Across the US border. Maybe deal with your own crazy first.

My good boi. 120 pounds of love and aggravation. You don’t as much train huskies, as you do reach a compromise with them. He’s living the colder temperatures.
