Just a fun loving retired guy who enjoys thoughtful discussions. If you don't think Canada is a fantastic country maybe your the problem. I will follow back until someone posts something stupid then I block. All MAGA are stupid.

Update: This post was from back when Lecce was Education Minister in the Ford government. 42% of respondents in Ontario gave him a negative grade so what did Ford do? Promoted him to a new job, with more responsibility. That is so Ford 😒
When we asked about Education Minister Stephen Lecce, 15% have a positive view of him compared with 42% who have a negative view. It is time for Lecce to find a day job. abacusdata.ca/ford-education…

Under the Official Residences Act of Canada only elected officials may stay in free taxpayer funded Official Residences. Pierre Poilievre is not an elected person any more. Time to move. chng.it/pyfQsbRR2C

A reminder that @theguardian.com pay Simon Jenkins for this quality of commentary. When he isn't: a) writing uninformed bilge; b) pointing out the obvious; c) he has a third strand up his sleeve: contradicting himself.

Tim Pool has spun up Trump's rhetoric of invading Canada, fantasizing about destroying our economy until "our will to resist" an actual invasion "will erode." thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...
Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president. Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

🚨 THIS IS A RED ALERT FOR ALL AMERICAN WORKERS. If you think this administration will stop at eliminating unions for federal workers, you need to get your head examined. These billionaires are coming for our right to organize as workers. ALL of us.

If only they had money. And power. And influence.
Business leaders all across America are freaking out that Trump's tariffs will kneecap their firms. “There’s an overriding sense of helplessness” among executives. “CEOs are feeling stunned, and they’re not used to feeling like they don’t have good moves.” (gift link)

Republicans want to change the budget rules to obscure the cost of extending $4 trillion tax cuts to benefit the wealthy. But pretending it's free doesn't make it so.

The government serves We the People, not any god. Oklahoma’s SCR2 is Christian nationalism, plain and simple—an unconstitutional power grab that tramples on the rights of non-Christians and the nonreligious.
Oklahoma’s SCR2 is a blatant violation of the First Amendment. Government has no business declaring “Christ is King” in a nation founded on religious freedom. This Christian nationalist stunt excludes millions of non-Christians & undermines democracy.
