I'm a proud Canadian. I have an English degree from the University of Toronto. I follow politics across the planet. I'm a supporter of democracy and I am against fascists. Is that asking too much?

"We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." — Commonly attributed to Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

Why isn't this the lead story in every American newspaper, and every American newscast, on TV and radio? Why has America got its head clear up its ass? If a country can't find its spine to fight a child rapist, what good is that country to itself and to the world. America, you are disgusting!

Canadian nationalist citizen in Alberta voted overwhelmingly to remain in Canada. They resisted the sirens call from U.S. dirty tricksters. America, CANADA DOES NOT WANT TO JOIN YOU! WE ARE PROUD TO BE CANADIAN! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?

The 22 mins had this sketch cooking for a while right? They even knew Alberta wouldn't vote to leave Canada. 😂😂😂

Gavin Newsom is a wolf, in Sheep's clothing. The fact that he was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle, says everything about his lack of judgment. He's the worst kind of politician; a man who speaks out of both sides of his mouth.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

It appears that America no longer has a problem with treason. When a country is presented with the truth, that country either has has to act....or not. This isn't rocket science folks. It comes down to whether that nation wants to remain a democracy.

Elon Musk has spent at least $366 million since July to boost Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. That’s just 0.0385% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

America isn't a cohesive, and coherent democracy. America is a shopping mall with nuclear weapons. It's a country that prays to the god of money, and fails to see the humanity in its own people. It had so much promise, and lost it to a convicted felon, a convicted rapist. The truth is hard to bare.

Career staff at the CFTC were investigating suspiciously timed trades surrounding Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would not bomb Iranian power plants. Then a senior adviser to Trump’s CFTC commissioner told them to back off. Could this administration get any more corrupt?

He's easy to manipulate. Appeal to his ego; give him something shiny and expensive; convice him someone is against him; he'll roll over and do whatever you want.
