While the "Epstein Administration" won't end with the midterm elections, hopefully it will at least have its wings clipped.

Most of the people who attend Trump rallies do not want to be governed, they want to be entertained and to have their own behaviours and prejudices validated by someone in power. It's funny that the those who suffer the most from his policies, decisions and actions the people attending his rallies.

If his lips are moving he is telling a lie. If his lips are not moving he is about to tell a lie.

Mf’er is like Batman.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani's guiding principles seem to be "If we should do it we shall do it!" and from the John Wick movies, "how you do anything is how you do everything". He must be the hardest worker in the room, always!

This song by Canadian songwriter/balladeer David Francey really captures what is happening to American Farmers right now because of your president's actions. youtu.be/F6eNqyKSO5E?...

insight into a low IQ stooge

The President clearly has some sort of "syndrome". Is it CES, Carney Envy Syndrome? or Is it CDS, Canada Derangement Syndrome? or both?

I wonder what would happen if someone asked the President what a data centre does or perhaps had the nerve to ask him what AI is. Does he even know, or does he just know that he, his family and his "friends" are making money, and of course, that is all that really matters in the US right now.

Biden wanting to reduce student debt was opposed by Republicans. Trump offering $5000 each American adult if the Republicans win the midterms is called "creative thinking" by the Speaker. The Republican Party exists in name only, it is now essentially a subsidiary of the The Trump Organization.

The President of the USA is in uncharted territory. Canada has a population of just over 41 million people and not one of us cares or fears what he says or does. His latest big threat, "I'm going to change change the name of a lake." That might bother us if we were as petty and pitiful as he is.

Iran wants to see "corrected behaviour" before opening the Strait of Hormuz. They act as if they think they are dealing a toddler, or perhaps a rebellious teenager. Doesn't look like "they really want to make a deal", looks more like Iran is "holding all the cards".

Did Carney cave, again?

So we fully paid for the Gordie Howe bridge to improve access to US markets. The US dictated that it will will now get get half of the revenues and continues at add/increase tariffs on Canadian goods, restricting access to those markets. How does Canada benefit from the $6B spent on the bridge?

What is up with the Prime Minister of Canada calling the illegal US war with Iran "totally worth it"? If he truly believes this he is humiliating himself and our country, if he doesn't believe it but is saying it to gain favour with the US President, he is humiliating himself and our country.

So Mark Rutte says that the President of the United States of America is disappointed with NATO allies, I wonder if any NATO allies are disappointed with him? Why can't Mark Rutte or other "world leaders" communicate their true feelings, like say Pedro Sánchez, the Prime Minister of Spain?

How is it possible that the US President rationalizes Putin/Russia suppling intelligence to Iran (gives them a pass) and that Republicans are okay with this? If this intelligence already has or does result in US casualties, should this not be an issue for them, and indeed for all Americans?

This is the only way forward.

You have more in common with the most far flung immigrant than you do the billionaires and companies who are pushing us towards even more hardship.

I’m just a Canadian, looking at her fellow Canadians, begging them to connect the dots between rising anti immigrant sentiment and what is happening in the states.

Might be time to re-evaluate the "roll over and play dead" strategy that the Canadian government has adopted in dealing the USA. While Canada "negotiates" the US "dictates". We may have dropped our elbows prematurely?

Did I read somewhere that DOGE suggested replacing the US Supreme Court with an actual $10 "Executive Order rubber stamp", resulting in a savings of about $200M annually?

Could we not have used the stuck to our gun s on the Digital Services Tax and said "we can talk about it in trade negotiations"? Did we just give away one of our best bargaining chips for seemingly nothing in return?
