No.

Fill potholes and pick up garbage.

If you don't name the ideology that led to this (without qualifiers), you are dishonouring every single individual who died on that day. Be courageous. Fight those who wish to enslave us.

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

If they really thought they were just unbiased interpreters of the law, may I suggest that public criticism wouldn't bother the Supreme Court of Canada. The mere existence of offence betrays how they really see their role.

[Tristin Hopper @TristinHopper]

The fact that they hate being criticized so much is probably a good sign that they should be criticized more. They're far more dangerous when they think they're getting away with it.

[Tristin Hopper @TristinHopper]

Only Canada could hitch a ride aboard the Americans' new moon rocket and then immediately bitch about how their U.S. ties are a weakness. We're the nation-state equivalent of Jaden Smith.

[Kirk Lubimov @KirkLubimov]

Mark Carney decided to release another fear mongering statement to do to keep the charade going;

"Many of our former strengths based on our close ties to America have become our weakness."

No, Canada won the lottery being right next to the largest economy in the world and selling to them with the best trade deal in the world.

The problem is that we squandered it all with red tape and lack of ambition to do anything and build anything ourselves.
We got so used to thinking we can just make more money off the US which gave us the false confidence that we can solve the world's problems with carbon tax, mass immigrating refugees and virtue signaling.

In other words, Canada became delusional, ungrateful and complacent.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

And with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.

The fault lies with your leadership, elected by you.

[Rick Rule @RealRickRule]

Sir, I’ve followed your climate projections for decades. May I observe that your track record seems unblemished by success

[Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith]

How about this for building a “Team Canada 🇨🇦” approach?

1. Stop threatening the livelihoods of tens of thousands of Albertans & Canadians via an energy export tax or ban.

2. Immediately start construction on the Northern Gateway & Energy East pipelines to diversify our customer base to Europe, Asia and our own country

3. Tell Germany, Japan and the rest of the world that there is, in fact, a “business case” for Canadian oil and gas to be sold to them

4. Repeal the unconstitutional and job killing production cap, electricity regs and C-69

5. Treat with respect, and as an equal partner, the Alberta taxpayers that have been transferring hundreds of billions to Quebec, the Maritimes and even Ontario, for decades.

Let’s start there on building our “Team Canada” approach shall we?

Beto O’Rourke and John Brennan owe Donald Trump a public apology. If you call someone a traitor and it turns out you lacked the evidence for that charge, then the only decent thing to do is apologize. https://t.co/DQTl5bGTf4

Patriotism is a form of nationalism, the two ideas are closely related. The opposite of nationalism would be anarchy or open-border global governance. Not only is Macron completely wrong, it's an idiotic message to draw on the anniversary of the end of WWI https://t.co/DDCdE7SaUC
