The biggest challenge to Canada is not what is going on in the USA, it is what is going on in our provincial governments. Federal Liberals are going gangbusters to build Canada while Ford, Smith and what's-his-name in Quebec are abusing Federal Funds to pursue their own agenda's.
Ontario a wild place. A decade of Trudeau was torture but 7 years of Ford ain’t LOL?? Y’all know in this means Fords been around for 70% of Trudeau’s tenure right? You know that Ford is responsible for YOUR everyday life right? The Feds don’t run provinces😂😂
Honestly I kind of figured that the Conservative Party of Canada was done scraping the bottom of the barrel for "new" leadership. But here we are with Pierre Poilievre, a career politician who has accomplished absolutely nothing for 20 yrs is supposedly here to offer "change".
How a Greek reporter for the New York Times got an Ontario scoop the Canadian media missed.
I’d noticed that the Therme company that was given public land is not the Therme that runs nice spas elsewhere. But Matina realized the province had been deceived about this distinction
When I moved to Toronto in August, in my neighborhood, in meetings & social gatherings, I kept hearing about Ontario Place & the Ontario govt contract w a European company to build a spa/water park. It felt like something that mattered to people so I decided to look into it
1939: Hitler isn't going to invade Poland. That's crazy! Germans won't support it.
2014: Putin isn't going to invade Ukraine. That's crazy! Russians won't support it.
2025: Trump isn't going to invade Canada and Greenland (Denmark). That's crazy! Americans won't support it.
Saw this on Linked In…powerful….
We will never forget.
"Dear 77,301,997 Americans who voted for Trump,
Being Canadian has never been about shouting the loudest. We don’t pound our chests or demand attention. We are sometimes like the quiet kid on the playground, just wanting to get along with others. We hold doors, say sorry even when it’s not our fault, and shovel our neighbour’s driveway just because it’s the right thing to do. We believe in fairness, decency, and looking out for one another.
We are the world’s greatest neighbour… and yes, our spelling is the correct one. We show up. In the words of our Prime Minister on Saturday night, “from the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of the Korean Peninsula, from the fields of Flanders to the streets of Kandahar, we have fought and died alongside you during your darkest hours. During the summer of 2005, when Hurricane Katrina ravaged your great city of New Orleans, or mere weeks ago, when we sent water bombers to tackle the wildfires in California, and during the day the world stood still — Sept. 11, 2001 — when we provided refuge to stranded passengers and planes, we were always there, standing with you”.
And yet, here we are – watching your president, a man who built his legacy on bullying, turn his sights on us. He mocks us, belittles us, and treats us like some inconvenience rather than the ally who has stood by you through thick and thin.
It’s easy to mistake our politeness for passivity, or our kindness for weakness. But here’s the thing about the quiet kid on the playground: push that kid far enough, and that kid pushes back.
Canada has never needed to boast about its strength. We just prove it. On battlefields. In boardrooms. On the ice. So, if you think you can push us around and take us for granted – think again. You think we will become your “cherished 51st state” – think again. Underestimate us… that will be fun. Because the quiet kid? The quiet kid remembers. And when the quiet kid finally stands up, the whole playground takes notice.
Now we are pissed.
Sincerely,
Canada"
Canada has been gaslit into “hating” a leader who’s done absolutely nothing worth hating. In fact, quite the opposite. He’s been transformative, successful and has protected us. Money is evil and it has spun a false narrative around a completely good and innocent human.
As a Canadian I want Americans to stop telling me how bad they feel.
I don’t care.
I’m volunteering in Ukraine while the USA is helping russia slaughter Ukrainians and threatening to destroy and annex Canada.
I have no emotional energy left to give you absolution.
Sorry.
You can use two military personnel as props all you like. You don't fool this woman who was raised military. You gut the VA services; you fired 30 percent of federal employees which are veterans and disparage those veterans who are volunteering their own lives to fight in Ukraine. Nice try but you can't pull the wool over this woman's eyes. Show me one damn post where you posted on Veteran's Day, the 4th of July, June 6th D-Day. You know why? Because you are fake as hell, and you dodged your own mandatory service in SA and ran to Canada when you were 17 to hide under your mother's apron. FACT.
That time @marcorubio explained how USA, Russia & the UK promised Ukraine to provide for their defense forever if they gave up the huge stockpile of nuclear weapons left in the country after the Soviet Union fell.
Good times.
Let’s get this straight from the outset. The sole intent of this meeting in the Oval Office, was a tag team mugging designed specifically to disgracefully humiliate a war time president in front of the world’s media, for the sole purpose of gaining leverage.
Just one problem, Zelenskyy hadn’t read the script. He was OK until JD Vance lit the blue touch paper looking for Zelenskyy to get down on his knees and show gratitude to a president, who had spent his entire campaign attempting to block military aid to Ukraine. JD Vance has been the chief cheerleader to not give Ukraine a cent. So tell me, who was Zelenskyy supposed to thank? Did they plan to invite Joe Biden into the room?
The reality of the situation is, Zelenskyy is viewed as an obstruction to their attempted extortion of his nation’s mineral wealth. So it’s no surprise Lady Lyndsay Graham is now calling for his resignation. The Ukrainian president owes no loyalty to this administration, all they have ever done is try to starve him of military aid which they did successfully for six months resulting in thousands of Ukrainian soldiers losing their lives.
Meanwhile, the President of the United States has unilaterally decided to align with a Russian war criminal. Trump has demanded nothing from Putin by way of reparations for Russian aggression. Instead, preferring to insist Ukraine pay reparations as the VICTIM of an illegal invasion. To really twist the knife, he is illegally attempting to convert lawfully appropriated funds, retrospectively to a loan.
$183 billion dollars of aid has been appropriated, NOT $350 billion as claimed by Trump. 70% of the military aid funding, has been spent in arms manufacturing plants across America, providing jobs and profits to those companies. You won’t be surprised to note that many Republicans hold stocks in those companies too. In many cases the newly manufactured hardware has gone into U.S. stock, while the older stocks have been shipped to Ukraine.
These same plants have also been paid by NATO allies and European countries who supplied aid to Ukraine. I’d really like to take a look at the premiums that were added to these orders.
The U.S. has been the primary economic benefactor of the Ukraine war, while simply drip feeding just enough hardware for Ukraine to hold off the Russian army. At every twist and turn Ukraine has been exploited, so Zelenskyy has every right to be pissed off and say enough of this shit.
Here’s where we are. The Trump Administration has every intention of throwing Ukraine under the bus as a favor to Putin, so that Trump can align America with Russia. Bizarre really, when you consider it’s an economic basket case feeding its soldiers on out of date rations. The only beneficiary of this realignment is Putin. He needs sanctions lifting quickly before his economy collapses.
This geopolitical move by Trump effectively destabilizes European security, because the lifting of sanctions will allow Putin to regroup, then take another stab at Ukraine before moving on to the Balkan states.
European and the NATO allies must stop thinking they can rehabilitate their abuser. It can’t be done. When a bully steals your lunch money today, rest assured he’ll be back tomorrow.
It’s time to rip off the bandaid. Revoke the leases on all US bases, in the interests of the global threat presented by the Russo-American alliance. Invite South Korea, Australia and New Zealand into a new alliance. Cancel all military contracts and current licenses for military tech to the U.S.
It’s time for a new global alliance. This can then form the foundation for a new economic alliance to rival the dollar. This can be done, there just has to be the will to do it.
America has now declared war on the world, so it’s time to demonstrate that the world has had enough. We need to STOP living in fear of our abuser.
TODAY WE ARE ALL UKRAINIAN

Lest We Forget.
In 1994, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for security assurances from Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. This agreement was formalised in the Budapest Memorandum.
