Never forget, Trump and Doge did more than cut funding to beef screwworm monitoring; they cut everything meant to keep working people safe. Canadians should think twice before buying anything edible from America, because there's a good chance it's hazardous to their health!
Something smells re Trump going to MSG for the Nicks game. Normally the stink is him, but that’s not what I mean. He knows he’s gonna get booed and cause chaos at the entrances. He’s hated in NY. So why’s he going? I smell another fake assassination attempt on the horizon.
Politics in Canada has certainly turned ugly in the last ten years. I believe this is fuelled by the CPC and foreign interests in our country. Let PM Carney have his term and see how he does. The people will decide whether he’s doing a good job or not. This constant bitching and moaning by the CPC has ruined their party.
During a hearing in the U.S. Congress today, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked whether he was aware that Greenland is part of Denmark. His response was: “For now.”
It is worth recalling a few basic facts.
Greenland’s future is for the Greenlandic people to decide, in accordance with the 2009 Self-Government Act, which recognizes the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination. That decision will not be made in Washington, but in Greenland.
Until the Greenlandic people decide otherwise, Greenland remains part of the Kingdom of Denmark. This status is recognized under international law, where respect for national sovereignty and territorial integrity is among the most fundamental principles of the international order.
Greenland is also part of NATO through the Kingdom of Denmark. The United States has maintained a significant military presence in Greenland for decades and at one point operated up to 17 military bases and installations across Greenland. Under the 1951 Defense Agreement between Denmark and the United States, later updated through the 2004 Igaliku Agreement, signed in Igaliku, Greenland, by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, Denmark and Greenland, the United States already has the ability to establish or reopen military facilities in Greenland in cooperation with Denmark and Greenland.
There is therefore no security rationale that justifies discussions about American ownership of Greenland.
The idea of purchasing territories or acquiring parts of sovereign countries belongs to another era. That is not how modern allies conduct themselves in the 21st century.
If members of the U.S. administration believe that such statements enjoy broad support among the Greenlandic people, they are gravely mistaken. Political signals from Greenland have repeatedly shown that Greenlanders expect their right to determine their own future to be respected.
Neither Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, nor any future American president should decide Greenland’s future.
That right belongs exclusively to the Greenlandic people, in accordance with the Self-Government Act and the international principle of self-determination.
Greenland’s future belongs to the people of Greenland. Not Washington. Not any other capital. The decision belongs to the Greenlandic people — and to them alone. Period.

I'd like to thank Donald Trump and Pete Hoekstra for reminding us about this 51st State nonsense every now and then, so we can remember why we don't buy American products, spend our tourism dollars elsewhere, and generally make sure we know you're still assholes.
This morning, Pete Hoekstra, @USAmbCanada, used his official account to push the 51st state idea.
He's downplayed that in the past, now he's pushing it.
If this is what he believes, perhaps it's time for the Carney government to ask him to leave.

@jeffkhamilton Men like that know that young cashiers are essentially trapped so they seek out these situations. He likely walked to the next store to continue his behaviour
