Guys, I can’t do another one. I will retire to run a bar in Malta if this happens.

That's quite the argument. Imagine submitting a high school paper with that kind of premise.

What happened to the adults?

Wow, what a tear down. So happy there's at least one adult in the room.

Can you imagine hiring a company like that to provide a service to your home? It would NEVER happen.

I sure hope the arm of the law grows some length in the US.

I've seen Canada labelling on American products; particularly, within the online ecosystem. You gotta dig to find out the true origin.

I went to Canadian Tire today and noticed Canadian products promoted, including screwdrivers made in Vancouver, BC.

#Republican senator #TimSheehy, deliberately broke the hand of a US marine, for voicing the view that entering an illegal war of choice on behalf of another country (Israel), not on behalf of the United States, is not what Americans want.

What a disgusting disgrace the #GOP is. #IranWar

Out of all of the gods, I don't think there's a single one in the firmament that is going to save the United States from itself.

Spot the difference between the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Canada?

I certainly do.

The world is indeed small when proximity to one another no longer ensures productive relationships and meaningful friendships.

So long, America.

Canada is not a Christian nation. It is a nation where you are free to be a Christian β€” or any other faith, or no faith at all.

Prime Minister Carney meet with an executive of Rio Tinto in Sydney, Australia.

Canada and Australia are both mining giants. Rio Tinto is one of the largest multinational mining companies. I met with their Chief Executive in Sydney today to discuss the future of Canada’s mining sector β€” how we can grow it to create greater security and prosperity.

For the first time, I agree with her 100%. She may object to the fact, but that does little to diminish the fact.

I consider her response the first bold step for the administration. πŸ™ƒ

Spit balling here, but I believe Netanyahu and Trump sit on the Board of Peace, and that that former is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes.

This shit was not on my BINGO card for 2026.

The look of diaper rash on an asshole.

It seems the US is out of salve because Trump is still rattling his scabbard at anyone who dares to defy his executive orders.
