Michael de Adder and Charlie Angus show the absurdity of shutting down the Gordie Howe Bridge.

Every day, 1,500 nurses from Canada go to help keep Detroit’s health care system going. I personally think those nurses should be working in Canada.

A billionaire bought the Washington Post as a vanity project & fires reporters who spoke truth to power. When people like Bezos decide who gets to tell the world’s hardest stories, truth erodes. That’s when democracy dies in darkness. My latest article👇 caolan.report/democracy-ha...

Debunk the fearmongering lie!
Reality: "undocumented immigrants have SUBSTANTIALLY lower crime rates than native-born citizens & legal immigrants..."
US citizens:
- 2 X more likely to be arrested for violent crimes
- 2.5 X more likely re drug crimes
- 4 X more likely re property crimes
The mask reveals who you are.

Traduzi o discurso impactante do 1o. Ministro Canadense Mark Carney ao português:
"Estamos em meio a uma ruptura, não a uma transição. [...] Enfrentamos o mundo ativamente como ele é, sem esperar por um mundo como desejamos que seja."

Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion By Robert Fife, Gavin John
Canada does not have the number of military personnel or the sophisticated equipment needed to fend off a conventional American attack, they said. So, the military envisions unconventional warfare in which small groups of irregular military or armed civilians would resort to ambushes, sabotage, drone warfare or hit-and-run tactics. One of the officials said the model includes tactics used by the Afghan mujahedeen in their hit-and-run attacks on Russian soldiers during the 1979-1989 Soviet-Afghan War. These were the same tactics employed by the Taliban in their 20-year war against the U.S. and allied forces that included Canada. Many of the 158 Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2014 were struck by improvised explosive devices or IEDs. The aim of such tactics would be to impose mass casualties on U.S. occupying forces, the official said. The aim of such tactics would be to impose mass casualties on U.S. occupying forces, the official said.
Conscription has been ruled out for now, but the level of sacrifice that would be asked of Canadians remains a central topic, the officials said. General Jennie Carignan, Chief of the Defence Staff, has already announced her intention to create a 400,000-plus-strong reserve force of volunteers. The officials said they could be armed or asked to provide disruptions if the U.S. becomes an occupying power. A senior Defence Department official said Canada would have a maximum of three months to prepare for a land and sea invasion. The first indications that invasion orders had been sent would be expected to come from U.S. military warnings that Canada no longer has a shared skies policy with the United States, the source said. This rupture in the joint defence agreement would likely see France or Britain, nuclear-weapon states, being called on to provide support and defence for Canada against the U.S.

In short, we'd take cues from the mujahideen.
"The aim of such tactics would be to impose mass casualties on U.S. occupying forces..."

Brilliant musical satire by Gillespie (So much Canadiana!):
In the 1st video the Beaver Army tells the Orange Invader "HANS OFF!" Greenland,
and in the 2nd video it's the Cobra Chickens of the RCAF that come to Greenland's rescue.

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell:

www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...
The USA already has a defence agreement with Denmark that gives them exclusive and full military access to Greenland. But they are not using it. They have downgraded their presence by 99%. Now, apparently, they are telling their base that they need to invade and annex Greenland because they need to have a large military presence.
They never say the truth...

Charlie left Parliament to lead The Resistance (mainly because of disappointment with the NDP). You should definitely check his channel, starting from around last April.
Join The Resistance and Elbows Up!
Here he tells the story how it all started:

Au contraire! You should follow The Resistance by Charlie Angus. You would know about the planned new citizen reserve force, the active decoupling and other measures. As good Canadians we don't make a big fanfare about it, but you can get a summary in this episode: youtu.be/V-_yfBLe8zk

@parismarx.com: The US attack on Venezuela, the sanctioning of ICC, UN, and European officials shows that digital sovereignty is paramount. Countries need to accelerate efforts to carve themselves out of dependence on the United States.
