So many will be discouraged by this map and conclude their vote doesn’t matter, everyone needs to remember that far more voters didn’t vote, than either candidate secured in the election. These kind of maps and articles become self fulfilling by discouraging voters… VOTE!

Photo listing the names of the victims of the Polytechnique MontrΓ©al massacre.

Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique MontrΓ©al 36 years ago.

Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence β€” and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.

Whether this is categorized as a police action or a military action won’t matter, this is either a murder or a war crime. Whichever you choose the people involved in ordering and carrying out those orders must be prosecuted as murderers or war criminals.

Real wages (after inflation) were growing at 2.0% last year. Now it’s 0.8% β€” β€œclearly playing into what the majority of American households would define as an affordability crisis.”

We will be our own best customer β€” and build big with Canadian workers, Canadian technology, and Canadian materials.

The Trump regime has given us a wake-up call. We cannot allow Canada to be reliant on any country the way we are on the U.S. We need to run our country as we decide, that can't happen when another country will not honour their agreements and then hold our wellbeing hostage to their demands.

This should make the β€œFentanyl Tariffs” difficult to justify on national security grounds, assuming the Supreme Court wasn’t already in Trump’s pocket.

I think you’ll all discover that your constitution isn’t worth the paper it was written on. The only way you’ll β€œunfuck” your country is to write a significant number of amendments, and there’s no way in hell that’ll happen. Too bad.

Your Supreme Court has made prosecution of the President a near impossibility, that protection should not extend to the cabinet members and certainly doesn't extend to the military members that carried out this illegally ordered murder of the injured. This is a clear war crime.

The U.S. will not be part of the ICC, because they want to be able to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity without prosecution risk. There are a large and increasing number of Americans, however, that are going to have to be careful what countries they travel to in the future. Arrest them!

Lots of people are mad that Trump and his regime constantly violate the constitution… they should be mad that Congress and the courts don’t enforce the constitution!

So the U.S. regime gets upset about "foreign interference" when Canada runs an ad trying to influence tariffs that directly hurt Canada, but then try to influence policies that have absolutely nothing to do with the U.S. Time to call the U.S. ambassador in and then send him home. Enough of the U.S.

That's fine, as long as you think one candidate is equally bad or good as the other. One candidate is going to win, there is no election I'm aware of where the candidate was perfect, so the electorate is always making a choice between the lesser/better of the two, not giving carte blanche on mandate

In fact, it should be viewed as 2/3 of eligible voters supported Trump. 1/3 by voting for him and the other 1/3 by not voting. If the 1/3 that didn't vote were going to vote for him anyway it would only increase his win margin, if they would have voted for Harris, by not voting they helped him win.

Where I live, Standard Time in the summer means the sun would rise at 4:00 in June and set and 20:00. So, by staying on ST, I gain an hour of daylight when I'm sleeping & lose an hour of daylight when I can actually enjoy it... No thanks. btw most people switch their weekend sleep by an hour anyway.

There are huge opportunities for Canada and Norway to collaborate on energy,Β defence, and clean technology.

At the G20 Summit, Prime Minister StΓΈre and I discussed how we can work together to build up these industries for our workers and businesses.

While some people may be surprised by this (and other Trump inhumanities), no one should be. As to who voted for this, 1/3 of eligible voters actively voted for it and another 1/3 effectively supported Trump by not voting in the most consequential election in the last 100 years (at least).

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

The U.S. under the Trump regime has made it clear that no country can or should rely on the U.S. for its' economic and defensive capabilities. Allies are necessary in the world, but reliance on any one nation is existentially dangerous. Economic and technological dependence is at least as dangerous.

Consistent with the Trump regime so far. Well, maybe for a while jobs won't be as strong as we said, and prices may not come down, in fact tariffs may raise prices for a while, and the wars we were going to solve as soon as we got in are hard because the combatants are unreasonable. Liars & idiots.

1/3 of eligible voters voted for him, and 1/3 couldn’t be bothered to vote in the most consequential election in the last 100 years. He’s in power, for the second time, because 2/3 of Americans supported him…either directly or indirectly.
