In Canada we give them tax breaks on fucking expensive Yachts. And we have idiots defending it, like it’s necessary and we need to treat rich people better. Partisan bullshit.

Exactly we agree. . So fucking speak up and call it out. We will find new trade partners. That relationship with the us is done. Trump is also not going to be around long. Best to call out the pedo while the world is watching.

What they don’t seem to get is that normal people hate pedophiles regardless of their political affiliation.

Who’s risking anything personally? Seriously. Witnessing a crime and not reporting it makes you complicit. Also, please take note that the entire world is arming itself. A conflict on some large scale is inevitable, capitalism loves the war machine. Best to be on the right side when that happens.

CEO of Keel Digital Solutions is Rob Godfrey, Paul Godfrey's son.

Godfrey is fmr prez and CEO of Postmedia, controlled by a NJ hedge fund of Trump's friends. They owned the National Enquirer, which ran catch and kill for Trump for decades.

Postmedia owns the vast majority of newspapers in Canada.

*not saying anything

It saying anything is pretending it’s ok. Just so you know. That’s how that works.

It will put pressure on them and perhaps trigger others to also condemn. It’s time for the world to do an intervention with the US. Pretending your neighbour is not a lunatic is also not healthy. Or safe. Fear is a mind killer.

Fuck dude. Please block me. You’re ridiculous. No one wants to respond to your fear monger questions. No one want to risk ANYTHING, but that doesn’t mean I want us to look away and not condemn shit. “They might get mad”. Fuck them, and good luck your quest to silence war crimes.

It will happen again. Trump
Is irrational, nothing will change that. Our PM kissing a pedos ass is embarrassing. And he will do
It again, so don’t you worry.

It’s a bullshit question. You are stoking fears about retribution which is the problem. It is not irrational to expect that government should condemn actions that threaten that. Trump is irrational and we need to accept that. Silence makes us complicit no matter how afraid you are of retribution.

The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

We should be speaking up. I’d rather our government stand against a bully who happens to be a criminal in EVERY sense of the word. I think our silence makes us complicit. And that is shitty.

Showing that she fits right in with the new direction of the GOP, Elise Stefanik defended her friends in the New York Young Republicans after they sent racist texts and praised Hitler

So I’m sure her gubernatorial campaign will go splendidly

Canada has lost its measles elimination status after more than 25 years TORONTO — The Public Health Agency of Canada says the country has officially lost its measles elimination status, which it had held since 1998. The federal agency says the Pan American Health Organiza...

Excuse my language, but fucking anti vaxxers who have no compassion or empathy for others caused this. Listen to Science not the keyboard warriors who think they know more than doctors.

In #Budget2025, Canada describes $2.7 billion in cuts to international assistance as “savings.”

But let’s be clear Mark Carney: aid cuts aren’t savings.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

For me it comes down to, if you still feel safe traveling to the US for any reason, it’s likely white privilege, because you don’t look like those being targeted. Which makes you a shitty person.
