Michael @deadder.bsky.social nails it again!
Such a distraction never ends well: I was involved when Argentina's Pres Galtieri waged war on the Falkland Islands, solely to distract his citizens from economic chaos & a vicious fascist crackdown.
649 Argentinians & 255 Brits died in the 10-week war.

I am willing to bet that a big part of that 27% only supports the strikes because they still believe the lie of proof of imminent attacks on the US.

This is what the war is about. More money for the wealthy at a terrible cost to everyone else.

Canada is seeking out people in the medical sector and helping them come here to work. We are offering jobs in other sectors as well. Your loss is our gain.

When people wonder why taxes are high, remember, it isn't immigrants (they work and pay taxes). It is yahoos like this that we pay a salary to, so they can waste time.

I think we can safely assume that every single one of these sycophants are hiding their connection to Epstein, because you have to be desperately hiding something to debase yourself that badly.

That's 360,000 people who lost jobs because of trump. 360,000 fewer people paying taxes to pay for schools, roads, fire depts., etc. Yes, there are fewer services, but the deficit is ballooning!

They are trying to force states into breaking away from the US just to save themselves. This is exactly what Putin has been trying to achieve. Trump has always been working for Russia.

If trump's lackeys are whining about the way Canada's negotiating, we know we are doing the right things.

Then let's find those files. I don't care what side of the aisle the perpetrators are on. Expose them all. Of course, people like Grothman will lie to try to protect Trump, but the solution is to release everything.

He talked about an inappropriate relationship with a mentee in the messages with Epstien. Has anyone at Harvard looked into that sexual misconduct, or is that not considered a problem? If he did it once, I am willing to bet that he did it many more times.

The opposite. We don’t want to visit and spend our money there anymore. They keep trying to say we hate Americans but we just hate the trump regime.

Everything he says is a confession. He is destroying the country.

Well, this Canadian thinks that Tennessee should only be referred to as Tanasi (original Cherokee name) from now on. I hope Baby Boy Todd (original names are very important) will take this with all the gravity it deserves.

Thrills gum is violet-flavoured. I saw it in a store with the retro candy a while ago. The sign on it just said - "yup - still tastes like soap".

Well, as someone else posted on here right after the game yesterday, we may have lost the gold medal but we still have a functioning democracy, so Canada’s good.

Like, Melania the movie terrible ratings low? That is seriously low.

We aren’t waiting it out anymore. We are redrawing world trading patterns to leave the US out. A deal with a US company isn’t worth the paper it is written on because Trump can change the parameters on a whim. It just isn’t worth the hassle if there is any other option - and we are seeking options.

I always loved visiting the US. I can see you from my front door. I could zip over for an afternoon or a weekend and did do that regularly. I will not be back until trump (and his puppet masters) are gone. I can’t support a corrupt regime.

They aren't voting that way because they care about the Constitution or the law. They voted that way because the tariffs hurt business, and money talks. A lot of the damage done by Trump's tariffs can't be undone anytime soon. The US is now considered unreliable. World markets are looking elsewhere.

Sadly, the damage has been done. The rest of the world has lost trust in the US.

Current screenshot of a few reviews of her movie. The word "flop" figures prominently.

"Movie Star" in the same way that she was a model?

Umm... could it be to deflect attention from the Epstein files? It seems to be a bit petty (even for him) to do it just to keep people from talking about how badly his wife's movie tanked, so I am going to stick with the Epstein files.

Maybe that’s true but it shouldn’t be. He should be vilified for his actions during his lifetime.
