They are busy undermining democracy at home, so why would he support it in other countries?

The new Conservatives are anything but conservative. They don't want to conserve anything, just break things and tear them down. They are incapable of creating anything of value.

Canada is the top source of international visitors to the United States, with 20.4 million visits in 2024, generating $20.5 billion in spending and supporting 140,000 American jobs. - US Travel Association

Americans have no clue about us, and they're kinda proud of it.

As I recall it was just a couple of years ago Canadians were too ashamed and embarrassed to be waving flags on Canada Day.

"Do you know how much you have to mess up for Quebecers to be waving Canadian flags and sharing pro-Canadian memes?"

You are absolutely correct. The Gilded Age of robber barons and railroad monopolies. McKinley was owned by oligarchs like JP Morgan, John D Rockerfeller and Cornelius Vanderbilt. It ended badly for him.

Gorgeous! An unusual combination of mediums. Which part is the oil pastel?

Some minimalization happening here! Ironically, I stepped out of the car and into 3 ft of snow...I must have looked like a turtle flipped upside down trying to regain my footing! #Photography #EastCoastKin #blackandwhite

Good point. During the War of 1812 the Southern Rebublicans were reluctant to support the invasion of Canada because they feared if it became part of the USA they would vote Federalist and anti-slavery. See Alan Taylor's excellent book, The Civil War of 1812.

Is Trump right about the U.S. 'subsidizing' Canada? | About That
YouTube video by CBC News Is Trump right about the U.S. 'subsidizing' Canada? | About That

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trumpβ€˜s constant claim that the United States is β€œsubsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

I doubt Putin actually believes any of that claptrap about NATO fighting a proxy war against russia in Ukraine blah blah blah. It's just a lame excuse to justify a naked grab for land, resources and power, just the same as his beloved Soviets and tsars before him.

Okay, I just finished a brutal 2 day battle with the #norovirus. Nasty business. Violent diarrhea and vomiting. It seems to have broken this morning. Wash your hands.
