O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
............
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our WHITE HOUSE was still there;
….Wait…What?

Please explain to PM Trump, of the province of the USA, that when he puts on a retaliatory tariff on Canada, our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

Trump is worse than Joachim Van Ribbentrop

Apple Maps still showing Gulf of Mexico when displayed in Canada and the rest of the world.

I guess this is enough to fool the Orange Felon.

It's ok. I have changed the name of the Gulf of Alaska to the Gulf of British Columbia by the powers invested in me by nobody. It's the same authority used by the First Felon, no?

I hereby, as a citizen of British Columbia, rename the Gulf of Alaska to the Gulf of British Columbia. I will not be answering any questions on the decisions as it is final.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has hit back at Donald Trump's threat to use "economic force" to absorb Canada into the US saying there isn't "a snowball's chance in hell" to join the two.

Canada will annex Washington, Oregon and California before the convicted felon ever tries to annex Canada

If the GOP is successful in shutting down the government then what will happen on Jan. 6th when Congress is supposed to meet to certify the election of the convicted felon?

Many GOP members of Congress are calling for the shutdown to last until Jan. 20th. Has President-Elect Musk thought of this?

Besides, I wonder if the felon has received approval from President-elect Musk before posting his ludicrous ramblings.

I don't know one single Canadian who would even remotely entertain the 'convicted felon's' delusional ranting re Canada becoming the 51st state. The felon is well on his way to turning 50 states into a banana republic. And, that's an insult to bananas.

Convicted criminal Trump displays his complete ignorance and childish behaviour every time he opens his mouth.

I think CNN should start a countdown clock to the end of the Ukraine/Russia War. Trump has said many times he will end this war on Day 1 of his Presidency. Start the clock......

Using the title President Musk is the perfect way to ensure that Trump will soon name Elon Ambassador to Liechtenstein.

At least it gets her out of the country. That's a start.

The Canadian government is expanding its banned firearms list, adding hundreds of additional makes and models effective immediately.

Prohibited firearms cannot be bought, sold, lent, or imported.
This includes "104 families of assault-style firearms, encompassing 324 unique makes and models".

The US Court systems seem to be an absolute joke. Even when someone's convicted if they have enough money they can thumb their nose at the court and the judge without ever having to worry about being put in jail.

My friends' reactions that I've talked to, here in Canada, re Trump's 25% tariff proposal is not one of anger but rather bemusement. We've watched Trump's buffoonery for too long to believe anything this blowhard says.

An American Bald Eagle flees to Canada in shame as US President Trump announces 25% tariffs on the best partner country it has ever had.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce suggests Trump’s announced tariffs on Canada would reduce the size of the Canadian economy between 0.9 and one per cent, resulting in around $30 billion per year in economic costs.


The U.S. would see around US$125 billion a year in costs.

Good move, Donald Dump.

Think you've got problems with Trump? How about us Canadians? Right-wing nutbars are outraged at PM Justin Trudeau for taking his 15yr old daughter to a Taylor Swift concert in Toronto while a pro-Palestinian protest was unfolding in Montreal.

The protest ended at 7 p.m.? Three arrests!

I find it very weird to see how Elon Musk is dominating X with his posts. Between posting and hanging out at Mara Lardo while running the Trump transition he seems to have a lot of time to waste. It's strange.

Pat King, one of the most prominent figures of the 2022 "Freedom Convoy" in Ottawa, has been found guilty on five counts including counselling others to obstruct police and disobeying a court order.

King, an Alberta resident, could be facing up to 10 years in prison.
