In 1895, in the remote West Kootenays of British Columbia, a narrow gauge railway was built to reach the richest silver mines in the world. By 1910 rampant development destroyed almost everything, a story still very relevant today. Click pics, read ALTs.

Trump. the narcissist, only sees himself in the best light.
Everything he does and everything he says, about himself and others, are just a projection of himself.

Oh, did I just compare Trump to Stalin?
Stalin never tore down parts of the Kremlin.

Stalin also used food as a weapon to quell internal dissent.
Just saying.

Just like with all the extreme Gerrymandering attempts now, Trump and his enablers are clearly afraid of what confirmed voters can do to Republican chances with mail-in votes in the midterms. They read polls too.

Heh, the Trump enablers all appear to be terrified that any evidence comes out. Like there's not enough out already. Shutting down government just to block a vote from swearing in a newly elected Democrat representative is an act of desperation. And cowardice.

Desperate times mean desperate measures.
Little wars, shutting down government, demolishing the White House, creating chaos.

Is he really this afraid of the release of the Epstein files?
He should be.

The unhinged reaction to a direct quote Reagan ad, is proof positive it's been VERY effective in America. I love it! #cdnpoli

The current US administration is certainly bringing everyone's attention to Kat Abughazaleh's worthy run for Congress, and to the political use of the US "Department of Justice". The current US administration appears very afraid.

Republicans are MAGA now, and have been for a while.
Far-right Canadian Conservatives are trying to use the same playbook as a path to power, but Canadians can smell it.

"Many people simply wonโ€™t believe Pentagon statements at all.
And that might be the point."

Anne Applebaum writes: "The Trump administration is trying to muddle reality - and create apathy."

If NDAs are required, the logical conclusion is the Latin America mission is not about national defence.

"Trade is the source of our prosperity."

President Ronald Reagan speaks on free trade and condemns protectionism and tariffs. November 26, 1988.

Trump is wrong on tariffs.
