I think this will be - or should be - a historic speech at a critical point where countries and people will be judged by those who stood up to tyranny versus those who capitulated.

Nope. You are completely tone deaf to what Canadians feel. Have you come out to publicly and explicitly condemn Trump’s statements about Canada? You don’t say it in the video and there’s plenty of good food and wine in Canada, thank you very much.

This is equivalent to “extraordinary rendition” - a shameful American legacy of post-9/11 illegal acts. America, read your history - and while you are at it you might want to take a peek at what the 1930s in Germany looked like.

I do not think in the year 2025 that we should continue to accept a reality which sees women paid just $0.75 for every $1 men are paid for doing the same job.

If we want to achieve economic justice in this country — that means equal pay for equal work.

If you want to get QC seats, you need more videos of you speaking French. It’s not good enough to have subtitles. As an anglophone living in QC, it’s noticeable. You will not gain the confidence of Quebecers if you are not even willing to try to speak to them in their language.

The GOP is Officially a Fascist Movement To confront & defeat the threat, America has to name it. The GOP is now a fascist movement that is beholden to Trump, Putin, & white supremacy at the expense of democracy, truth, & freedom.

My latest.

That’s actually a lot… keep reminding your reps they represent all of their constituents not just the ones who voted for them.

As a Canadian, serious question: what are Americans doing to stop this? Court challenges are not enough when rulings are ignored. So then what?

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera.

If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.
