HISTORIC PEACE DEAL
Chamberlain rates Hitler meeting "Ten out of ten' 
by Our Munich Staff Piers Inourtime

The Prime Minister of the United States of Kingdom, Mr Neville Chamberlain, hailed his summit with dictator Adolf Hitler as a
triumph.

"We got along great," said the self-styled "Greatest PM Ever- Fact!" Critics questioned whether the Munich agreement had actually delivered peace in Europe, and worried that Mr Chamberlain might have been played like a ukulele in the hands of Mr George Formby.

"That's fake Pathe News" responded Donald Chamberlain. "I know Adolf likes me bigly. He told me that I'm a much better PM than Sleepy Stanley Baldwin, and that I've turned Great Britain into an economy that's as hot as a Gatling Gun!"

Mr Chamberlain was particularly pleased with a letter from Mrs Melania Chamberlain, which he had hand-delivered to the Fรผhrer, in which she expressed concerns about the future of children in Nazi Germany.

"Mr Hitler, you can single-handedly restore their melodic laughter,"
she wrote - or at least AI and Google Translate jointly did. The Fรผhrer
had to wipe away a tear - of laughter.

Mr Chamberlain was adamant that the Nazi leader should be trusted, because he was wearing a smart military jacket and tie, with a very respectful armband. Mr Chamberlain concluded, "Czechoslovakia can end the war tomorrow. It's up to them, not Mr Hitler, who simply wants peace. And Poland. And France. And possibly Britain!"

Poilievre secured a seat, but first needs CSIS security clearance before handling sensitive intelโ€”or even briefings on foreign interference.
CBC spells out the absurdity: weโ€™re meant to trust national security from someone who refuses the most basic vetting.

A Maine politician sent Canadians an unprompted offer to join the US Sen. Joe Martin, R-Rumford, wrote the undated letter focused on how British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba could seek admission.

Canada will never join the United States. Maine senator Joe Martin can go fuck himself.

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression.

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h.

Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either.

For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.

A stable, democratic America was the lynchpin of the Western alliance and the international order Europe relies upon. The US isnโ€™t that anymore, and itโ€™s getting worse. The implications are massive, and still under-recognized, perhaps in part because theyโ€™re so big and unsettling.

I second this:

Letโ€™s make a planet in which nobody is starving. Letโ€™s make a planet in which men and women have equal access to power. Let us make a planet in which no ethnic group has it over another ethnic group. Letโ€™s have a planet in which science and engineering is used for the benefit of everybody on the planet. And my personal idiosyncrasy, letโ€™s have a world in which we go to other worlds.

Hey fellow Canadians, you know that $20 billion in travel and tourism that we used to plow into the US economy every *year* by visiting America?

Why would any sane person risk traveling to a thuggish, fascist country like Trump's America?

This sentiment reflects the way my fellow Canadians feel about the US when I talk with them in person, too.

Long after Trump's gone, the friendship & trust Canadians long felt for the US will be severely damaged if not gone, and I don't think it'll be restored. I'll never trust America again either

Canada isnโ€™t losing the trade war โ€” yet Mark Carney won the April election in large part because Canadians trusted him more to deal with Donald Trump. Now, almost four months on, is their confidence being rewarded?

Many want Mark Carney to rush into a deal โ€” any deal โ€” with Donald Trump. Why his strategy of "ragging the puck" might be about to pay dividends... www.nationalobserver.com/2025/08/13/o...

Let's invest in a pan-Canadian electricity grid powered by renewable energy. โšก The DSF's Acting Executive Director Linda Nowlan was published in the Globe and Mail. Canada can lead the world by connecting provincial power grids, upholding Indigenous rights and prioritizing renewable energy.
