Tomorrow is the big day - I head to the hospital at 6:15am for my hip replacement. Feeling extremely nervous right now. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

I know they set up the Conservative conference for Poilievre to win (in Calgary, no remote votes), but 87.4%?
He lost the election, his own seat, and had two MPs cross the floor. It's ridiculous.

Crushing the free press - that's about what I expect at this stage of fascism. (Apparently studying history just makes it more frustrating to watch it happen again.)

No one ever said that Trump tells the truth.

Trump is totally insane, but I strongly suspect this is a lead-up to him planning to take us over himself.

The snow is really coming down in Toronto! They are now saying it could be up to 50cm.

Trump threatens Canada with 100% tariff over possible deal with China U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said he would impose a 100% tariff on all Canadian imports if the North American country makes a trade deal with China.

Trump is not only threatening us with 100% tariffs for trade with another country, but is again calling our Prime Minister "governor". This is not going to end well. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Why is the bar on the Yellow warning red? Since Red is one of the levels, I first assumed it was a Red warning.

This worries me. If Trump is happy about this "deal", it has to be a bad one. And Mark Rutte tends to be a suck-up.

I managed to sit through Trump's Davos speech. It was all the usual lies, and all 'me'. Even worse than usual when compared to Carney's excellent talk yesterday.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Then do something. If your country starts WWIII we won't forgive you because it was Trump's fault. There are 300 million of you. Get rid of him.

Is the US going to get Trump out of office before he starts WWIII, or just sit back and watch? The man is clearly insane.
