#CanadaisNotForSale
A very snowy street and there is a man in a black coat and black pants and a hat, and he is pushing a snowblower and you can see the clear cut of snow of a wall where he has come along. It appears that he is clearing out a driveway. The snow is very high.
The side of a house that has that 70s harvest, gold coloured siding, and a brown windowsill and the snow is very high along the side of the house up to the window. The snow is dug out around a small pipe that’s sticking up out of the snow. It is a PVC furnace pipe that is dug out because it needs to be completely exposed or it will shut the furnace down
My guy out there helping snr naybs, making sure they’re safe. He’s also been up & down the st. checking on furnace pipes, making sure they’re clear. It can be very dangerous & we’re expecting another 12” of snow over the night.
Pls, if you’re in this mess, just check in on your naybs. #snowmaggedon
This is how the world views the US.
Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."
Please take a minute to watch this. This is who we are as a nation.
Our ancestors fought for the freedom of others.
Today we fight for the values of our land and people.
Canadians don't run.
We never have.
True. North. Strong. Free.

Message to the grifter king from Canada:
"We will have no parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will. You do your worst and we will do our best. We do not expect to hit without being hit back, and we intend with every week that passes to hit harder."

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre spent Monday evening at his $1,750-per-plate fundraiser hosted at a mansion so large it has its own postal code.
Oh, and the guy who owns that place?
Yeah, looks like he profits from privatized healthcare facilities in the United States.
Let's talk about it:
Please enjoy my cartoon for Wednesday's Toronto Star
Graeme MacKay
This is everything you need to know about Poilievre.
He is their guy on the inside.
I will never ever vote on anything brought forward by this man.
He is fundamentally unfit for public office.
Intentional disinformation right out of the mouth of the owner of the LA Times. Not surprised in the slightest. The media oligarchy are going to put it all out there.
Every. Single. Lie.
As they busily crush the careers & employment of journalists who carried their heavy water for years.
People need to get off their lazy a$$es and vote for provincial governments that care more about them than the big money corporations.
So when are we gonna fight for our healthcare system that is being chronically underfunded to bring in a parallel private system? We see what Americans go through with health insurance which produces tiered inferior care. Is that what you want for this country?

AP headline reads: "Elon Musk helped Trump win. Now he's looking at Europe, and many politicians are alarmed"
FT headline reads: "Musk examines how to oust Starmer as UK prime minister before next election Technology billionaire interested in building support for another political party, notably Reform UK"
CBC headline reads: "Elon Musk praises Poilievre, mocks Trudeau as he steps into Canadian politics Expert says Musk wants to position himself as a global thought leader"
Reuters headline reads: "Musk hosts German far-right leader on X, stirs angst about election meddling"
I really feel like Musk's attempts to shape the world to his benefit should be talked about more and like....actually addressed?
HI AMERICA, YEAH, NO. LOVE, CANADA
Illegal MAGA USian caught in Canada's Whistler, B.C. after fleeing the US to hide after partaking in the 2020 Jan. 6 terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol.
He tried to claim asylum and says Trump is "a man of his word." and claims "Canada is being unfair." The US isn't sending its best.
“Trump will go down in history as a uniquely corrupt figure— and the fist convicted criminal to occupy the Oval Office.” My latest:

We're all so conflict-ready. It's hard to turn off. Just now, someone tried to provoke me in a silly way, and I had to remind myself that a stranger's emptiness and bad opinions weren't my concern. Was this a worthy conflict? Of course not.
What we water grows. That includes habits and egos.
While Trump threatens to invade Canada and his MAGA movement bullies and harasses Canadians and other US allies, Canadians are busy saving USians from burning alive.
Canadian air crews in Los Angeles risked their lives to save US civilians. #palisadesfire
When a liberal area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “God is punishing them.”
When a conservative area suffers a climate change disaster, Republicans say “Democrats control weather machines.”
Must be hard going through life as a full-blown idiot.
“The vast majority of Canadians are pro-choice, support gun bans and believe climate change exists. Despite what Pierre Poilievre and Jordan Peterson think, Canadians also acknowledge systemic racism.”
Canadian values are at stake in the next election
While Trump is trolling Canada about annexing it, Canadians are in Los Angeles tonight dropping water on the Palisades fire. He’s a disgrace.
Fuck the Orange Felon
Message to the convicted felon in Mar-A-Lago:
Unlike you, Canadians don't need to boast or brag.
They are fair and they are steadfast.
They won't lose sleep when a slob like you hurls insults.
That's because Canadians know who they are.
And when push comes to shove, Canadians are as strong as fuck.
Bertrand Russell wrote this over 100 years ago, in 1923. Hasn't aged a day.
