I loved Twitter connecting me to the world but fled in November. Eventually I’ll sort out the whole Profile thing but for now I’m sorting out what I can be for Canada - as an old WWII immigrant kid who has ALWAYS felt lucky I was born here.🇨🇦

Dear David McGuinty Why is Canadian taxpayer money is going to a drone company who is tied to Donald Trump Jr? We have Canadian taxpayers and contracts but Canadian investors barred from investing? Are we suckers? @largemanabroad.bsky.social raises questions you must answer. youtu.be/mINGQRiixSM?...

youtube.com/watch?v=mING.... Foreign investment in Canadian firms needs to be vetted more carefully. It doesn’t seem wise to let money that has purchased American integrity, appears to be manufacturing ferment in Canada, buy pieces of, and inroads to control in Canadian Defense companies.

Of course room and board is deducted from that - isn’t it? (I may have left my hometown decades ago but I still have that “Montreal sense of humour” that still eludes some people;-). Stornoway and staff are covered, but I don’t know about actual groceries.

This is why we must protect public education and Canadian resources that support thinking. In 2011 Doug Ford, as city councillor stated he would close a library branch in his ward "in a heartbeat". In 2019 he cut operating budget of the Ontario Library Service-North by 50%.

Ford saying out loud he “absolutely” supports Trump may be from 2025, but Ford claiming “fake polls”, and falsifying photos to show bigger crowds, shows he still fully embraces “The Trump Way” of politics.

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

This message hits hard.
Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

A travesty. Butchered a great book. Distorted characters. Can you even imagine Elizabeth saying plaintively “But we love Coopers Chase!” Decent even if you’re looking for one of the poorer hallmark movies though.

Don’t get comfortable. He’s a God-damned threat! Keep buying Canadian and supporting an independent nation and government. Right now I am feeling more like Austria during Hitler’s rise and expansion. If this “51st state “ tyrant decides to invade Canada, we won’t be so lucky.
