How things look through my Canadian eyes. My view today may change tomorrow as I listen, talk, learn, and the world moves along. I'm open minded that way. Beliefs and facts are different things, and I never mistake the former for the latter.

US people: The guy just tried to rename a lake because someone said no to him. We get it, you're sorry & didn't vote for him. We've appreciated the apologies & excuse for 20 months. But seriously now - why do you still allow him lead your country & have authorization to launch nuclear weapons?

The US military has maintained a long history of not knowing which end of a flag is up. I don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons, but if the US military can't figure out the most basic part of something simple like carrying a flag, perhaps they shouldn't be trusted with nuclear weapons either. 🤔

Backpfeifengesicht. German compound word. Translates to "a face that is badly in need of a fist" or "a face that deserves to be slapped". The word is used to describe a person whose facial expression or behavior is so annoying that it invites frustration.

Every time Pierre Poilievre opens his mouth, he reinforces Canadians' certainty that they've made the best choice in electing Prime Minister Mark Carney.

One wonders if Pierre Poilievre is self-aware? Claims the PM is building a majority via "shady back room deals" while PP is in his position due to support of Canadian voters? PP led his party to defeat, lost his seat, made a shady backroom deal to force an MP to resign so he could take his seat.

US Mad King says "A whole civilization will die tonight". Will US People will be in the streets today trying to stop him from doing this this in their name? Will they take responsibility for their nation's actions? Or will they remain complacent?

Yesterday, a capsule & mission built & run by humans collaborating from all over the Earth took 4 humans around the Moon. Today, 1 human threatens his nation will bomb another nation of humans "back to the stone age where they belong". Why won't the humans of his nation do anything to stop him?

The Mad King is clearly living in his own fantasy world, telling tall tales to journalists who won't challenge him - while he wreaks destruction, takes human lives & destroys world economics, trade & alliances. Meanwhile US people STILL sit on their couches taking no serious action to stop him.

Teensy heads-up US people: 1 reason the ICC issued a War Crimes arrest warrant for Putin is Russia's deliberate destruction of Ukrainian civilian infrastructure - power plants. If the US Mad King actions his current threat to Iran he'll be a War Criminal & the US will be on par with Putin's Russia.

Lifting sanctions on enemies & terrorists while putting sanctions (tariffs) on (erstwhile) friends & allies. The policies of a "very stable genius" criminal who has "all the best people" & given power a 2nd time by a plurality of US people. Sometimes I have to write things out to absorb them.

The US began a war with Iran with no notice or consultation with allies, belittled them saying the US doesn't want them joining in "late". Now the US threatens nations by demanding Naval Ships to secure the Strait of Hormuz. If they do, it should be called the "Coalition of the Bullied".

Imagine if every politician's name was followed by a number in parenthesis - the number of human lives lost due to them. Not for legitimately defending against actions of another (like an invasion) - but the # of people who would still be living their full lives if not for that politician's actions.

PM Carney is working on a long term vision for Canada - plans that take years to complete. He isn't turning a ship, it's the whole fleet. Politicians don't do that - they're about short term low risk to crow about to get re-elected. PM Carney isn't politicking, hes working hard for Canada's future.

Last week Poilievre's Cdn Conservatives kept "defund CBC" as party policy. They nurture mistrust of CBC to avoid fact-checking by professional journalism & thus reject CBC's entire spectrum of broadcasting & importance to Canadian fabric. Must suck being Conservative & not watching the Olympics.

If the Conservatives can read Canada (& the polls) Canada will be free of the danger of Pierre Poilievre by Saturday morning. But he's rigged the convention & his leadership review to be dominated by blindly loyal supporters who won't do what's best for both Canada & their party & remove him.

If delegates at the Canadian Conservative convention this weekend can read Canada (or a poll) the threat of Poilievre will be gone by Friday evening. But he's jerry-rigged the convention so only his loyal base will attend, so they won't likely do what's right for Canada or their party.

The Mad King threatens 100% tariffs on Canada if it forms a free trade deal with China. The US hasn't made an equivalent threat to China. This is how US treats its closest trading partner & (becoming former) ally vs its biggest economic & military threat. Good to know where Canada stands. 💪🏽🇨🇦
