I have a piece in @theguardian.com about Canadian veterans, and their families, reacting to the Trump Administration's unkind comments about Canada's military. "To hear him spit on our sacrifice is insulting, it’s hurtful, and it’s disrespectful to the dead." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

‘Spit on our sacrifice’: Canadian veterans fume after Trump and allies take jibes at military
Military families say Trump officials ‘owe us an apology’ after disparaging remarks by JD Vance, Pete Hegseth and others

This is the kind of story the Canadian government would normally go out of their way to shut down. Not now.These are trial balloons about prepping for US cyber threat and interference. "Hypothetical" scenarios about fighting an insurgency war. It's sending a message that we aren't fucking around.

Voting does almost nothing to keep the billionaires in check. Rather, it's how you spend your money. For example, you could force Skydance - the Ellisons - into a fire sale. Six months? Twelve months? That's nothing if you want to be free of the shackles.

Separatists in Canada very much resemble the sibling who complains about their slice of the pie, despite being no different than the rest. They are inherently selfish, thinking themselves special, and willing to let the rest of us literally burn as a result of American aggression.

One crazy thing about this new outpouring of racism against South Asians and calls for expulsion or forced assimilation is it was kicked off by some brown skinned students at a Texas game wearing cowboy hats and excitedly celebrating their football team — ie some guys very assimilated to America.

With this new world order, it's time for like-minded nations to establish state-funded arms and technology companies. The tech oligarchs will always partner with authoritarians and seek to own or stifle competition. Most Canadian/EU companies will sell out their nation without a second thought.

Lol. From Wikipedia:
A hydronym (from Greek: ὕδρω, hydrō, "water" and ὄνομα, onoma, "name") is a type of toponym that designates a proper name of a body of water. For example, the hydronym of the easternmost lake of the Great Lakes is Lake Ontario.

Again, the lesson for Canada fron the tariffs - but also the EU, the Indo-Pacific and any other region looking to do business with the U.S. - is that the tools have been taken out, this will not end with Trump.
Picture of a tweet of Gavin Newsome saying he won’t necessarily rescind tariffs on Canada or other countries but says he will be nicer.

It was Natalie Harp who posted the meme of the Obamas as apes. She's also responsible for Trump as Jesus, Trump as the Pope, Trump as Elvis, and a meme of fighter pilots dropping feces on "No Kings" protesters. No sympathy for this deranged sycophant. Her mind may be just as warped as Trump's.

The mainstream media has treated the collapse of trade talks with Canada as a symmetrical crisis, with each side blaming the other for a needless trade war. What these accounts leave out is the fact that all of Trump’s gratuitously imposed tariffs were illegal to begin with. buff.ly/jqL1tQ4
