Saying Trump is the worst president in US history feels like the biggest understatement in US history.

Ella Baron, of The Guardian, says it best.
To the left, an ICE agent holds one end of a gurney carrying Lady Liberty on life support and with his left hand shoots Alex Pretti completely out of the picture. The heartbeat monitor for her stops and the torch she was holding onto drops to the floor. And I am crying at the power the artist has shown she has.

Hoekstra does it again. No ambassador -- US or otherwise -- has ever made such stupid comments, amiright? www.cp24.com/politics/202... We don't need him telling us what we "don't understand" when, clearly he doesn't understand a damned thing himself.

It’s REALLY important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against downtown bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of the evidence that they are better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Bike-lanes mean business.

Pete Hoekstra, the US ambassador to Canada, says: “If a Canadian has had a disappointing experience coming into the United States, I’m not denying that it happened, but I’m saying it’s an isolated event and it is not a pattern.” Is anyone reassured by this comment? Cuz I'm not.

A salesperson comes to the front gate of a fenced-in yard. Doug Ford is too obese to hide behind a tree IN that yard.  His eyes are bugged out and he is clearly lurking and planning to attack the salesperson. A sign on the front gate warns "BEWARE OF DOUG".
