I sit here in rural Nova Scotia listening to some of the most intellectually challenging music ever made - jazz - the great American art form. I wonder what has become of your amazing country. The barbarians are in charge. You will be back though, I know it.

The rest of the free world needs to step up and sideline the US. Once a beacon of freedom and hope America is now a rogue nation run by a group of extremist sociopaths led by an incoherent madman. Every country has an ugly underbelly - sadly the US is being run by those deplorables.

Pope Leo will advocate for a theory of human dignity and social morality that transcends the politics of the moment. His election is not a verdict on America’s future or a victory for any faction, but a choice rooted in continuity and vision. www.vox.com/religion/412...

The first American pope is not about America at all

Robert Prevost — now Pope Leo XIV — is not your typical boomer Chicago Catholic.

Right, Trump just does not understand that he has very little leverage against a rising power that was already going to eclipse the US anyway. All he did was show all the US trading partners that he is crazy and the US is an unreliable partner. That just helps Xi and China surpass the US faster.

If anyone wants to understand Americans, all they need to know is that 44% of them still approve of Trump. I know it’s hard to believe for those of us in the rest of the world.

Pierre Poilievre tries to distance himself from MAGA/Trump, until he echoes them. UNWRA provides poor war torn people with humanitarian assistance; then again Poilievre voted against providing poor kids in Canada with school lunch. PP despises the UN and organizations formed by the ALLIES after WW2.

The US hates Canada, the EU, the Commonwealth, other democratic countries because we've accomplished what they cannot. We've proved how social democracy works. Public healthcare, quality in education and functional social safety nets and supports. Everything they lack and cannot obtain. #cdnpoli

If your plan is to keep your head down and hope it goes away, I can show you all of human history why it won’t work. If it’s to capitulate and hope they ignore you, I can show you thousands of Trumpers who’ve already lost their jobs & savings. Fighting back isn’t an option. It’s the only option.

The Guardian In a feeble attempt to justify what is, in effect, a Putin-style bid to seize another country’s sovereign territory, Vance claimed Denmark had failed to protect Greenland from Chinese and Russian threats – but did not produce any evidence. He also failed to explain why….

We will gladly accept your best and brightest. North of the border, an extraordinary life of freedom and democracy awaits. Although not perfect, our government isn't dysfunctional, and our cities are safe. Send your kids to school without fear that it will be the last time you see them.

Following World War II, the US embraced a doctrine of global dominance, aiming to establish and maintain a world order favorable to its interests, often through military and economic power projection, and this is sometimes referred to as "Pax Americana". Now ‘we’ are the freeloaders.

It’s weird that no one in the US realizes the real reason why there is so much US auto manufacturing is done in Canada is because it our universal healthcare reduces labour cost dramatically. 🇨🇦

Van Hollen: "European allies & others around the world who believe in freedom & democracy are wondering if this is just rhetoric or a real shift. My warning to them is I think this is reality. I think Trump is much closer ideologically to Putin & other autocrats than he is to democratic countries."

I would suggest that we open a new immigration pathway to Americans wanting to move here. That would be truly subversive! There's a lot of Americans getting laid off in the sciences and medical research who could benefit Canada - even in the short term until the US comes to its senses.
