I would think no one would agree to taking out any N.American city/cities but I would wager that there may be some people who might suggest Palm Springs as a better alternative?

Starting with two coloured consonants I needed to figure out which vowel(s) to use, thus my second guess. My third guess made me a little concerned about solving. Fortunately solved in 5. Wordle 1,935 5/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Public vulgarity and lewdness are Trump's signature on the campaign trail. These are well recognized as signs of advanced senile dementia.

The cancellation of the Avro Arrow program was one of the biggest mistakes made in Canadian history, all because of pressure from the U.S.. We cannot make a similar mistake today.

Starting with a green & then using a word changing the green to yellow was intentional to eliminate letters, which proved beneficial. Not a 2 or a 3, but am happy to not get caught in the DWT, & solve in 4. Wordle 1,933 4/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Sass Jordan has died. Born in 1962 in England, she grew up in Montreal. Jordan had several hit songs in Canada including Rescue Me and Tell Somebody. A Juno Award winner, she also served as the honorary colonel of 417 Combat Support Squadron. (Announced on her Facebook page)

I swear his “stories” get more outlandish all the time but, of course, his MAGA crowd believes every word and refuse to believe anyone who refutes his “statements”, if they even bother to see someone call out his lies. THAT is what is truly sad.

Disgusting. Trump says he feels bad for the seven Cornell students accused of rape, and his biggest worry is that they "won't get a fair shake" with Letitia James as special prosecutor. Not one word for the victim.

Just FYI: Inflation did NOT decline last month. Instead, the Trump Administration adopted a new method of calculating inflation to make it look lower. Americans know what they are paying. They know that prices are rising faster than wages. Trump expects his base to believe his lies.

A short lesson on diesel exports: Each day, the US produces about 1.3 million more barrels of diesel than it consumes and ranks among the world’s largest exporters of diesel. The high price of diesel in the USA is NOT due to a shortage. The price is high because it is set by world markets. 1/3

The Kennedy Center was solvent when Trump took over. Then its finances collapsed.

Trump’s new AI “accord” has no actual government regulator enforcing it, no penalties for violations, no disclosure requirement and no implementation deadline. The companies choose their own auditors. This isn’t regulation. It’s the consolidation of an unaccountable tech mafia.

Canadian automakers have developed an EV car that can travel 500+ km on a single charge, shows snow covered lane lines on your windshield on snowy highways, and heatmaps animals on the side of the road so you have a warning about deer and moose at night. This is for us. BRING IT TO MARKET!! 😍❤️🍁

So Trump told reporters in the White House today that “Canada are going to come in and say, ‘Sir, we are sorry’…” Trump is managed to do something I didn’t think was possible — guarantee that Canadians will never say “sorry.”
