The more brutal they are allowed to be, the more brutal they become. This guy is completely drunk with power.

Americans seem to think that the mid-terms will some how miraculously make these ICE goons and their brutish tactics go away. When that doesn't happen, and I have serious doubts it will, what are you prepared to do? Terrifying videos change nothing.

There's no justification for killing children, making them live in perpetual fear, or starving them to death.

I have changed what I buy and always look for a Canadian alternative. If there isn't one, then I go to any other country's product. I won't buy American, even if I must pay more, it's worth it to me. I have no argument with those who are struggling to make a paycheck stretch, do what you need to.

Here's a French video (with English subtitles) about what would happen if the far-right racists got their way and all foreigners and people of colour were forced to leave.

Finland: putting people and the environment before billionaires. All countries should be doing this. Hit the pause button and look at the consequences before rushing down the data center road.

It's been going on for centuries. When I see the use of religion to justify war, I always hear John Lennon's "Imagine" in my head.

I will never trust a people who can elect a narcissistic con man and a child rapist, not once, but twice. Once Trump is gone, those people remain.

Even when she follows all the rules laid out by the men, they still don't believe her or they try to find something she did wrong that caused the man to attack and torture her.

This is on brand for Trump. He has to insert himself in every story so that he gets the credit and the kudos. Narcissist to the core.

I think the big lesson here is how the easily the US Constitution has been to circumvent and has failed to protect the citizens from an authoritarian president taking power. Much stronger protections need to be put in place to ensure that even the president obeys the rule of law.

I tuned in when Trump said, "old, rotted, rusted and useless" I thought he was talking about himself. He muses about Cuba having another blackout last night and doesn't know what going on there. The idiot doesn't remember that he has blockaded the country.

It's about time the news networks stood together to protest Trump's treatment of the news media. The manner in which he has shown disrespect to female reporters should have sparked a joint response from the media a long time ago.

It seems as though he's only in NATO to ensure his country receives its protection, but not willing to participate to protect others.

There is no disputing that the Trump administration has committed war crimes. The problem is there is no method available to punish these criminals. Both Putin and Netanyahu have been declared war criminals, yet they carry on as usual.

Canada needs to carefully look at this issue before allowing data centre building in Canada. They are trying to sell it as protecting our sovereignty over our data. We need more information on this before we jump in with both feet.

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. The number of gambling sites and the over abundance of gambling ads enticing people to have fun and make money is ridiculous. This was bound to create addiction and cause great harm. The government needs strong regulations to limit this activity.

It seems to be a Conservative/Republican trait to blame the guy who beat you for all the problems and they just can't let it go. If only the voters had re-elected them, they and the world would be in a better place.

Before jumping to extreme conclusions, maybe people should wait and see what kind of alliance these discussions with the EU could provide. Carney has been very clear on the protection of Canadian sovereignty and would jeopardize it for an agreement with the EU.

It's the same line Trump uses with every country he attacks. Iran wants to make a deal very badly. Substitute Canada, Ukraine, Greenland, etc. it all translates into Trump wants to make a deal very badly and get out of the mess he's created.

Could it be that Ford never really planned to build a science center, that a developer friend of his has other ideas about what could be built there and make a ton of money? Surely not.

Thanks for the clarification. So in effect, while it may be unlawful for anyone else, the president can do whatever he wants.

Is there no law in the US against buying votes? Plus, if he actually does it, he'll be using taxpayer's money. But it seems laws don't apply to this wannabe king and after all the lies he's told, US voters are gullible enough to believe him.

The peace part of the talks was to put Putin's mind at peace that Witkoff and Kushner would tell Zelensky whatever he wanted.

There is no possible way that Trump would have been near or gone near the towers that day. He likely saw the story of a man being lifted to safety by two big fireman and now in his delusional state, he thinks that it happened to him. Old bone spurs is too much of a coward to approach danger.

It's something the Trump administration fails to recognize. Canadians have done these boycotts on their own. No government needed to organize them. Individuals standing up to the disrespect and bullying of our great country said a loud and clear NO! We will never be under the thumb of the US.

Is anyone surprised? All these two want is a chance to make money, peace doesn't figure into it unless it makes them more money. Look at Zelensky's face as he suffers through this bullshit.

Loblaws has a very cozy relationship with Doug Ford and other influential people in the Conservative Party. For that reason alone, I won't shop their stores.

I'm deeply disappointed that I saw no coverage of this on national news networks here in Canada. This is a good news story that should have received national coverage. Instead we get recycled stories about Lake Ontario being renamed by the toddler in the WH.

If she wants to speak for Albertans, who may well be confused by their premier's actions and cozy relationship with Trump, she can do so. She has no place speaking for Canadians. I am not confused in the least.

Wow, that was a loaded question. The admiral was clearly taken aback by it, but also didn't answer the question directly. However, stating that he would follow the order, means to me that he would participate in attacking Canada. He also didn't stress that it had to be a lawful order.
