A travesty he got to go. This ass-hat stands against everything Pope Francis believed in...empathy, compassion, refugees, love, and peace.

Wearing a bright blue suit, texting, and then sleeping at Pope Francis’s funeral. What an embarrassing mess.

It is devastating to lose Pope Francis at this moment in history, at a time when freedom, justice, and compassion are in peril. He was the embodiment of empathy, love, and humility, bringing hope to the dispossessed and the downtrodden. He brought heaven a little closer to us.

He won’t remember but I met Justin Trudeau years ago during our Vancouver days at a party for a mutual friend. He was inquisitive, interesting, and a gentleman. It’s been a privilege to watch from afar as he grew into the leader he is today.

It can be argued that no Canadian prime minister, at least in living memory, has called out an American president in such a public, withering way. Justin Trudeau channels an insulted Canada’s anger with Donald Trump. #Opinion

If there was any doubt that Canada-U.S. relations have reached a breaking point this week, Justin Trudeau dispelled it in a remarkable address on Tuesday that tackled Donald Trump head

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Believing that Tulsi Gabbard — longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency
“On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST).

For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming.

Thank you for your service”

DOGE is 10x more authoritarian and dangerous to America's founding principles than the House Un-American Activities Committee was.

Just to remind everyone that Canada took in more than 200 planes and thousands of traumatized Americans on 9/11 when our friend and neighbour was under attack. Planes that could have been bombs. The sense of betrayal is real.
