They are busy undermining democracy at home, so why would he support it in other countries?

The new Conservatives are anything but conservative. They don't want to conserve anything, just break things and tear them down. They are incapable of creating anything of value.

Americans have no clue about us, and they're kinda proud of it.

As I recall it was just a couple of years ago Canadians were too ashamed and embarrassed to be waving flags on Canada Day.

"Do you know how much you have to mess up for Quebecers to be waving Canadian flags and sharing pro-Canadian memes?"

You are absolutely correct. The Gilded Age of robber barons and railroad monopolies. McKinley was owned by oligarchs like JP Morgan, John D Rockerfeller and Cornelius Vanderbilt. It ended badly for him.

Some minimalization happening here! Ironically, I stepped out of the car and into 3 ft of snow...I must have looked like a turtle flipped upside down trying to regain my footing! #Photography #EastCoastKin #blackandwhite

Good point. During the War of 1812 the Southern Rebublicans were reluctant to support the invasion of Canada because they feared if it became part of the USA they would vote Federalist and anti-slavery. See Alan Taylor's excellent book, The Civil War of 1812.

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

I doubt Putin actually believes any of that claptrap about NATO fighting a proxy war against russia in Ukraine blah blah blah. It's just a lame excuse to justify a naked grab for land, resources and power, just the same as his beloved Soviets and tsars before him.

Okay, I just finished a brutal 2 day battle with the #norovirus. Nasty business. Violent diarrhea and vomiting. It seems to have broken this morning. Wash your hands.

U.S. Customs & Border Protections say that less than 20 kilograms of fentanyl was seized along the border with Canada last year compared to more than 9,000 kilograms seized along the border with Mexico. Guns? Toronto police have found that about 85% of all crime guns they recover come from the U.S!

Trump rails against drugs, migrants flowing into U.S. What about what's pouring into Canada?

U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's complaints that Canada is not doing enough to curb the flow of illegal migration and fentanyl into the U.S. are getting some push back from former prime minister St...

Yes. I love to combine urban geometric shapes with more intuitive brush strokes, scribbles, light, colours etc.

Michael Cavanaugh @michaelcavanaugh.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Thanks. It's a combination. It was from a close crop of a much larger photo I took, but I thought the composition was too horizontal, so I took some separate photos of a construction crane tower and dropped it in the foreground.

I reported and blocked three blatant Russian trolls posing as angry American “former Democrats” blaming Ukraine for the fires or similar. They have deployed on Bluesky. Look for them with no profile pic, almost nothing but reply posts, and the same crappy Russian cartoons. Report, block, hide.
