Liberal living in rural Alberta. I vote Federal Liberal and Provincial NDP. Danielle Smith is destroying and stealing funding for most of our services! Anti-Trump and why isn’t Kamala #47?

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

It’s Day 16. Our country is being dismantled 24/7. If “…just 53 days.” applies to us, like it did in 1933 Germany, that means March 13, 2025, could be the last day of our country, as we know it to be. Tick tock, tick tock… #SheShed

We have been plagued by the same Russian active measures that have been used on Americans. It’s a global strategy really. It is a huge problem here. Trudeau should still be PM, but this right wing strategy of flooding the zone with shit was too much. If you don’t know about active measures, read up

Love Ford or hate him, he has stood up for Canada and very loudly stated that Country comes first and Canada is not for sale. He's not my premier, but I was glad he took that stance while Smith was noticeably pro-Alberta at the expense of the rest of the country.

True, unfortunately. (And I didn't vote Trudeau/Liberal in either of the last two elections.) Trying to figure out whether Carney or Freeland would be the better choice for Party leader &/or for Prime Minister. Singh has been disappointing: all tactics, no strategy -- and we need PM who gets both.
