Meanwhile, the administration has quietly slashed DOGE’s so-called “savings target” from $2 trillion to just $150 billion. Because it was never about savings. It was always about control. Your data. Your life. Their weapon. We see it now for what it is.

We Canadians can show any of 33 different pieces of ID to be eligible to vote. Everything from a letter from your priest to a Driver's License. I have NEVER heard of a Canadian that was NOT permitted to register AND vote on election day. A true democracy does not live in fear of its electorate. 🇨🇦

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.
