People are tired of having to choose between gas and groceries, because both are too expensive thanks to Donald Trump’s war in Iran. They are tired of stretching to pay for rent and for daycare and for health care, when the cost of each is climbing but the paycheck has not budged.

So, this was posted on the official Mark Carney page on Instagram. All the post said was: On this day in 1812 ———- À pareille date en 1812. That is the most low-key troll I have ever seen. 🤣

Trump just threw a massive lifeline to Vladimir Putin. And to do it, he’s breaking the law. Back in 2022, Congress banned Russian energy imports. I voted for it. The law says the president has to consult Congress before he changes anything. He didn’t. Illegal. Deadly. Disgraceful. Link below!

The US used to be the country others measured themselves against. Its remaining admirers are in Moscow and Pyongyang, and it has become exactly the kind of s**thole it used to sneer at. Why is Trump still in office? Because Americans are fine with it. #cdnpoli

Apologies Ukraine, apologies NATO, apologies free world. As an American, I once again apologize that we put a cruel, sociopathic madman in the White House who also happens to be a Russian asset. So he’s on Putin’s side. America apologizes. Most of America opposes him.
