So tragic that the ‘land of the free’, which for so long has unembarrassedly proclaimed itself the ‘leader of the free world’, has to worry about election interference! Sic transit gloria mundi! Alas. 🇨🇦

The irony is that the US was founded to be done with a ‘mad king’, and now you’re foundering in thrall to a ‘mad king’! Alas. 🇨🇦

Power buds as a tease, flowers as an aphrodisiac, lingers as an entitlement, languishes as a circling of the drain, and then some day…eventually…if you wait long enough, evaporates like a sigh of regret. The US needs to jump in with fresh contributions between the second and third of those.

🇨🇦 The thing about Canadians is that, despite the ravings of the malignant cretin in the White House against us, if an attack on the US happened again, we would come to your aid again. 🇨🇦

🇨🇦 Canadians came to New York to help, and welcomed stranded Americans in Gander, Nfld. Now, some of us ask why? Alas. 🇨🇦

It’s sad! But what’s sadder is that so many Amurricans who see the world this way—a win/lose dichotomy—will eat it up. They soon won’t have much else to eat, alas! 🇨🇦
