Well, now that the #FDAchemicals are making US food even more toxic, will that finally convince the 50% of Canadians who aren't participating in the #boycott of US products finally join the rest of us?

There is a book published in the 80s that alleges the H.W. Bush who ran the CIA at the time sabotaged Carter's Iran hostages rescue operation. It's called The October Surprise by Barbara Honegger who was part of the Reagan transition team.

A Thread About the tRump Years. These are dark and terrible times. The irony of war being fought over the very substance that is destroying our planet is just one of the endless disasters caused by the criminal regime running (cont.)

As long as there is a tRump humper leading Alberta in the form of Danielle Smith, oil will never be used as leverage.

I can't believe the childishness of the imbecile occupant of the whitehouse. He makes Idi Amin seem sane by comparison. He is nothing but a demented figurehead for the Epstein class. A useful idiot controlled by the Nerd Reich Nazis. The only solution is to make billionaires illegal.

Did some grocery shopping today. Everyone was studiously reading labels. Heard more than a few people saying don't buy that...it's from the US. Canadians will only buy products from Democracies. Tariff or no tariff...We won't buy your crappy products until you become a democracy.

So, Nutlick thought Canada would roll over, but instead we rolled up our sleeves. We will never bargain away the tiniest bit of our sovereignty or give in to US blackmail. Canadians are asking the democratic nations of the world to join us in the largest boycott of US goods the world has ever seen.

Billie Holiday, recorded a song in 1939, called “Strange Fruit.” The title referred to lynching. Why is there no coverage of the new wave of lynchings? www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

The art establishment in Canada despises realist painters. They are quasi intellectuals who have fine tuned their BS to such a degree that they have convinced themselves that 3 stripes on a huge canvas is superior to any realist painting. This US work was bought by the NGC for 1.8 million in 1989.

Fun historical fact. The man who invented the modern flush toilet in 1861 was named Thomas Crapper. His legacy lives on in the millions of "crappers" still in use today along with the word crap. Rumour has it that his descendants changed their last name.

See BS show Sunday Morning last Sunday ran a segment about ICE detainees. Just when I thought c-BS might redeem itself, the piece begins with a happy kid playing soccer. By the time they showed families in clean comfortable conditions, I could take no more. I felt nauseous.... (cont)

America needs a hero like Smedley Butler. In 1933, Butler was approached by a group of wealthy American industrialists planning a coup to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The plotters of the coup intended to use him to place the federal government under arrest.

We live in an age where humans are capable of wondrous scientific and technological knowledge. Yet we find ourselves mired in the ignorance and stupidity of the troglodyte age. Knowledge without wisdom can only destroy us. Humans need to learn wisdom.

I have a theory about tRump. He was deposited on Earth by aliens as a prank. The cosmic equivalent of a teenager lighting a bag of shit on fire on someone's front porch and ringing the doorbell then hiding in the bushes.

Just waiting for the demolition crews to arrive at Mt.Rushmore. It will be renamed Mt. Trump and the faces changed. Washington's face will be replaced by Donald Trump. Jefferson's with Don Jr. Lincoln's with Pam Bondi, and Roosevelt's with Elon Musk.

Don the Con wants to test nuclear weapons. The feckless GOP congress are frightened that they might get primaried if they dare speak out against a deranged lunatic holding the nuclear codes. Just like when Nero burned down Rome, the US is ruled by psychopaths who would burn down the planet.

I wonder how they managed to find every psychopathic woman in America. I mean Noem, Bondi, Leavitt? All of the psychopaths I've met are men. They must have scoured the country to find these 3.

Richard Nixon said in 1972," If you think the US is right wing now just wait until you see what's coming". Even crooked Nixon would be horrified at what's going on today. The most venal corrupt criminals have taken over every branch of govt. and are driving the US into the gutter.

Fight fascism because it's the right thing to do. The more people who give up, the stronger they become. Fascism may look like it's winning for now, but ultimately they will be brought to justice. Instead of giving up, remember how they always end up.

Been watching old All in the Family reruns. Archie Bunker was a racist, a xenophobe, misogynistic and homophobic. He also hilariously showed people how stupid and self defeating those attitudes are. We must be allowed to ridicule stupidity, especially if the stupid are holding political power.

Like Mark Twain said back in the 1800s. "A lie makes it halfway around the world before the truth has even put it's trousers on". These days, a lie travels all the way around the world in milliseconds.

Someday soon, this criminal cabal will be brought to justice. It's good to remember that evil in the end always consumes itself. They may cause mayhem and try to destroy everything decent about the US, but I truly believe that the American people will never accept living under a dictator.

I firmly believe that it's time to allow all decent US citizens to claim refugee status in Canada. USA is no longer a democracy and shouldn't be considered a safe country.
