CHARLIE ANGUS ISSUES TRAVEL WARNING AGAINST UNITED STATES
CHARLIE ANGUS ISSUES TRAVEL WARNING AGAINST UNITED STATES YouTube video by Charlie Angus

Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE.
These are not the actions of a democratic nation.

I listened but found her POV off the mark. I agree with you, it was more than likely a set up. It’s about time we saw an authentic interaction with the US leaders. Kudos to Zelenskyy!
Pro tip to your guest: less laughing after her comments could increase her credibility.

Today, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde boldly called out Donald Trump for his hatred and bigotry at the National Cathedral Prayer Service. Now, the GOP is attacking her for speaking truth to power.

REPOST if you stand with Bishop Budde against Trump!

How sad is this? Such a misuse of time & money - for decades! And how about that very costly Reading Recovery program? <insert head shake>

I hope at least every elementary #bced admin has listened to this podcast. I remember well the roll out of whole language & later the devotees, not to mention time & $ poured into F&P. To call it β€˜a decades long shame’ is an understatement. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s...

/2 While there is 'good' in the system, my view as a retiree & grandma with 8/15 G'kids still in school. (+ 2 Homeschooled, 1 Graduated in Texas. 4 are finished K-12). is different from the outside. Too much is disappointing. But hey, what do I know? I just a little 'ole gramma. U keep preaching.
