I used to vacation, shop and pick up parcels in the US at the very least 4-6 times per year, likely spending at least $5,000 every year. I am 56 years old and, as of November 2024, I will not be returning to the US for the remainder of my life. It is now an authoritarian failed state and dangerous.

Um, you’re a Danish company. The EU stands ready to pound this stupid asshole in unity. What are you doing? This is insane…

The sincerity of that smile always reminds me of Richard Nixon.

Finally, some sanity on the horizon. They’ll have my vote!

There was no lost Liberal decade. The Trudeau government spent 5 years fixing the damage Harper left, then 5 more navigating COVID and global inflation.
That's called leadership. Canada isn't broken-it's still standing because they didn't walk away when it got hard.

According to Trump, β€œHe who saves his Country does not violate any Law.” I guess that will mean a full pardon for whoever assassinates him and his fascist collaborators, right?

Pretty much sums it up. Worst thing the PCs ever did was merge with Reform/Alliance.

Regardless, he will go down in history as one of the most hated leaders who has ever lived.

Either US citizens end this or a foreign power will. I think it would be best if it was US citizens, because otherwise it only shows how weak and pathetic most US citizens have become, that an outsider has to solve their problems for them.

I now assume that he has a death wish, because after the amount of emotional and financial pain he’s inflicted on the entire world, there is absolutely no way he’s getting out of this alive, and even he must know this. And I’m guessing a number of his fascist sycophants will be joining him.

So true. But it's worse than that.

Trudeau gave Alberta many billions every year for infrastructure, housing, healthcare, etc. And they spent past decade talking about separation, organising convoys, saying Fed gov't does nothing for AB.

They act like petulant children.

We need a made-in-Canada trusted traveller program for front of the line express check in through security in Canadian airports. Something that doesn’t involve NEXUS/GLOBAL ENTRY/USA in any way, only CATSA.

It seems like every damn day since the night of November 4, 2024. Although I’m not fundamentally against capital punishment for the most heinous of crimes, I’ve never wanted to see the execution of so many people for high treason as I have been these last two months.

December 7, 1941: Japan attacks the US & Canada immediately declares war on Japan to support the US. September 11, 2001: Al Qaeda attacks the US & Canada immediately rushes to the aid of the US. Now the US could have their cities carpet bombed by an enemy and we’d say, β€œAh, that’s a shame. Anyway…”

I’m so glad John McCain is not alive to see this. It would probably crush his soul.

Yes, a civil war of some sort is definitely a possibility. I sure hope we have a plan in place to close our borders and to withdraw our consular staff if that takes place.

Given that some intelligence analysts are predicting a shooting war with the US within the next 6-18 months why the hell would anyone travel to an enemy nation? It’s like travelling to Germany in 1933 at this point.

This individual needs to be charged with colluding with a hostile foreign government and removed from office for treason. What the hell is taking so long?!
