Canadian politicians are owned by Israel just like in the US.

Five galaxies appear close to each other in the sky. At upper left, a spiral galaxy is tilted, appearing wider than it is tall. It has a glowing yellow center and reddish-brown dust trails that spiral clockwise around it. Above the center is a large elliptical galaxy. Its round, glowing yellow center is surrounded by a fuzzy yellow halo that fades away from the core. Toward the bottom right are three galaxies that appear to touch. The largest is in the center: a nearly vertical, edge-on spiral galaxy. Its glowing yellow core is mostly obscured by reddish-brown dust trails dotted with blue stars. To its bottom left is a smaller, tilted spiral galaxy with a glowing yellow center. Reddish-brown dust trails are dotted with blue stars. One spiral arm appears to touch the vertical galaxy to its right. At the spiral’s bottom right is a lenticular galaxy with a glowing central core in the middle of a hazy yellow disk, appearing almost face-on. It seems to touch the large spiral galaxy above it.

This group of galaxies include three spiral galaxies, an elliptical galaxy, and a lenticular (lens-like) galaxy.

A black and white political cartoon shows a grave marked β€œRIP Democracy 1776 to 2026” with the epitaph β€œHe can’t do that.” An eagle emblem is etched into the headstone. A judge’s gavel lies abandoned on the grave slab. Dry grass surrounds the grave under a dark sky, with smoke curling upward, suggesting the collapse of legal restraint and democratic norms.

Take away their qualified immunity and these horrific crimes will likely stop.

Haha yes it’s going to be a cold weekend here. I’m spending a lot of time in front of the wood stove.
