The inter-webs are not having it. Regular folk are fighting back and calling out racist/misogynist/bigoted morons, in a big way. I am noticing and yes, it makes me happy, to see these people exposed; their profiles published and their names laid bare, along with their disgusting commentaries.
There are a few social media legends who hold these people (?) accountable;
Calling out is not “Doxing”; I don’t believe in doxing, it is dangerous and unethical, however, calling these people out, making them accountable for revolting commentary by sharing their PUBLIC profiles, is not doxing. They wrote these comments, so they must be proud of their views but there is a whole world (literally) who may beg to differ and offer their own opinions.
In all honesty, I never much gave sharing these asshats, (asshats have no gender), any thought and just went on my merry way. This dates back to the BBS days, right through to recently. The hateful comments seem to be more rampant these days, the little brains bolstered by Dementia Don and his Magats.
My mindset has shifted; these trolls and losers at life need to be held accountable. Gone are the days of masked (white sheeted) anonymity. If you run into these remnants of evolutionary ooze and missed ladder rungs, call the suckers out. Let everyone know, exactly, with whom they work, who that neighbour is, as a person. Hate must be called out because when it isn’t, ICE kidnapping, San Salvador concentration camps and Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz happen, they will continue to happen. Call it out, call out the supporters, the “Alpha males”, the Magats and Maple Magats. Justice needs to take a stand and it starts at the grassroots.
I have the distinct feeling, more than a few of my Canadian and European friends will be denied entry into the U.S. in the near future, as long as that tribe of traitors are in office. Our crimes? Stating our opinions on the Orange Twat and his minions.
The Border Control has the right to go through your cell phones and laptops. If you have a burner phone? They will demand your social media profiles. Never underestimate the power of the brown shirts known as ICE; they are a real threat to anyone who is not melanin challenged. Be safe, travel anywhere but the U.S.
So, no trip to New England for us; I wanted to re-visit a few of the places from childhood vacations, a trip to Boston (a city I have always loved), and a touristy-kitschy visit to Salem, Mass. As we say in Québec, c’est la vie, we will spend our money in Québec. We wanted to up our Bar-B-Q party game this year, anyway.
This is a warning to Canadian and European family and friends; think twice, then think twice again about visiting the U.S. A flag of “Refused Entry” will stick even after that grifting felon abuser is gone. Why risk it? Stay home until he hits Lucifer’s waiting line or is turfed out of office. Lots of gorgeous places in Canada and of course, Europe; spend your money where it won’t be grifted into the Cheeto and his Orange lipped minions pockets.
Poilievre says he’d pass a law that overrides a Charter right.
No federal government has ever used the notwithstanding clause.
***************
Um, before y’all get too excited about mass murderers dying in prison because Pee-Pee is going to invoke “Notwithstanding”? You do know that this is just a trial run, right? Pick something folks will get behind, try ‘er out and then use it whenever needed, like with the right to choose. The right to marry. The right to justice. The right to adequate medical care. The right to education. The right to affordable medicines. You get the idea.
Keep this in mind while you’re getting all hot and bothered with this glorious news.
Do Not Split the Vote – whether N.D.P, B.Q, or Green; we need to send an unequivocal message to the party masquerading as “Conservative”. Vote Liberal, send the message that we are Canadian and don’t fall for fascist bullshite. Send that little worm packing, force the Conservative to go back to their core values as a party and not a Republican replica.
This sentiment became my truth, this week and it rocks me to my core.
“I’ve started to realize that Anne Frank and her family wouldn’t have been safe around a lot of people I know and loved and once respected. That’s not something you get over.”
Don’t be complacent Canada, we have our own silent Nazis, masquerading under a Conservative banner and the disgustingly named “People’s Party of Canada”.
Voting needs to be strategic, this time around. The only party strong enough to fight the Maple-Magas and win, are the Liberals. Sadly, voting for your local M.P. could well turn us into an American territory. Risks are too great, hold your nose if you must, but Liberal is the only way to protect ourselves from the Nazis living south of our border. Remember your history – Austria, remember Poland.
The piece below, echoes the feelings of most of Canada and NO, I AM NOT SORRY FOR THE LANGUAGE, it is deserved. Every. Last. Word. Of. It. We’re done. Masks are off and elbows are up.

Letter by, Jim Elliott:
Dear 77,301,997 Trump-Loving, Conspiracy-Huffing, Rage-Addicted Americans (And the Canadian Dumbfucks Who Worship Them)
Oh, hey there. Sit down. Read this. Try not to cry.
Listen, I get it. You think we’re just a bunch of polite, snow-loving, maple syrup-chugging pushovers up here in Canada. You’ve been misled. We’re polite, sure. But only until we get pissed off. And you, dear MAGA cultists, are testing our fucking patience.
Let’s clear up a few things about who we actually are, because you seem to be confused. We’re a country that gives a shit about our elders, our kids, and our most vulnerable. We actually value education instead of treating it like some left-wing brainwashing experiment. We don’t get all horny over billionaires hoarding wealth while our neighbours die in poverty. We don’t fantasize about returning to the 1940s, and we sure as hell don’t think the most corrupt sack of shit on the planet was personally chosen by God. Who does that? Oh right—you.
But let’s go deeper.
We’ve Always Been Your Best Fucking Neighbour—So What the Hell Happened?
Time and time again, Canada has been there when the U.S. needed us.
World War I? We were in the trenches before you even showed up. World War II? We were storming the beaches of Normandy while you were still debating whether or not to help. Korea, Afghanistan, peacekeeping missions—you name it, we’ve had your back. We sent our firefighters to help when California burned. When Katrina wiped out New Orleans, we were there. And on 9/11? We fucking welcomed thousands of stranded Americans into our homes, because that’s what decent people do.
And what did we ask for in return? Nothing. We didn’t demand groveling gratitude or threaten to “never help again” if you didn’t kiss our ass. That’s your toxic, transactional bullshit—not ours.
Enter Your Mango-Coloured Messiah: A Convicted Criminal With a Cult.
So after all that, what do we get? Your country elects a spray-tanned sociopath with the vocabulary of a Grade 3 dropout, and suddenly we’re the bad guys? You’ve got a convicted fraudster leading your country—a man who insults war heroes, mocks the disabled, and jerks off to the thought of authoritarian rule—and we’re the problem? You’ve got a Party foaming at the mouth to gut democracy, roll back civil rights, and turn the U.S. into a theocratic shithole, but we’re the ones who should shut up?
Nah. Fuck that.
And to the Canadian Trump Bootlickers—Sit the Fuck Down!
I can already hear the Canadian MAGA muppets shrieking, “Mind your own broken country!” Oh, sweetheart. If Canada were actually broken, it would be because of dumbass conservatives like you who take marching orders from a foreign conman.
Is Canada perfect? Of course not. But unlike you bootlicking clowns, we don’t rally behind leaders who openly admire fascists and flirt with the idea of rounding up immigrants. We don’t foam at the mouth over the idea of a “war on woke” while pretending climate change isn’t real. And we certainly don’t suck off billionaires while pretending trickle-down economics isn’t a scam.
You morons scream about freedom, but what you really mean is the freedom to be an ignorant, unvaccinated, gun-hoarding dipshit. The moment someone else—be it a woman, an immigrant, or a person of colour—wants the same freedom you enjoy? Oh no, suddenly that’s tyranny. Fuck off with that hypocrisy.
Canada Isn’t Broken—You Just Can’t Handle Reality.
What do we actually have in Canada? Universal health care. Sensible gun laws. A social safety net that, while imperfect, at least tries to keep people from starving in the streets.
Meanwhile, in your MAGA utopia, you can literally go bankrupt because you got cancer. You send kids to school in bulletproof backpacks because you refuse to do anything about mass shootings. You’re so brainwashed by billionaires that you think raising the minimum wage is worse than cutting taxes for a corporation that made $100 billion last quarter.
And you have the fucking gall to call us broken?
Mind My Own Business? I Fucking Wish!
Oh, I’d love to. Really, I would. But here’s the problem—when you share a border with a country of over 300 million people, and that country elects a conspiracy-loving, anti-science lunatic to power, it becomes my business.
When your president guts economic, military, and trade alliances that help keep the world stable? That’s my business. When your leader openly muses about invading sovereign countries—including ours? That’s definitely my business.
And when a bunch of dumbfuck Canadians start acting like America’s the blueprint for success, despite all evidence to the contrary? That’s all of our business.
We’re Watching, and We’re Not Impressed.
So, dear Trump cultists, both American and Canadian: we’re onto you. We see your bullshit, your hypocrisy, your complete detachment from reality. And we’re not buying a single second of it.
We’re your neighbours, your allies, your friends—but we’re not your doormats. We’re polite, but we’re not fucking stupid. And right now? We’re watching. Closely.
Canadians and indeed, the world as a whole, owes some backhanded thanks to that Orange Baboon and his co-president, Elonia. My family and my friends are in active “boycott” mode and this has taught me, at any rate, how dastardly an influence media advertisements truly have, in our daily lives.
Commercials on streaming apps, television, radio (Does anyone listen to radio anymore?) and social media have led us to believe their products are ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to have a happy, fulfilled life, their products show our success to our peers, our society.
The boycott is showing me, in real time, how truly dangerous this mindset is proving to be.
No one NEEDS Starbucks; find a coffee blend you love, fill up a travel mug and we’ve saved yourself time and money. MacDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, ask yourself if your end goal is to look like a beach ball with feet. If you must have a fast meal to go, A&W is Canadian, uses Canadian beef, or Harvey’s – also Canadian, let’s not forget LaFleur if you are in Québec or La Belle Province if you’re hankering after a steamie and poutine.
Walmart is a big old NO; Giant Tiger offers tons of choice and comparable good, they also offer home delivery from their web site. https://www.gianttiger.com/
Costco, now that’s a tricky one; Costco Canada buys most of their products from Canadian sources, the baked goods (YUMMERS!!) are made in Canada. Some of the produce is American, but easy enough to avoid.
You don’t need the latest iPhone/iPAD/Mac – there are plenty of higher quality and less proprietary brands out there, Samsung for example, LG is another one. And if you really want to do a personal F.U. to Diaper Don and his crew of Russian buddies, buy a Huawei.
Clothing – loads of Canadian options out there, https://madeinca.ca/ is a good resource.
Proctor & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson – American; look for Canadian options or in the case of cleaning products, make your own. The internet is full of helpful ways to wean yourself off American products.
Jamieson Vitamins are Canadian.
We’re not renewing our Prime membership, it will be a little inconvenient as we do live in a rural area, but inconvenience isn’t an excuse as far as we are concerned.
Can we avoid American products without too much grief? Yes. Getting out of the habit of believing ads and social media hype, buying what you need as opposed to what corporations WANT you to buy, is freeing, it is a boost to the Canadian economy and sovereignty
