Not “White” BE CAREFUL

I think we are all aware that Dementia Don pulled the whole B2 thing to divert from the disaster he has created in the U.S. The branches of this disgusting manoeuvre is chilling.

T.A.C.O. Trump, the tyrant has already enabled the racists and all other bottom dwellers, to rise up and inflict their rot on every day Americans. This move will embolden them, even further.

Due to the deplorable state of the American education system, much of the U.S. couldn’t find Iran on a map, let alone understand the intricacies of her culture. Identify someone from Iran? Anyone not suffering from melanin deprivation, will become a target of hate (more than usual).

The world has watched the Jan. 6th insurrectionists don ICE uniforms and face masks (the same masks they railed against during the pandemic because CO₂ or some such nonsense) zip tie children, kidnap innocent people off the streets and accuse aboriginal (Native) Americans of being illegal immigrants…such is their level of intelligence. I would harbour a guess and say that their collective I.Q. is 3 and it takes 2 to bark…

It is a dangerous, dangerous time to not sport glow-in-the-dark freckled skin in the United States. Please, dear friends, dear neighbours, be careful. Do not go out alone. Invest in a ring doorbell and use it, do not answer your door, to strangers. I know, most of you have employed these safety methods already but encourage friends, co-workers, neighbours to do the same. Don’t underestimate the racist threats to your families and yourselves. The words, “Sleeper Cells”, “Terrorists” are already appearing in the rags, online and otherwise, of the racist right, don’t dismiss this as just the nutbars – Diaper Don has normalized racism, normalized racist propaganda and will continue to divert the American people from the tanking of the economy, the Billionaire Bonus Bill and the grassroot rise of protests against his regime.

Be safe. Be careful.

War Pigs and the Fortunate Sons and Daughters;

Epidemic of Bone Spurs in the Works?

Middle East: I heard some Trumpian dickhead blather that they would have “boots on the ground” and Hegseth, the incompetent and rumoured drunk/molester, dribble something about “assets in the Middle East”. Personally, I think he watched the Bourne movies once too often.

I am a late stage Boomer; WWII had been over for almost 15 years, the Korean conflict had ended over 5 years previous to my birth but, in 1965, Johnson started to send soldiers to a country, over 13 800 kms (apox. 8500 miles for U.S. folk). No direct threat to the U.S. but took the lives of 58 200 of American youth. This was the conflict, in which, Trump was ordered to serve but as is the family legacy, the Trump tail was tucked between the legs and suddenly, there were “bone spurs”.

I remember Vietnam, first war to be broadcast into our living/family rooms. Over the next decade, I met a few of the resisters, who had fled to Canada. They weren’t deserters, they were resisters. Refusing to fight a war that did not threaten their country, in any way, shape or form.

There is no draft per se, anymore; there is, however the mandatory Selective Service mandate (I wonder if Barron registered…) So the middle, working, and impoverished classes are still in danger of being called up and sent to the Middle East to fight in yet another military action with no impact on America. To fight in yet another “created” action.

Created, once again, by Netanyahu. Big surprise. (🙄).

Here’s the timeline;

Friday, June 13, 2025 — Israel launches blistering attacks on the heart of Iran’s nuclear and military structure, deploying warplanes and drones previously smuggled into the country to assault key facilities and kill top generals and scientists.

Saturday, June 14, 2025 — Israel expands its airstrikes to include targets in Iran’s energy industry as Iranian missile and drone attacks continue on Israel.

Sunday, June 15, 2025 — Israel unleashes airstrikes across Iran for a third day and threatens even greater force as some Iranian missiles evade Israeli air defenses to strike buildings in the heart of the country. Planned talks on Iran’s nuclear program in Oman between the United States and Tehran, which could provide an off-ramp, are called off.

Lots of breast beating about nuclear capabilities of Iran…yes, I would be concerned about a country as volatile as Iran having nuclear capabilities but I am equally as concerned by Israel, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Russia (frankly, with Dementia Don in charge, I am concerned about the U.S. as well) possessing nuclear weapons.

Be prepared, young Americans, to head north. I have a couple of spare rooms. Sadly, I am not being facetious.

The Fall of the American Empire

We are watching it, in real time.

I have to confess, I have been anti-American government since the early 1970’s. As a Canadian and having a Dad who was a news junkie, I was exposed to American media and propaganda from an early age. I watched the Vietnam war, watched the riots, watched the National Guard shoot down innocent students, protesting a criminal war, Stonewall. The list goes one.

None of this is to say, Canada didn’t have its own share of civil unrest. FLQ and the Oka crisis come to mind.

I saw and actually made friends with young folks fleeing the draft. Leaving their homes, their families, their friends, in protest over risking their lives, in a foreign land that posed, absolutely, no threat to the U.S. Instead, it was a ruse to improve corporate profits.

The U.S. realized, during WWII, the Korean conflict, Vietnam that war was a great way to enrich that 1%. Easy money. Easy blood money, because you best believe few of the offspring of that 1% fought. Case in point: president Bon Spur.

I was so happy to see Barack Obama win in 2009. I truly thought that there was hope for the U.S. Then he was re-elected and I thought, for sure, this meant the U.S. was heading toward a successful future…I was sorely disappointed.

I knew, early on, that I did not want Canada to mirror the U.S. I wanted Canada to be better, to welcome diversity and inclusion. We have our own culture Nazis – most in Alberta and my own province of Québec. Behaving as if their own ancestors simply popped out of Canadian soil…Spoiler Alert! They didn’t.

I don’t buy “American” and rarely, ever did. Not a difficult thing, as most goods, thanks to American corporate greed, once again (cheap labour and materials), are not made in the U.S.

I don’t vacation in the States. For the past 30 years – since ’95, when we did vacation, it was here, in Canada or Cuba.

The U.S. is bound to implode, not due to diversity or inclusion. Not due to immigration but due to corporations that run that nation. People go bankrupt for the want of healthcare. Rights of workers to a balanced life. The overt racism. And again, the move of manufacturing from the U.S. to foreign lands where workers were cheap and would have no protection from exploitation, augured the demise of their economy. They are dependent on foreign lands yet, Dementia Donald felt it necessary to further tax the American people, through tariffs. Either he has no understanding of how they work or he is relying on the ignorance of his base supporters to further the nonsense that tariffs are paid by trading partners to the U.S. THAT. IS. NOT. HOW TARIFFS WORK!! The buyer pays the tariffs, not the importer, the costs are, then, passed down to the consumer.

Canada has long needed to move away from American dependence. We can import our own goods from the nations manufacturing those goods, instead of the American-Middleman economy.

As for national defense? Defense against whom? The only enemies to our sovereignty currently, is Putin and his sock puppet, Diaper Don. We will build our military, we will maintain and foster our alliance with Europe, with Asia.

American propaganda needs to be fought, at grassroots level. https://www.nokings.org/

They are not the global leaders they claim to be. It is propaganda. They are a nation in debt, a nation that has lost its identity and worse, the respect of the world. By the way? This song came out in 1970….

Felon in the White House; What Could, Possibly, Go Wrong?

I hear a lot of, “But its illegal!”, “But its against the rules of Congress!”, “But its against the Constitution!”

Hush now, sit down a spell and let’s have a little confab, shall we?

Legality, rules of government, the Constitution are only applicable when and if these institutions and laws are respected. When you have a CONVICTED FELON in the role of president (The lower case “p” is on purpose, I won’t afford the felon the respect of a capitalization.)

Millions of people voted to put a criminal and, blatantly, obvious sociopath in charge and somehow, Americans and, in fact, the globe seem shocked at the events unfolding.

Absolutely, Hegseth should have been canned, in fact, he shouldn’t be in that position at all. According to rumour and these are rumours, he would be far more “at home” perving on a barstool somewhere. No qualifications, no relevant experience…but here we are.

The list of likeminded sociopaths in positions of power, within the U.S. government is a criminal psychologist wet dream.

Forget what you have learned about the Constitution of the United States, forget what you have learned about the 3 Arms of Government, forget about the rule of law, justice and the “Murican” way.

These concepts are gone. Not valid. Of no importance.

The elected and/or appointed (Musk) sociopaths/psychopaths are in charge and? They. Don’t. Care. Laws and decorum, procedure and truth are all relative as to what these things can bring in the way of personal benefit to them.

You are, America…SCREWED.

Let me repeat a little something – there is a CONVICTED FELON in the White House, in the most powerful position in your country. A. CONVICTED. FELON. His sociopathy is right there, for all to see, yet millions of your country folk voted him in.

America is very ill. It has lost its way. Propaganda is King. Truth is buried in a backyard, a swamp or wherever psychopaths bury bodies.

For decades Americans have been fed the lie that they are the best country in the world, the most free, the most successful. Perhaps, at one time, in the long ago, this was true. It is true no longer.

Don’t ask why these things are happening, pick up a “Psychology for Dummies” book and read about sociopaths, psychopaths and narcissists. There is no more justice because these people don’t recognize justice as valid…to them and as they are in charge? You, my dear American friends and family, are finished as a nation. May as well call it “Trump Land” and be done with it.

January 6th and the pardoning of these traitor, killers and insurrectionists was your 2 Minute Warning and it was ignored.

We all have to wake up – globally, wake up and smell the coffee; we can survive and prosper without this racist, untrustworthy and swirling the bowl country.

It was all lies, propaganda – the U.S. is not the successful economic giant it claimed to be. It holds the largest national debt, by far, in the world. The WORLD. Debt is not a hallmark of success, particularly at this rate.

Time to wave our collective middle fingers in their direction and move toward a bright future, not marred by the Golden Arches or Super Size fries. Dump the U.S. treasury bonds, call in the loans and allow the propaganda machine to crash and burn.

Well, Watched the Débat des Chefs..

Due to the last minute candidate in my riding, someone I felt was, absolutely, ill-equipped for this election, I felt it was vital to watch the debate. I was on the fence, it was either the Liberals or the B.Q. (due to the highest respect I have for our current M.P, a BQ member). I do resent the rush job for the Liberal candidate the L.P.C. seems to have done. I still resent it and I’m pretty angry but right now, there is too much at stake and after listening to the debate? There’s no question, Liberal it will be.

Carney spoke well, explained positions and answered the questions clearly. He remained dignified and sincere, I was impressed with his answers and his overall demeanor. I can’t lie, I was praying for him to tell Poilievre to suck an egg…

Blanchet? I was sorely disappointed, he came off as a one-trick-pony with a tenuous grasp on the current political/socio-economic threat from the south. Yes, Yves-François – we all get it, as a Québeçoise, I fully understand the importance of protecting French and Québec culture however, it is time to remove your blinders and that elitist attitude you seem to possess. We are under attack from the pseudo-dictator to our south. Serious attack. It was time for speaking out for unity against a common enemy and he failed…miserably. I do owe him a “Merci” for helping me decide what to do on the 28th. He is not qualified to represent Québec in a crisis situation.

Jagmeet Singh…wow, that was a colossal failure. He came off as whiny and unable to grasp the whole platform. He had talking points but little, if not nothing, in the way of solutions. I could not see him in negotiations with you-know-who. He was a non-starter for me anyway. While I am not, a Liberal as a rule, the way he turned on an agreement with the Liberal party made me seriously question his ethics.

P.P – nothing but word salad. The same talking points, lots of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs but he proposed nothing. There was a lot of garbage about the Liberals dividing Canadians when, in fact, he aided the division on more than one occasion, was seen chummy with alt-right wingnuts, the Klown Konvoy and those are things, many Canadians, myself included, will never forget. His proposed use of the Notwithstanding Clause should fill everyone with horror. This whole ensuring mass murderers stay in jail is a scam, a lie, bullshit. It is nothing more than a test run; if it works, then abortion will be outlawed, women and healthcare professionals will be under threat. Best believe gay rights will be next, the LGBTQ2S communities will be decimated.

So, I guess Liberal it will be. I will not live in a country governed by a man who caters to misogynists, homophobes, anti-immigration, pseudo-Nazi trailer trash.

What is happening?!?

I’m beyond shocked; my flabbers have been ghasted. (Yes, there is flippancy in that comment but it is self-preservation; I’m scared, I’m disgusted. Did I mention I was scared?)

One of the “power people’ is a pseudo-Christian Nationalist – Paula White, she of the “Prosperity Gospel” “prosperity gospel,” (the idea that God wants believers to be financially prosperous). They re-write history, why stop there, right? Re-write the bible while we’re at it. I’m not Christian anymore, haven’t been for a very, very long time but I was one, once; indoctrinated by 3 different religions as a child; Roman Catholicism, United Methodist and a smattering of Ukrainian Orthodox. Believe me, I know the bible…I also am very familiar with Christian hypocrisy but this White person? Oh man, she has leveled up to top tier in the hypocrisy department. (This link is a little insight into this particular piece of garbage

https://www.thelist.com/273479/the-truth-about-trumps-spiritual-advisor-paula-white/

Diaper Don doesn’t care about religion, he’s above any god’s law, in his little psychopathic brain. If the country becomes White-Xtian-Nationalist, he doesn’t give a rat’s ass, as long as the money keeps pouring in. Same with White – she wouldn’t recognize a godly act if it hit her (deservedly) in the face.

I’m watching and listening, not just to the U.S. descent into Nazism 2.0 but our own flirtation with it, via Pee-Pee Poilievre and his gang of racist misogynist blockheads.

All this to say, I need another break from all this; I’m wandering around with a constant stress headache and my stomach is in knots from the frustration and supreme disappointment in the human race.

Vote Canada – Vote!! Whether NDP, BQ or Green, this time around, do not split the vote! Vote Liberal and send a resounding message to the parties that Canadians are not going to put up with this bullshit any longer.

7 Reasons Why Poilievre Should Be Shown The Door

Excellent article, although 3 years old, outlining why this clown is a big mistake for Canadians and an even bigger mistake for Canada as a whole.

7 Reasons to be Afraid of Pierre Poilievre, the New Conservative Party Leader

Who is Pierre Poilievre

 Pierre Poilievre is a 43-year-old Canadian politician who has served as the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, is the current leader of the Official Opposition, and has served as a Parliament (MP) member since 2004. Poilievre is a compelling, sharp speaker who has a considerable social media presence and is idolized by Conservatives across the country, particularly among the younger set which currently represents the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton. He is a relentless questioner in Parliament who sometimes gets the better of Justin Trudeau. Perhaps most importantly, Poilievre receives a lot of play in the media and has been floated as the leadership favorite in multiple publications. Assuming personal concerns do not derail Poilievre, he could very well be the Conservative leader by this summer or fall. Poilievre looks young, but he is an unreformed Conservative activist who looks up to Margaret Thatcher and Jordan Peterson. He’s not a “compassionate Conservative” like O’Toole or a “tepid populist” like Doug Ford. Poilievre is a reactionary austerity zealot like Jason Kenney. He will fight unions, suffocate the public sector, and cut welfare, even if these policies are very unpopular.

With Patrick Brown kicked out of the Conservative Party of Canada leadership race, it became a one-horse race, making the coronation of Poilievre as CPC leader all but a done deal. This is particularly scary when you remember that a part of Canada just doesn’t vote in elections.

Additionally, the pattern in Canada has been that the party that has been in power for a long time (like Trudeau’s liberals) often is ousted, making the next CPC party leader a severe contender for the next Prime Minister of Canada. 

A little background about Mr. Poilievre

Support for Poilievre picked up during his endorsement of the early 2022 Freedom Convoy – which he took to heart, running for leadership with the claim of making Canada “the freest country in the world” (**peak Trump 2016 energy**). And this is where we need to be concerned: Poilievre has expertly capitalized on a clear and meticulously crafted populist platform, which has been nothing short of political catnip for Conservatives. Poilievre’s supporters are done with the “Progressive” part of the Conservative agenda and are looking for a drastic, right-wing change to Canada’s political landscape. Listen, if we’ve learned anything over the past few years, the horrific bullshit that goes on in the US always seems to mirror itself here in Canada just after we convince ourselves it can’t get that bad. From an alt-right President

To the Capitol riots: Pierre Poilievre and his supporters are no exception to this rule.

“Poilievre, who was given the nickname “Skippy” as a very young MP, has been one of the most prominent figures in the House of Commons since he was elected in 2004, largely as a result of his rhetorical abilities and his gleeful compulsion to engage in any partisan fight and fight to the death for it. He has been described in media stories over the years as “probably one of the more generally infuriating individuals on Parliament Hill” and someone who “savagely attack[s] opponents without regard to nuance, or even the basic facts.

Now let’s discuss seven things why I think Canadians should be afraid of Pierre Poilievre. 

1 FREEDOM CONVOY

Poilievre supported the unlawful blockades and openly opposed the vaccine mandates that provoked the protests for the entirety of the convoy. Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Trudeau at a rally for supposedly attacking truckers, who he said were the “heroes” of the pandemic. Even though freedom of thought and expression are pillars of our democratic democracy (which all Canadian political parties fervently embrace), it is essential to recall that the Freedom Convoy was a white supremacist campaign and city occupation that lasted for weeks. We know that many well-meaning Canadians became involved in this, including people on the left and people of colour, but that doesn’t change the fact that the organizers are members of the far-right white supremacist organization.

2 POILIEVRE ON COVID-19

Poilievre’s position on the COVID-19 epidemic has centred on a severe lack of scientific data, the promotion of individual interests over collective needs, a white privilege belief that inconvenience is oppression, and a whole of anti-government mandate crap. At the height of the pandemic, Poilievre gave a speech to a conference room of over 250 unmasked individuals while the Quebec government still had mask and capacity mandates in effect. He breached the law and showed off about it. In addition to his absurd anti-mask, anti-mandate, and anti-government beliefs, Poilievre was openly against vaccines and has admitted that he believes that Canadians from systemically oppressed communities, such as those who are low-income, racialized, disabled, or homeless, have not experienced a different side of this pandemic. We do not know whether this is an act of deliberate ignorance or a political ploy to mobilize bigots. Still, regardless, this individual cannot be the leader of our country because just picture what his policies would be.

3 ON TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION

Our government already does not do enough to address the systemic injustices and brutality it has historically inflicted against Indigenous peoples and continues to inflict upon them in the present day. However, our government has at least acknowledged the harm it has previously caused. Although that isn’t sufficient, it is much more than Pierre anticipates or thinks the CPC can do under his leadership. Even Harper said sorry for the bad things that happened in residential schools. What did Poilievre say?

“Canada’s aboriginals need to learn the value of hard work more than they need compensation for abuse suffered in residential schools. Poilievre defended the tip line that allowed people to report “barbaric cultural practices.” This tells us that his policies will further oppress indigenous and marginalized people while giving white nationalists a visible, outspoken, and racist rationale for their actions.

4 ON ABORTION RIGHTS

Poilievre claimed to be pro-choice during his debate last month, but his record with abortion laws has been inconsistent. He previously supported Motion 312 (a review of when a child becomes a human being under Canadian law) and a bill increasing the criminal penalty for the ‘murder of an unborn child.’ He’s giving us “tell us you’re pro-forced birth, without saying your pro-forced birth” energy.

5 ON BILL C-36:

Before I talk about Poilievre’s stance on it, let me tell you briefly what BILL C-36 is about. On November 6, 2014, Bill C-36, also known as the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act, was given royal assent. Bill C-36 says that prostitution is a form of sexual exploitation that affects women and girls more than men. Its overall objectives are to: Protect communities from the harms caused by prostitution, especially minors; protect those who sell their own sexual services and reduce the demand for prostitution and its incidence.

The new criminal law system is meant to protect the dignity and equality of all Canadians. It does this by condemning and outlawing the purchase of sexual services, the exploitation of the prostitution of others, the development of economic interests in the sexual exploitation of others, and the institutionalization of prostitution through commercial enterprises like strip clubs, massage parlours, and escort agencies that offer sexual services for sale. In addition, it attempts to encourage victims of violence to disclose violent incidents to the police and exit the prostitution industry. To that purpose, the federal government has allocated an additional $20 million to assist people in leaving prostitution.

Now back to Poilievre’s stance, he wants to repeal Bill C-36, which protects us from hate speech that is considered by courts to likely lead to hate crimes. Why in the hell would we need a PM who’s openly against the safety of systemically oppressed communities at higher risk for experiencing violence?

6 ON THE LONG-GUN REGISTRY

Poilievre wants to eliminate the Long-Gun Registry, which keeps guns from getting into the wrong hands by requiring all restricted and banned guns to be registered. BTW  it’s why there are so few mass shootings in Canada. In an era when tight gun regulations are vitally necessary to safeguard civilians, Poilievre wants to do away with this. (are we going to have a Canadian Texas sometime soon? Hopefully not.)

7 ON THE CARBON TAX

One of the first things Poilievre would do in office is repealing the Carbon Tax, a policy instituted to mitigate climate change. Could we also say that our next prime minister will have the last chance to decide our future regarding the climate crisis?  Vote as if your life depends on it because it does if you’re under the age of 45.

Splash of Cold Racist Water….

No secret I despise Poilievre; I see him as a Trump sycophant catering to the basest of Canadians, the racists and self-serving knotheads who showed themselves, brilliantly, during the pandemic.

Be that as it may, this coming election is ripping the false faces off of family and friends, and, for me anyway, it is devastating. People I had respected, people I had liked and counted as “friends” pulling aside the smiles, making me realize that I seem to be a poor judge of character. How did I miss the racism, the hypocrisy? 😳

Find a Poilievre supporter and scratch the surface. Usually, they are anti-immigration among a myriad of other dog whistles BUT, and that is the big old “BUT”, their anti-immigration only seems to extend to those folks who are not melanin-challenged. Those folks who don’t attend church on Sunday, opting for a mosque, for a temple.

The biggest disappointment was from a long time acquaintance, rabidly anti-immigration and blaming Trudeau, immigrants for everything and then some. Oh, this individual listed a whole whack of Poilievre talking points, that were, actually, quite easily, debunked. However, it appears having the debate was not an option and any views not jiving with this individual’s faulty bulleted list was enough for name-calling. Ironically, this person IS AN IMMGRANT, but not from one of “Those” countries.

I’ve worked in transport, in various areas, all my life and I’ve seen the racism within the industry rise to unprecedented levels. I’ve left discussion groups as a result. Yes, I did try to counter the slurs and the misinformation but these people do not want to understand, do not want to look at facts, the only thing seen is the skin colour and usually, the religion although most of them seem to think that Sikh’s are Muslim and the other way around. They can’t find India, Pakistan, Ghana or the Middle East on a map but are experts, apparently, on the cultures.

The thing is, this individual SHOULD know better, working with folks of differing cultures as well but once the blindness of racism becomes a part of character, “Should” is no longer an option.

I am prepared to cut this diatribe from my life, it serves no purpose. I don’t need to learn how racists think, I have seen how it works over and over, in my lifetime. While, for many years, they had to hide their ugliness, Diaper Don, Bernier and Poilievre seem to be giving them license to expose themselves. Fine, it allows the rest of us to avoid the filth and keep on creating an inclusive society.

Dear Magats and Trumpers/ettes

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.

Warmest regards,

A Canadian Who’s Had Enough of Your Bullshit

The short and long answer: No, we are not living in a dictatorship.

But judging by the internet meltdown, you’d think Mark Carney seized power in a midnight coup while riding a moose.

Let’s get one thing straight: this is exactly how our democratic system works.

How Canada Actually Elects a Prime Minister

You don’t vote for a Prime Minister. You vote for your local MP. The only people who ever saw Justin Trudeau’s name on a ballot were the folks in his riding.

Everyone else voted for their local Liberal, Conservative, NDP, or other candidate. The leader of the party with the most seats becomes Prime Minister.

So when Trudeau stepped down and the Liberals picked Mark Carney, it wasn’t some shady backroom power grab. It was democracy in action.

But Carney Wasn’t Elected! Isn’t That Undemocratic?

Nope. And it’s not even unusual. Here’s a quick history lesson for the outrage brigade:

• Sir John A. Macdonald

• Sir John Abbott (took over after Macdonald died)

• Mackenzie King

• John Turner

• Kim Campbell (Remember her? 1993. Became PM after Brian Mulroney stepped down.)

None of them were elected as an MP at the time they became Prime Minister. It’s happened before. It’s completely legal. It’s just how our system works.

“But Trudeau Shut Down Parliament! That’s TREASON!”

Ah yes, proroguing Parliament. That sounds bad, right? Well, let me introduce you to Stephen Harper, 2009.

Faced with a non-confidence vote, Harper shut down Parliament. Back then, Conservatives called it a “brilliant strategic move.” Now, when a Liberal does the exact same thing, they scream “dictatorship!”

Newsflash: It’s not illegal. It’s not a conspiracy. It’s not even new.

So What Happens Now?

Carney is expected to call an election very soon. Why? Because the Liberals don’t want to delay. They know that dragging this out would hurt them, not help them. So, an election is coming. You will get your say.

Oh, and About Poilievre?

Here’s something else that’s conveniently missing from the outrage machine: Pierre Poilievre still doesn’t have the security clearance required to become Prime Minister.

That’s right. To run the country, you need top-level security clearance. As of now, Poilievre doesn’t have it—and it’s not because of some Liberal conspiracy. Every party leader needs to pass this vetting process. If he can’t, he can’t be Prime Minister. Period.

So maybe, just maybe, the Conservatives should worry less about screaming “dictatorship” and more about whether their leader can legally hold the job he’s campaigning for.

Final Thought: Take a Deep Breath, Canada.

You wanted Trudeau gone? He’s gone.

You wanted an election? It’s coming.

Now do your part. Get ready. Show up. Vote. That’s democracy.” ❤🇨🇦
