Proverbs warns "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." As a Catholic school grad, Schmitt should have heeded the warning.

Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.”

Had occasion to read the Declaration of Independence yesterday after reading a claim that it confirmed the US was a Christian nation. It doesn't, but I never realized the list of grievances against the Crown including allowing the practice of Catholicism in Quebec. Seems very un-Christian.

Trump is offering a $5,000 dividend to every adult American, but it is really just a loan, because the US will have to add $1.5 trillion to its $40 trillion in taxpayer debt to pay for it..

OPINION: "Meeting & befriending people of different ethnicities, nationalities & faiths helped me dispel some of my preconceived notions that, in retrospect, were unfair," Schumann writes. "(They) shared their cultures with me & … gave me grace in moments when I didn’t always understand their ways."

Canada should rename the Columbia River. Why should we have a river named by for an American ship by an American captain?

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

LOL, Republican CNN panelist called Prime Minister Mark Carney, formerly of Goldman Sachs and later Brookfield Asset Management, a "socialist". It suggests the GOP wants MAGA to believe anything to the left of Milton Friedman is a Communist.

Why can't Americans manage their forests better? Canadians shouldn't have to suffer from this. Maybe Carney should impose tariffs to stop the smoke.

That's what happens when you rush to prove Trump's lies are truth.
