Canadians, this won't be easy, but the US has given us a wake-up call. We cannot allow our country to be reliant on any country the way we are on the US. We need the freedom to run our country as we decide, that can't happen when another country can hold our wellbeing hostage to their demands.

They don’t want to be liked, they just want absolute power.
If you have to gerrymander, engage in vote suppression, and offer an illegal $5,000 bribe to get people to vote for you, might that not be a clue the electorate really don't like you and your policies ? Just saying .. 🤔 .. (cartoon David Horsey)

Look at this loathsome repulsive creature yelling at a reporter. In addition to the fact that he’s the worst president in US history, he’s one of the worst human beings on planet earth. His supporters have a very serious defect in their character.
