Thoughts on Trump:
All thugs attempt intimidation.
They will only get their way if our leaders would rather fight each other than address the bigger bully.
Canadians don't expect a magic wand.

The real source of social unrest is the Israeli lobby. Zionist thieves, supremacists, and never commits to the truth. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...
The Zionist lobby, antisemitism and Herzog
Australia’s political and media response to Gaza, including the invitation to Israel’s president, reflects the influence of pro-Israel lobbying and the shrinking space for lawful criticism.

Here's an idea: raise the federal minimum wage.
That could mean adults with jobs are paid salaries that lift them above eligibility guidelines, disqualifying them for safety-net benefits.
Another idea: eliminate carve outs that let employers get around health insurance mandates.
