I saw an interview with Michael Moore around the time that Trump was becoming disturbingly popular. He said (not verbatim) “Trump is not the problem, he’s the symptom of what’s happening in the U.S.”. Wow. No truer words. I doubt he realized how the fever would overtake a country that was grown from immigrants, now demonizing immigrants.

And then there’s the Nordic countries. Not perfect, but free health, free education and consistently ranked the happiest in the world. Apparently they’re doing something right. You know, looking after their citizens.

Agreed. 90,000,000 people in the U.S didn’t vote in their last election. If you don’t want to become an American via PP, don’t act like one. Get out and vote for Canada’s sovereignty! 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

90,000,000 people in the U.S. didn’t vote in the last election. You can see how that’s working out for them. If you don’t want to become an American, don’t act like one. Get out and VOTE!!! 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 Our sovereignty is at stake.

If he won’t get security clearance, he’s hiding something. Remember that when you vote.

Actually, it IS a damnation of PP. Jeremy MacKenzie is a right-wing activist who created the alt-right group Diagolon, which the House of Commons of Canada reported as a “violent extremist group”. He is a firearms enthusiast and has stated that there is a race war occurring in the US, and described the Nuremberg Trials as a kangaroo court.

This is the NEW U.S.

PP has been distancing himself from this guy, but the picture says it all: Jeremy McKenzie is a Canadian political figure known for his involvement in right-wing movements and as a prominent figure in the “Diagalon” movement, which has been associated with far-right ideologies. He gained attention for his controversial views and statements, particularly regarding issues like government policies and public health measures. In 2022, it was reported that McKenzie was running for a seat in the House of Commons as a candidate for the People’s Party of Canada (PPC). However, he faced challenges, including issues related to security clearance, which may have impacted his candidacy. Just like PP: security clearance issues…

Agreed. In the end, there has been too much suffering and atrocities in the name of religion (and politics). People burned alive, beheaded, drawn and quartered. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia torn from his family and sent to El Salvador for now particular reason. And the US saying, “Too bad, he’s not coming back”.

Who else running for the position of Prime Minister of Canada REFUSED to get security clearance??? And why does your explanation not apply to all the other candidates? Hmmm……

Actually, I think a lot of women like having a man in their life. I know I do. My relationship with my “man friend" is not traditional. We have separate residences. We spend a lot of time with each other: holidays, overnights, entertaining, travelling, etc. To me it’s perfect. Obviously this wouldn’t be ideal if children were part of the plan, but they are not.

However, women are NOT incubators. Women are NOT here for men to get their “rocks off”. Women are NOT men’s servants. Women fought long and hard for the right to vote! American politics has begun a campaign to strip women of the fundamental right to vote. So, yah, I’m feeling the hate too, muusemuuse…

Unfortunately, I’m afraid there are a whole lot of “bro’s” that want just that.

“Deus Vult” is a Latin phrase meaning “God wills it,” historically used as a rallying cry during the Crusades. It signifies the belief that military actions were sanctioned by divine will. The term “crusade” first referred to military expeditions undertaken by European Christians in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries to the Holy Land. The conflicts to which the term is applied have been extended to include other campaigns initiated, supported and sometimes directed by the Latin Church with varying objectives, mostly religious, sometimes political. These differed from previous Christian religious wars in that they were considered a penitential exercise, and so earned participants remittance from penalties for all confessed sins. What constituted a crusade has been understood in diverse ways, particularly regarding the early Crusades, and the precise definition remains a matter of debate among contemporary historian.

But, basically, hundreds of thousands of people were murdered and tortured because some psychopath decided they were carrying out “god’s will”—aka "I’m using religion as an excuse to exercise my desire to control and subdue people to my ends”.

Time to change this. It should be required that anyone running for Prime Minister of Canada submit to a security clearance.

Or, there’s something he doesn’t want exposed??

I think it’s always been there. I believe it’s only now that it has become “acceptable” to spew that poison. Trump in the U.S. is a perfect example: Mocking a disabled reporter; calling Mexicans drug dealers, criminals, and rapists; African Americans, "He was among the loudest voices behind a baseless attack on the legitimacy of the nation’s first Black president: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/every-moment-donald-trumps-long-complicated-history-race. Need I continue? Exactly when did misinformation become acceptable—and mainstream? Maybe when education became grossly underfunded? Maybe when “critical thinking” became excluded from our education? Hence the banning of books, that used to be required reading?

Oh no! Anyways…
