Enough!!
Mark, it looks like you were giving Donald a piece of your mind at the World Cup final. Like the mature adult that he is, he levied more tariffs on us yesterday. He is a total freaking scum.
Mark, you have to realize that we are super pissed, us Canadians are right now at Trump and at what he represents. He is a bully and he will push and push and push. You cannot back down to bullies.
I know, we Canadians know, and sadly, Donald Trump knows that you can run rings around him. You give him, deservedly, an inferiority complex.
You have been conciliatory with him in the past and we all understand that. But enough is enough. We cannot back down anymore. Hard for me to say, but you need to get a bit of Doug Ford into your approach mixed in with your let’s be calm and cool approach.
Do not even think of influencing the provinces to drop their liquor ban on US imports. There have been other suggestions made such as an export tax on potash and oil and gas. We know that won’t work not with Doug Moe and Danielle Smith. If you try to do that, the loony separatist might even win in Alberta. So we can’t go there.
I don’t know how you’re gonna do this Mark. But you can’t back down, not anymore. Because if you do, you’re gonna lose a lot of supporters.

Look Closely
This week will be a big news week again with Iran, exploding into what is likely to be full scale hostilities. Three American service members lost their lives and another one is missing. Russia also had its largest attack on Kiev on Saturday night, which many look at as an act of desperation.
But go back to yesterday and the World Cup finale where Spain deservedly won the cup, and where the Argentinian goalie should be suing for non-support.
Note the two images above These were taken seconds apart during the World Cup presentation. Notice the second picture. To the right, Donald Trump is included in the picture. Then notice the first image where Donald Trump is magically gone. The world media decided to crop him out of the picture. There’s an actual hot mic capture saying that they will crop him out
The FIFA president tried unsuccessfully to get him out of the picture while these photos were being taken. Donald Trump wanted to be in the picture because that’s the way he is as everybody knows.
So what the FIFA president failed to do the world media did instead. Donald Trump is losing and has lost all respect. When he came onto the field to present the World Cup, he was booed vehemently.
Donald will forget all this because that also is the way he is. But whether he likes it or not, he has an Iran nightmare to face this week where the Strait is again closed and gas is now at four dollars per gallon in the US.
That’s all I have for today.

Words Come Back To Haunt
Donald, you should really listen to yourself at times. I really mean that. You would realize how much of a fool you sound like.
Do you remember how many times you said that Iran‘s military was completely obliterated? Their Air Force, their navy their missile defense, all completely obliterated. . How are you going to explain to the families of the two military service members that Iran’s obliterated military killed them.
Remember back last June when you bombed Iran nuclear facilities that their nuclear capabilities were permanently obliterated? Not just obliterated, but permanently obliterated. Kaitlin Collins of CNN asked you about that a few months later. You nswered that well they have these machines that dug out the rubble. Say what?
How many times did you say that Iran was desperate for a deal? Yet here we are. You even said that you and Iran would co-manage the Strait of Hormuz. Not the US and Iran, but you and Iran. We are not sure whether you said that in jest or not
Do you remember when that MOU was signed a few weeks back. You said that the US got everything it wanted. I guess that is in tatters now isn’t it?
Oh and whatever possessed you to make that nationwide address address a few days ago, where you kind of relitigated a 2020 election. ABC didn’t carry it. NBC didn’t carry it. CBS started to carry it and then they cut away. CNN and. MS NOW carried only snippets. Even your own staff begged you not to do it, but you did it anyway.
Donald, we have all run out of f’s to give. We can’t believe anything you see anymore. Most of us didn’t believe anything you said to begin with. But you’re adding to that crowd now.
That’s all I have for today.

Canada To The Rescue
This is the CBC morning news.
The Canadian government, following high-level meetings with our NATO partners, have announced the following steps, in response to the chaos inflicted by Donald Trump in the United States
Canada will send a peacekeeping force to various portions of the US, including Idaho, Utah and the eastern portions of Washington and Oregon to help quell uprisings by far right militia extremists.
Canada will take part in the monitoring process of the midterm election coming up in November in the United States. Canada will ensure the integrity of the election process, which was thrown into disarray by Donald Trump.
Canada, along with all its NATO partners has decided not to allow Donald Trump in their countries while he awaits trial. It is reported that Vladimir Putin decided not to have Trump in his country. Putin supposedly said. ‘ I have enough troubles already. I don’t need this blow hard in my country.’. It is said that Iran has offered to take Trump into custody until the trial is held. Iran has also volunteered to host the trial.
Donald Trump currently is in an unknown location. He is reported to have said. ‘ why should a stable genius like myself be held in a shit hole country. I passed all my tests. They showed me five animals, and I correctly named all of them, except for the last one.’
This is all we have on the situation for now. We will keep you updated as more news comes out.

American Intelligence?
This is what Toronto looked like yesterday. This scene was repeated in a number of US northern cities, such as Chicago, Boston, Detroit, and New York City. The fires have destroyed some communities in Northwestern Ontario. Passenger train transportation between Winnipeg and Toronto have been cancelled for the time being. Roads have been closed. So far, thankfully there have been no fatalities.
If you go on the Facebook pages, you will see a remarkable amount of American vitriol, directed at Canada. Comments such as do something about this or else. What does the or else means? You mean you’re gonna invade our country. Try it. Have you ever messed around with the Canada goose. Try it and you know what you will be in for if you try to mess with us.
OK, my last few sentences sound a bit over the top. But that’s nowhere close to over the top compared to the comments being seen on Facebook. One ignoramus denied that it was climate change because climate change has been debunked. Really? What guy in the basement living with his mom are you listening to? Idiots.
But just when you thought that American intelligence could go no lower there was some hope last night. Donald Trump gave his address to the nation with the topic being his lies about the 2020 election. NBC did not carry it. ABC did not carry it. CBS carried a bit of it. CNN and MS NOW carriedsnippets of it. That left FOX. Of course FOX. Of course, the audience on that channel are the ones sending the hateful Facebook posts to Canada. Coincidence? I think not. I did not watch thespeech, but apparently Donald Trump was very angry at the networks because they were not carrying his speech. Poor Donnie.
That’s all I have for today.

Too Much
There are a number of days that I wake up, expecting to see WTF headlines about Trump, and I’m not disappointed. There are some days though that I just wake up sick of heart and think that it’s gone too far and it’s never coming back. Donald Trump will be addressing the US nation tonight. I never thought I’d see the day where a president would address the nation about conspiracy theories, and his belief in them. He will talk about election fraud how the fraud caused him to lose 2020 election. He is going to attack the US election system. He is going to put democracy in doubt.
In the last couple of days, Donald Trump has overturned the ICE to not have any traffic stops after two apparently innocent people were shot and killed one in Maine and one in Texas.
Senator Jon Ossoff, of Georgia, stated a couple of days ago that most Republican senators believe that Donald Trump has lost it and will bring down the Republican party in the midterms. However, these Republican senators might be wrong because Trump is doing everything possible to pervert the legitimacy of the midterm elections coming up as evidenced by tonight’s upcoming address
Trump accused Democrats of weaponizing and politicizing the Department of justice when Joe Biden was president. Trump is doing it far worse as evidenced yesterday by Todd Blanche’s responses in his confirmation hearing yesterday. He actually made a Freudian slip by accidentally stating that he is Trump’s lawyer before saying that he was Trump’s lawyer.
I think a reason for my depression is that I had just finished a book by Len Deighton a spy novelist, entitled Winter. Part of the story in the book covered the rise of Hitler in the 1920s and 1930s in Germany. I could not help but see the striking similarities of what occurred back then and what is occurring now in the US.
It would be nice if the Major networks tonight did not carry Trump‘s address. But of course they will because news is news.
That’s all I really have to say for today.

Money Can’t Buy You Love
This is a picture of Pierre Poilievre, back in 2023, when the world was his oyster. He was expected to be the next Prime Minister. He had everything going for him. Relying on sayings such as ‘ax the tax’ and ‘ Canada is broken’ he thought he had it made
As late as December 2024, he had a 20 point lead and his conservatives were well on their way to a majority. The election was only four months away. What could go wrong?
Well, a smile upside down is a frown. Pierre not only lost the election. He lost his own seat.
More news came out today that adds to Pierre’s humiliation. According to elections Canada, the conservative raised a record $48.4 million during the campaign. The liberals only raised $29.6 million. Furthermore, the conservatives spent $99 million during the election campaign. The liberals spent barely half of that amount at $55 million.
This is somewhat stunning. Four months before the election the conservative had a 20 point lead. The conservative almost doubled the amount liberals raised, and almost doubled the amount spent. Yet they lost.
This is a telling indication of how badly managed the conservative campaign was and how off message Pierre Poilievre was. If Pierre is still around for the 2029 election campaign, it could end up in a strong Liberal majority government.
That’s all I have for today.

JUST ONE DAY
This is how much of a circus America has become under Trump. All the things mention below happened in just one day. Before Trump, each one of these events would’ve been headline news. Now hardly a ripple.
Conspiracy theorist and mainstream Republicans are questioning what is happening with Mitch McConnell and with the death of Lindsey Graham. Republicans are requesting a toxicology report on Lindsey Graham‘s body in the concern that he was assassinated, possibly by the Russians.
Republicans, such as Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsinare are saying that the picture Mitch McConnell with his wife was not taken recently. So the question remains what is going on with Mitch McConnell.
The administration has been saying that the Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway and tolls should never ever be used. Marco Rubio stated this repeatedly as recently as last month. Now Trump wants a 20% guardian of the strait toll.
ICE killed another person, this time in Maine. The department of homeland security is stating that shots were fired after the target was creating a risk to the public. It turns out that the person they killed was not the person they were going after. Rather it was an innocent civilian caught in the wrong place in the wrong time.
If that’s not enough a judge has overturned Trump’s $1.8 billion fund for people supposedly wronged by the Biden administration. This would include the January 6 insurrectionist. The judge said that the fund was a complete travesty of the justice system.
All this in one day.
That’s all I have for today.

At The Pearly Gates
“Lindsey, this is a surprise”
“Well, John, in all honesty I’m a bit surprised too. I just came back from Ukraine. Figured I’d have a nice relaxing evening and here I am.”
“So, John, do you think you can put a good word in with the big guy here? Maybe after I get in we could do a couple rounds of golf.”
“Well, Lindsey, in all honesty I think you’re gonna have to do some time in purgatory. You had a good run up until I passed. You remember back in 2015 when you were running for president and you called Trump a few nasty things. Things were looking good for you but then why the heck, I have to say heck because I can’t say the other word, did you go for Trump? Why Lindsey I just don’t understand?”
“Well, you know me, John, I always went with the front runner. Call it insanity or whatever. OK I guess I can handle a bit of time down in purgatory. But can you put a good word in for me anyway?”
“By the way, John, have you seen Mitch around here lately?“
“ Lindsey, the big guy doesn’t tell me everything so I don’t know if he’s up here or not yet. I do know he’s gonna be doing a hard time in the lower levels of purgatory. He could’ve had that demon Trump impeached after the whole January 6 thing but he didn’t. Oh, one more thing. It’s not the big guy. God is a She so now you can understand why She is not too pleased with Trump.”
“Oh. I guess Donald is gonna be in a bit of trouble once he comes here.”
“You don’t know the half of it, Lindsey.”
Wishing you all a heavenly day.

So I don't have to put it on Facebook anymore….
