PM Carney's decision to stand today with Israel & U.S. attacking Iran is in stark contrast to PM Jean Chrétien's bold but principled decision in 2003 not to follow the U.S. into Iraq. It was an important decision for Canada's independence! ( 2013 article) ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/canada...

Prime Minister Carney you could have just said nothing or least take your time to respond given the world wide stakes. - That would have been preferable. Sincerely A Canadian

The United States & Israel have launched strikes on Iran today, which still does not have U.S. congressional approval for war, yet it already has Canada's backing? What a world we're living in! www.canadianaffairs.news/2026/02/28/c...

Uruguay & Argentina are the first founding members of the Mercosur bloc of South American nations to ratify a long sought free-trade agreement with EU. Establishes one of the world’s largest free-trade zones - 700 million people & a 1/4 of global gross domestic product. apnews.com/article/merc...

OK. I stand corrected.

This decision to "assist" Cuba by "preparing a plan" by Carney's government has taken way to long. And how little or token will it be? Mexico has already sent meaningful humanitarian aid (800 tons of food & powered milk ) by ship 2 weeks ago. Canadians expect better. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

😂🤣 We know it.

Where's Canada's condemnation of the U.S. blockade to Cuba? Is this not an act of war under international law.....Also why not follow Mexico's lead and send emergency humanitarian aid to the Cuban people? Canadians expect better. www.msn.com/en-sg/news/o...

The damage done to the Canada/United States relationship is irreparable. We are at the point of no return. Buckle up it could be bumpy.

The Crazy is getting Crazier... Trump is now threatening to block the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, poised to become the newest border crossing btw Windsor, Ontario & Detroit, Michigan "I will not allow this bridge to open until the U.S is fully compensated for everything we have given them"

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny! I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

Argentina is in advanced talks to become a place for US 3rd country deportations - NYT reports. Argentina has had a open immigration policy, but with Miel, (Trump supporter) it recently tighten ( cracked down on entrance/immigration access. I guess that what $20B can buy. www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

Seen on the busy rambla - road by the sea. Montevideo Uruguay - What could possibly go wrong??

Trump is attempting to flay again. Today he's threatens to tariff & 'decertify' Canadian aircraft. Under what authority is not clear. One can only guess what's triggering him now. On Tuesday, Canada's PM Carney said "almost nothing was normal in the United States." Yep www.msn.com/en-ca/money/...

ICE agents tried to enter the Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis today. Yet foreign embassies & consulates are considered inviolable under Vienna Conventions. Yet no surprise U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement tried to ignore International Law.

It is abundantly clear Canada cannot trust anything the Trump administration says.

Lessons from History: Uruguay - "In 1984 a series of one day General Strikes paralysed the country and forced the ruling Junta to give up power and restore civilian rule." libcom.org/article/1984...

To learn from history you need to remember history. Montevideo, Uruguay - Spanish marker in a square beside a university campus - translated to english "special commission resolution, August 14, 2016 law 18.596 "Memorial to the student martyrs in Uruguay. Never More state sponsored Terrorism."

Canada's PM Mark Carney's speech: Davos Live - actually got a standing ovation. He's saying the quiet part aloud. 'the old order is not coming back'. ..."we are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition"....An important listen!. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE98...

If Canada wants to remain a sovereign independent country against the tyrant we must actively support Greenlandic/Denmark sovereignty & show visibility with our NATO allies. This means joining new Greenland troop exercises and withdrawing from the preplanned Greenland NORAD exercises with the U.S.

Trump's attempts at revenge games continue - As the EU, SA Mercosur free trade ceremony got underway, Trump announced 10% import taxes (tariffs) on 8 European countries goods entering the U.S over their opposition to insane American demands to control Greenland.

Where's Canada's response? - Yet again absent or at least very delayed. We should be among the first in line defending Greenland, Denmark & other countries in NATO. We easily could be next....

EU & SA Mercosur trade bloc - Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay officially signed a long sought free trade agreement. Sends a clear message the "Cone Sul" wants to keep a diverse trade & diplomacy despite Trump's saber-rattling "dominance" on the western hemisphere. apnews.com/article/merc...

How far will the world let Trump go? Trump today said 8 European nations will have an 10% tariff (import tax) on all goods sent to the U.S. for opposing US control of Greenland - until the U.S. secures a deal for “the Complete and Total purchase” of Greenland. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Apparently Canada will not be joining European forces in Greenland after all ....but supposedly Canada still stands “shoulder-to-shoulder” with the people of Denmark and Greenland - More like elbows down not up...... www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

#Canada #Greenland

Canada joins other NATO allies like Germany, Sweden, Netherlands and France in sending troops to Greenland as Trump's threats intensify. This is getting really serious......

This is how it's done!!!

Why do American news sources not call things what they are? They’re talking about invading an ally. Like that’s the word. “Invade”.

Not surprised......Taking a real stand seems hard for this "Liberal" government in Canada

Colombia"s president Petro: “For us, ICE operates the same way as the Nazi and Italian fascist brigades,” he said. “They no longer just persecute Latin Americans in the streets, which for us is an affront, but they also kill US citizens.” www.straitstimes.com/world/colomb...

Wait... Doesn't Canada actually have a minister of artificial intelligence - Evan Solomon. Clearly his "ethics" are missing in action.
