Brace yourself, America!

Glorious Canada The trade relationship between Canada and the United States is facing a serious test as Washington continues to impose heavy tariffs on Canadian wood products. While the initial goal was to punish Canada, these taxes are largely being paid by American citizens and businesses.

On This Day in 1801: the world's first blackboard was put up by James Pillans, headmaster of the Royal High School in Edinburgh. Previously, children worldwide were still using individual slates. He also invented coloured chalk to help him draw maps.

So True!

Donald. We invented the telephone. We invented the television. We invented Time Zones. We invented penicillin. We invented the Steam engine. Your mother was born and raised in Scotland. She thought you were an idiot. Believe her. She was right.

They are all pushing Trump's propaganda. Some, more than others.

Charlie Angus/The Resistance The Atlantic accused Canadians of "treachery" because Global TV aired the documentary on Trump's crimes. Fascism doesn't just happen; it is made possible because of the complicity of the media and intellectual class. Canada isn't treacherous. We have a backbone.

Trump has learned a lot from Russian-style interference. www.cnn.com/2025/12/30/p...

The American media is bending the knee to the authoritarian White House. 60 Minutes folded. The Atlantic called Canadians "treacherous" for airing the documentary on Trump's crimes. Treacherous? No, we won't kiss the gangster ring.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CsUm1YcsJk&t=10s

3) In Canada, failure to agree on a budget risks politicians’ jobs — not workers’ pay — and the government does not shut down. It’s one of the most practical differences between parliamentary and presidential systems.

2) Key difference from the U.S. There is no government shutdown like in the U.S. Federal public servants (“rank-and-file workers”) continue to work and be paid. Essential services remain operational. The political consequences fall on elected officials, not civil servants.

Jesse Romero, a MAGA Catholic podcaster, said, "The Pope should tell us how to get to heaven," says Romero. "He has no authority over the government; he has to stay in his lane." He's also a U.S. citizen. He has a right to an opinion just like any other American. www.bbc.com/news/article...

In Canada $10/day childcare and 12-18 months paid leave allow women to return to work on their terms. In the US, average childcare cost ($1,300/mo) often exceed a mortgage payment, forcing many women to quit their jobs. Thats why Canadian women have an 85% employment rate compared to 77% in the U.S

3. After Charles 1, England (and later Britain) became a constitutional monarchy, where the monarch reigns but does not rule.

2, Charles I was defeated, tried, and executed in 1649, a revolutionary event in European history. The monarchy was restored (1660), and no English or British monarch ruled absolutely again. The Glorious Revolution (1688) and Bill of Rights (1689) established parliamentary sovereignty over the crown

1, Donald Trump. Don't be a King! Reign: 1625–1649 Charles I believed in the Divine Right of Kings, that his authority came from God and should not be subject to limitations by Parliament. From 1629 to 1640, he ruled (the “Personal Rule”), raising taxes and enforcing laws by royal authority alone.
