USA; Shit on me all you want, but this is the center of gravity you must deal with. You seem to have a civic courage problem.

I do in fact watch the lake...

THIS is how WW2 got solved: not seeing a lot of legal "gee let's hug it out and be nice. If you don't break government laws, you get this for USA: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hde7...

This is the Chef's Kiss. C'est la très parfaitement analogy for the entire debacle of the Trump era... And it now smells like rotting algae with that je ne sais pas quoi of hydrogen sulfide. Kids: satire is dead. Cross the "T", dot the "I", and drop the mike!🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTdC...

We need counter measures in place to divert the meddling in our elections. No time to waste. Dems—get ready!

This resonated louder than I thought it would. People are PISSED, & they should be. The energy & passion is reassuring. If I angered you, I was trying to poke critical thinking and learned a lot about the US mood. I appreciate all input. This is a horrid period for us all. Together we will endure.

To my fellow Canadians: THIS is how it's DONE! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SGt...

Feeling for you lot up in the far north. Down under we've been gathering to do politics differently. A grassroots community led movement is growing and now has 8 fabulous reps in Federal Parliament. Lifts my spirits to hear real people creating change. www.communityindependentsproject.org

100% this is the time we change it..no matter how exhausted, hopeless, disappointed, sickened, sorry, sad we use our anger to change it We must rise up, the alternative is unacceptable…and be here for each other. And vote them out. Vote them out local, state Country

We got rid of Xelon and are happy.

USA folks: when you plan how to end Trump in your community to do better, follow this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj7K...

They seem to have NO idea the peril, NO plan, and NO desire to do the work required for democracy. Children! THIS ISN'T THE TAKE-OUT AT ARBY'S SIR!!!

Am going to piss off USA people now. My apologies. What is the US resistance "Plan B" when Trump and the regime destroys the election and goes hard-core authoritarian? From Canada, we saw more Knicks fans in the streets than everyone out for No Kings, anti-Trump stuff since he was elected. PLAN B?

If ANYTHING encapsulates the experience of a USA citizen in 2026, I think this covers it: YES: I AM ridiculing USA. Yes: I I AM a "snooty Canadian". So next question: "When was the last time a Canadian WANTED to be thought of as a USA citizen?" Final question: "Why did you reach that conclusion?"

To be completely honest, from Canada, this is FUNNY SHIT!!!! You all Dem, GOP, those who couldn't be bothered to un-arse from the couch and vote? THIS IS ON YOU ALL! The World's laughing at the USA while Canada is chuckling as we finish our smoke, and go back to cleaning our weapons.

It's fun when they try to pretend to be Canadian in Canada and think their Tennessee accent sounds like Ottawa Valley drawl! ROFLMAO! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Han1...

Best thing to do at Father's Day season, is brag about your children. Here's Duncan's music: soundcloud.com/duncan-culli...

Darn. This hits hard. Happy Father's Day to all. We all strive our entire lives to be our Father's Son and to live in a way that makes them proud. FWIW, I was lucky and have two young men I have the immense privilege and joy to be father to. We all learn more from them.

Well, he lasted longer than a head of lettuce... www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WXu...

In Ont: "Surprise: the 80-factor we agreed to? It's now 85. A bit later: "Surprise! All those sick-day credits you were banking for NOT taking time off for 20 odd years? Sorry: not only will we not grant you them as the promised retirement stipend, we deducted your banked-time. And you're 0-sum."

If you're Canadian...and especially if you're a teacher, this show resonates hard. Especially Ricky, Jules, Bubbles, Kory and Trevor. www.netflix.com/watch/701436...

Ce monstre immonde n'a rien à faire dans cet uniforme, même sous forme d'IA. Les officiers iraniens – et ce sont aussi des ordures – font au moins leur maximum pour leur pays. Vance, lui, se prostitue auprès des crétins qui détruisent le sien, ssti de câlice de tabarnak!!!

From a global perspective, we've been watching this happen for decades and USA folks seemed oblivious. It's now becoming undeniable. USA should rename to the United States of Denial.

And yes, I'd be a privateer working a Letter of Marque on the Trent-Severn!

This is cool. I'd love to build a 1/28-32 HMCS KOOTENAY DDE-258 destroyer like this. auto loading 12 ga 3'70s, ASROC would be Estes rockets. 25 kt, capable of handling a large Ontario lake, with twin screws for the rooster tail. And the VDS would be my fishing gear. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFIh...

Stuff that's important: Blue Heron playing Frogger on the lawn!

We all, (especially me, LOL) have much to learn about everything. If you care about Treaty issues and relations between Canada and First Peoples, Nabert is a good teacher.

Ethnic jokes, huh?

Land of the free & home of the brave: Children on crutches fleeing the government that trashed and imprisoned their family. More fans showed up to the Knicks in ONE night than have protested crimes against humanity since Trump's inauguration. Do Americans even care? www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzeo...

Kinanāskomitin! Smith's s a lethal threat to Canada. The 'Burts Seps are just CIA astro-turfed racism. We have an duty to support FNMI against traitors. Do your part & write your MP to ensure we work WITH & honour our treaties to our FNMI allies. allies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L68W6HBAg0

"One row symbolizes the Haudenosaunee people with their law and customs, while the other row symbolizes European laws and customs. As nations move together side-by-side on the River of Life, they are to avoid overlapping or interfering with one another." -John Borrows, Indigenous legal scholar.

The Kaswentha is as foundational to Canadian constitutional jurisprudence as Magna Carta. It's a soloum obligation and our duty to respect each other, even when things are hard for the government. Carney is not respecting it. This is wrong.

Please read. What Nabert discusses is unacceptable to Canada. Canada is NOT over FNMI peoples. We are PARTNERS and we are ALL treaty people. This is wrong. This is evil. This must be stopped. Write you MP, the PMO, and ICS Minister Mandy Gull-Masty and tell them you oppose this. Then keep doing it.

Mark Carney’s vision of “building Canada strong” appears to be centred around building Canada more unjust. There are very good reasons he never talks about building Canada fair. Economic recovery is being pursued at the expense of human rights. 14/ amnesty.ca/human-rights...

Indigenous peoples weren’t consulted on bill C-5, merely presented the final version as a fait accompli. In response to treating indigenous rights as a form of onerous red tape, indigenous leaders were understandably outraged at being sidelined and then steamrolled. 13/ thewalrus.ca/a-subjugatio...

Much attention around Carney's biggest cuts to public services in decades rightly focusses on cuts to Environment & Climate Change Canada, Foreign Affairs Canada, food inspection & public health. Little discussion surrounds Carney’s cuts also disproportionately hurting indigenous communities. 15/

Section 15 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees a right to equality for all. The Canadian Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination requires substantive equality in the provision of basic services. Discrimination in the delivery of public services is contrary to Canadian law. 16/

But that discrimination is historically entrenched anyway. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has found that the provision of child welfare services and supports for First Nations children has 22% less funding per child than for other children in Canada. 17/ www.canlii.org/en/ca/chrt/d...

And the same Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has also found that Ottawa is underfunding public safety in indigenous communities. It's as shameful as it is consistent. 18/ www.canlii.org/fr/ca/tcdp/d...

Carney’s budget now delivers racially targeted cuts. Spending reductions won't apply to transfer payments to fund essential services for provinces, but they *do* cut federal funding for Indigenous Services Canada, which funds those same public services & essential programs for First Nations. 19/

Funding basic services for already under-serviced indigenous communities is cut while funding the same services for white settler Canada remains flat, intentionally making an already deplorable situation worse on the backs of the most vulnerable Canadians. 20/ policyoptions.irpp.org/2025/07/budg...

You can verify billions in cuts to the Department of Indigenous Services & billions more in cuts to the Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations & Northern Affairs in the Treasury Board’s official numbers on the federal government’s primary website. 21/ www.canada.ca/en/treasury-...

In addition to public cuts to ongoing budgets, Carney quietly fails to renew programs whose funding is term based. They don’t have to announce cuts to those ongoing programs, but can simply allow them to quietly die by merely not renewing them or denying them any future funding. 22/

Carney’s Minister of Justice made this clear with a public statement that indigenous people can’t have a veto over any major project, underlining that this regime’s idea of obtaining indigenous consent relies on a definition of consent where no doesn’t mean no. 12/ www.thestar.com/politics/fir...

Making indigenous interests a completely optional consideration in this way effectively replaces the concept of "full, prior and informed consent" with "Indigenous communities can say no to projects that endanger them, but if they say no, it won't count and projects will still go ahead anyway." 11/

The use of "may" instead of "will" in that context legally means that they may or they may not, and thus that considering those factors is entirely optional rather than required. The same section states that they "may" choose any other criteria they prefer, like which lobbyists they like best. 10/

Here's the bill's complete text. Look at how major projects are designated as being in the "national interest." The governor in council (cabinet) "may" consider things like climate commitments or the impact on indigenous community well being in making that decision. 9/ www.parl.ca/documentview...
