We need to go to some of the stations to protest! Let them know we think they are complicit.

No, it's their job to keep their jobs by catering to their sponsors and not having their licenses yanked by the Dump's FCC.

I think if they want a free press they need to stand up, speak out and help fight for the first amendment. We The People are having to take it on the chin. They need some battle scars too!

All 3 local Detroit news stations did cover it for once. One of them (WXYZ/7), sadly, chose to include an interview with a Michigan republican Congressman (who was not there) where he nastily with his best Tony Soprano bravado stated that "the libs" in Michigan and Canada are "just mad that the UAW leaders are supporting 'that one's' tarriffs on Canada. Ruined the entire coverage.

Congress is not acting/not following the Constitution - it will take 10's of thousands on the street frequently to push them to do their jobs against this dictator wanaabee. Grocery and chip/tech supplies have been good but Musk/insurrectionist policy will become real soon.

I wish I had kept in touch with my distant relatives who lived in Calgary, Alberta and my grandmothers’ family from Prince Edward Island. Would love to know how the current generation feels about the crazy loon that Americans voted into the White House. And send my love and respect to our neighbors in the north.

Not all Americans voted for Trump, just the ones who thought he would bring prices down. Aka, the gullible ones.

Believe me Republican Politicians are getting an ear-full of anger from their constituents. The anger is so fierce, these Republicans have shut down their town halls. They can’t take all of that anger nor can they answer the question on why are they allowing Trump and Musk to destroy everything.

Yup. And even if you email or send letters to protest the attack on SSA, and other benefits and agencies (if you happen to live in a repub district like I do), there is zero response back. Months before the election and around the time of the Biden IRA, PACT Act legislation I emailed my repug representative and received the usual blah blah blah repug response, which was useless. At least I recently received emails back from my California senators, Padilla and Schiff, voicing my concerns regarding the dismantling of our government agencies which gave me a little hope.

It doesn't matter if they answer your letters. Drown them in letters. Give them enough letters to fill their office and another room.

Then their answer should be, "I cannot answer that question." That would

be going ON RECORD with an answer - the going ON RECORD is what they cannot do AND get re-elected, which reveals their fundamental cowardly nature.

the tRumputinist cult hates any fact and truth. it's why they're the most dangerous cult in the developed world. The developed world must NOT tolerate the dangerous cults because one can NOT be tolerant to/of the intolerants!!

I'm from Alberta (also, originally Calgary). Trump has created a wonderful display of patriotism up hear, one that we don't see all that often. Alberta is a red province and there are some folks who support him and they think that being the 51st state wouldn't be that bad. The rest of us are worried about your loss of democracy. Let's all hope that there is enough resistance from masses of your citizens to overcome their evil agenda. We are rooting for you all.

I heard they call them Maple Magas.

This shit is happening all over the world. So many countries are split right down the middle. Racism and misogyny does bring people together, sadly. Maybe King Shitpants will bring this country together after all. My Maga father lost it when he realized he was working for Putin. He saw it with his own eyes. He registered as an Independent last week. Wow! Shitpants did what I couldn't.

And damn, we love Canada. ❤️ I'm from Minnesota. I almost sound Canadian. Take my state. Please!

Suzette's avatar

He is certainly is bringing us together, against him, his racism and misogyny. Most Canadians have a live and let live attitude and we see Trump for what he is. He is a fraud, a failed business man and a felon, a con man, a cad and a cheat. It is too bad that some smart law man hadn't nailed his sorry ass to the wall years ago and saved you all the fecking grief.

Some of our history professors who focus on tyranny are leaving the US to go teach in Canada. What a horror if they do that and our emperor with no heart or brain "annexes" Canada.

History is repeating in the most dreadful ways almost 100 years post Hitler. I love the protestors and all their creative signs!!! We'll keep it up and we love Canada. Apologies for our boy in diapers.

Lots of Canadians understand and feel bad for what's happening in the states. I read lots of good comments of caring from them on Instagram and tictok. Lots of Americans are apologizing back to for how trump is treating them and other countries. They know that Lots of Americans didn't vote for him . They are shocked how fast everything is being destroyed in just a few short weeks.

Same with Europe. They know the difference between the government, the bots and the people. Even those who voted against their own interests, as angry as people are at them, we know they are to some extent also victims.

Hungary erupts with 50,000 protesters demanding Orbán’s resignation over his pro-Russian stance, as global leaders push for a ceasefire in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s cutting-edge drones are reshaping the battlefield, adding a new layer of tension to the geopolitical crisis. Cmon Pro dems SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE !! DO YOUR BIT FOR dEMOCRACY now

Thousands of Russians are fleeing Crimea because of those drone attacks, especially families of top brass military, yet I see no reports on this from the compromised corporate media. You can find it on Ukrainian news sources on YouTube. Putin's in big trouble and our diaper boy is trying to hide it.

Hi, I was wondering about that. I understand that Canada has their right wingers too. I was just barely 15 or so in the 60’s when my family visited Canada so in the years following my mom lost contact with the few relatives left and I never pursued it either.

The Democratic parts of USA should have always, always kept the tight ties with the Democratic and/or Liberal parts of Canada (which are, thankfully, the majority) 'cause it makes perfect sense. The perfect sense is that the good Democratic and Liberal people are connected with their such closest neighbors!!

Yes I have left VMs on my repug representative call line. That’s why I am so sarcastic about the republican representative responses, it’s all double talk about what the “goals “ are to “blah blah blah “ fix the economy and blame “ the previous administration for a failed economy “. Nothing but the usual republican myths and lies.

I'd only suggest The Meidas Touch Network tries to find a common language with Lights On of Jessica Denson and American Opposition .org (americanopposition.org) because all the NONtRumputinist and better yet ANTItRumputinist Americans need to cooperate with Congressman Al Green (D-TX), Timothy Snyder, Cliff Cash and all TRULY OPPOSITIONARY to this regime but PRO-AMERICAN, PRO-DEMOCRACY, PRO-NATO, PRO-AMERICAN ALLIES forces in order to genuinely delegitimize and disempower the illegitimate tRumputin-eVIlonmusk-jdvance-mikejohnson reign of terror!!

The entire Democratic Party of USA should have stood in solidarity with Congressman Al Green (D-TX)!!

As to the GREAT, WONDERFUL comedian Matt Friend - he is doing exactly what should be done - ridiculing the tRumputin&his terrorists!! It’s one of the most effective ways of fighting them!!

PLEASE, ALL NONTRUMPUTINIST AND ANTITRUMPUTINIST AMERICANS JOIN IN ONE SACRED GOAL FOR OUR MERE LIVES AND EXISTENCE AND DEMOCRACY - REMOVE THE ILLEGAL, ILLEGITIMATE, QUISLING TRUMPUTIN-EVILONMUSK-JDVANCE-MIKEJOHNSON REIGN OF TERROR!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUyTYJ5AW28

BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE SINGLE DIFFERENCE NOW IN USA I.E. WHETHER YOU’RE TRUMPUTINIST (GOD FORBID!!) OR NONTRUMPUTINIST-BETTER-YET-ANTITRUMPUTINIST!! THAT IS THE ONLY SINGLE DIFFERENTIATION THAT EXISTS IN USA THESE DAYS!! THEREFORE, ALL, I REPEAT, ALL NONTRUMPUTINIST-BETTER-YET-ANTITRUMPUTINIST AMERICANS MUST, SIMPLY, MUST JOIN ALL THE FORCES AGAINST TRUMPUTIN-EVILONMUSK-JDVANCE-MIKEJOHNSON REIGN OF TERROR AND RETURN AMERICA TO ITS OWN DEMOCRATIC SELF!!
