Exactly. In fact, didn't Trump once say he loved the uneducated? An informed electorate, one that's capable of critical thinking, is the one thing every dictator would fear. Makes it harder for them to manipulate the masses. Which would explain why Trump wants to close down the Department of Education.

Yeah, I think a lot of MAGA, and other Republicans, don't realize that the 'radical left' democrats, would be seen as right-wing by many other western nations' standards. And the whole thing about them being the 'leader of the free world' is sickening and hilarious at the same time.

Canada is 11th in the Cato Human Freedom Index, while the US, the 'freest nation in the world is 17th'. They have no business talking to us, or ANYONE ahead of them in that index, about being free. And most of the nations ahead of them in that freedom index, are from Europe, the 'socialist nations' as MAGA and others like to call them.

Great, thanks!

That's awesome, thanks for sharing, just downloaded the app now. But it says that donations are currently disabled on IOS due to App Store policies.

Good work. And I agree that the media is included, and it should be highlighted and made more public just how many news outlets are controlled by US companies. I honestly don't think a lot of the general public are aware of how much control the US has over many of our new outlets. Maybe people might have suspected it before, but not cared, but I think they'd care more now, given the US's recent actions, and share that with the people around them.

They're just all over the place at this point. One moment they're accusing the Canadian government of being totalitarian, then next moment they're saying it's been overtaken by cartels from Mexico. Like, ffs, make up your mind. And funny how they never like to talk about all the illegal guns they allow over their border into Canada. Guess that just screws up their narrative.

Honestly, I wasn't comfortable going to the US ever since Trump got elected the first time. This is just another reason to never visit that place again. Would rather vacation somewhere in Canada, or if there's a great travel deal, visit Europe.

Yeah, I have a Home Depot less than 5 min from me. But now I just go the extra distance to Canadian Tire for a lot of the supplies that I usually got from Home Depot. It's not as convenient, takes longer, and some of those items may cost a little more, but that doesn't matter to me anymore. I know some items will be American, and that there are no Canadian equivalents, but I'm just trying to avoid US-made products wherever I can.

I deleted all my amazon accounts a few weeks ago, and have no plans to go back. When I order things now, I'll just order through the vendor instead of Amazon, I can live with it taking longer or costing a bit more.

Sounds good. But until he does anything, it's just bluster and tough talk. It needs to happen. And it has to go on for a few days, with Americans REALIZING why Canada's taken that action. They have to realize why more and more people, more and more countries, hate them. But it's not enough for them to know that, they have to have their own lives disrupted. And realize that it's their own government's fault that all of this is happening.

Good. The US should be given the cold shoulder, or not be given the same access and information they had before. They can’t be trusted. Does anyone really think he wouldn’t share any information he’s given with his Russian handlers? Right now, they're a threat to the other four members' national security.
