French writer, Albert Camus once said-"Be careful, when democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but not to inquire about its health."

And with a thin smile, it fluffs the pillow, smooths the sheets, and whispers, "Rest now—I’ll take it from here."

I have seen hundreds of jeep ads lately. Is that because they are trying to sell as many jeeps as possible because they have known for a while that they are closing down manufacturing in Canada? Time to boycott Jeep, along with Tesla.
