The US has entered an age in which reporters, reporting on important news stories, become targets for doing their jobs. I believe this is what happens in dictatorships. But this is what they voted for, right?

Good luck with that. So much for beiing conservative and supportive of free markets. Trump is absolutely wanting the federal government to control it all...what his supporters generally call "communism". But hey, it's what they voted for, isn't it?

One of the most frightening aspects of Trump's decision to bomb Iran is his willingness to ignore his own intelligence agencies, who say that Iran was not weaponizing their nuclear program. Reminds one of the "weapons of mass destruction" that Bush used to justify invading Iraq.

Perhaps Pierre should get a non-political job for a while, so he can learn the value of hard work and perseverence, rather than continue to draw off of the public teet. Isn't that what he has told others to do? After all, he is a "conservative". Get a job.

Certainly, democracy has a cost. And the federal election Canada just went through is one heck of a fiscal hit.

Dealing with facts has never been an issue with this administration or the people serving Trump. In fact, facts just get in the way.

Is there nothing that will wake up Americans? Meanwhile in Canada, Poilievre would do the same to the CBC in order to shield himself from scrutiny. Despicable.
