Tillis seems to have taken Trumps line of how much we owe the US. We have never asked the US for protection we work in together with NATO and NORAD. Please do not make us seem like we are owing to a mob boss. Geography made us Neighbours, shared values are gone.
'Cultural break': U.S. senators say relations with Canadian neighbours are suffering | CBC News

So apparently this is fine but Canadian governments using advertising to share views with Americans about trade is completely inappropriate.

Got it.

Once you allow an autocrat/dictator to deny rights of others, yours are next, do not be complicit. They will continue to erode everything until all that is left is scraps for you to fight over. This is not hyperbole, this is real, it is happening worldwide, the far-right wants power and control.

Hey Scott Moe where are you on this issue? We know you want an oil pipeline to the NW coast of BC but you haven’t said anything about #skpoli’s Nutrien shipping potash to a new port facility in US? #skpoli #cdnpoli

Ottawa is pressing Nutrien to change course on building a potash export terminal in the U.S.
The Saskatchewan-based fertilizer giant this week chose Longview, Wash., for its new export terminal worth up to $1-billion

The Murder Khashoggi Warned Us About

Jamal Khashoggi wasn’t just a journalist. He was a warning. And the world turned away.

He was investigating a chain of corruption that went straight from the halls of the Trump White House to the palace of Mohammed bin Salman.

Is there ever a line for the demented cult otherwise known as the GOP?

The completely and utterly deranged POTUS, who constantly acts like a completely unhinged maniac, has now called for killing Democrats in Congress who say the military shouldn’t follow *ILLEGAL* orders. He is a fucking lunatic.

This feels like extortion.The future of trade talks depends on Canada's decision about the US F-35s. The US controls the software, updates, upgrades, maintenance and parts. They also incorporate a kill switch. Do we trust them given their recent instability & threats?

When Trump called a female reporter “QUIET, PIGGY,” every man in that cabin who sat there in silence didn’t just miss a moment they became part of the machinery that enables this garbage.

Their silence wasn’t neutrality.
It was permission.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :
