Canadians are hearing the not-too-distant sound of the constant battering the US Constitution is taking.

It's like listening to a never-ending freeway collision in heavy fog where you continually hear another speeding car smacking into the back of the pile-up every few seconds.

So, Americans should be expecting a formal proclamation of the permanent dissolution of Congress by their despot leader tRump soon.

Who needs Congress anyway?

They've only been in session for 3 wks out of the last 3 months. All their major decisions have been deferred to the White house anyway.

Canadians should be just as concerned as Americans. Remember this quote from PM P. E. Trudeau, "Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt."

I believe it's simply that tRump is a very vengeful and vindictive person getting revenge for everything from the endictments and legal prosecutions all the way back to the severe roasting he suffered during the 2011 White House Correspondence Dinner.

Or maybe the real goal isn’t just weakening the US, it’s plundering it.
Keep people divided, distracted, and afraid while the powerful strip it for parts. If the people are busy fighting each other they won't notice who is actually profiting.

It’s almost as if weakening the United States is the goal.

Young democrats need to see the film One Battle After Another and join the resistance.

This movie took the US to the point where the left went underground and militarized. It is the obvious next step in reality.

The over 2 and a half hours viewing time for the movie One Battle After Another just zipped by.

There are Oscars awaiting this movie.

Years ago I worked in Edmonton for nearly a year. I had my Ont. vehicle out there the entire time. I raced up and down the Whitemud freeway daily. The speed camera flashed every time. (No tickets as of yet.)

Ford government says it will ban speed cameras across Ontario.

Maybe you could've used a better verb than 'covered' . 'Traveled' would be more appropriate. Buzz would approve.

Don't push Fall on us yet! As of writing this, we still have over two good hours of Summer yet.

I'm still waiting for that eloquent, uplifting Charlie Kirk quote (beyond 'big government sucks') that any speaker is willing to share at Kirk's memorial.

Dave in Ontario🇨🇦 @davefromontario.bsky.social · 29d

Now the right wants to immortalize Kirk to the level of MLK Jr.

MLK Jr is remembered for so many eloquent quotes such as, "I have a dream... where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,"

I wonder what uplifting quote Kirk will be remembered for?

This meme is so misleading.

Firstly, the subtle misdirect that the term Americans refers to the USA, in reality this number represents all of N. and S. America.

Secondly, over 90% of deaths was caused by lack of immunity to European diseases such as small pox.
It was called 'The Great Dying'
