Hold yourself responsible to own your discomfort with the unfamiliar. And never relent.
Right. Voters don't cast a ballot for "minority Liberal government", they vote for an MP. So, if that MP crosses the floor, they're making a decision on behalf of their constituents which is what we elect them to do. This is the parliamentary system.

This does not end in 2029 with Trump leaving office at the end of his term, if he does leave. There are plenty of Trumpian fascists to take his place. Their focus on Europe is not just about wanting ideological clones in all European capitals: it's about purifying the 'white world'.

In light of the new US national security strategy, it's all quite clear. The regime in Washington will use military force to install puppet leaders throughout the Americas. In the meantime, they'll use economic means, attempting to weaken Canada before they invade and annex the country. #cdnpoli
