There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason.

🚨Want to know which Canadian companies are profiting off of ICE and Trump’s violent mass deportation agenda?

Well I just spent the last few days digging into exactly that.

Here are the companies I found, how much they’re making, and whether they’re getting Canadian taxpayer dollars.

Trivia time: Can you name 5 musicians or bands from Canada and their best songs.

No judgement here, everyone has a say. Music is universal, we all have different tastes in music. Maybe you will find some new music to enjoy as well. 🍁

I actually watched CPAC today. I heard Raquel Dancho and I can say: I'm impressed.

I haven't heard such cogent argument from anyone in a very long time and she's PC! She won't go far BECAUSE she's PC but we need more like that (without her support for the F35).

I feel a need to share this for one singular purpose: to point out hypocrisy.

How does the Jewish community condemn a writer for her view on the death of civilians? Doesn't that mean they need to condemn the Israeli government for THEIR murder of civilians?

Now let's see Irving pay their fair share of taxes rather than hide profits in off shore accounts.

What I love are the inept politicians corrupting our democratic process and then complaining when someone holds them accountable.
