Hello. I've made the switch from X. I was born and raised in Alberta, lived in Colorado for some time and now reside on Vancouver Island. My interests are nature, art, books and ( stressful at the moment) politics.

Yeah, Trump's seriously ill.
And so is anyone who supports him continuing to run this country.
Trump's supporters are potentially worse than he is because they're actively and knowingly exploiting a mentally unstable/deranged person to further their own personal or political agendas.

Carney Sets Out New Vision for Global Middle Powers
"The middle powers must act together because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu."

The current American government is not an administration; it’s a regime, and a fascist one at that. The Constitution is meaningless to them as they carry out their reign of terror. The Trump regime must go.

Trump is acting like an international gangster.
The Prime Minister has tried appeasing him for 12 months and has failed. It's time we finally stood up to him and united with our European allies to make him back down.

A day will come when Donald Trump no longer dominates our politics.
Even though this is obvious, it’s hard to keep in mind.
The future will belong to those who can think clearly about what happens next.

I understand exhaustion. I understand cynicism. But saying “I don’t do politics” is still a choice and it’s a choice with consequences for everyone else!
Democracy asks something of us, even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially then. Because the cost of disengagement is paid by the most vulnerable.

Mark Carney gets it. tRump has caused this great rupture. It’s been painful for most Americans to watch, but it began on day one of his second disastrous presidency.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

The entire world knows we have a president who's mentally ill. When are we as a nation going to start talking about that?
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.
