🔴 The fantasy of a 51st state is FADING fast. 😆

In fact, by the time all American companies have FINISHED suing the Trump Administration for the negative impacts of these illegal tariffs, the Administration may be broke and be begging to become a Canadian province ... 😌 🇨🇦

🔴 Conservative MP Jamil Jivani's "Restore the North" events at colleges and universities have been a complete FLOP. 😌

Young Canadians are not interested in hate and divisiveness.
They are saying "Hell No" to these toxic events!

I'm so proud... 🇨🇦 ✅

Such good news. But if canadians dont vote better provincially, it won't matter. We have elected con artist maga lite conservatives in almost every province. Most of them do not seem to be working for us, the people. I'm not sure if they work for the rich or the Americans.

Yup. And some people wonder why we, Canadians 🇨🇦, worry about that 51st state shit.

We've also have a lot of oil, minerals, hydro power, wood, water, etc., and we are readily accessible.

Elbows up.
Good luck Venezuela.

Ten masked men burst in. Two carried army rifles.

They weren't looking for militants. They were hunting the foreign volunteers trying to shield the village.
