🇨🇦 I’m a Canadian atheist, but was born Jewish. Which means that for antisemites I’m a Jew. I hate how Netanyahu has responded to the grievous Hamas attacks. Many Jews do, including many in Israel. But I believe that both Isreal and Palestine have a right to exist. I’ve been hoping for my adult life…

🇨🇦 Retired Canadian teacher. Atheist (born Jewish) with Catholic wife of 40 years. Love learning, kibitzing and cordial arguments. Earth is fragile. Handle with care. Our grandchildren might need it! 🌎 🚫DM’s.
🇨🇦 I can’t figure out if Aaron likes this guy or not. As a Canadian I’m in favor of universal healthcare, better public services, etc. However, I can’t get past him wanting to push Isreal into the sea. He won’t say Isreal has a right to exist. Can’t both Israel AND Palestine have a right to exist?
El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
🇨🇦 America. Always behind on true freedom. Weed has been legal nationally in Canada since 2018. Same sex marriage since 2005. Abortion since 1969. “Land of the Free” my ass! Free to shoot each other. Only country with more protections for guns than people.
James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."
🇨🇦 Absolutely brilliant! It’s tragic that this has become true in your country. Being anti-fascist also used to be a good thing.
🇨🇦 Any should have ended it: - Cheating on all 3 wives. - Vast corruption. - “Grab em’ by the pussy.” - ICE murders. - Routine vulgarity. - Destruction of the WH. - Weaponizing DOJ. - Lying about election fraud. - Paid over $5 million for sexual assault on Carroll. Rape! - Vagina neck. - etc.
🇨🇦 My wife and I have pretty much given up on caring what happens in America anymore. It’s become a human rights nightmare that’s damaging the global economy (especially Canada). Given up on the ideals of spreading democracy and freedom. Used to lead the world in fighting famine, poverty and disease.
🇨🇦 Serious question. Is there any reason that Trump monstrosities like the proposed Triumphal Arch can’t be torn down by future administrations? Just like many statues and such were symbolically destroyed after WW11, fall of the Soviet Union, etc.
TRUTH
Big Oil has succeeded in spreading propaganda. Federal revenue from oil is 0.6% of total revenue. Oil & Gas is only 7.2% of Canada's GDP. Oil is important to Alberta, not to Canada as a whole. But Big Oil has convinced Canadians we can't live without them. 🤷 #cdnpoli #abpoli #yyc
🇨🇦 Not trying to be a troll. But are there really people who hadn’t figured that out yet?
🇨🇦 I’m really confused. Judge Pirro said she had plenty of evidence to convict the Olympian charged in the reflecting pool BS. Forget for a second that she had to reverse course. Isn’t a judge supposed to be impartial? Why aren’t Americans losing their minds about THAT?! What am I missing? 🤔🤷♂️
🇨🇦 Ever since we found out about his insane healthcare policies, we’ve referred to him as Stupid Kennedy. There’s a lot of Kennedy’s and even another RFK. Got tired of saying RFK Jr. is SUCH an asshole. It’s simple, easier and appropriate. 🤷♂️ (Batshit Crazy Kennedy was too long.)
RFK: "You were part of the problem." Bash: "No, I wasn't part of the problem." RFK: "It was absolute press malpractice." Bash: "Do you want to sit here and attack me or do you want to have a conversation about public health?"
In case anyone is wondering why a woman might offer to cook dinner for her abuser… it might be to keep herself and her child alive.
Rep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."
🇨🇦 Consider the lengths they went to just to prevent Trump from looking bad. His lying is routine. But he literally created a conspiracy theory. Complete with arrests and fencing to “protect the pool”. HUNDREDS of people involved in this BS. Over the renovation of a REFLECTING POOL! 🤦♂️
FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"
🇨🇦 CHERYL IN NOVA SCOTIA posted that the average completed data centre employs only around 50 people. I was skeptical so I Googled it. Between 10-100 people according to Google. I’m stunned. How did I believe their BS for so long?! An embarrassed Canuck. 🤦♂️
Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
🇨🇦 So it wasn’t vandalism? *southern belle* Well, I do declare 😱! I am shocked. SHOCKED I tell you!
FLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"
🇨🇦 “Oh, no! I can’t work for Trump again?!” That’s a benefit, not a punishment. That said, another example of the vindictive, draconian nature of American politics. So much hate in that horrible place. Greatest country in the world? 🤔🤦♂️
Performative bullshit. Fauci is a hero. Besides, they’re trying to ban an 85-year-old retiree from a job he already left.
🇨🇦 Your country is deporting hundreds of thousands of Haitians. It’s so dangerous, there’s a US travel ban in place for Haiti. You don’t get to judge human rights abuses in other countries anymore. This is the most egregious of the many human rights abuse happening in AMERICA. You’ve become barbaric.
🇨🇦 It’s not surprising, but still makes me crazy, to hear Trump accusing others of corruption. FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF. THEN KEEP FUCKING OFF. SERIOUSLY. FUCK. OFF. 🤬🤦♂️🤨🤯
Q: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.
🇨🇦 What a disgusting place your country has become. They have a travel ban on Haiti. But think it’s safe enough for immigrants. Every day it’s some new horror down there. 🤬
Families brace for separation as Haitians set to lose protected status next week Many have had children in the U.S., and now face an agonizing choice: if deported, should they take their U.S. citizen children to a still-dangerous Haiti? www.npr.org/2026/07/23/n...
🇨🇦 Something funny for a change. 🙂 I’m a retired elementary teacher. A Grade 5 student of mine handed in a story. What she meant to say was, “Then voila! It was gone.” She wrote, “Then WALLA! It was gone.” I gave her kudos for her use of French in her story. But to this day, I’ll say “WALLA!” to my…
For anyone who needs encouragement this is precisely how to fight fascism! #SheShed #ImpeachIndictRemove
🇨🇦 Dear Americans, If you’re still unsure of just how much anger your president is causing on the world stage, PLEASE read the attached article from the NYT. If there’s a firewall (not sure), the main point is that all won’t be forgiven after Trump’s out of office (if he leaves). Not by a LONG shot!

🇨🇦 It’s incredibly telling that even his own Party won’t do it. Nobody wants to be the government that destroys democracy in America. Even if it means pissing off Trump!
Instead of addressing the affordability crisis, Trump is ordering GOP Senators not to leave town until they "TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER" to pass his voter suppression bill. He knows the GOP is doomed in November, and the only way to combat that is to make it harder to vote.
🇨🇦 Absolutely on point. But I’m not sure there’s anything we can do about it. It seems many Americans simply don’t want to know. They also believe, in spite of this, that they have the world’s best education system. Mamdani terrifies the right. Which is both awesome and hilarious! 😉
🇨🇦 I find many Americans on line think you can’t own the means of production, land, etc. in a Social Democracy. Actually got in an argument with an American who didn’t believe I owned my house and land because I live in Canada. Of course you’d be terrified of SD if that’s your belief system. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
