In the last seven days, the United States kidnapped a criminal foreign leader (the ends justifying the means), threatened Greenland and Venezuelan sovereignty, and ordered the Ice “Agent” into Minneapolis who then executed someone for trying to leave.
20 to 25% of Albertans support Trump to some extent.
Are you ready to get off the chaos train yet?
Donald Trump, 6 days ago:
“If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters… the United States of America will come to their rescue…. President DONALD J.TRUMP”
Do you support Iranian protesters (likeTrump) or ICE (like Trump)?
How does arming ICE agents who attack unarmed civilians fit with the 2nd amendment?
MAGAt’s have a choice.
Will you awaken from your cult driven slumber?
Enabling Trump’s lawlessness to correct whichever imaginary woke issue you have is hurting average people and benefitting Trump. That might be easy for you to forget, but for critical thinkers, you’ve etched Trump’s injustices on the permanent memories of former friends.

Your justifiable anger should be directed to the leader of the opposition. Hours after the abduction of Maduro, he (Poilievre) sent a fawning message praising the yellow haired despot.
Rather than attempting to bridge a political void , he engaged in true partisan fashion – throwing his support in true MAGA – like worship. Appealing no doubt, to the 20% of Albertan’s who also worship at the altar of Trump.
Letting Poilievre get Re – elected has the true conservatives in my world fuming. This idiot has proven time and time again that there is nothing conservative about him. He showed the Conservatives in Ottawa no respect for what the criminal convoy truckers did to them that’s how stupid he is.
Just like the criminal convoy truckers that Poilievre praised and bought donuts and coffee for this idiot doesn’t give a damn about what happens to the wellbeing of Canadians and fully supports what Trump is doing to Canadians, that’s how stupid he is, isn’t he?
You are right. In Alberta, this is what we see under Danielle Smith.

Even Danielle Smith thought that this was the United States, and she believed that she could get Artur Pawlowski pardoned, for his involvement with the Coutts border blockade, which cost us billions of dollars. UCP MLAs were even praising those involved with the Coutts border blockade, and so was Danielle Smith. These people wanted to harm the police and overthrow the government.
well noted! poilievre entirely undressed, and showed his true colours and allegiance. looks pretty obvious that a vote for poilievre is a vote for trump and fascism. and what is fascism in action other than the applications of laws when one likes ’em, obfuscate and negate laws that get in one’s way, and lie lie lie(bigger the better), just like goebbels and the nazi playbook.
so we might have the triple alliance of sorts composing of trump, starmer, and, if he was elected, poilievre (stomach churning).
Pierre was sucking up just in case Trump abducts Carney and needs a puppet to run Canada. He has to cover all his bases.
I’ve never been on the Trump train wreck and assume some of his passengers are jumping off but too many still support his dictatorship. Canadians that continue to support Trump’s dangerous actions and verbage only give him cause to keep his 51st state bs. Our politicians also supporting Trump just add fuel to the fire.
Seems the people of Venezuela and Edmonton are quite happy the U.S. removed their dictator.
Of course this idiot has to prove what a moron he is doesn’t he?
There are people who have ancestors who came to the United States, or they have ancestors who were born in the United States, and in both cases, they came to Canada. Danielle Smith wants to emulate Donald Trump, and look at the big mess he is creating. Under her, she is finishing the job of Ralph Klein, by destroying our public healthcare system in Alberta, so she can privatize it. How many people in the United States suffer, because they can’t afford healthcare? Ralph Klein closed down hospitals in Alberta, got other hospitals in Alberta demolished, badly underfunded existing hospitals in Alberta, and he laid off thousands of nurses. The UCP have made matters worse.
In Alberta, we are led by a dictator for a premier. There are people, including me, who have uncles who fought in WW2, and they would be appalled at what Danielle Smith is doing.
Dwayne W. is a bot. All over the Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, and various other MSM rags in Canada.
I had an uncle who fought in Italy and they were all terrified that the Italian soldiers would turn against them because they had been fighting for Hitler two weeks before. Can you imagine how scary that would be?
The usual from Fed Up. Anything to say about your hero Lougheed and the NWC. We are watiing for your diatribe.
Still criticizing Lougheed but too stupid to tell us who you supported instead of him that’s how stupid you are. The social credit MLAs I knew even praised Lougheed for doing what they wanted him to do and that’s why they shut down their party
They are all mouth and no brains. It shows. They can’t even acknowledge how bad these fake Conservatives are.
More and more people are talking about hauling their asses into court and suing them on behalf of their children for helping these Reform Party Idiots destroy their future with the massive debts they have created, can you blame them?
Such a great Reform Party ass kisser I bet smith is really proud of him don’t you think?
Sure, now that Trump has determined that they will control Venezuela for the time being , the citizens are now objecting to the Americans commitment to a democracy. The actual leader who should be chosen was Machado , but Trump , Rubio et al have determined “NO”. So much for democracy.
It’s all about the oil , nothing else.
Next in the cascading international events is Greenland, and now, will Trump keep his word** and send the military into Iran, the country now having killed upwards of 60 protesters? Possibly , but only if it suits the USA.
** His “word” meaning absolutely nothing ..
You missed leaving dictator #2 in charge did you. Will see how it plans out.
If you mean Rodriguez, what is your point? Sadly Machado, is now fawning toward Trump , now trying to pass on the Peace Prize. What a complete and utter shambles!
you are spot on – the usa, and especially sleepy-doe-trump, never do anything that does serve the usa interests and serve the oligarchs of the planet foremost.
The U.S removed the Dictator in Edmonton?
And where would you go, hightail it to that wonderful socialist haven of B.C. Perfect fit for you.
as you well know, the usa will simply supplant that dictator with another, the only difference being the replacement dictator will be a usa puppet.
as for the edomonton dictator, i did not hear that smith was also removed by the usa – when did that happen?
Currently the second in charge behind Maduro has been elevated to the presidency. Still doesn’t get past the point that people in Venezuela, Edmonton, and other locations are celebrating the demise of Maduro. Just on here, the socialist echo chamber does everyone think the Trump and the U.S. are dorks.
… Edmonton?
concerning to hear that trump suck up, starmer, had britain take part in the seizing of the russian flagged ship in the north sea area. history repeating: instead of chamberlain appeasing hitler, we have starmer not only appeasing, but getting right on board.
and, for a rye chuckle, we have trump mouthing that the usa needs to own greenland in order to protect it from russia and china…of course, that does not protect it from the usa. btw – is not the protection of greenland a part of nato? i guess it is now entirely de facto that nato no longer exists.

So I assume the disagreement extends to Biden as well.
