I am ashamed to be a US citizen under the Trump regime. Here's hoping that Canada will annex Washington and Oregon.i will sing O, Canada at the top of my lungs.

We should always temper proud nationalism for all sorts of reasons, not just the one you mention. But since we're in a crisis moment with the U.S. right now, the subject of my piece is the Trump threats. For my views on Israel/Palestine (which, by the way, do not embrace the Left's assumption that "Zionist" should be seen as damning in itself), please have a look at "Universalism's biggest challenge."

Elbows up DOES NOT come from Mike Myers. It was first coined by Charlie Angus, MP in his reference to Geordie Howe’s way of defending on the ice rink.

Right you are, although a search suggests that Charlie himself credits others for it. Thanks for pointing this out. Now fixed in the story, with apologies to Charlie!

Charlie is our National Treasure, the King of the Resistance! He has kept us fired up and sane through this horrible time! Who knew that a fellow Northern-Ontario boy, an NDP back-bencher at that, could have emerged as one of the greatest leaders against the fascists! We are so proud of him!

In my own fb friends I have seen a split between Trump apologists and those willing to fight.

With a strong correlation between the F Trudeau crowd and the Trump apologists.

We cannot relax our thoughts or the work that needs done. Polly speaks to closely to that base, and that base will vote.

Canada will have a painful period coming. Teh country will have to do whatever is needed to reduce reliance on the US.

The hard truth is that double-digit unemployment is coming, higher taxes, and much bigger deficits.

But your deficits will support the economy and people. It won't just be tax breaks for Oligarchs

Carney is the best pick for the Future of Canadians and our Sovereignty. Prime Minister Carney has Financial Experience: In charge of Bank of Canada,Bank of England. Has Experience communicating with other NATIONS CENTRAL BANK GOVERNORS. As far as the WEF, Carney knows the in and outs of the WEF. That impress’s me. PP has nothing to give Canadians.

my parents used the unique multicultural expression "shit la merde" which i feel is expansionist language, perfect to decribe the orange fucko called tRump...

I can’t believe we would even consider allowing a convicted felon into the country. There are probably thousands of Americans with criminal records that are not as lengthy as his who are NOT allowed to enter Canada. WTF?
