Any of you heard/know what this is about? I looked at the website and it looks like if he were a U.S. citizen he'd be MAGA...

Every once in a while you see a schmuck with a Fuck Trudeau flag. They started by protesting vaccine restrictions and have been without a cause since they were removed.

Since the "Truckers Protest" of 2022 was largely supported by donations from MAGA chodes from the US, these weasels try to get their American brethren to care about political prisoners like "Tony, Jerry, Chris and Chris"

of all the places in Skydome I had to randomly pick last October for the (disastrous) playoff game i had to sit next to one of these chodes. Innings 1-2 were a lot of joy, he/his gross gf high-fiving us for driving "all the way!" from Buffalo for the game. Innings 3-4 started to turn - every half inning it increasingly got weirder as their beers kept draining "what's it like there?" (??? yes that vague at first) me: "um....what do you mean" and more and more avoiding eye contact when possible.

Then somewhere around mid-game it got to: "things are really really bad here" then to "we're getting screwed and aren't allowed to do anything anymore" (my daughter counted - that was about 6 beers in for each of them) and then "we want to move down there where you have freedom - it's much better there isn't it" finally me: "you have it great here. i want to watch this game" - they staggered out of the stadium an inning later (probably ended up the smart ones not being there for the end...irony...)

Hey this is Geoff

Having lived and worked all over the wrold for better part of 20 years (including some time here in the US), I firmly I believe America is the greatest and free-est nation int he history of the world. There is no other country like yours. Nothing else compares. It's not perfect, but it is the best.

I've chosen to spend my own money on this. There is no MAGA funding for this, i wish. Just me :lol: I'm spending my savings on this with the goal to connect with as many god fearing, freedom loving American patriots as I can. Don't see much point in saving for the future anymore.

Many Canadians are fighting hard to save our country in Canada, but whats the point if the US goes down the same path?
Conclusion: we must do it together, so here I am

Not everyone agrees with me, that's cool. Just let me have the freedom to make my own choices and for my family.

I've met with a few groups in Colorado like
https://www.keepcofree.com
and
https://www.Patriotsservingpatriots.com

Check them out

Happy to chat with everyone and anyone (even if we don't agree - I learn something from everyone)

What all four of them deserve is a chance to see the evidence and stand before a judge. They've been imprisoned for over 520 days now with no trial. Trial is scheduled for 2024.

Meanwhile multiple convicts of SA and violent crimes are released the same day to go out and commit more crimes, yet these gentlemen cant even get bail?

Let them be judged by the law and have their day in court.

The US border with Canada opened to ALL Canadians on May 13, 2023 (that was 2 months ago)

There was a some time where Canadians couldn't leave their own their country as we were banned from all federally regulated travel (Planes, Trains, Buses and Boats) and the only country that borders Canada wouldn't accept us.

Well thank God that awful time is over!

As I recall, the reason so many people went to Ottawa to honk their horns and generally piss off the locals was because of vaccine mandates.

Those mandates ended quite a while ago. Canadians can now travel pretty much anywhere they want (no Ukraine or North Korea).

I never thought that I'd see Canadians believe that they lived in an autocracy (and largely because the government dared to consider the health of an entire nation instead of the hurt feelings of people who can't stand being told what to do).

Buddy, I wish you well, but you and all the other delusional guys with the "Fuck Trudeau" flags are a blight on this nation.

The government honoring nazis

Pressure is ramping up for House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota to resign, with all parties now publicly calling for him to "do the honourable thing" and vacate the Speaker's chair over his invitation to and the House's subsequent recognition of a man who fought for a Nazi unit during the Second World War.

He stepped down. He pretty much had to - I doubt that he's a nazi sympathizer, but he is clearly a complete and utter moron. The ex-Speaker pointed out the nazi after Zelenskyy addressed Parliament.
Following Zelenskyy’s remarks, Rota drew the room’s attention to a man in the viewing gallery that he described as “a Ukrainian Canadian war veteran … who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians” and “a Canadian hero, and we thank him for all his service,” prompting a standing ovation. It then came to light over the weekend that 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka was a Ukrainian veteran who fought in a volunteer unit under Nazi command.
It bears pointing out that as a Ukranian Jew, Zelenskyy's family would probably have had some very unpleasant dealings with that nazi's unit.

I guess it was too hard for anyone on his staff to spend 3 minutes on Google.

Or a history lesson. Probably thought all ukrainian heroes have been on our side forever.

Sure Rota is not a nazi sympathizer. Heck the veteran probably isn't either. He chose a side 80 years ago as a 17 year old for independence.

For those interested, this is how Canadian immigration works.
The temporary immigrant program was abused, especially after COVID. Trudeau is addressing it now, but far too late.

No more free money, the finance minister took it out and then resigned! She accused Trudeau of using gimmicks.

More ministers have quit. Trudeau might not last the rest of the day.

Not annex it, that would be impossible. But economically, Canada has nobody at the table to bargain. The Premiers will be negotiating for themselves. Alberta just beefed up border security by 30 million.

You hate Trump but he's got Canadians jumping.

Will the diverse groups of Canadian political parties ever come together in opposition to Trump? Stephen Harper says Trump deserves a Nobel prize.

I see that he taunted Canada again now in Davos, basically saying he would impose punitive 25% tariffs on them unless they agree to become the 51st state. Typical mob-boss behavior. He’s counting on demand for Canadian goods dissipating in the US, rather than Americans being willing to pay the markup.

Amazing that Pierre Pollievre has a 20 point lead before Trump inauguration and now it's certainly going to be a Liberal majority.

I think everybody is stunned with the politics now and can't wrap their head around things. Liberals giddy that Trump is respecting Carney, calling out Pierre. Trudeau wondering why on earth every Canadian globally hated him this much. Pierre stunned, Carney came out of nowhere for the vast majority of people and looking at a political dynasty in the making.

Ontario Conservatives ignoring federal conservatives. Liberal MP's who were retiring are back in the game and fighting tooth and nail to sell Canadian's on a reversal of a lot of policies of the last 10 years.

We are having a carbon tax election and Trump election 1000%. I don't think too many people thought this was going to be the result. Governor Trudeau's signature policy is out and Mr. Prime Minister is working with MAGA country to save Canada with his elbows up.

Image

NDP at 2 seats is unbelievable. Obviously, most of their voters are moving to the Liberals, but that’s catastrophic for them.
