Gordie Howe was born in 1928 in a farmhouse nine miles east of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where his father taught him to “never take any dirt off anyone.” Howe was an incredible athlete who started skating at age four and playing competitively at eight.
In 1969 I left Alberta and joined the army in Great Falls, I later joined Special Forces and volunteered for Vietnam. I never in my wildest dreams thought America would vote in a draft dodger as president. I went door to door for Tester and the Dems. I am gravely disappointed in the country I served.
Strictly speaking, Trudeau began the reversal then Carney continued it. Both of them are proving what US Democrats FORMERLY understood. When you do the right thing, it doesn't matter that you spent decades doing the wrong thing. People want politicians to solve problems, not make problems. FDR showed how to solve problems and got re-elected three times. The opposition, which included some serious left and right revolutionaries as well as Republicans, simply didn't have anything to oppose, so they melted away.
Trudeau and Carney are proving the point again. Trudeau was doing the wrong thing before this, always serving the financial and banking class. After Trump got serious, Trudeau switched from making problems to solving, which left Poilievre without anything to oppose. Carney is remarkably acting more like FDR every day. He's really MAKING change, not just talking about it.
If Poilievre was smart he'd declare victory and go home! He got the change he wanted, now he isn't needed.
I still don't think anyone understands what has happened. I surely don't. How could all the checks and balances, the safeguards, the fail-safes all have proven ineffectual? Why are we
at economic war with all the world including Canada and Mexico? Why did our very democracy prove so fragile?
I love the tenacity that Canadians have taken on the current regime. I’m rooting for them as much as I’m rooting for us. They’re boycotting us and I am proud that they are standing tall! Now if we could get the same response here, that’d be great. I’ll be in Missoula tomorrow, I’ll get to see Bernie, AOC and another Busse take stage! Keep fing going!
I’ve been cheering for Canada since you know who, started disparaging them. I was as pissed as if he had been picking on my brother. Canada was my Plan B for this time in our country. I was sorry to see Trudeau having to leave office the way he did, but I am thrilled by how Mark Carney has “handled “ the US. My mom was born in Ontario and I, likely naively, hope that fact would make it easier for me to change my zip code. I love Canada and am sorry that they have been much better neighbors to us, than we have been to them. Oh Canada! 🇨🇦
Well said! Thank you for helping us all see what we need to be doing!
