Of course.
And before you heave a sigh of relief that we Canadians don't live in the U.S., think.
Canada's Conservative party is the equivalent of Trump's Republicans. Canada's Liberal party is the equivalent of those Democrats who are a lot like Trump's Republicans.
And neither Conservatives nor Liberals have much of a policy policy beyond calling each other names.
And Canada really doesn't have an equivalent of the Bernie Sanders Democrats. And both the NDP and the Greens fall short of the dynamism that characterizes Bernie Sanders.

I dread our coming election.

Eighty years ago, Britain ruled the largest empire in history. Of course, while the British people (like today's Americans) were propagandized to cheer for the empire, they got nothing out of it. While the British wealthy plundered the wealth of their empire and built mansions, most of the British people lived in a filth and poverty that was famous across Europe. Millions of children never got an education because from the age of 5 and 6 they had to work a fifteen hour day.
Will things get better now with Brexit? Dream on.
And relive history as the American empire plunders its victims - widens the ranks of the poor among the American people.

If Canada's native people rise to stop this sort of destruction in Canada - which side will you be on?

This world has millions of the poor and their children sleeping in the streets. Within walking distance of Buckingham Palace, there are children living and sleeping in cardboard boxes. All over the world people are dying of the hunger and filth they have to live in. All of us suffer from financially starved schools. A rich country like the U.S. cannot give medical care to most of its people. But, oh, we can toss billions at the feet of the very wealthy who don't pay any income tax at all - and who can buy off the people who should be helping us.
And oh the West will spend trillions to fight wars for those same rich who don't pay taxes.
And this is going to destroy all of us.

Israel's wars, for the most part, have not been wars in defence of Israel. They have been wars of aggression by Israel - and all with American blessing.

A capitalist America cannot reach a peaceful relationship with China (or Russia).
Capitalism exists for its own profit, nothing else. And that means wars with Russia and China are virtually certain - and probably unwinnable for either side. It may be some comfort to know that we may all (both sides) be destroyed by nuclear war before we have time for a conventional one.
By the way, have you noticed that capitalist leaders almost always make demands rather than proposals?

I've found many articles like this one in the left-wing press that I favour. But I don't agree with them. I agree that China is wrong in it's behaviour to Hong Kong. But I don't believe the U.S. is doing any good in supplying money to Hong Kong. Indeed, the American government has no interest in helping Hong Kong democracy. On the contrary, it has destroyed democracies all over the world. And I guess we might well date that to the American massacre of at least 200,000 Guatemalans in the 1950s.
This is not money to help the people of Hong Kong. It is money to attack the government of China. And it serves the interests of the U.S., not of Hong Kong.
