This is exactly why and how Hitler gained power by murdering Jews.

Trump is quite right. The U.S. has built the world's most expensive military so it can attack other countries to steal their resources. So it has a right to expect those countries not to defend themselves.

At the beginning of coronavirus attacks in Quebec, workers at one residence for the elderly simply walked out, leaving the elderly to die of starvation. And so they did. All of them.

Capitalism is simply a variation of the old  practice of a small and privileged group using it's power to steal most of the nation's wealth - by impoverishing everybody else. That's what kings and knights and Roman armies were all about. And, in  the  western world, it may have reached it's greatest point in history.
And we let it happen. In both Canada and the U.S. we elect governments that are servants of the super rich. In both Canada and the U.S., we fight and die to serve the super rich. That's what  two world wars and Korea and Afghanistan and Vietnam and Iraq were all about. That's what the British Empire was about, and what the American Empire is about. That's what American mass murder and very cheap labour in Latin America are  about. That's why Trump wants a war with Iran. That's why the Middle East is torn apart by conflict.

Europeans came to Canada and the U.S. because Columbus showed them the way to murder the native peoples and steal their land. Hitler, alas,  was not an unusual figure in world history. He was easily matched by generations of Roman Emperors, British kings, and American presidents.

In the last 40 years or so, the share of national wealth in the hands of the super rich in Canada and the U.S. has actually multiplied.

Capitalism is not the answer to our current crisis. It's the cause of it. Until we deal with that cause, we are headed for extinction.

Donald Trump is a very stupid man. He's also a liar. (take a look at some of his press conferences on youtube.)

She's only a young girl? Hey! She has more brains, honesty and integrity than Donald Trump and most of the U.S. congress.

The enourmous spending on weapons is the major reason why the super-rich are getting wealthier while more Americans starve. Not only does  the U.S. spend at a world-record rate for its weapons, it also spends so the very rich can sell weapons to countries all over the world. Canada, too, plays this game.
Why do Americans (and Canadians) pour all this money on their super-rich? Nobody has attacked Canada since the U.S. did after its civil war. And the U.S.?
Far from being under constant attack, the U.S. is the one that's been attacking others almost every year since the British landed at Plymouth Rock.

Don't believe most of your news media. Most of them were founded, going back about 150 years, by the super-rich of the time who used them as propaganda.
And that is still true of most of the major ones in Canada and the U.S.

For an example of the real stinkers, check out Canada's The Moncton Times and Transcript - or any newspaper associated with Conrad Black.

Yes. It's quite likely that Trump will destroy (and privatize) the U.S. postal service. It will be just like the U.S. privatization of health care. It will become much more expensive so it can produce bigger profits for it's new, capitalist owners.

Hey! If we can't trust our American friends, who can we trust?

https://www.globalresearch.ca/reflecting-on-canadas-sovereignty-americas-plan-to-annex-and-invade-canada/5341097

It's true. The U.S. has been invading us since the days of New France. The most recent invasions came just after the U.S. civil war. The most recent openly threatened invasion was 1904. And the planning in the 1920s and 30s was quite genuine.

The U.S. has happily invaded all over the Americas, dooming millions in Latin America to poverty and to short and miserable lives. Capitalism kills whenever it can.

Will the U.S. attack Canada again? You can bet on it.

The evangelicals who support Trump are people who are interested only in themselves. In their bizarre brand of Christianity, the whole point of living is to get into heaven. To them, that is what faith is all about - and it is all that faith is about. And they support Trump not just because he agrees with them but because he has come from God (perhaps is God) to destroy this evil world with only them, no others, being saved for heaven.

(What will happen to all those who wrongly have been going to heaven for thousands of years? (I don't know. Presumably they will be reassigned to hell.)

I have been to many of their services. These are people who are not playing with a full deck.
