We can't control the wind, but we can adjust the sails. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to fate. On occasion I'm a putz. No DMs

Trump and Netanyahu are draining their arsenal of million dollar missiles. Meanwhile Iran produces drones for 30k. They are not done by a long shot.
As this goes on, Ukraine continues to be screwed over. Canada and the European allies must disengage from Israel's permanent war and support Ukraine.

America needs a very bloody nose and a major consequence. Canada is still tied to them with NORAD but perhaps it’s time to cut them loose. War crimes and complete disregard for international law needs a commiserate response. Preferably before they slow walk us into WW3

Technically he didn’t write it. He signed it and an addendum to Reagan killing fairness doctrine and bush 1 adjusting embedded military journalism. Decades of effort to undermine and subvert democratic voices come to fruition. Slower than communism but same effect.

Hoping for a lucky break and that right leaning media takes out the PM like his predecessor most likely. Doubt they could though, he is way more crafty and less open on the back room dealings. That being said I much prefer Carney to any conservative.

A measured response that sidesteps the issue. American bully tactics and illegal actions should have a consequence. The Iranian people deserve self determination even if their govt is a despotic terror spawning machine. The Americans lately are no better. One would hope a return to diplomacy happens

Can’t wait for conservative take on it. Should be even worse.

Keep in mind the revolution started due to an American supported dictatorship in Iran. Everywhere America goes it sows conflict. Then it uses said conflict as an excuse.

It’s beyond that. An international crime against humanity committed with the support of a war criminal. Same for Venezuela. Any other country would be sanctioned to death

That’s where we disagree. I hope the US fails miserably and loses a few ships. For Iran I hope they get their own determination without more US interference as any sovereign nation should. Constitutional congress and a complete gutting and revamping of American rules is long overdue. Lead that

As always in war the Iranian people pay the price. What a disgusting war crime from 2 corrupt criminals trying to avoid jail. I hope Iran sinks both carriers, I would mourn for the service members families but to obey an unlawful order there is a cost sooner or later.

Amazing what not being a giant douche canoe can do for you. Half of politicians should take note. Maybe even a bit more than half.

Stephen Harper’s Record Did Not Disappear. We Just Stopped Talking About It. Stephen Harper’s recent reappearance in public discourse has been met, in some quarters, with selective memory and quiet revisionism.

American workers just took home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 β€” even as corporate profits soar.

Why? This chart has the answer.
