I noticed at least one article on the Olympics where it noted that the highest finished American athlete finished 13th without ever acknowledging the Canadian finishing in 11th.

As a Canadian watching your country unravel, I must say that your actions and words are the most disheartening. You have the most power to stop the current situation and turn your country back to good but you and the democrats keeping asking for weak, ineffectual reforms. You're letting it happen.

What an extremely odd thing to say. I have never had to specify that to my partner or friends that I took my kids somewhere and also brought them all back.

There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country β€” it’s treason.

Canadians are standing together in defence of this beautiful land. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

It might not be this year but I suspect soon American athletes will be competing in the Olympics as Independent Neutral Athletes, same as Russia.

I don’t think the trump administration understands what covert means.

I remember biking around Vancouver for a winter and every seemed to be using nuclear powered headlights that blinded you in what passed for broad daylight in Vancouver's winter.

Or 8-weeks if you take extended leave for the year and a half! Both great options.

I guess the NDP really are all for the two party system.

What's your source for your mid-aughts numbers? As a Canadian, this seems more like propaganda for the 51st state propaganda.

If only the Democrat’s could capitalize on it.

When I see a headline like this, I immediately remember that only one of them has their security clearance.

It seems a lot of blue voters have bought the line that getting clearance would somehow muzzle him and that any other talking point is liberal media trying to smear him.

Indeed, it has some minor appeal to liberals who don't truly understand guns but sets the rural and conservative areas on edge in a way that is going to be hard to bring back and create a better political dialogue.

deeply blue, western riding feel attacked and alienated. This issue alone could be a driving factor for rising right wing maple MAGA in Canada and is not the hill we need to die on. All we need is the previous laws to be properly enforced.

I am a left wing gun owner living in a deeply blue riding. Gun laws prior to Trudeau were sufficient. Any pistol or automatic rifle had severe restrictions and cannot be legally carried outside the house unless heading directly to the gun range. The new laws do little to increase safety but make...

Well I bet she doesn't have security clearance either so they can't be talking about anything too important.

I think Canadians are realizing we're at war, and Mark Carney is our wartime PM.

Thereby, when PP attacks him, he is attacking Canada.

I think that's ultimately the phenomenon we're seeing.

That would be a very Russian move.

That's a hilarious response too, as a (Canadian) government employee, I don't think any of my colleagues are going to be able to switch to high paying manufacturing jobs easily. We are in the jobs we are in because its a professional service job.

As Canadian and BC resident, our premier has removed only red state liquor from the BCLiquor stores. With the Democrats fighting this regime with *checks notes* pink and ping pong paddles, it should probably be like Ontario and all American alcohol off the shelves. Elbows up.

Canada Border Services Agency enforcement action statistics CBSA facilitates legitimate travel and trade entering Canada; we keep inadmissible goods and people from entering Canada and we remove inadmissible persons from Canada.

As a Canadian, it's quite concerning and reminds of times when Trump would disparage our leaders and insult them but then praise Putin and other dictators. And it's all coming back again but worse.
