As a disgusted American, I highly admire and respect Carney & Canada, as I do Dean. Thanks for yet another update on our exceedingly corrupt, insane and pathetic excuse for “leadership”. God help us.

Glad to see Carney's response to the Bloviator. It is very sad that he has ruined a long and friendly relationship. He is lower than a rat turd.

Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, 18, turned on his camera as immigration agents arrested him—after he told them he’s a U.S. citizen.

Trump Is Teeing Up a Pardon of Epstein Accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell

Donald Trump is bypassing the Senate—and overruling judges—to keep Habba in charge.

“Going to F*** Me”: Trump Crashes Out Over Epstein Chaos

It’s not looking good for Donald Trump—and he knows it.

Donald Trump’s latest tactic of bringing up Barack Obama’s administration every time someone asks him about Jeffrey Epstein is getting downright ridiculous.

The problem with your last point, elliott, is that, as ridiculous as agent orange's threats may be, President Obama is suffering consequences. He is receiving a spike in the number of online threats. The maggots will do ANYTHING to please their master.

Aww. Are Big Daddy Carney's spankings getting a little too rough for little Diaper Don?

Psst, Donald... The safe word is "sorry". Feel free to use it whenever you're ready. We'll wait.

I love something I read this year, that Canada has two settings: Sorry, and you’ll be sorry. LOL!

Excellent newsletter. I am so proud (despite not being Canadian, just 50% Brit) of Mark Carney. A gentleman, scholar and diplomat. And nobody’s punching bag. He is going to do amazing things for Canada..

Best source for news about the Canadian political and economic response to new US policies. Well worth the subscription price.

FYI Dean, you’re missing the “too” in your penultimate sentence.

If only more of America saw it too.

The only thing smaller than Trump's penis is his brain. (Ask Stormy)

He wants instant gratification Always! (Ask the Epstein victims).

He issues threats but calls it "negotiating. (Ask Harvard).

As a humiliated 74-year-old American, I am so grateful to Carney & Canada (and Mexico, for that matter) for standing up for your democracies, refusing to bend the knee to our repulsive and vile pResident, and being everything most Americans admire. TBH, if moving to Canada were a real option for me I’d start packing. Meanwhile I’m waking up every morning feeling sick and exhausted but staying to fight (at least for now). Thank you Dean, for your posts, live feeds with your cohorts, and for keeping us informed on what normal people living in democracies run by normal leaders are doing. I am hoping that, anchored by two allies at either border of our grieving country, we stand a chance of seeing the other side of the incredible cruelty, corruption, and dystopian insanity that America has become. Keep it up, Dean, and elbows WAAAAY up, Canada! ❤️🇨🇦

Love all of this about PM Carney just castigating our First Felon. Just wondered – – since he is destroying our Constitution, maybe we can ignore requirements for presidential candidates (US born) and have Mr. Carney run for the 2028 election? At this point, I think we might elect him mid term (if THAT would be possible!). Oh, where our imaginations can go!

Wendy, thanks for your nice comments about our PM. Somehow I think there are too many red states that wouldn't be happy about this. Plus, he' got too much to do up here! There may be an alternative though depending on where you live. How about joining Canada & becoming the11th province? Actually, it has been proposed - really & is called Cascadia! This came up again (in jest) from our leader of the Green Party responding to Trump's 51st state proposal when he first took office. Here is an interesting article. All the best :-)

You have plenty of competent people in your own country. Try electing one of them.
