I think the long term plan is to rename everything after America. Mount America, Lake American, America Ocean etc. That way Americans can pass a geography test.

6:00 Rob Ford, the dead younger brother, was a successful populist Mayor for the people of Toronto, kind of like Al Capone without the guns. Handing out Turkeys, personally fixing potholes. Answering the phone. He was an heavy alcoholic cannabis user, and admitted to smoking crack "One night, probably, when I was drunk off my ass wandering the neighbourhood backyard parties." Doug Ford is the older, more goon like tough guy brother, ready to throw down, when Rob might have tried to DE-escualate and work together for a solution. Obviously Rob was no saint, dead or not, but as the Premiere Of Ontario, his brother Doug, is a bit of a thug.

As a Canadian even conservative provinces do not agree with Trump or the Tariffs. One premier does, but she does not represent the province as a whole and we are all not happy about what she is doing.

Folks, it's about the pervasive influence of "Heated Rivalry"…a wildly successful, transformative, and super-gay hockey story… including many locker room scenes with gay and straight athletes …FROM CANADA!
Iran has the STRAIGHT of Hormuz.
This is all about battling the GAY AGENDA!

During the first Trump pandemic investors and citizens demanded the Trump sign be removed from a building or two. Not Trump buildings but he will lease out the name… Same with Panama where another wealthy investor managed to buy up enough suites (using an offshore numbered account) to take control of the building – there is footage of them chiseling his name off the front – it was former PM Justin Trudeau who gave Trump the 51st state idea, at Mar-a-lago in November 2024 nobody but an eastern elitist would think Canada would be one state.

Your country created this regime, Mr. Michael. In the 1970s your country toppled a democratically elected president and brought a hardcore tyrant that did its bidding so your country started this shit. Do you know why your country toppled a democratically elected president in Iran because he wanted to nationalize their oil as it was their right so please stop with the Iranian regime is evil and Russia is evil statements. USA's administiration (and not just this one) has done so much harm to the world. So maybe do a little introspection huh hmm.

6:47-The Canadian support of Tariffs is mainly pushed by the Alberta Separatist Movement led by an American “Contractor”, so it’s not actually the Canadians likening the Tariffs, the Alberta movement is closely aligned with the Idaho Separatists and RaHOWa, yes they are still around and ingrained in society.

My favourite Maine story is that a US Border Guard challenged me while crossing. I told him, well you let me in last week. Is there a problem this week?
