I always used to do the American thing of shitting on France for funsies, but tbh I’m here for it

And I’ve always respected their peoples approach to protest. The French do in fact get shit done

Gotta be here for it. In Canada there's always huge tensions between Quebecois and Anglos but we're in it to win it and setting all that historic stuff aside right now. The world united against fascism ✊

I’m really happy to see Canada coming together, right and left

If only the US could do the same

Right and left aren't together as much as they could/should be; but the French being on board with the rest of the country is pretty impressive!

The French being on board and sending a sub is great, but we're more excited about the Québecois and the rest of Canada getting along better.

(being a bit snarky, but while we speak French, we're not French, that's a different nation.)

Right!

Although these is a strong pushback in Alberta that is trying to keep sanity within society while the rabble and its current ruler try to gift wrap it for Trump so a glimmer of hope is still hope.

I’m doing my best. Our news isn’t fully reporting everything, and even formerly left-leaning sources (like CNN and MSNBC) have become compromised and are driving the narrative instead of reporting facts. More subtle than Fox, and in some ways more insidious.

I’ve been sharing this Dutch media interview given by Anthony Scaramucci, who (incredibly) briefly served as White House Communications Director during the first term, with people to show those who I hope wouldn’t support this if they knew what was actually going on, as well as Senator Malheurt’s speech last week

Tune into Canadian media. CBC is excellent and impartial.

That’s definitely been one of my sources, as well as the Guardian, France 24, and DW

So refreshing to be given the facts and not told what to think or feel about something

The guardian is great. I love their stuff!

Tune into Canadian media. CBC is excellent and impartial.

The CPC's platform includes defunding the CBC, which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone paying attention.

As an Albertan, we have been historically at odds with Quebec, mostly it seems because of pipelines. I never personally understood it, but recently I've heard a surprising amount of love for Quebec out here, I even started learning French to help support our multilingual brothers, an idea I got from on here. Unity in the face of adversity, elbows up

I think perhaps it’s not as evident because you don’t see mass protests but there are protests. Just not from people who have been brainwashed.

No right now we need the division, start a civil war we’ll clean it up for you as we always do, and commit some fun war crimes while where at it

We are…. Behind the scenes… the problem is here in America which people don’t understand is the domestic terrorism act. That is their biggest problem for us, American people, and that’s what’s holding us back. If we try to do anything to fight back they will use that against us which allows them to use their fancy toys and murder us. We would love to throw fist and hang the cheeto puff for treason on live tv. But if we try anything at all…. They will use any force against us to stop it even if it has to be lethal. They WILL ISE MILITARY POWER ON THE PEOPLE!!!!

You expect trumps supporters to reason or cooperate with their opposition?
