An plain unadorned turkey burger, with fries and beer for dinner tonight
Americans are told Canadians are angry about economic tariffs. We are angry that we were betrayed by friends who elected a government which has the avowed intention of destroying our country and forcibly annexing our land. Resisting in Halifax/Kjipuktuk

He just murdered 11 people for no reason other than to have people stop talking about the Epstein Files. Even in the worst “collateral damage” incidents of past presidents, they always had some form of justification and intel to support their use of force. Not this felon.

The fact that the Epstein survivors had to give a press conference outside – and not in the halls of congress, shows you exactly who is guilty AF and the power they are wielding to try and silence the victims.

I’ve studied US drone strikes, I wrote a book called “Drones and Terrorism,” and this Caribbean strike is different. Lethal fire at a non-threatening target in a non-hostile environment on purpose when other means, such as capture, were easily doable, and without even attempting a legal rationale.

The guy that ordered 8 fighter jets to perform a low altitude fly-over in an effort to drown out Epstein survivors is the same guy who wants you to believe he's innocent.
