Edmonton Public Schools has decided that Margaret Atwood is too dangerous for youth to read. As is Brave New World. 1984 is banned by Grade 9s and younger. This is the MAGA machine of Danielle Smith in action. Perhaps a public book burning will reassure the base. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

He has talked about a big faucet a few times. From what I can tell he thinks Canada is hiding a giant building sized faucet up in the mountains. Supposedly we are stealing American water that was supposed to flow down to California and instead dumping it in the pacific? Very stable genius stuff.

Trump trying to make the trade deal contingent on opposing Palestinian statehood is a pretty strong admission that all this tariff bullshit was never about money or U.S. trade deficits, and always about economic blackmail in service of an international fascist agenda.
