I guess the bigger question is what would happen to the Florida economy if Disney left the state completely, and expanded the Disney in California? How much will tourism change for Orlando, for example?

FYI, Selena Gomez is also a billionaire. Not sure of the others, but perhaps, they can pool resources and really make Meta pay for this.
I’m not a lawyer, but wouldn’t Abrego Garcia have the rights to sue the U.S. government for wrongful imprisonment, defamation, and maybe even human trafficking? 🤷♂️ He was moved to another country w/o his knowledge or permission under false pretenses…
FWIW, Hakeem Jeffries’ largest donor is AIPAC, a big PAC supporting Israel. Mamdani criticized Israel’s military activity in Gaza and spoke for human rights for Gazans. Should Jefferies openly support Mamdani, he will likely lose that financial support.
One has to wonder if Biden was protecting people on that list, too. Besides, it was Marrick Garland who would have gone after Trump during that time, and it was obvious he didn’t want to (for anything).
A 13 year old victim has named Trump & Epstein, specifically, in a California lawsuit just weeks before the 2016 elections. She dropped the case due to death threats.
Good. U.S. tariffs on Canada are paid by U.S. companies and consumers. Canadians have focused more on buying Canadian, then non-U.S. goods. If Canadian companies really need to import U.S. goods, it’ll be better for those companies.
More like fascism… Communism = the state is more important than its citizens. Fascism = government controls everything for its own purposes. On a side note… Socialism = people helping people, i.e., wealthy pay higher taxes so no one is left behind.
What happened to HIPAA? 🤷♂️
I might be mistaken, but when Rubio ran for the GOP nom in 2016, didn’t he consistently say that Russia was a dangerous player on the world stage? What happened to that Marco? 🤷♂️
Good luck! FWIW, here is my proposed plans A & B: Plan A: President Trump openly supports Ukraine joining NATO, ASAP. Furthermore, unless Russia withdraws by day’s end, invoke NATO Article V on Ukraine’s behalf. Plan B: EU gives the €300B in seized Russian assets to Ukraine for defense.
From U.S. news, we didn’t hear if Trump gave Alaska to Russia (or not). Any news of this kind from your end? 🤷♂️
At least he didn’t give Alaska to Russia (as far as we know). Though, when Trump left Anchorage, he did say he was “flying to the U.S.”. 🤷♂️
Матушка Россия благодарит тебя за службу, товарищ! 🇷🇺
I believe you meant “progressive”, rather than “performative”. Mamdani is much more progressive than the Dem party including Jefferies which is, I believe, what most voters want.
I’m a Canadian, so no real say in this. Perhaps, Mamdani has a friend with similar views in Jeffries’ district? 🤷♂️
Didn’t Alaska vote for Trump last year? Why are they protesting this now? 🤷♂️ Perhaps they should have done their due diligence to prevent Trump from winning instead of helping him. #electionsmatter
Canada is a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Should Putin (or Bibi) land there, Canadian officials are mandated to arrest them. Maybe the Premier of B.C. can find a reason to invite them there for something? Anything? 🤷♂️
As a Montrealer living in sunny, sweltering Spain, so I’m glad to hear people back home are getting relief.
Uhh… they don’t. “International treaties” are treaties (or “deals”) between nations or countries. Ecuador is a country. The United States is another country.
Maybe he’ll ride his horse, shirtless, again? Private plane seems more likely, though.
True… Canada is, though. Think Putin would like to visit Banff? 🤷♂️⛓️💥
Siri: Tell them to visit nearby Canada. Canada, unlike the United States, is a member of the International Criminal Court, and would be required to arrest Vladimir Putin should he visit there.
I thought that, by law, redistricting/gerrymandering is based on demographics every ten years, i.e., 2020, then 2030. Has the law changed? 🤷♂️
Ecuador, as far as I know, does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S. This is where Julian Assange (Wikileaks) stayed for a time.
I’m not sure if this is the same “Kate”, but this “Kate” was abducted as a 13 year old and sued Epstein and Trump, by name, in 2016. She stopped her suit due to death threats. Here is a video with her testimony (tough to watch)… www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnib...
So, postponed until 2027, depending on what happens with Congress, I guess? 🤷♂️
“Hopeful for a resolution”… My guess is the “resolution” will not happen until at least January 20th, 2029.
@wired.com investigators analyzed the footage and found it was actually two videos merged into one, with an approximate 3 minutes difference in between.
As an average Canadian, I’m sure that we can take care of any Scottish whisky earmarked for the U.S. 🏴🇨🇦
Great idea! They should look into this. Include the $2B that Jared and Ivanka received from Saudi Arabia from his first term, as well.
In 2016, a young woman in California brought about a lawsuit naming Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein specifically charging rape when she was 13. Here is her testimony. The video description contains many resources to court cases related to Epstein et al. youtu.be/gnib-OORRRo
If not, maybe Kitara Ravache will survive longer.
If Trump is frustrated with all this, and he has nothing to hide, why not simply allow Bondi to release the files? The “Access Hollywood” tape came out before Trump 1.0, and his supporters stayed with him then. Why wouldn’t they now if his name is all over these files? 🤷♂️
I’m Canadian, so not a voter - hypothetically, if the Dems take over Congress next year, they could compel the AG (and others) to testify under oath, right? And if the Senate flips, then how judges are appointed will change? Thx!
This is what Americans wanted, also. #electionsmattet
Thx! We got the lifetime Babbel subscription years ago. Studying Polish now. 🇵🇱 Djiękuję!
Didn’t Americans already decide they wanted Project 2025 in November last year? While Trump may have denied knowledge of it, searching his name in the pdf returned 312 matches in 920 pages. This is what ppl wanted. #electionsmatter
That security camera footage of Epstein’s prison block (with those 3 minutes missing) didn’t help their case much.
I’m confused. Trump recently said the Dems were behind the Epstein files. If that was the case, couldn’t these files have been unsealed while President Biden was in office? 🤷♂️
So? If his approval rating was 0% or 100%, nothing would change. He’ll likely be re-appointed to a third term regardless.
Peut-être ils veulent gagner une voyage gratuite au prison en El Salvador ? 🤷♂️
Any idea where we can find the original footage to see what happened during that time? Wouldn’t the prison have it? Any FOIA requests out there to find out? I’m by no means a conspiracy theorist, but why wouldn’t the FBI just show the original footage? 🤷♂️
Россия матушка благодарит вас за службу, товарищ!
He was at an AI meeting when he spoke about his late uncle, former professor at MIT (“longest tenured” - false), with degrees in “nuclear, chemical and math” (all false - degree was engineering) and that he taught the unibomber (who never went to MIT). There’s no health issue anywhere else? 🤷♂️
We live in Spain and when we take high-speed trains, we regularly see giant wind turbines dotted along the desert-like countryside. I feel bad for all those poor whales. 🐳
Or, racist, maybe? 🤷🏾♂️
Many Americans have moved to Canada, Europe, Mexico, and many other countries over the past year or so. One must wonder how many of them would welcome losing U.S. citizenship for tax reasons. 🤷♂️
I keep wondering if FOIA requests still exist?… 🤷♂️
I guess the silver lining is that there might be elections in the future, after all. I don’t know what the betting markets say, but I’m guessing there’s only a 30% chance there will be midterms next year. I had it at 26% before the Church/IRS news.
Many thanks! I’m in my mid-50’s, and this still very much applies.
Stop2End
One has to wonder what the 2014 Scottish referendum result would have been if it was taken after Brexit and not before…
I guess these banks won’t work with Americans in Europe, then. Disclosure is a major provision in GDPR.
Could be. Are you recommending Mamdani starts a popular reality TV show instead? That seems to be enough to become the U.S. President. 🤷♂️
One has to wonder if the ICC will be around when he visits (or is in transit)… 🤷♂️
Honestly? They should really be called “Belgian Fries”. They were invented in the French-speaking part of Belgium, but Americans started calling them “French Fries” based on their language; not their country.
I thought Canadian law doesn’t permit felons into the country… 🇨🇦🤷♂️
I’m guessing Gov. Waltz will appoint someone until a new election can be had.
Edmonton & Indiana!
Why are we still talking about this guy? 🤷♂️
Likely, much more expensive tickets to games making it more difficult for students to support their school teams.
Hope not. If there is an A.I. that has an LLM of only stuff like biology, data related to successful treatments (with side effects), pharmacy, etc., then the A.I. could quickly provide possible options to help the doctor determine a treatment.
You are assuming there will be midterm elections in 2026.
It’s unrealistic to expect him to get a shutout every night, but he’s been playing great lately! Hopefully, he can continue for just another few games. As a Habs fan, I’m pulling for the Oilers. 👍
Meanwhile, the G7 is considering what to do with the $300B of seized Russian assets (mostly in Europe). One wonders if they could give that to Ukraine for either military help or reparations. We shall see…
Or, undertones of turkey? 🦃
Thanks! But when I read about the evils of drinking wine, I gave up reading.
Shouldn’t the Trump administration also tariff Tesla’s, also made in China? Same for Trump caps, Trump watches, Trump shirts, Trump coins, and more? 🤷♂️
Aren’t Tesla cars also made in China? Did he add tariffs for them, too? 🤷♂️
Je pensais qu’un Américain avec un casier judiciaire n’avait pas le droit de rentrer au Canada? 🤷♂️
Not so sure about that comparison. Yankees & Real Madrid have won many championships since TO last did.
One has to wonder how many ppl voted for Israel from the U.S…
FYI, @mark-carney.bsky.social - I think she forgot to tag you. 🇨🇦🇪🇺
Hold your judgement until they vote…
Out of curiosity, assuming SCOTUS agrees, would ICE then deport Elon Musk? Melania? What if they decide to go back two generations - would ICE then deport President Trump to Germany (where his grandfather was born)? 🤷♂️
Wasn’t Farage also pushing this bus ad during Brexit, too? Has the £350M/week been added to NHS yet? 🤷♂️ www.bbc.com/news/uk-4269...
If it passes Congress & the Senate, one wonders if President Trump would sign it.
Thinking aloud… rewind one year and imagine Joe Biden referring Mattel as a country. How would the media react? 🤷♂️
She’s still in detention?????
Hopefully, these people understand the implications of separating better than Quebecers did in ‘95 (49.6% said separate). I doubt it’ll happen, too.
Hence, the “if…” in my original post. Oilers/Flames, Indigenous peoples, currency, national parks, roads & jobs, requiring trade deals, etc… All reasons that need to be considered and addressed IF Albertans wish to separate. I’m sure there are many more.
I’m from Montreal, I live in Spain, and visited Calgary & Edmonton many years ago. If Alberta separates from Canada, what happens to the Oilers & Flames? 🤷♂️ They would need “Albertan” passports and treaties would be required for travel and work purposes to Canada, the U.S. & elsewhere.
One wonders if China will sell much of their merch to a 3rd party country, who will then sell the merch to U.S. companies with lower tariffs.
One has to wonder if Melania would want him to be Pope, too.
Has he been pardoned yet? 🤷♂️
Ouais. Je suis un Québécois en Espagne… j’ai besoin de SPF10,000 ici !
3-1 Habs! Caufield, Hutson, and Newhook with goals. #GoHabsGo
🤣 J’ai un jersey de Brendan Gallagher, avec son numéro 11. J’imagine que si je le porte dans un bar, il y’aurait une bagarre.
Maybe she’s hoping to entice American companies to take them over? 🤷♂️
Technically, “deportation” has a formal process. Taking someone against their will, with no due process, to another country is called “human trafficking”.
FYI, CISA has extended that contract 11 months. Reportedly, several CVE members created a “CVE Foundation” as a backup plan, too. We shall see if a long term solution takes over.
Unlikely. SCOTUS said last year that President Trump is immune, and if AG Bondi gets convicted, Trump can easily pardon her. I could be mistaken, though…
Maybe it’s an NDP thing - Jack Layton said the same years ago, but that was for a Habs playoff game. If Flyers beat Columbus tonight, #GoHabsGo clinch.
Let’s see how the Flyers do tonight.
Habs need 1 point in the last game vs Carolina to clinch. If Columbus loses either game, Habs clinch. Stay tuned…
Teslas are mostly built in China. If Trump wants everything to be American-made, why doesn’t he tell Musk to move manufacturing to the U.S.? 🤷♂️
Rangers have since lost and are out. Detroit still in it, but last WC seat has Habs in driver’s seat.
