Did Trump not bitch about a few European countries still importing gas from Russia? It’s all about money and power. Not about moral and truth. The USA also is discussing about reopening the once heavily criticized North Stream Pipeline. Now Europeans are heavily dependent on US fluid gas and pay way higher prices. ---

Being dependent on the USA is no better than being dependent on Russia, as Canada is learning the hard way. ---

Not the same but the reality is America our number one trading partner has turned malevolent to us. F Trump hope Dems win a big victory in the midterms. Musk wants AB and Sask and Quebec to separate. Piss ands defecate on a Tesla charger and strip him of his CDN citizenship. Hope all 3 provinces stay and like what Premier Moe and PM Carney said unfortunately Poilivrie while saying similar stuff had the weakest statement. 2:04 PM same library staffer gave sixth warning. Asian adult male told her , “Everywhere Mr Carr goes HA pays ppl to harass him.” Did not hear her respond. She made the HA yapper next to me left side turn off his computer just now he for some reason told us he has never been laid. Glasses and short black hair plain black shirt and white pants and sneakers a Asian male. He just said, " When it comes to murder sooner or later we are going to do it." 2026 Liberal govt children who have never been laid plotting murder in a public library. Same crap here two years ago. Moron child said all the ppl on Rice Mill Rd hated me asked him to name one he did not. Hopefully the municipal local and provincial govt change coming up will get the various libraries working like 7 years ago. ---

Not if this means to help a country who started a war on another one, for no other reason than refusing it to decide sovereign about it’s own future. If the US, which had a huge amount of responsibility for this development, refuses to help Ukraine but instead criticizes it for using all legal war means for the sole purpose to DEFEND itself by taking away Russias money sources, then it’s ridiculous and hypocritical, to point on Ukraine but not on Russia. Russia did start the war. Or wouldn’t you want to defend your own country if attacked, only because another one dislikes what your country does? Russia is in no moral Position for punishing Ukraine and to deny it’s right to exist. Also, Trump started this diletantly and stupidly prepared war on Iran. Did Trump criticize himself for the high energy and consumption prizes caused by his stupid action? And did you? ---

Canada is in no way dependent on Russia. I have not seen a Russian product outside a liquor store in at least 6 years. ---
