Resistance
Between America's electing its first Dictator and Canada's becoming the 51st state, resistance movements are growing on both sides of the border.
Admittedly sporadic and helter-skelter, they range from connecting with friends on either side of the 49th to ensure gloom and docility haven't muted our voices, given the pace of America's unravelling.
My place in the resistance is small, growing with every attempt the Dictator makes not only to silence his opponents but to rewrite history beginning with the January '21 insurrection.
As of this morning, my resistance was to buy groceries at the local supermarket. It was as though a new Constitution was being written with every clementine and red pepper I purchased from Mexico. As I made my way home there was not a single leaf in my grocery bags from the USA.
No doubt I will break down and buy something American, but it's not likely to be a car or red wine.
Admittedly it's not enough to get the Dictator to back off, but it might be a small break to people who need it more than I do, in Mexico and in Canada and in South Africa and Greenland and Ukraine and Palestine and Gaza, let alone the thousands of Americans being deported, and the thousands more being axed from Federal Departments like Education and Justice and Forestry and Employment...

2 周Is Canada doing all it can to respond to the valid drug and border issues? Have we-Canada- not put tariffs on American goods, some food items. Dairy? Canadians will benefit from us solving the issues Trump raises.

2 周John you should get your facts straight. You obviously don’t know about dictatorships. Maybe only comment when you are informed

2 周The best thing I liked was your exercising choice. But this elected dictator misnomer is just a face of absurdity. What was elected was a man with enough force of character to stand up to a corrupt political ecosystem: Exactly what is yearned for on both sides of the border.
