- Two checkpoints go up in Washington State with border patrol checking every 4th car for US citizens driving into Canada. No news coverage. No outrage. While the regime continues to roll out a dictatorship that will block the exits.
-
View full threadThe issue of cross-border fentanyl was key to Trudeau & Trump’s security & tariffs talk in February so I would expect a focus to continue in discussions with Carney.
- Canadians have real and valid reasons for whatever they say about the US and Americans right now.
- I’m writing for vulnerable Americans who may be trapped by a fascist regime. As an expert on Project 2025, the blueprint they’re following, my scenario isn’t merely possible. It’s likely. Tariffs are theater to destabilize and distract. And I don’t say that to minimize Canada or Canadian views.
- Has been covered in Canadian media www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
- Yes. I linked to this article in my newsletter. But US media hasn’t covered it. Since the bulk of my Substack readers are American, it is important to give them this information.
- Any possibility it is part of the bi-national discussion around seeking to decrease drugs and firearms moving into Canada?
- Anything is always possible. But given other fascist actions of the US regime, my money is on free movement restrictions for Americans. This regime doesn’t give one good bowel movement about drugs and firearms moving into Canada and would be offended by the insinuation.
- Reason: we need to write an article on Mike Lee’s insane proposed bill on obscenity. We need a quote from someone at FIRE FIRE: how about @aricohn.com? Reason: Will Ari give us a quote that doesn’t refer to Lee as mucus-brained fart nozzle? [internal discussion] FIRE: We can’t commit to that, no
- Mike Lee's just going along w/ Project 2025, which has an extremely *wide* view of "pornography." It's the "Christian" Nationalist definition, & it's worse than most of us imagine. HT to @andrawatkins.bsky.social 's efforts to highlight Project 2025.
- I’ll be @lincolnsquare.media talking Christian Nationalist p0rn with Lisa Senecal at 1pm eastern this Thursday (15 May.) Substack Live.
- To follow up on yesterday’s newsletter They’re Starting to Block the Exits Americans, loads of resources for Americans who are interested in leaving the United States. Use yourself. Share with someone who’s threatened.
- I’m fasting part of today because I have a couple of doctor’s appointments tomorrow. I have to get vaccinations, including a new MMR, to live where I am. Because I’d rather be tired for a bit and live in a country that believes in medical science.
- When did you move here to Canada?!
- Not Canada.
- Some Christofascist snowflake reported a picture of the Venus di Milo for “nonsexual nudity.” When I searched Substack’s open-sourced photos for a nude statue, every hit was male. EVERY. HIT. So I intentionally searched for this artwork. And it gets flagged. Because partially naked lady body. Sigh.
