Every Canadian Premier, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, signed a joint statement against President Trump. Except Alberta's Danielle Smith. She refused to sign.
Eliott Dumoulin is a journalist who covers Canada for the French newspaper Le Monde. In this article, he tries to explain to readers back home what’s going on.
If a foreign nation threatens to forcefully annex you and you go with it, you're quite literally the definition of a traitor.
I'd like to hear from actual Albertans what they think of this.
We might not agree on much most days, but still, I hope the country comes before whatever squabbles.
So many places to go after Danielle smith. Do we have to make her sex one of them? She is a horrible leader, a liar, traitorous, vacuous, purveyor of bullshit culture war, climate change denier, maga sycophant, incompetent shitforbrains, and worst of humanity
The word, as an insult, may be used predominantly to refer to either gender in some parts of the world, but in other parts it's usually gender-specific. Both points of view -- that it's misogynistic and that it's not -- could be argued to be valid because we live in different cultures. That said, we're a global audience here and so using this word across cultures becomes problematic.
Here in the USA, it's still a mostly gendered word based in misogyny. People in the US claiming otherwise probably just don't want to stop using the word as an insult and either don't believe or care that it perpetuates misogyny in the US when used against women.
The claim in this thread that it's matter-of-fact not misogynistic is untrue globally.
ford is a traitor, he was humping trumps leg and was ready to sell out Canada until it looked bad for him. He is still fucking up healthcare, and selling off greenspaces, and filling his pockets, as is tradition with conservatives. Fucking traitors the lot of them.
Ford was caught on hot mic saying he was happy Trump won until tariff threats started.
"Election day, was I happy this guy won? One hundred per cent I was," Ford said. "But then the guy pulled out the knife and f--king yanked it into us."
In defence of Ford, he’s done a pretty good job vocally standing up to Trump, but I don’t know anyone in their right mind that would be happy Trump won.
