@CanadianPM 1/16 Mr. Carney, you should be PROUD of your people, who possess good moral character and integrity. As our ally your country has come to our aid time and time again, from supporting us in Afghanistan to coming to our aid during natural disasters. Your country lost

2/16 NUMEROUS brave, courageous men and women during the Afghanistan war in support of our country. This is why it is INFURIATING that Donald Trump would have the AUDACITY to state that our allies "stood back from the front lines and let OUR soldiers do the fighting", which was a

3/16 complete load of BULLSHIT. I lived with Canadians for 6 months, and I found them to be decent, caring, brave, courageous and friendly people who would NOT have done ANY such thing. I know I speak for MILLIONS of Americans who say THANK YOU for supporting us, and as a soldier

4/16 myself grieve as well for the loss of your people from this war, a war that went on for over TWENTY YEARS, and would STILL be going on had it not been for the courageous decision by President Biden to leave. We went YEARS past the original ten year plan, and President Biden

5/16 did the RIGHT thing by ending it before MORE U.S. and allied troops died. Another OUTRAGEOUS claim is that "NATO hasn't done anything for the United States, but we have done more for NATO than any other country", and AGAIN I say, BULLSHIT. The ONLY time Article 5 of the NATO

6/16 Charter has been invoked during NATO's history, which states that an attack against one member is considered an attack against all members, is when the United States asked for help with the Afghanistan War, of which Canada and DOZENS of other countries answered the call and

7/16 sent troops and/or supplies. This principle of collective defense is a core tenet of NATO, which is why there has been NO aggression since WWII that NATO has had to come to the aid of. Donald Trump is doing his BEST to dismantle NATO, offering a HUGE gift on a silver platter

8/16 to Vladimir Putin of Russia and OTHER despots around the globe, who have been wanting to do this for DECADES. So we THANK YOU, Canada, and all other NATO countries that came to our defense during the Afghanistan War.
It just AMAZED me that Canadians are SUCH great neighbors

9/16 of ours that they are JUST as disgusted with ICE as WE are, and who are responsible for a billionaire pulling out of selling a HUGE half a million square foot warehouse to ICE that they were going to use as an ICE "detention center", which is really a damn PRISON CAMP for

10/16 millions of men, women, and of all people CHILDREN. These centers are atrocious places, where prisoners have stated they are given spoiled, moldy, or ROTTING food, are DENIED medical care, and who do NOT receive even blankets for when it is cold. Even our VERY OWN prisoners

11/16 in our prisons are not treated so horrifically, or given this disgusting shit to eat. These people detained are nothing more than ANIMALS, treated like VERMIN, and FIFTY NINE of them died in these centers last year, with 5 already who have died THIS year, one month in.

12/16 Canadian companies, BLESS their hearts, threatened this billionaire that if he sold this building to ICE, they would IMMEDITELY stop doing ANY business with the man. This caused Canadian billionaire Jim Pattison, owner of Jim Pattison Developments, to rescind the sale, a

13/16 huge half a million square foot industrial building in Ashland, Virginia, that was proposed to become an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) "processing facility". The company announced that the transaction to sell the industrial building will not proceed, stating

14/16 they were not aware of the intended use of the building when they accepted the offer to sell. The Department of Homeland Security had planned to purchase the property for ICE operations, which could have included holding and processing spaces. Pattison has owned the site

15/16 since 2022, and the decision has sparked significant backlash in both the U.S. and Canada. So AGAIN, Mr. Carney, THANK your Democracy loving people for coming to the aid of our country...AGAIN! We REALLY appreciate their help in stopping ANOTHER ICE prison camp, which hold

16/16 THOUSANDS of immigrants, to INCLUDE U.S. citizens like veterans, off duty police officers and MARSHALLS, whose ONLY crime was that they possessed brown skin, and who live in DEPLORABLE conditions. So THANK YOU Mr. Carney; we owe you and your people a huge DEBT OF GRATITUDE!
