Despite the snow, hardy Stratford folk turned up for my talk at the Livery Yard today and we had a great event. After all, we’re thin-blooded Canadians, aren’t we? But podcasts are weatherproof. Join me with GettingLitWithLinda December 15. No weather forecasts needed.

How can you look them in the eye you mean? Your party only cares about billionnaires
If I were a Democrat, I would be embarrassed to walk into this building every day. To walk past the men and women of the Capitol Police not getting paid. The junior staffers wondering how they are going to pay their rent. How can Democrats look any of these people in the eyes?

Dream on! That’s not how the world sees you. Not now.
One year ago, @POTUS was charged with restoring our country's greatness. Since entering office, he's brokered eight peace deals and championed our America First values globally. Because of his leadership, we're no longer a laughingstock — we're the hottest country in the world.

Not much of an apology. He said it wasn’t something he would have done. And apparently he told Doug Ford that. This is hardly grovelling IMHO
ELBOWS DOWN: Mark Carney ADMITS to reporters that he DID in fact apologize to President Trump over the Reagan ad. Well well well... Anything to say Liberals? Or do you think your leader Mark Carney is lying too?

This is an absolute lie. Trump’s America has the highest health care costs in the G7 & the most inadequate care. Check out the infant mortality rate in the US for starters
Canada spends among the most on healthcare in the developed world, yet ranks near the bottom for doctors, hospital beds, MRIs, and timely care. In Carney's Canada, you pay more, wait longer, get less. https://t.co/9GX5AA0E41

Oh please! Trump derangement syndrome is a fake term the hard right used to justify Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional behaviour.
Lara Trump: “He deserves it more than anyone alive…we know these people who establish who wins the Nobel Peace Prize hate Donald Trump. They suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

The only serious abuse of power are Trump’s attempts to be a dictator by politicizing US institutions and the Republicans going along under your cowardly leadership, John Thune. Find your spine and stick up for the US constitution.
I have grave concerns about a new report showing that the Biden-era FBI spied on Republican senators – and I fully support Senate committees getting to the bottom of this outrageous abuse of power and weaponization of the government.

Here’s the full quote by Charlotte Whitten: A woman has to be twice as good as a man to be a success in public life but luckily that isn’t hard. Unfortunately, her observation isn’t true of America. @washingtonpost @ivehaditpodcast
Sick of American pundits trashing Kamala Harris. Canadian mayor Charlotte Whitten once said that a woman had to be twice as good as a man to be a success in public life. In America, a man can be 10 times as bad as a woman and still get elected. @washingtonpost @ivehaditpodcast

Thank you for saying this. At the Order of Canada ceremony last week, all the recipients I spoke with, including me, said exactly what you’re saying. Canada isn’t perfect but it does a lot of things right.
Just another day of living in the best country in the world ❤️🇨🇦 If I get sick, I can go to the hospital for free. I can be and love whomever I want. I can send my kids to school without fear of them not coming home alive. Our PM is not a rapist felon. I love Canada 🇨🇦❤️

This is unbelievable! Donald Trump at Charlie Kirk’s memorial acknowledges support from Calgary. This has truly gone too far. Sign the #ForeverCanadian petition and commit to Alberta remaining in Canada. Alberta will not become the 51st state.
Days without Canada being embarrassed by Alberta: Zero.

As long as he’s leader, the cons will never win.
“Pierre Poilievre is the leader we need right now because he has our best interests at heart. I’ll be voting to keep him as leader”

@RyanZinke How on earth can you believe US gun laws have no impact on political violence in the US when countries with similar political discord have none or very few political assassinations? Yes, people kill, not guns but they kill less if they don’t have easy access to guns.
