I'm still picking my chin up off the floor at the thought of your dear wife sewing 150 skating costumes...clearly she qualifies as a Marvel superhero!

The only way I, as a Canadian, can make any sense at all of Trump supporters is to see them as being afraid, which I am too, but of very different things, obviously. Not like there's no evidence of his corruption, nor his contempt for anyone not currently kissing his ring. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I'm still reeling from the fact(?) that American women voted for someone who stated, days before the election, how he would 'protect them whether they liked it or not'. WTF?

If Americans fail to curtail DT's criminal piracy and ignore the predation of his broligarchy, we fear the worst for all Americans, supporters or not. Tolerate his tariffs as economic weaponry and expect the growing shadow of the wall we're being forced to build in preparation for what's been promised as war. The world is watching, taking copious notes, trusting the US even less. Trump's admiration of Putin tells us we best study the strategic intelligence of Ukraine, and we've no time to waste. Spring may be on the way, but Canadians are aware Winter Is Coming. Luckily, we tolerate cold very well. We've embroidered '51st Never' on our thermal underwear.

Thank you, Lorian, I needed this today.

I'm down here on the 48th parallel, contemplating asking for asylum!

You and yours would be most welcome here at Spiderlodge, as long as you don't mind the dog hair everywhere and raucous Stellar Jays demanding their peanuts for breakfast at an ungodly hour. You can even have the most comfortable chair in the house, but you'll have to move the cat :)

John, I’m grateful for your thoughtful and thorough summary of all things dead or dying due to trump 2.0. As I read I thought I heard Dire Straits performing in the background. Reading this account of your wife’s energy, in the NYC days, quickly reminded me of her now as a triathlete. Resistance can take many forms. I so hope that all who can will.
