    Well, politics does make for strange bedfellows, but you can’t just throw the baby out with the bathwater (pardon the excessive proverbialization).

    As of now, I do believe AfD is the best alternative for Germany, because of their position on Ukraine, as well as policies that are focused on the well-being of their own people. Musk’s support should not disqualify them, in my opinion. Just as his and Trump’s support for RFK Jr. is to be lauded. And revelations such as “…USAID, using YOUR tax dollars, funded bioweapon research, including COVID-19.”

    In the video Mr P posted, I see the grandmas marching against the “right”, in front of the Reichstag – boy, that rings a bell. On a “cold day” at about 0 deg. C. Which in Canada, just having had -20C, is like a heat wave! Seems like the usual gaslighting.

    When it comes to trade, I don’t think it has dawned on the US that it is a double edged sword. This is from our (Canadian) Transport and Internal Trade Minister Anita Anand (emphasis mine):
    “If pushed, our response will be the single largest trade blow the U.S. economy has ever endured, given that Canada is America’s largest export market — larger than China, Japan, the U.K. and France combined,”
