🇨🇦 DEAR CANADIANS OBSESSED WITH AMERICAN POLITICS: A friendly reminder. You are not an American citizen. You don’t vote in American elections. You don’t elect the American president. Yet some of you follow Washington more closely than Ottawa and know more about Trump than your own MP. Meanwhile, back home: 🏠 Housing remains unaffordable. 💸 Taxes consume a substantial share of your income. 🏥 Healthcare wait times remain a serious concern. 🛒 Groceries keep draining household budgets. 💰 Government debt continues to grow. And somehow, every Canadian problem becomes Donald Trump’s fault. Here’s a revolutionary thought. America’s president is responsible for governing America. Canada’s prime minister is responsible for governing Canada. Yes, American policies affect us. Trade, tariffs and foreign policy matter. But they cannot explain away every domestic policy failure. You can dislike Trump without making him your entire personality. You can support Trump without treating him like Canada’s prime minister. And you can disagree with both without losing your mind. Canada needs citizens who scrutinize Ottawa as passionately as they obsess over Washington. Because the politicians who actually control much of your taxes, healthcare, housing policy and public spending are right here at home. 🇨🇦 Stop treating American politics like a spectator sport while Canadian politics determines your standard of living. #Canada #cdnpoli

Nothing about your current situation is a mystery. ✅ Your body is the sum of your last 1,000 meals. ✅ Your bank account balance reflects your last 1,000 purchasing decisions. ✅ Your mindset was shaped by your last 1,000 conversations. Your choices are your receipts.

Why “Free Palestine!” and Not Also “Free Kurdistan!”? International law treats Palestinians as a population under foreign occupation. The Kurds, however, are classified as “national minorities” #kurds #kurdistan #FREEPALESTİNE #middleeast ikurd.net/free-palestine-fre…

In my latest article, I point out that Western powers exploited #Kurdish fighters to defeat #ISIS, only to abandon them and sacrifice Rojava's democratic self-governance to appease regional autocrats once the threat had subsided. #kurds #politics ikurd.net/sacrificing-kurds-…

After venting to someone, do you ever think to yourself. "I probably should have kept that to myself."?
