    Buzz Lightyear for President!

    Yeah, good times. Let’s look at Julie Payette in Canada. Who picked her…really? Who turfed her…really? It sure seems like the monarchy is just a formality in that situation.

    Buzz Lightyear for President!

    Can he? What happened in 1975, could it happen again today (?) or have these countries ensured that can’t happen now? Who appoints the Governor General in the Commonwealth countries (?) upon who’s advise? Who’s really choosing the GG’s & who really can fire them?

    California & New York State…are states inside of a nation, but not nations….where as Denmark & Chile, like Canada, are nations. http://www.youtube.com/shorts/xWpriDjJDtQ

    Two years into the Trudeau 2.0 Minority Term, which day will Justin call the election that only he wants?

    Well, here we are again. Trump is shot in the US, but even though it’s just his ear (Phew!) he’s getting all the attention from Americans…& that’s not fair so… http://apple.news/AdRFs8ZzBTsufhvsSS7qliQ Following the assassination attempt against U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump earlier...

    Election 2024

    So, from the outside looking in, and before the announcement yesterday that Biden is stepping down….Trump & Biden had already agreed to have a second debate. Do they still have it? With Biden stepping down? Or does Trump debate somebody else and if so, who?
