- What the Ukrainians are doing is the most heroic goddamn thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
- Boss move by Macron, correcting Trump’s lies in real time. More world leaders should do the same.
- This obsession with gratitude, from the least grateful, most entitled people on the face of the earth.Lutnick: Why are we doing all this business in Canada if they’re not respectful and thankful?
00:00 - I do not see how Trump can be allowed to come to the G7 in Canada in June. Never mind that we don't generally let convicted felons enter the country: how on earth do we "welcome" on our soil someone who is committed to wiping us off the map? I'm not sure there's much point in

00:00 - Jan 28-Feb 14: Ottawa paralyzed. Police do nothing. Feb 14: Federal emergency declaration. Feb 18-20: Police move in. Blockades cleared. Feb 23: Emergency declaration lifted. In sum: Emergency declaration restores order, is lifted soon after. Outrage!
- Cancel the goddamn G7. We cannot be a party to this.
- God bless the British public.And this is how is the public reacting! London today. Same in Dublin. 💛 Thank you for standing with Ukraine!
00:00 - Embarrassing doesn't even begin to describe it. Yes, people sometimes need to let off steam. No, there's no evidence he was drunk. But come on -- he's the Prime Minister, in a public place, on the eve of the Queen's funeral. And this is how he behaves?
