.@justintrudeau drops umbrella (& the mic): “As we sit here in the rain, thinking how uncomfortable we must be these minutes as our suits get wet, and our hair gets wet...it’s all the more fitting that we remember on that day in Dieppe the rain wasn’t rain, it was bullets.”

Why bring up hair? I am sure our fabulous soldiers of all
nationalities kept their hair dry. That is paramount.

I would stand in a pouring rain to offer my thanks for
these dear soldiers. Let my hair get wet.

Those dear soldiers, where did they go, they fought and died
for us and we get bone spurs!

And old bone spurs better concentrate on grass, his ass is.

Pretty remarkable when you think that Canada's population at that time was just 8 million. There were also hundreds of Americans who chose to fight with them, before the US officially joined the fight in 1917.

Likewise, there were many Americans who joined the Canadian forces in 1939 before the US officially declared war in 1941.

I think of this often when tRump starts talking about nationalism and his desire to keep the US "isolated".

The balloon should show him as a baby chicken, because that's what he is inside. He's just a quivering gelatinous mass of fear & anger and insecurities, that's why he acts like such a bully, covering up his indadequacies.
