@Martyupnorth It took Scotiabank 3 months to fix a error on my credit card. The Dept. Of Transport in Ontario debited $350.00 for whatever unknown reason. I no longer use there credit cards.

It took more than 2 days for my bank (Scotia) to reverse one of their screw ups. An automatic payment I've made every month for 12 years was somehow sent to the wrong account (even through the transfer receipt showed all the correct data). I made at least a dozen different calls, and was literally ready to give up. I was going to resend the money tomorrow, and take a loss. Miraculously, one lady named Grace, who said she'd look into it and call me back..... actually did. I wish I had a better way to recognizing her effort.

@echipiuk Unity, for me, is where the government operates in the background, unnoticed. The rest is noise to be avoided. Harmony will be the result. We are inherently good people.

I keep hearing elected officials, commentators, and self-proclaimed experts talk about the importance of “unity” in Canada. But what exactly do they mean by that? Canadians are being told we need more “unity,” yet very few people ever explain what that looks like in practice. So I am curious: What do you believe actually unites Canadians? What does Canadian unity mean to you? I would be interested to hear your answers because, before we can talk about preserving unity, we should probably have an honest conversation about what it means! And before demanding unity, perhaps our leaders and those following suit should first explain what exactly they believe Canadians are supposed to be united around. Just a suggestion!

@BarmiesNiagara @yesnicksearcy That question has been asked many times about J6 and the election. He gives the same answer everytime. They still ask it, that is the very essence of a gotcha question. Not a serious journalist.

@rics1 @yesnicksearcy It’s called a question. Which she is entitled to ask because none has ever been presented. And if you are saying she was trying to provoke him, well yeah, he fell for it. Big, smart, knows better than anyone, lost control.

I believe people who are black and female are equals. You obviously think they are inferior and should be treated like children. She was an ass , and she is crooked and stupid, and she got back as much respect as she gave. And it would have happened to Scott Pelley or any other stupid liar who behaved this was.
Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch@SpeakerWelchIL

This interview hurt my soul. The mistreatment of black women and journalists by this President is down right embarrassing and unacceptable. Kristin Welker is neither crooked or stupid. She is a history making journalist who has earned the right to be respected. The President should apologize immediately.

@warmwishing @TrendPolCa Again, not a criminal conviction. There is a difference between a civil suit and a criminal charge. Those 34 felony charges—do you really believe he would falsify business records? He has a floor of accountants working for him. Give me a break. Clearly TDS.

@rics1 @TrendPolCa Yes, Donald Trump has a criminal record. In May 2024, a New York jury found him guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with a hush-money payment scheme during the 2016 election.He was sentenced on January 10, 2025.Felony conviction. On his record

@yesnicksearcy So you, like trump, without any real reason have labelled this woman “liar”, “corrupt”, “crooked”, “an ass”, “stupid”. None of which are true or even feasible. And only because she said “but where is your evidence”. This partisan nonsense is plain pathetic.

Enough is enough. At what point do we stop pretending this is normal? At what point do we stop allowing @realDonaldTrump to insult women, berate women, threaten women, degrade women, and then hide behind power like he is untouchable? He has been doing this his entire life. In business. In politics. In the courts. In the Epstein circle. And now, as president of the United States, he uses the most powerful platform in the world to attack women who speak out, women who stand up, women who dare to tell the truth. Look at what he is doing to E. Jean Carroll. A jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her — and instead of accountability, he keeps attacking. He keeps trying to intimidate. He keeps using power as a weapon. And that is exactly the point. This is not just about insults. This is about control. He takes away women’s rights. He attacks women’s credibility. He covers up the Epstein files. He protects the powerful men while attacking the women who survived them. He wants women silent. He wants survivors scared. He wants the country numb. I’m asking a simple question: When is enough finally enough? When do we stand together and say no more? No more letting the media normalize it. No more letting politicians excuse it. No more letting powerful men abuse women and then call themselves victims. No more silence. I am calling on this community — women, men, survivors, parents, citizens, everyone with a conscience — to stand together as one voice. Protect women. Believe survivors. Demand the Epstein files. Hold Trump accountable. And stop supporting any media outlet, politician, or platform that continues to sanitize, excuse, or cover for this madness. Because this is not politics anymore. This is about basic decency. This is about right and wrong. This is about whether we are still willing to stand up for the women of this country against a man who has spent his life degrading them. Enough is enough. It is time to stand up. It is time to speak out. It is time to fight back together.

Geraldo Rivera@GeraldoRivera·
She Is Still from Alabama President Trump has a real issue with female reporters who ask tough questions. When he goes off on one there is an ugly edge to his voice. I have been raised to treat women with a certain deference, even reporters. I don't mean that they should be pampered or judged by a lesser standard, I mean this guy seems like an abusive spouse. It happens regularly. Just a couple of days ago in Wisconsin where Kristen Welker the fine moderator of NBC's Meet the Press mentioned that there is no evidence that the election of 2020 was rigged, Trump went off on her as if she was singularly responsible for him losing to Joe Biden. With the menace of an aging gangster, he leaned into her as if he was going to pummel her right there on live television, accusing the long-established forum for newsmakers of being “crooked” and Welker herself, “stupid.” Stupid? Who calls a woman or anybody stupid to their face on international television for asking a question that he's been asked 1000’s times before? He dramatically tore off his microphone, got up, ending the interview abruptly despite Welker’s entreaties to give her a break since she went all the way to Wisconsin to get a couple of minutes of his time. Women who survive the rough and tumble world of political journalism must have thick skins. But in more than half a century of reporting I have never seen anyone as rude and distasteful as President Trump, who routinely insults the looks, ethics and competence of female reporters who cover the White House. He calls them “garbage.” Sometimes, he doesn't even wait for the question before exploding and insulting the woman with the temerity to look him in the eye and ask something remotely edgy. Why doesn’t the White House press corps stick up for the targets of his sexist diatribes? On board Air Force One a year ago Trump insulted Bloomberg White House correspondent Catherine Lucey, trying to ask a totally appropriate question about Jeffrey Epstein during the period that story was leading the news. He answered her first question then snapped “Quiet Piggy.” Piggy?! Calling HR! However raw and inappropriate his exchanges with women reporters generally, none have been as insulting and offensive as President Trump's attacks on CNN’s former Chief White House Correspondent now anchor of her own weeknight show “The Source with Kaitlin Collins.” The history of their interactions stretches back to Trump’s first term but let us start with this week's $1.8 billion slush fund. Trump was in the middle answering another reporter’s question when he turned to Collins and out of nowhere said, “I never see a smile on her face. I see her standing there with hatred in her eyes, like she has hatred because we have borders, because we have a strong military, because we cut our taxes, because we do things that everybody wanted and then we win our election in a massive landslide.” When Collins suggested that the slush fund could be used to pay off January 6th rioters who went to jail for attacking cops, Trump, his voice dripping with venom looking straight at her says “…you should be ashamed of yourself. You used to be a conservative. She was a conservative from Alabama,” he tells the crowd. “Can you believe it?” Unflustered Collins, unsmiling responds, “I'm still from Alabama.” ]

After much reflection, I’m issuing a correction: These ex-Conservative staffers that go on TV, and attack Pierre They are not Fake Conservatives. I take that back They are much worse than that THEY ARE POISONOUS TRAITORS “Poilievre is applying to be A-hole in chief” I said it many times before: these ex-Conservative staffers do more harm, than anyone else, to the Conservative Party. Scumbags.

Social media is trending the demise of a once-trusted network media. Disrespecting POTUS will not go well for the mass media. All eyes now focus on what can only be explained as a misstep by @kwelkernbc. No other POTUS has had the courage to fight, fight, fight like DJT.

The biggest story in America is a president who has completely lost touch with reality. Who thinks the FBI let all the January 6 rioters into the Capitol, that he really won the 2020 election, that the Iran War is going well. Who, when occasionally confronted w reality, panics.

WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her." "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.

@Rep_Stansbury This question on election integrity is nothing new. The problem is POTUS calls it out as an assault on our democracies. 81 million votes for Joe Biden. Really! Kier Starmer, Really. Mark Carney, Really. To many shisters holding political office. I want political integrity.

That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President. Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that.
