In my coun\u00adtry, Cana\u00adda, democ\u00adra\u00adcy is not an \u201caspi\u00adra\u00adtion\u201d and it is not an \u201cexper\u00adi\u00adment. \u201d It is a real\u00adi\u00adty. I have worked at polling sta\u00adtions in two Cana\u00addi\u00adan elec\u00adtions, and I know it first-hand. I also know exact\u00adly what would hap\u00adpen if a gang of trea\u00adso\u00adnous armed ter\u00adror\u00adists forced their way into Canada\u2019s Par\u00adlia\u00adment in an attempt to over\u00adthrow that democ\u00adra\u00adcy. They would either sur\u00adren\u00adder instant\u00adly and be cart\u00aded off to jail, or THEY<\/span> WOULD<\/span> QUICKLY<\/span> BECOME<\/span> DEAD<\/span>. That is pre\u00adcise\u00adly what hap\u00adpened to a lone ter\u00adror\u00adist who attempt\u00aded that crime in 2014. Canada\u2019s Par\u00adlia\u00adment has a force of reg\u00adu\u00adlar secu\u00adri\u00adty guards, but the RCMP<\/span> are always ready to hand. RCMP<\/span> offi\u00adcers are not just police \u2014\u2013 they are trained to the stan\u00addards of any mil\u00adi\u00adtary strike force. They would not let any gang of ter\u00adror\u00adists des\u00ade\u00adcrate the seat of gov\u00adern\u00adment for more than a few sec\u00adonds, and they would not stand around tak\u00ading self\u00adies with terrorists. <\/span><\/p>\n

A mes\u00adsage to my Amer\u00adi\u00adcan friends: I real\u00adize that the major\u00adi\u00adty of Amer\u00adi\u00adcans are decent human beings, and patri\u00adots. The recent elec\u00adtion has demon\u00adstrat\u00aded that. But no sup\u00adport\u00ader of Don\u00adald Trump is either a decent human being or a patri\u00adot. Every sin\u00adgle one of them has betrayed their coun\u00adtry and declared them\u00adselves an ene\u00admy of Amer\u00adi\u00adca. They should be treat\u00aded as such by all true Amer\u00adi\u00adcans. Trump\u00adism is an un-Amer\u00adi\u00adcan, trea\u00adso\u00adnous ide\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgy incor\u00adpo\u00adrat\u00ading every evil of Fas\u00adcism, Com\u00admu\u00adnism, Nazism and Theo\u00adcrat\u00adic Sta\u00adtism. I have said this unflinch\u00ading\u00adly and con\u00adsis\u00adtent\u00adly since before Don\u00adald Trump was installed in office against the will of the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan peo\u00adple by the prim\u00adi\u00adtive and archa\u00adic elec\u00adtoral col\u00adlege. A life\u00adtime of study\u00ading the his\u00adto\u00adry of dic\u00adta\u00adtor\u00adships and obscene\u00adly evil ide\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal sys\u00adtems left me in no doubt of this at any time. It must be remem\u00adbered that EVERY<\/span> sup\u00adport\u00ader of Don\u00adald Trump is a com\u00adplic\u00adit cheer\u00adleader for the heinous crime of kid\u00adnap\u00adping and tor\u00adtur\u00ading small chil\u00addren, as well as for the trea\u00adso\u00adnous acts of Don\u00adald J. Trump and the Repub\u00adli\u00adcan Party. <\/span><\/p>\n

But, as a Cana\u00addi\u00adan, I will speak direct\u00adly to any Trump Sup\u00adport\u00ader: Trai\u00adtor to your own coun\u00adtry, you are not wel\u00adcome in mine. Cana\u00adda has always been Amer\u00adi\u00adca\u2019s friend and ally. As a sup\u00adport\u00ader of Don\u00adald Trump, who is a work\u00ading agent for the ene\u00admies of both the Unit\u00aded States and Cana\u00adda (and of every civ\u00adi\u00adlized nation), you are a men\u00adace to my<\/em> coun\u00adtry as well. You are, in fact, an ene\u00admy of human\u00adi\u00adty, an ene\u00admy of democ\u00adra\u00adcy, an ene\u00admy of all that is good and right. You have no more right to set foot in my coun\u00adtry and pol\u00adlute it\u2019s soil than any invad\u00ader from a for\u00adeign dic\u00adta\u00adtor\u00adship. You are also my per\u00adson\u00adal ene\u00admy. I will fight against your per\u00adfid\u00adi\u00adous evil until my last dying breath.<\/span><\/p>\n
