I'm glad to hear this. Your publication will be a welcome addition here in 🇨🇦 and Trump and his cronies bash us with their juvenile late-night ramblings on social media.

Incidentally, the more they bash Trudeau, the more people will be inclined to vote for him in the federal elections next year because Canadians as a whole are still shaking their heads over the fact a convicted felon is becoming president.

Not just a convicted felon, but found liable for sexual assault, and credibly accused of inciting an insurrection. Two pinnacles of American democracy, the constitution and the peaceful transfer of power, and he “@&$ on both of them. Just horrifying.

I’m just writing a post for my substack publication, The Montreal Dispatch, and am recommending this one to my readers.

Let's not forget his making a move on his own ten-year-old daughter or stealing from his own children's charity.

So am I. It's so embarrassing.

Yes, Cathy, it IS embarrassing and for us here in the USA, it's even worse than that! It is terrifying. Our very way of life is on the line. (Gulp...)

It's terrifying and possibly deadly for a lot of us. Normally, I would think oh the Courts aren't going to allow Trump to deport people he doesn't like, jail political opponents, end birthright, end Social Security and Medicare. The courts will save us. But now? I have little faith in our courts and zero in the Supreme Court. We must continue to boycott the MSM. I know some disagree bc there are good journalists at some of these institutions. However, I believe it's one strong tool to get the MSM to report the actual facts and stop sane washing Trump. All they care about is the bottom dollar. Maybe the good journalists can find other ways to get their reporting out. MeidasTouch did. JMO

Absolutely agree that we must continue to stop our views of the corporate media outlets. For sure.

Jillian, he will NEVER break the bonds between Canadians and Americans. We are one, even though we are not"one" in the US at this time. My house is your house.

Agree. You nailed it.

Trump has big ugly plans (his version of "concepts") to match his big ugly persona. Somehow I do not believe he's healthy enough to stand up to the rigors of the job. I believe he has double agents well placed within his chaotic sewer of would-be appointees.

He's stupidly surrounded himself with vipers. Sooner or later one or more dirtbags is going to be enticed to provide leak$ for a price and a guarantee of anonymity. He'll be sold out by someone(s) close to him. They're all corrupt. The road to his ruin is paved with "30 pieces of silver." 💲 Cha Ching. 😏

O Canada! Let’s go!!! Really great reporting by MeidasTouch and can’t wait for more international news from this team.

Everything they say is the absolute truth. There’s no more mainstream media. These guys are the real deal and it’s nothing but truth and facts.

We definitely need your reporting on Canada. The Conservatives are very Trump friendly, using his tactics here and 2025 is election year. So thankful you're doing this.

Meidas will protect Canada's vibrant Democracy from Trump. Trudeau is the best leader in Canadian history, young and progressive just like Obama. If things get too fascist in America, we can always move to Canada.

Yeah it's not as easy to emigrate to Canada as all that. If it were, I'd have done it a long time ago, even before things got this messy here.

The thought has crossed my mind. It's just so cold up there.

With climate change making itself felt, no, actually it's not. No moreso than Maine or Minnesota in the strip of borderland where the majority of us live.

In Ontario, the Ontario Labour council is mobilzing for a Jan 18 protest. So all you "hosers" out there, time to get out the winter jackets and hit the streets. Do your part to get this off the ground.

Ben, I’m an impatient Aussie and living in a country that doesn’t have anything remotely similar to the MeidasTouch Network. Our next federal election is coming up next year and I’m afraid that our (not so uneducated as Americans) people are going to vote the right wing Liberal/National Coalition party into office headed by Peter Dutton. His predecessor Scott Morrison already tried in the nerdiest of ways to implement some form of autocracy by secretly being sworn into 5 ministries other than the Prime Ministership. This, without the appointed ministers knowing. Dutton is far worse and I think is going to create a dangerous situation for Australia where it’ll take 100 years to recover from.

I implore you to expand your international coverage exponentially and with urgency. Please, thank you in advance. P.S. I have your unapologetically pro democracy hoodie.

Fellow Aussie here, I totally agree with you. With Murdoch in control of a lot of our media and political narrative, we’re in trouble. I’ve also noticed our free channels when reporting the news on America, it’s always about Trump, you only ever hear negative reporting about President Biden. Dutton recently bragged to us about the defeat of the, update to misinformation laws. What he was admitting to, is that he’s going to lie and mislead the public to win the election, with the help of Murdoch. If you’re interested, check out Australians for a Murdoch Royal Commission. I think if we can hold him accountable for using his media apparatus to influence our elections, the better off we’ll be. We need to start calling out louder, when Dutton and other conservative politicians lie and deceive us. Fingers crossed Clive Palmer doesn’t waste his money again 🤞😅

Hey, Ben! It sounds like the world is on board with you! Find those people...expand and grow. Your humble beginnings have taken root, sprouted and the tree is growing. We need this tree. Bring on the reporters who want to speak truth to power!

Hopefully it's a big ol bayan tree and just keep spreading out!

The Fraiser Institute in Vancouver, is supported by right wing think tanks like Heritage, Federalist,etc. Meidas in needed in Canada to counter this incoming threat of right wing garbage.

IT’S ABOUT TIME!

Canadians rallied exhaustively leading up to the 2016 US election, worked tirelessly to help expose the underbelly of the 4-yr Trump administration and never stopped during Biden’s 4 years. Yet the average American is so wrapped up in their own demise of “domestic democracy” they never returned the favour to Canada and failed miserably to understand that where America goes, so does the rest of the free world. Where were they all during the Convoy Creep crisis or the Conservative-fixed anointing of right-wing, gum-flapping moron Pierre Poilievre while other candidates were illegally slandered with zero blowback? Nowhere to be heard or seen.

This expansion of coverage is what we need and it is well appreciated!! Thank you. DIVE IN!

Yes, I would love to know more and how we can join hands. I am your neighbor in Maine and love your country. Our news ignores what happens north of our border. I'm so damn tired of the focus on that orange arse.

Meidas! Keep up the good work. Information is the new GOLD.

So true! Tucker Carlson was in Poilievre's home province of Alberta in the spring for his 'Liberate Canada' tour.

Danielle Smith was in attendance. She's a climate change denier as her province burns around her. Elon Musk is also working to get Poilievre elected, as he has posted about it. I would also like to know more about Poilievre's ties to Diagolon and why he has been endorsed by Alex Jones smh!

Poilievre flirts heavily with Diagolon, then publicly trashes them.

Remind you of anyone?

This is such exciting news! When I first discovered MeidasTouch you had around 380 k subscribers and now you are on the way to 4 million and being an international force. Little did I know that just by viewing your videos and "liking" them I was helping to build something so great. It's humbling to be a part of your movement. And thank you for the reporting on Georgia and Syria. It is empowering to know so much of the world is in this fight together.
