Windsorite Susan Taylor was at Toast, ready to pay for her breakfast when she was told the bill had been covered.
“The waitress made an announcement in the restaurant that this lovely couple in the corner is paying for everyone who is in the restaurant at the time for breakfast,” Taylor told AM800’s Mornings with Mike and Meg.
“She (the donor) said that she was American, and she just wanted to apologize,” said Taylor.
“She said she knows that their president has caused a rift in what was happening between our countries, and she wanted us to know that not all Americans are bad people.”
I think many Americans are puzzled and dismayed by Trump’s actions toward Canada, but are at a loss for what to do about it.
If you have enough money to cover everyone’s tab at a restaurant, you can have a big impact by donating to orgs that are suing the Trump administration.
Nobody with a functioning brain should be surprised about what is happening now after living through his first term but it is still fucking depressing.
I like to think my brain functions, I was quite surprised to see him reelected.
This is a good time to remind everyone that fascism is always accompanied by the Rise of Stupid. The lies and wrongness of obvious statements are necessary for people to justify subjugation and deprivation.
The time for doing something about it was November 5th. Now the fascists have seized all power with majorities in every branch of US government and are burning the bridges of representative Democracy behind them. I do not expect those who couldn’t find it within themselves to simply cast a ballot, to now become effective terrorist insurgents against the fascist regime.
