So sorry this is happening. I’m sitting in Nova Scotia, wondering what the hell is happening over there. Keep fighting the good fight, we are with you in spirit.
I have a son, daughter in law, and grandkids in Nova Scotia and I'm there often. Thank you for standing with us. We don't want this horrible regime either. Our process is flawed with gerrymandered districts and the antiquated electoral college and it could well be the end of us.
Hang in there. You are doing good work. I used to be a US citizen but have lived in Canada so long it felt right to finally become one and I relinquished my US citizenship over a decade ago. It felt right at the time, and even more right now, though I mourn for all the rational people who are trying to live their lives in the awful new reality that those nazis are creating. And whatever happens down there affects us here. The 51st state nonsense was just to get us riled up or something, but it is just that - nonsense. The real scary bit is the not inconsiderable number of rt wing Canadians who seem to think it all makes sense, or who want in on the carnage.
As am I. We do what we can to resist, and honestly I think that orange shitegibbon’s buffoonery may actually help bring many Canadians back to a more centrist way of voting. Pierre is tainted by his connection to the trump administration.
I’m glad you mentioned Senator King - I did see him speaking out and was heartened by his words, as a bolster to my own Senators Warren and Markey. My wish is that our Northeastern states would band together in solidarity, but Collins remains a major disappointment and an outlier.
She's the antithesis of the progressive leadership New England has shown for literally over two hundred years in this country. She's a total blight on our region.
I've lived in this state for almost 18 years, and I honestly do not understand how she keeps getting re-elected. From your description her staff is definitely an extension of her, so I'm not surprised by your experience. She's definitely a hinderance to this state with her performative "concern," but now she's become a liability to both state and country with her willfully blind obedience to the coup and its perpetrators. Let's work towards electing someone more qualified to defend the freedoms of Mainers and uphold the Constitution.
I write Susan every couple of days to express my feelings about the incredible job she is doing. Yesterday's note suggested that she resign if she was not willing to stand up to Trump. I am pretty much convinced that she is going to do nothing because she doesn't want to lose her appropiations power . She is being extremely NAIVE and does not realize that is has already been usurped from her by the self coronated king. Susan wants to be regarded as one of those great Maine historical figures like Margaret Chase Smith . She used to be counted on for standing for womens issue but now she has been corrupted by the GOP's greed for absolute power. Something changed after the Kavanaugh fiasco when she sold women out, now she doesn't seem to care anymore.
But she’s given up her appropriations power by allowing Trump and Musk do what they’re doing! She’s waited all these years to be the head of the Appropriations Committee and she’s give up her power! I just don’t understand why she’s suck a f’in coward.
While trying to pose as a moderate, Susan “I Have Concerns” Collins is as right wing as Marjorie Trailer Queen. Collins just has slightly better social graces. What a fraud.
The Portland press herald is already predicting that her attempt to be reelected will involve 400-600 million damn dollars in campaign spending. This is sickening! And they are saying she has "crossover appeal." Like hell she does. She just had "better" spindoctors. We Mainers have to get her out once and for all this time.
As with other member of congress her time is up You’ve had your chance and look what you’ve done. Retire and let someone younger and fresher take over. You are finished

I am seriously worried about the right wing movement in Canada. :(

Yes, my son in NS said the same. He thinks the totality of this shit show in the US may be hurting the far right in Canada. I hope so.
I fervently hope so. But the provincial conservatives in NS are reaching for a trump-lite playbook, which is making me nervous.

You are not alone. I have had several go nowhere tone deaf conversations with her staff as well. We will keep calls coming from Maine.

AND, it is so disheartening that the majority of Maine Republicans agree with Trump's actions to destroy our country.
Keep on her. I’ve called her office too but I wasn’t as tenacious as you are. Thank you.

C’mon I’m sure Senator Collins is concerned and that the president has learned.
As with other member of congress her time is up You’ve had your chance and look what you’ve done. Retire and let someone younger and fresher take over. You are finished
Her favorite line “I’m concerned……“.
Her favorite action - do nothing.
tRump is a dictator, not a president.
If you have republican congresspeople, contact them and demand that they resign.
They are complicit in this coup.
Lost cause, that one. She represents the northern Maine magats.
I get the same crap from Ernst office. They are all cowards
She strikes me as a small bird that twitters, flutters and dithers and never makes a stand. A continuing disappointment.
