Olivia, you enter the world with your eyes wide open in order to see reality. So many either refuse or are incapable of seeing the world as it really is - whether it's ideology or personal psychology. I applaud the life yiu have chosen to live and your run for Congress. Best of luck to you.

I’m a Canadian. I’m fighting as best an old woman can against the idiotic and unpatriotic govt we have in my province of Alberta. If my province separates, then trump will have a foothold up here. Please stop him. If the separation folks here see him lose and fade away, I won’t lose my home to their idiocy. I doubt they will win any referendum but they have to know why. Our premier has cozied up to trump. Lutnick insults my country at every opportunity. We can’t keep fighting this level of hostility. It’s not healthy.

I love our prime minister but he can’t directly interfere with provincial squabbles.

Sigh.

When I hear you say you’ll fight, I wish I had money that I could send you because smart women like yourself, I am convinced, will prove the end of trump.

My heart is with your campaign.

Alberta is threatening to separate? First I've heard of that. For God sakes, WHY?

That'd be a move with all the forethought and intelligence of Brexit. Except worse

And worst of all, it'd open the door for Fox News to get a toehold in your country. That happens and in just a few years you'll be us

Our premier, Danielle Smith, says she doesn’t want to separate but nor does she castigate the idiots who do. They’re whiners and always have been. The feds are so nasty blah blah blah. She is quite busy diminishing rights, ruining our health care so it’s one path for the rich and another for the rest of us. There’s a lot of money in this province and naturally a lot of poverty. She’s going after trans and handicapped folk too. When trump got elected she was down there like a whore at a male model’s picnic. And we do have Fox because some people subscribe to it. I’m so worn out writing letters and talking to people that I have stress hives! lol! But yeah… the orange monster is everywhere.

Sorry for my long rant …. 🇨🇦❤️

Mike's avatar

Not long, not a rant

Thanks

Rant?! Oh not. I took it as education. We the States learn about what our devolution is causing when it spreads to others. And it’s heartening to know others despise it as much.

Thanks Olivia. I am happy that I was able to contribute my small amount to help you in the quest

to win this seat.

It's a shame I can't make a small, token contribution to the campaign (I tried).

A British child of Polish (Second World War - never able to return) and Mauritean (citizen - former colony) immigrants, I salute your sentiments and laud your pluck in railing against what (sad to say) represents such base amorality. Best of luck in your candidature!

I know you are aware of the feeling so many people have about the loss of rights, the racism, the wide disparity of wealth, this wasteful, illegal war and the way veterans and enlisted are treated. All this and more are contributing to feels of despair and hopelessness. No wonder there was an attempt at violence. Very bad environment now!

Don’t worry Olivia I am definitely on your team and will eventually donate for your candidacy. You will win by the grace of God.

Will watch and stay in touch.

Olivia , the nation needs you and more like you, down home people funded representatives in congress. No more Citizens United, corporate bought puppets who are just interested in self. The nation needs upstanding , decent folks with integrity. You more than qualify. God Speed. PS: Being in the presence of vile men like Stephen Miller had to be troubling .

Thank you for all you have done, with such courage, you have accomplished so much, keep it going. Question, I am not up to date in your State, but can you share why you waited so long to jump into the what seems to me to be a primary? I am from California and we are facing many democrats running for Governor and only two republicans and we democrats are worried, even though a super blue majority, it is possible that splitting the vote in a primary might result in two republicans in the final election.

I worry about this administration. The adults in the first administration are MIA in this one. Who says no to Ghoul Miller now? Who tells Trump we will not invade Greenland? Who refuses to follow illegal orders?

You were needed then and your needed now. Thank you for all you do.

I had relatives in Brownsville Texas and my only visit to Mexico was in Matamoras. Those were easier times long ago. And unfortunately things have changed drastically since then including our leader. I wish you all the luck in the world, I know if and when you are elected you will a great contributor to congress because you are smart and know more about government than many people do first hand.

A very moving column, Olivia. I'm contributing what I can to your campaign. Best of luck.

Olivia I hope the best for you. I watched your videos many times and I am impressed with your standing up to fight for our country.

Olivia has recognized right from wrong, while these other republicans have not. Congress is just as corrupt and incompetent as their leader.

Is anyone aware that MAGA acronym was created in CA, way before Trump took ownership.

It stood for Mexican American Golf Association & was created back in the 60’s.

LMAF!! 🤣🤣🤣
