Seriously, Canada? Cancel culture's hounding even Gretzky. He doesn't owe anyone a political declaration. Let his legacy stand on his skill, not forced opinions.

“In late December, before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation, Trump posted on his social media network, Truth Social, that he had visited Gretzky and urged him to run for prime minister, "soon to be known as the Governor of Canada."
Wow… hmmm…
I wonder how “we” would feel if one of our revered athletes (think Michael Jordan, Dale Earnhardt, Tiger Woods, Hank Aaron or Tom Brady for example) did something similar?
I don't follow the logic in villainizing Gretzky for what Trump did. Likewise, he doesn't owe anybody a political statement because of what Trump did either.

As for me, I don’t hold individuals socially or personally accountable for someone else’s actions, no matter their fame or status.
If by "we" you mean those in the U.S. who use social pressure, boycotts, and public shaming to enforce conformity—I’ve never been part of that group. I believe their approach contradicts the ideals this country stands for.

You sidestepped my question.
Why would we hold it against any of the athletes you mentioned if Kim jong-un asked them to run for an office in the US?
Darrell,
You've assumed I'm Musk in previous comments, a known evil entity by you.
I'm officially asking you to run for governor of your state.
Now you are being nonsensical.
Again, you side stepped my question.
This question ?

Obfuscation is unbecoming in you.
Please explain how I am blurring or blowing smoke?
Did I, or did I not answer your question?
I'm OK being wrong in your eyes.
Then be OK
