This is for the education of lutnick and Trump. Henry Ford started production of the Model T in 1908 the same timeline as McLaughlin was building cars in Oshawa Canada. The McLaughlin became Buick and then stolen by General Motors our assembly plants became GM Canada.

A great article for Canadians to read as evil power grows to our North and Southern borders. We need to be weary and positive at the same time.

Opinion: Being hopeful isn’t about avoiding the world’s hard realities – it’s an act of resistance
Hope demands that we shift the narrative away from the sense that we are helpless in the face of forces beyond our control

A surreal Toronto. A little world that is very difficult to travel to or get out of. Very expensive to live or play in. Spots to play, like #Biidaasigepark ,paid for by our taxes. Nonetheless the concentration of people continues.

Views of the new #Biidaasigepark or Don River Portlands. Once those trees grow tall it will be quite spectacular.

Hazy days on the farm with wildfires and their smoke making everything far too murky.

The Canadian Canoe Museum, in Peterborough, displays how the simple Canoe was perfected in Peterborough county and spawned the watercraft as a vital comercial & a recreational craft. The Canoe and its manufacture was mastered here in #Ontario. We can dominate the economy again. #elbowsup #Canada

Yes.......another Kawartha sunset with some northern wildfire haze for ambiance. Pretty and Scary at the same time.
This smoky haze, I think, is the new normal summer environment. Global warming deniers must have a few screws loose.

Wise words from wise democratic presidents. Sad to see such a long history together ruined by one greedy man. #trump #tarrifs #Canada #elbowsup

Opinion: Other U.S. presidents could have subjugated Canada. They just chose not to act like imperialists
The U.S. has long had the upper hand in dealings with Canada, but a history of admiration and respect always undergirded relations – until now

Summer sundown is the pivot in life on the lake. Why even think about vacationing in the States.

Quick drive through the #kawarthhighlands park. So many beautiful places in Ontario. No need to ever visit the USA.

Every year I make an American Flag “cake” for
the 4th of July. This year my
Adult kids asked if I could do Canada instead!
It came out kinda cute.
Yes blueberries were mixed in underneath the homemade
Whipped cream.

Everyone should visit #oshawa treasure Parkwood Estates. RS McLaughlin is the only reason we have automotive manufacturing in Canada.
