‘This is “no longer a trade about inflation or rates; it’s about faith and fear, about the slow corrosion of monetary trust.”’

Here's my message to MAGA ambassador Pete Hoekstra.
He gaslights our nation, blames Canadians for being mean to the US. He accuses of us being anti-American.
He says we are mean and nasty and doesn't like us saying Elbows Up.
Too bad Pete. We are proud anti-fascists

There is a construction project on the south corner of Shuter and Yonge Streets that has decided to fence off the sidewalk for free parking and leave the pedestrians in a live traffic lane. Please tell me this is not in fact legal in Toronto.
