You should watch this. Especially my friends in the USA.
You can’t overstate the historic importance of today’s speech to both American and Canadian citizens by Canada’s Prime Minister.
Please watch it and share it wherever you live, but especially if you’re in the United States. You need to know what Trump is doing, and why. youtu.be/wz_42pckM7w

We should buy the products of Canadian companies not because economic nationalism is a good idea — the whole point of our outrage at the tariffs is that it isn’t — but because specific local companies, our neighbours, are getting hurt badly by this and need a lot of support now

Because Fort Knox is way less secure than cryptocurrency, right? 🙄
Trump on DOGE: We’re going to go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is still there. You know that? We’re going to go into Fort Knox. You know about that? We hope everything is fine with Fort Knox. But we’re going to go to Fort Knox and make sure the gold is still there.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

Over my mostly private-sector career, I’ve heard the suggestion that government is incompetent and the private sector is efficient and effective.
Many times I’ve seen the opposite, with the private sector often shockingly incompetent but largely un-scrutinized like the public sector is.
Until now.

By donating their current U.S. inventory (which no one wants right now) to a Food Bank, Canadian grocery stores can compensate for the loss with a tax deduction and by a smart advertising campaign, then replace with a Canadian or non-American good. Win win.
