Montreal. Mom. Mambo.

According to measurable indicators, Quebec is the 6th happiest place to live on earth. Jurisdictions ahead of us are also known for high taxation rates, quality services and decent redistribution systems. (i.e. low taxation rates don’t buy happiness, just more crap from Walmart.)

“By shifting the focus to U.S. service trade surpluses, Canada and its allies could fundamentally alter the trade narrative. This approach highlights America’s increasing reliance on its service trade surplus while exposing the economic risks of disrupting global trade.”

Sitting with my mom at the hospital marvelling at the amazing care she is getting thanks to the taxes that I happily pay.
Can you believe that there are countries where tax-funded, quality care is politicized and somehow decried by those who would benefit most?
Gosh I’m lucky to be a Canadian!

I hope all members of the political class heed JC’s words, especially those who seem to think that threats against Canada are partisan opportunities.
I dare politicians in Quebec and the rest of Canada to work together against bullying and disrespect of Canadian sovereignty.

I’m wondering if that term landed anywhere in the US?
