“Trump is trying to orchestrate the total collapse of the Canadian economy, in order to make it easier for Canada to be annexed by the United States.”

That’s what the Prime Minister of Canada just told the world.

Think about that.

Really let it sink in.

An attack.

Are you ok with that, America?
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

Do you know effective bystander intervention? Would you know how to safely de-escalate a situation of harassment in public?

I offer FREE 1hr webinars on effective intervention.

This is the act of an enemy. A villain. A fascist. An invader.

Make no mistake. It’s an attack.

American researchers are scrambling to preserve their data and I've heard Canadian libraries and archives are trying to help them.

As data goes off-line under Trump, researchers upload backups
A team of scholars has worked since November to archive resources that are valuable to themselves and the public—just in case they were taken down.

Looking for alternatives to American-owned companies?

Try @thestorygraph.com instead of Goodreads (which is owned by Amazon). You can download all your data, it’s free and founded and still run by a Black woman.
