Apparently a lot of people weren't making it a practice to buy local before Mr. Tariff came along. But beyond that, we should be asking ourselves why Canada, our provinces, and our municipalities have been giving so many contracts to US companies in the first place

Hannah Arendt says the most evil thing about fascism weren't the atrocities but the willingness of people to go along.
Trump has cut funds to the most desperately poor.
He threatens Canada.
But he can't tell you where to spend your money.

Linda McQuaig: Trump and the Liberals have left Poilievre with an axe but nothing to wield it against
U.S. President Donald Trump’s gunslinger swagger about annexing Canada takes the focus here off the Liberal government’s carbon tax as the greatest danger that could befall Canadians. American troops ...

Many people think that as you get older, you care less about politics. But it’s not true.
You start thinking a lot more about the kind of world you want to leave behind. You want it to be better than the one you were born into.
We all have a personal legacy in mind. Mine is to outlive Trumpism.
