We have a candidates sign on our lawn. Last night someone removed it from the lawn and hid it in some shrubs. We found it and put it back this morning and then we went and voted. @jennasudds.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social

My latest: The president of the United States is trying to destroy Canada
Opinion: Donald Trump is trying to destroy Canada
The U.S.’s tariffs are meant to break us. The only thing that they’ve certainly broken is the trust between historically close neighbours - maybe forever

Today,
I feel for all of us who suffer from what
trump is doing.
Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and, of course, the US.
But we all need to hold on, do our best,
fight on our (battle)fields, save democracy
and our countries.

May this lady give us strength

I think Premier Ford is making a smarter strategic choice than Premier Smith about how to deal with Trump.
Ford: "We will cut off energy."
Smith: "Come in and take it all."
