After reviewing the pinned posts I realize how much you've done and I wanted to say thank you. And for the regional feeds. It's so damned nice to have a social media news feed that isn't toxic.

I hope no-one does anything shady, like a #CanadaPost change of address to send US Embassy mail to the Russian Embassy. That would just be...wrong.
So guys. DEFINITELY DO NOT DO THAT.

Food imported from Canada to the US will be 25% more expensive due to these tariffs.
But it will be worth the price.
Why?
Because we don't have some DOGE idiot firing food inspectors and environmental protection staff.

Nearly 360,000 Canadians (so far) have signed the e-petition asking our gov to revoke F.Elon Musk's citizenship.
Most of us know there isn't a legal basis to do so. We all just want him to know what we think of him and his Nerd Reich.

Regardless of the direction any tariff war takes, Canadians will not stop boycotting imports from the US until Trump apologies on camera, or leaves the WH.

We're all nodding in approval to playback of Immigration Minister Marc Miller's answer to a reporter asking about the pending tariffs.
"We have a higher pain threshold than our neighbours to the south, and this will be painful"

People like Lindsey Graham should be careful when running their mouths suggesting the US can't support Ukraine unless Zelensky changes / steps down.
He might give the rest of the world ideas.
Like no more Canadian electric or oil until Trump and maga go away.
