Time for Canada to step up to be a nation not a colony

Most Canadians want 🇨🇦 to develop industry to make things instead of being exploited by US companies taking the bulk of the wealth south of the border

How do you feel about Trump destroying the East wing to build a huge ballroom larger than the house itself?

Trump has more plans to cement his name forever on the US political landscape

Do people in the US care about these changes or are they 🤷‍♀️?
