I’ve been in some difficult mtgs in boardrooms full of “powerful” men in expensive 3pc suits. They had all the trappings of wealth, big titles giving them power over me and expected deferential treatment.
And they were absolute pieces of shit.
What you wear doesn’t define you.

You’re damn right Trump needs Canada. And he wants it - desperately. Canada’s vast energy, fresh water, minerals, and agriculture make it one of the most valuable territories on Earth.

He’s used to just taking what he wants.
Well he can’t take Canada.

Elbows up! ❤️🇨🇦

She is lying. And she is shutting down questions she doesn’t like - you know that pesky freedom of the press thing. Please call this what it is. A lie. Tariffs are NOT a tax cut for Canadians or Americans.

Doug Ford's 25% tariffs on electricity exports to the US is misguided because it impacts blue & purple states sympathetic to #Canada

If the US responds by cutting gas exports to #Ontario, home heating costs will surge

And Ford is responsible for this

Taylor C. Noakes: Why Doug Ford’s decisions mean Ontario can’t cut off energy to the U.S. as threatened
Premier Doug Ford has made Ontario dependent on fossil fuel imports from the U.S., while going out of his way to ensure we don’t have any alternatives.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Charlie is very correct here. We don’t need politicians playing partisan politics. We need all parties, and all hands on deck to fight the Dictatorship spiralling out of control. Canada 🇨🇦 must not minimize this threat.
Here's my latest reflection on a lesson I learned from a woman who was in the second tower on 9/11.
When the world is turned upside down taking action is the only way to survive.
Our democracy is under threat but politicians are still living in 2024.

This article by Charlie Angus is the clearest eyed I've read about the present situation in the US & Canada. Too many people remain in denial. I think that is why someone minimize Trump's threats to Canada as a mere distraction. We must fight the hope that it all goes away & act. It's too important.

tRump and president musky-smell are targeting good people with a diminished ability to defend themselves (first year workers) to be eliminated.

This is what cowards and bullies do. Then they cackle and gloat over it. The more people they hurt the happier they are.

May I suggest, if you’re planning a vacation to Canada from the States this year:

Don’t bring your flag. If it’s on a shirt, on a hat — don’t.

Most Canadians might ignore it,but I think you don’t want to find that out which ones won’t.

And our hospitals are only free for Canadians.
