So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Yesterday in Vancouver on my afternoon walk. The south side of West Georgia between Chilco and Denman is orange and red. The north side is still green until you get West of Denman. There’s a beautiful patchwork of colour in the city right now 📸🍂

France’s Macron seeks sixth prime minister in under two years
😬
French PM Sebastien Lecornu has stepped down, blaming deep divisions in parliament where parties acted “as if they all had an absolute majority”.
His departure comes less than a month after taking office, throwing France into renewed political uncertainty.
