Nope. You are completely tone deaf to what Canadians feel. Have you come out to publicly and explicitly condemn Trump’s statements about Canada? You don’t say it in the video and there’s plenty of good food and wine in Canada, thank you very much.
The Golden State and Canada have always shared so much in common.

Sure, you-know-who is trying to stir things up back in DC, but don't let that ruin your vacation plans.

We’re launching a new international campaign to welcome and encourage Canadians to visit the Golden State.

This is equivalent to “extraordinary rendition” - a shameful American legacy of post-9/11 illegal acts. America, read your history - and while you are at it you might want to take a peek at what the 1930s in Germany looked like.
This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.

I do not think in the year 2025 that we should continue to accept a reality which sees women paid just $0.75 for every $1 men are paid for doing the same job.

If we want to achieve economic justice in this country — that means equal pay for equal work.

"To confront & defeat the threat, America has to name it. The GOP is now a fascist movement that is beholden to Trump, Putin, & white supremacy at the expense of democracy, truth, & freedom."

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera.

If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.
