...cent down to the US. I am sure there are a lot of people in Canada who would do the same.

...people came together to support each other to keep everyone safe. In that spirit, maybe it might be worth posting regular videos about Canadian businesses hurting and how we can help. Even though it will cost more, I would rather pay extra to get something here to The Rock than send a single...

@charlieangus104.bsky.social. My grandmother told me about everything people had to do in St. John's because of the constant threat of attack during WWII. Don't forget that Bell Island was the only part of North America actually attacked by Nazis. Just like the rest of the city and country...

FYI: Some more of the US demands for the Canada trade deal have been leaked and it is being called an Annexation Document because of just how much control they wanted over Canada. Such as control over Canadian energy, critical minerals, and trade deals with other countries.(Source: Dean Blundell)

@justinwolfers.bsky.social I love your videos but I think your most recent video about the new US tariffs on Canada left out something important. In Jan 2025, Trump said would take Canada using "economic force". Tariffs are viewed as an act of war by Trump towards weakening and taking our country.

Sorry for the very long message. Let me know if you need more details because I don't mind doing some research if needed.

Finally, the US returned the favour after WWII when they closed their base in the 50's and donated it to the Newfoundland Government. The government turned it into the first Childrens' Hospital that saved my life years later.

(There is the famous story of a woman in town unable to wipe the oil off a sailor until the sailor told her that he was black - very rare in NL at the time. This sailor was so amazed at being treated like everyone else that it inspired him to ranks and jobs no other black person had before.)

#2. During WWI, 3 US Navy ships ran aground during a storm in Newfoundland. Dozens of Newfoundland fishermen lowered themselves down a cliff in that storm to rescue as many sailors as possible.

Into more detail because there is no guarantee you will get it: #1 40 years ago this year, about 250 US military died on their way home for Christmas at Gander. A monument to those 101st Air Division souls is located a short walk from where the 9/11 refugees landed in 2001.

@charlieangus104.bsky.social I posted something via Facebook Messenger and don't know if you check posts there (or here, for that matter). The US needs to know just how much it needs Canada and how good of a neighbour we have been and I have several stories that might be worth telling. I won't go..

@briantylercohen.bsky.social Please fix your video on Canada ASAP. You mixed up the two parties and the clip played was of PM Carney, not the Conservative leader. Red is Liberal and blue is Conservative up here.

@velshi.bsky.social Why do US media keep getting it wrong about Canada??? Even if the tariffs were completely dropped, Canada will still boycott US goods/travel because our sovereignty has been repeatedly threatened by the US and it will stay like that for at least the next four years. Elbows up!!!

@timmerjoe.bsky.social A big thank you all of your great videos. I had minor surgery to get a kidney stone removed about 6 weeks ago. I started watching your playlist when I got home and it was going until I was well enough to get on the go two days later. Just what the doctor ordered! Thanks!!!

Both Trump's place of work and Putin' place of work are both called The White House. I finalize understand why they both have the same name.

@mrbarrylewis.bsky.social You have done some taste tests of Canadian food, but how about some Newfoundland food? A lot of settlers came from your part of England hundreds of years ago, so it might be interesting to compare similar foods from both sides of the pond.

@sanders.senate.gov You are the only politician pushing back against Trump's threat to conquer Canada. Why is no one openly pushing back on this??? As a Canadian, I am DISGUSTED by the silence of US media, public, and others regarding the open threat to conquer an ally. Silence is approval to Trump.
