He most certainly got bad advice. from whoever talked up that this election was a good idea. Or it was himself being opportunistic. He has a majority, the opposition is a shitshow, so I really don’t know what he’s looking for. And I do hope he’s not completely miscalculated and loses this

Well surprise surprise, and ever supposedly credible news outlet went ahead with some sensational version of ‘Trump said’ I have given up hope that they resist jumping on every brain fart from the liar and report facts and not clickbait BS.

And once the text of the agreement was released, it turns out it’s all nonsense and nothing much changes. from the agreement that was already in place for decades. . Shame on the BBC for reporting ‘Trump said’ as fact

None of them, Dems or otherwise, will have it go back to what it was. We need to be prepared that has changed forever. But the US has catapulted itself from its ‘world leader’ podium as well. The world hates them and will avoid them as much as possible and that’s a great thing.

Canada has become a net importer of honey. The main driver is that is imports are often cheaper--cheaper is easy when it's NOT actually honey. “India, Vietnam, Thailand are well known for exporting fraudulent honey." Protect yourself. Shop Canadian. #cdnpoli #food farmtario.com/daily/indust...

It’s a gamble either way. If you take Albertas opinion to the referendum this will just grow. Hopefully there are enough sensible voters. If they vote to go ahead with the separation, then all deals are off. Why would BC allow a foreign country to build anything or the feds give money for it?
