Calling all Canadians!! 🇨🇦 The U.S. 🇺🇲 gov't has shown it is no longer our friend or ally. Let us be like the Swiss, and train ourselves to learn self-defence and survival. Someday we may all have to participate in our nation's defence.

Today's high-tech, web-enabled, satellite-tethered military needs a serious back-to-basics approach in a place where technology can't be counted on... "If you rely too much on it, you're going to very quickly have a problem. Have to be able to work with very, very basic systems," said Leblanc.

I certainly did not vote for the traitor in chief. The traitor’s election is a failure of public education, a failure to teach civics and stress its importance. We aren’t personally guilty, just collectively.

I want to be Rosie the Canadian Drone Assembler!

Canada has promised to put millions of drones in the hands of Canadian and Ukrainian military members.

I have read that Ukrainian civilians assemble drones in their garages.

I'm a Canadian senior and I would love to:

1. follow a Lego-style manual to assemble drone rotors in my garage;

2. make drone parts with 3-D printers at my community centre; or

3. fill bags with drone parts for Ukrainians to assemble!

I'm not suggesting working with explosives or classified technology.

Quality control, union contracts, labour regulations, liability and insurance would certainly have to be addressed.

But, according to federal government statistics,

almost 2 million Canadian seniors are in good health. I believe thousands of them would love to help the war effort in Ukraine and strengthen the CAF.

A volunteer senior workforce operating in parallel with evolving automated systems seems like a time saver to me and time means lives in Ukraine.

If seniors can move Canada forward, please put us in, Coach!

We will never be trusted again. Reports confirm that U.S. officials approached Quebec directly about reducing tariffs, including on aluminum. Quebec alerted Ottawa, and no separate Quebec-U.S. trade deal resulted. bsky.app/

profile/boldnewme.bsky.social/p...

Wow. It's officially been confirmed: U.S. authorities tried to bypass Ottawa to cut a separate, backdoor trade deal with Quebec for aluminum. As reported by CTV News, Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette revealed that a U.S. representative approached provincial officials offering to reduce heavy tariffs, but she "shut the door immediately." Instead of taking the bait, Quebec stood united with the rest of Canada to maintain a common front. 1/2

"[Trump's language] is the familiar vocabulary of an abusive relationship. You are useless. Nobody else wants you. You could never survive without me. I have done everything for you. Also, where are you going, who is Ursula, and why is she calling you?" Trump abuses women, girls, and countries.
