For today's #archivechallenge it seems appropriate to share a piece by my fellow Canadian, @dawnwriter.bsky.social . What if things were different? What if it hadn't all gone so badly? What if we looked on others with kindness? @mrbullbull.bsky.social mrbullbull.com/newbull/flas...

“Everybody has been waiting for somebody to test whether ‘no’ is actually an option. Carney just tested it. He didn’t do it with a cheap shot or stunt. He offered the Americans everything reasonable, let them poison the deal themselves, and then documented what they did & why it was unacceptable.”

VIDEO: Mark Carney Just Became The Most Important Leader In The Free World

Carney laid it out line by line in his presser today. Trump tried to claim Canada a vassal state at 11 pm last night. Carney told him to fuck off and woke up as the new leader of the free world.
