Blame your stupid President who continues to threaten Canada's sovereignty. Trump forces the sale of California winery. Fix your title, Los Angeles Times #Canada #LosAngesTimes

Canada's boycott forces the sale of a California winery
As California's wine industry struggles, a family-owned vineyard spanning 3,500 acres is for sale after its exports to Canada dropped 35% in a year.

A texas oil giant is preparing a ship for an illegal incursion into Greenland waters. The ship is out of Quebec City and is flying the Canadian flag. Call Desgagné Transport and let them know that Canadian companies must respect the sovereignty of allied nations. (418) 692-1000

At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 23 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. The cruelty is endless.

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

First he was told that he had to be put to sleep. Then it looked like he might never walk again but what nobody had counted on was the heart within little Stormzy. I remember the days trying to teach him to walk again. He must have fallen over a thousand times but every single time he got back up.

Just responding to the headline here: 1) no, provinces do not have the 'right' to take away rights. 2) If it's not health care, then provinces can't regulate it!!! www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
theglobeandmail.com
Opinion: Ottawa can decide that MAID is not a crime. Provinces have the right to decide that it is not health care
Alberta is set to challenge the notion that MAID must be provided widely simply because the federal government allowed for it

She keeps getting chances to show some loyalty to Canada -- and keeps turning them away in order to defend Alberta separatists and their cause. It's who she is. It's time we all started saying it. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/02/o...

Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist
Alberta's premier says she supports "a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." Her actions tell a much different story — one that makes her position on the issue impossible to ignore.
