In 1988 I was an idiot 18 year old that believed in free trade with USA. Turns out Turner was a prophet. Would Mulroney have made a different decision if he could have glimpsed the future? Not sure. youtube.com/shorts/jlvb9...

Bought lemons from Morocco imported through Saskatoon. I have enjoyed mandarins from South Africa, clementines from Spain and peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers from local greenhouses along with my Ontario asparagus. Can we keep going in this direction and not back to everything from USA. ❤️🇨🇦

Essentially the Trump tariffs on Canada are a replay of the 1890s McKinley tariffs. Note that one of Trump's early executive orders was to reverse name Denali back to Mt McKinley. An interesting foreshadowing. How this plays out is really up to Canada. #Canada www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Gretzky is a MAGA representative sending a message to 🇨🇦 in my opinion. He did not wear the Team 🇨🇦 jersey, came out of the 🇺🇲 locker room giving thumbs up to the 🇺🇲 players. I didn't see any real interaction with the 🇨🇦 players and I didn't see him at the winning 🇨🇦 national anthem. Gretzky is MAGA not 🇨🇦

Saw on the news that Walmart stocks are down. The Dow is down. As a 🇨🇦 I stopped shopping at Walmart after the Trump win. They said that they can weather tariffs, but not sure about the change in consumer patterns. If you can boycott. One person is a drop in a bucket - Many is a flood #Canada

Buy Canadian, boycott 🇺🇲 seems to be working. I thought it would be hard to give up cross border shopping, but honestly I'm never going back. It was a habit, more than a necessity. Canada has so much potential and it is inspiring to see how hard Canadians are working for a bright future. #Canada

Shop 🇨🇦/ Boycott 🇺🇲 is a grassroots citizen led mass movement. The media is saying that it won't make an impact. MAGA 🇺🇲 says that they don't care along with many more insults towards 🇨🇦. Canadian companies understand the assignment and are stepping up. Politicians take notice. ❤️🇨🇦 #Canada

🇺🇲 has measles and tuberculosis outbreaks in multiple states. I read that their hospitals are full of people with the flu. They are not monitoring/reporting bird flu. The president keeps threatening to annex us pretty much daily. Can we close the 🇨🇦 border yet? #Canada

How is it that I am agreeing with Stephen Harper? Pollievre truly is 🍁 MAGA and he will annex 🇨🇦 if he ever becomes PM. 46% of Canadian Conservatives support trump and they support PP. 🍁 MAGA or Canadian true north strong and free. That's the clear choice. Harper is clearly a Canadian. ❤️🇨🇦 #Canada

Trump says that 🇨🇦 needs protection from China and Russia and that we need 🇺🇲 protection. 🇨🇦 needs protection from Trump & MAGA. Trump is serious as he repeats his annexation threats daily it seems. Politicians, voters & consumers take notice. 🍁MAGA or Canadian true north strong and free. Your choice❤️🇨🇦

46% of Canadian Conservatives support Trump. Polievre has yet to condemn Trump for his 51st state repeated comments. A vote for Pollievre is a vote for annexation. You are 🍁 MAGA or Canadian - true north strong and free. ❤️🇨🇦 youtu.be/lpWnd3NLvVk?...

Now 🇨🇦 is known as peacekeepers. This is a good insight as to who we were as soldiers in the world wars. This is how we defended our allies. The curent fierce love of Canada is an indication of how we would defend our home in my opinion. ❤️🇨🇦 nationalpost.com/news/canada/...

"Moe advocated bringing Canada's Border Security Agency under military control. He said doing that would allow Canada to put troops at the border" Merging CBSA and military would also be an increase in 🇨🇦 military spending. Smart. #Canada www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

For all the 🇺🇲s calling for 🇨🇦 to be tough on the border - just a reminder of the cocaine seizure headed north by CBSA. Drugs come north, but we 🇨🇦 are responsible for seizing them. "CBSA officers seize a combined 246 kg of cocaine at Aldergrove and Pacific Highway Commercial ports of entry"

Trump says that America does not need Canada. He is slapping us with 25% tarrifs on Feb 1st. IMO we are going to take an economic hit anyways due to our close relationship with 🇺🇲, so time to expand and find new trade partners. Separate from 🇺🇲 as much as possible. ❤️🇨🇦 youtu.be/SCe2gMHYoTM?...

If you are a Canadian needing a mental break from all the crazy in the world right now, or an American looking for your emotional support Canadian may I recommend Vinyl Cafe Christmas stories. These stories won't solve the world's problems, but it is a nice mental health break. I listen on YouTube.
