This simply means a leader willing to surrender massive parts of their country to a foreign invader, setting itself up for future invasion by the same power.

There's various, some conficting, reports around this. Main stream media hasn't picked it up yet. Here's what I found: The departure date, contents, & country of destination appear known. The ship's said to be approaching but not yet arrived. Both the exact volume & the buyer are unknown.

Far Right/MAGA oligarch Elon Musk is promoting the destruction of Canada. The apartheid era South African is using his social media platform to attack Canada. Canada should respond to this foreign interference in Canadian national unity matters by banning X.

This is a health and safety issue - from excess chemicals to infectious produce - we need warnings that produce may be from 🇺🇸 where they have gutted regulations and inspections. Vulnerable Canadians - elderly or disabled - order online with NO labeling. Like this below: #HealthCanada #Canada
Lettuce online - no labeling of country of origin. Is it diarrhea lettuce? Who knows. That could kill a frail elderly person. Raspberries from where? Your guess is as good as mine.

If you hear of the use of this app - or an app like it - by anyone, report it to the National Observer & Rachel. This is by far one of the greatest threats to democracy. If it's being used at the municipal level, bet that someone at Prov. & Fed. levels has *at least* contemplated its use. #CDNpoli
