Mike @torontofringe.bsky.social · 05/04/2025What do you think of “hands off” as a protest slogan? I like “elbows up” better, but “hands off” probably fits the purpose of the U.S. protests better 150 0
Mike @torontofringe.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Terrible news that Stratford Festival lost $1 million last year. For a long time I've thought Stratford received too much government money, but I also don't want to see it flounder while Canada is struggling. 020 0

Mike @torontofringe.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Excluding Minnesota, the U.S. states about to get hit hardest by an Arctic air mass all voted for Trump. Cast your vote a) Do you think Trump will be there to take care of them if disaster strikes? b) Or will a lot of red state voters be having a "Leopard ate my face moment"? (please retweet) 000 0

Mike @torontofringe.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Trump is after Canadian land and he’s announcing new tariffs and tariff threats daily to force us into submission. They are trying to strangle us just like the Union army did to the southern states in the Civil War 175 years ago with “Anaconda plan” Trump understands 19th century history. 041 0

Mike @torontofringe.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Concerned about opioid use in Canada? This is absolutely shocking.

Mike @torontofringe.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Just got off phone with sister and Mom. Sister never buying Dove soap again because it’s American. All her friends are pissed off, no U.S. vacations planned, no more U.S products were avoidable. No one trusts Trump. 0102 0
Mike @torontofringe.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Lots of talk that oranges are from the United States but you can find something very similar to oranges in the grocer (these from Morocco). I buy cheap chocolate made in France. Canadians need to diversify otherwise we’re at the mercy of the United States. (See my anaconda plan pinned post) 042 0

Mike @torontofringe.bsky.social · 04/02/2025I used to love Andy Boy lettuce and their support for cancer research but I checked the label and am buying Ontario lettuce now.

Mike @torontofringe.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Attention Canadians 175 years ago, the Union Army of the United States used the "Anaconda Plan" to destroy the economy of the Confederacy during the U.S. Civil War, and it was successful. Trump is attempting something similar now with Canada. Buy Canadian en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anacond... 913952 0
