"This strategy works best if Trump himself is not impeached. That way Democrats can claim that they’re merely going after government corruption by underlings, not fighting the will of the great and good American people. I don’t see a downside."

Anonymous - Trump offers a bribe of $5,000 in exchange for votes, the bribe is promoted as a dividend and would cost $1.2 trillion dollars. This is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 597, bribing someone to vote a certain way is a federal crime punishable by prison. #cdnpoli

As Carney pivots trade from U.S., here are some of Canada's new deals
Prime Minister Mark Carney was elected on a platform to stand up to the United States on tariffs, and diversify trade so Canada is no longer as dependent on the U.S. as it has been.

What do #Canadians want? A 50% export tax on ALL resources sent to the US, including electricity, oil, bitumen, potash and more. This is done. Trump will just demand more. I'd also nationalize any operations that close here and make them Canadian-owned operations, with each of us holding a share.
