Canada's total GDP was $2.63 trillion in 2025. Quebec and Ontario produced 60% of that. The media aren't helping to explain it, and social media is driving disinformation about it. Do you know how equalization actually works? #cdnpoli

More tariffs on Canada! Apparently one of the major reasons is our boycott of US alcohol. What trump doesn't understand is that even if the Premiers lift the ban, most Canadians will still not buy it. The boycott of everything US was initiated by the people not the politicians. #canpoli #uspoli
