Donald Trump wanted Canada to weaken its protections for the French language and culture.

Quebec has been French speaking for over 400 years. It is one of the oldest European societies in North America, and the heart of French America.

It was there long before Trump. It will be there long after him.

Protect Quebec.
Protect French Canadian culture. 🇨🇦⚜️

In April 1955, a nurse held up a newspaper for a polio patient so he could read the headline...the disease that paralyzed him had finally been beaten.

Vaccines came too late for him. But they did come in time for millions of others. Let's never forget that.
