I don't want to hear anyone blame Trudeau or Ford for #TrumpTariffs
You can be mad at our leaders for lots of things but don't fall into the traitorous MAGA trap of turning against ourselves when this is 100% about Trump's greed and need to feel powerful.

WOW. The U.S. national anthem just got BOOED at an NHL game in Canada following Trumpโs announcement that heโs imposing 25% tariffs on Canada. Pushing away our closest ally is a TERRIBLE move for the United States.
Tomorrow, Ukrainians will celebrate the fact that since August 24, 1991, Ukraine continues to be a proud and resilient state, standing strong against all odds.
Happy Independence Day, Ukraine! #StandWithUkraine
