@Martyupnorth_2 Sarcasm, at its finest.

Yes, Canada's economic woes—like stagnant productivity, ballooning debt-to-GDP ratios exceeding 100% under Trudeau since 2015, and a housing crisis—predate Trump's tariffs by years. Internal policies on immigration overload, energy restrictions, and fiscal mismanagement have eroded competitiveness far more than any U.S. trade measures. Blaming tariffs distracts from Ottawa's self-inflicted wounds, not cross-border tensions.

@KieserBill But they canceled their Disney Chanel, and paid the carbon tax on it ..so it’s ok.

@ktb38 What’s messed up about it?

[Cheri Carroll @Knitpickin]

@AreOhEssEyeEe I am experimenting with grinding my own wheat berries (making my own flour) and bread. It behaves differently from enriched white bread. I haven’t succeeded yet and recently discover I need to autolyse first.

@RanchersChips I’m happy to preorder to give them a try, but how much is shipping?

Chrystia Freeland’s GST pitch dismantled in the Senate: vague answers, tough questions, and no plan in sight.

@LeafandThistle Not in Canada 🇨🇦 you wouldn’t. I bring inside shoes when visiting or to house parties, otherwise it’s sock feet.

[Cheri Carroll @Knitpickin]

@LeafandThistle You expect this government to make sense when they say buying a Costco rotisserie chicken is a “privledge” ?

[Cheri Carroll @Knitpickin]

@AreOhEssEyeEe Now learn to mill your own organic flour (no GMO)

@DanKnightMMA @CarrollWalt But…”the budget will balance itself”…

@AreOhEssEyeEe I live in a small town, sadly it is no different 😔

I can’t go to the public library anymore. I’m afraid of being accosted for money in the parking lot and stabbed by needles in the washroom.

Recently we had an individual wielding a knife on the street outside said library.

@LeafandThistle 😋🤤

This is why I refused to call myself a feminist in the 70-80’s. It seemed to be more about male-bashing and less about equal rights.

Can someone please get this video in front of Trudeau.

[Cheri Carroll @Knitpickin]

@JustinTrudeau It’s a debt you refuse to pay…because we are asking for more than you can (will) give.

@BigCDNDaddyBear @echipiuk Proportional based on what, land area or population? If it is by population, rural folks will never have a say and the focus will be on the needs of metro areas.

@LionAdvocacy The “Brain Drain” is not a new phenomena.

@voicesunheard @JohnCunnington5 Shit can happen.

A pilot friend of mine had a massive heart attack while on final approach; this was pre-pandemic. Commercial pilots over age 40 are also required to have medicals/ECG’s every 12 months.

Let’s not jump to conclusions.
