I'm still looking to speak to Canadians living in Iran or the broader middle east, for a story about what they think of Canada's consular response. Email me - [email protected] #cdnpoli #IranWar

@DocPriyamMD Things started to get better when I retired. That and implementing the sleep hygiene tips that everyone suggests. They do work. And for me, controlling my blood pressure. Hi BP= hard to fall asleep.

@girdley Great insights! I have wondered about this exact thing. I couldn’t wait to get a summer job or two. So interesting that summer employment > summer enrichment for college and so ironic that wealthier households have higher summer employment rates.

Well worth reading Carneys full speech. I won’t pretend that I understand all of his references but I do understand that this is man who really, really understands what is going on and the strategies that can work in our new reality. Very ambitious, honest and pragmatic.

@_MAGA_NEWS_ Feeling that the only ones that believe this to be shocking or "jaw dropping" are Americans. For everyone else, this is a given, and only needs to be said out loud to those who have not been aware of Greenland's history.

@TONYxTWO I have never seen strawberries in Florida for $1.94 this year. Current flyer shows them at $3.48 US on sale (save $1.51)

[Sprague Cannery 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 @SpragueFoods]

Tariffs may still feel abstract to many, so let me share something tangible to help everyone better understand the gravity of the situation.

We employ 50 people at our Canadian cannery. A significant portion of our business is with US customers. For decades, we’ve operated under free trade and structured our business accordingly.

Food canning is highly competitive, and we operate on thin profit margins.

From March 4 to March 7, a 25% tariff was imposed on Canadian imports to the US. For shipments during just this short period, our customers were taxed a combined total of $26,632.12 USD. We've offered to absorb these costs to maintain our customer relationships for now.

This arrangement isn't sustainable. 25% is simply too high of a tariff to absorb on an ongoing basis. If these tariffs persist, we risk losing a substantial—and the most profitable—portion of our business.

Unless we make up for these losses in the Canadian market, it will lead to significant job losses and could even put us out of business completely.

That's why we're urgently appealing to Canadian retailers: please list our products and other products made by Canadian food manufacturers affected by these tariffs. Do it now, please!

We must swiftly respond to this economic warfare to protect Canada’s domestic food and beverage manufacturing industry. This is a matter of food sovereignty and security. We are being attacked!

Canadian customers, please ask your local managers to list more Canadian products in place of US products. This is urgent!

@YourAnonCentral The price of gas went up 20 cents a gallon today in Florida. Oh well.

@RejiYates Other odd things that are only in America:
Styrofoam cups
Plastic cutlery, sometimes even in restaurants
Endless plastic bags from the grocery stores
Bread with lots of sugar in it
Very few full fat yoghurt options
"Ethnic" foods in grocery stores have Mexican and Chinese only

@jwhittalClimate In our park in #Lakeland 75/225 trailers flooded. One couple announced today that they were tapping out. I wonder how many will follow. Some parks were definitely worse.

Amazing to see #northernlights tonight in North Bay, Ontario. I’ve seen orange and green before but never pink. iPhone actually enhanced the view. Best part was meeting lots of families seeking same.
