[Steph 🇨🇦🌿💨 @dejager420]

I miss the days when government was accountable to the people. I wish those that are in those roles today would remember they are Public SERVANTS and they are accountable to the people in their communities, Province and Country. Anything you do should be open to the public with no backlash, playing the victim or lies. And if you cannot act like an adult when questioned, please stop waisting people’s time and money and just resign.

My rant for the day 😉✌️

“Today, we remember Jack Layton – a leader and a friend who had a gift for kindling hope in the hearts of Canadians.

‘Don’t let them tell you it can’t be done.’

15 years on, that line feels like it was written for this moment.”

@BoyGoneLoco Go take a flying leap off a cliff. Canada will be just fine without the US, tired of people with their heads in their asses.

Proud to have this man representing Canadians as our Prime Minister. Thank you for putting Canadians first 🫶

My statement on Canada-U.S. trade negotiations:

[Morgan Cameron Ross @Morgan_C_Ross]

When looking at Canada/US trade negotiations - it’s good to remember that Canada and Canadian banks own $459 billion of US debt. If Canada sells that - the US economy takes a substantial blow. Smart of Canada this past 5 years+/- increasing control of it. 🇨🇦

[Stephano🍁Barberis @HelloStephano]

All the premiers need to get together this coming week and eliminate every single interprovincial trade barrier once and for all.

Do it for Canada.

[Steph 🇨🇦🌿💨 @dejager420]

@kinsellawarren I hope he takes a run for PM one day. He loves this country and it shows with his governance in Manitoba.

[Steph 🇨🇦🌿💨 @dejager420]

He was a good man and he is missed in the political world. I remember him speaking at a Union Convention many years ago, everyone was tuned into what he was talking about Then he went and shook hands with many of us. He had a knack for making people feel seen and heard. Miss his style of governance.

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

You seem to forget the part about "using economic force" to "annex or acquire Canada," @GinnyRothTO.

Or the part about the "imaginary line" (ie border) based on "a fake treaty."

Or the Oval Office maps showing Canada as part of the USA.

Or the constant ridicule and denigration of our country and its sovereignty, and endless talk about making Canada the 51st state.

The attacks on the honour of our Afghan War dead ("they stayed a little bit back, a little bit off the front lines.")

Or our reliability as an ally ("they've never been there for us") after incurring some of the highest per capita casualties in defence of the United States in Afghanistan.

Or the threats to invade a neighbouring NATO ally (ie Danish Greenland.)

Or the threats to remove Canada from the Five Eyes, and the suspension of the Permanent Joint Defence Board.

Or treating Canada like a greater security threat than North Korea, the Peoples Republic of China, or Putin's Russia.

And now the stated goal of "changing Canada's behaviour." What behaviour? That of a reliable friend, ally, and major trading partner that actually respects its trade agreements?

Yes, we have to approach all of this with a measure of prudence, restraint and patience. Yes, we should seek a modicum of certainty amidst the constant chaos and impulsiveness.

But Canada is not a mere economic zone whose entire national purpose is the minimization of tariffs.

We are not a punching bag.

There is nothing "grown up" about ignoring or normalizing the constant provocations and betrayals.

"lol GUYS," our entire history of sustaining a sovereign Canada next to a global super power has been an act of constant will, of which we should be immensely proud. Because thankfully, our forebears were animated by love of country, not by craven cynicism masquerading as hard headed realism.

[🇨🇦Wayne🇨🇦 @Reil76]

For everyone blaming this on PM Carney;

Seriously, if you actually want to understand what just happened with this trade deal, go read Trump’s The Art of the Deal.

This last minute switcheroo isn’t some shocking new negotiating strategy.

Trump literally built his reputation around creating pressure, pushing for maximum leverage and making moves when the other side is under pressure.

And that’s basically what just happened.

We were told a deal was close.

Then, at the last minute, the terms changed.

Carney looked at the new demands and said no.

Trump’s administration says Canada walked away. Canada says the U.S. changed the deal and put forward terms that were unfair and uneconomic.

So when someone tells me, “Trust Trump. He’ll get the better deal,” my question is:

Have you actually been paying attention to how this guy negotiates?

I’ll take the guy sitting across the table who is actually looking at the numbers and Canada’s long term economic interests over someone who thinks every Trump pressure tactic is some kind of 4D chess.

Read the fucking book.

Then decide who’s actually playing whom.

A small plane came down on Foothills Boulevard near Highland Drive in Prince George, BC around 2:30pm and hit two vehicles on the road 😳

Photos from the scene show one of the plane’s propellers broken off and lying in the middle of the road, a yellow car crashed on the shoulder, and a pickup truck with debris smashed through its windshield.

RCMP Cpl. Jennifer Cooper: “It would have been impossible for drivers to necessarily predict and make emergency manoeuvres from this”

Police say it’s too soon to confirm injuries and the road will be closed for a considerable amount of time.

Hoping everyone’s okay 🙏
