Chapman's Ice Cream has just done something EVERY Canadian should know.
The largest ice cream company in Canada used to source fruit and nuts from American suppliers — for some, for over 30 years. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products.
So, what did Chapman's do?
📷 They called Italy.
📷 They called Spain.
📷 They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers.
And the vice president said it perfectly:
"Even if Trump wakes up smarter than yesterday, we're about to sign long-term deals with other countries — and the American companies that supply them will have nothing but their eyes to cry for."
Oh, and on top of ALL that? They're COLDing their prices so that the average Canadian doesn't have to spend a single cent more.
It's a family business. No shareholders. Just the Chapman family saying: "The least we can do is make sure Canadians still have the means to buy ice cream."
That's what Canadian pride looks like.
Next time you're at the grocery store — grab some Chapman's.
Every scoop of ice cream is a vote for Canada.

[Trust In Trump 47🇺🇸 @Trustintrump47]

🚨 BREAKING: Ontario Premier Doug Ford just canceled Elon Musk’s Starlink contract and banned all U.S. companies from government contracts in response to Trump’s economic war with Canada.

“It’s done, it’s gone,” Ford said. “We won’t award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country.”

And just to be clear: “They only have President Trump to blame.”

So Trump starts a trade war, and now American businesses are getting locked out of Canada. This isn’t “tough negotiating”—this is our closest ally shutting the door on us while Trump pretends he’s “winning.”

MAGA wanted an economic war? Well, they just got one. And it’s American companies and workers who are about to feel the pain.

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

Trump: “WE DON’T NEED ANYTHING FROM CANADA.”

Trump (hours later): “Selfishly, we need aluminum in this country. We don’t have it. We get it all from Canada for the most part, and we need it badly.”

Holy fuck, it’s as if Trump has the mental capacity of a concussed goldfish.

STOP FLOCK. STOP AI MASS SURVEILLANCE.

Totalitarianism is when a government or another entity with overwhelming power seeks to know, control and influence everything you do, say and even think. I fear very much that if we don't act aggressively, that is where we’re heading.

You may not know it, but you may already be being tracked by artificial intelligence.

Flock, a surveillance company backed by Big Tech oligarchs like Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel, has installed more than 120,000 AI-powered surveillance cameras across America.

These AI cameras scan and record 20 BILLION vehicles every month across more than 6,000 communities.

What does that mean for you? It means that if Flock is in your community, every time you leave your house, a Flock camera records and tracks you.

If you are dropping your kids off at school, Flock knows.

If you are going to a doctor, Flock knows.

If you are going out on a date, Flock knows.

And that’s not all.

Newer Flock cameras do not just record vehicles. They record people. Flock’s AI system can combine images of you and your vehicle with databases of phone numbers, relatives and court records to find out who you are, where you're going and why.

In my view, this raises some very fundamental questions. Do we want to live in an America where AI companies like Flock can work with the government to track our every movement? Do we want to live in an America where our privacy rights and civil liberties — enshrined in the Constitution — are traded away so that AI oligarchs can collect more information, and increase their profits even more?

The answer must be NO. We cannot allow America to become a surveillance state where a handful of AI oligarchs profit by giving the government the power to track our every movement.

We must come together to stop Flock and AI mass surveillance. That is why I will soon be introducing legislation to do just that.

Fun fact

[TIME @TIME]

TIME’s new cover: Dolly Parton, the beloved country-music superstar, died in Nashville at 80.

Known for writing about the lives of working-class people in more than 3,000 recorded songs and later giving away nearly 300 million books to children around the world, Parton’s life was a true Cinderella story. https://t.co/9hT8kjv3S0

Imagination Library has 40k followers, but should have MORE. If you can't donate in Dolly's honor, then we could at least help grow the platform and its visibility by following.

If you have measles, get pneumonia as a complication of measles, and die - that's a measles death. Not a pneumonia death.

Imagine giving this violent thug shock gloves.

ICE attracts rapists, wife-beaters, pedophiles and psychopaths because these are the monsters Trump needs to manufacture fear.

This family did everything the right way. After a judge set their next hearing, masked agents tore Rubén Ortiz-López from his wife and sobbing daughter. Monica begged them not to hurt him. ICE supervisor Victor Mojica sneered “adiós,” hurled her across the hallway, slammed her into a wall, then threw her to the floor before her children.

If ICE can brutalize a family inside a courthouse while it follows the legal process, it’s already fascism. https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY helps immigrants and citizens know their rights, document abuse and expose agent’s lies.

This is not law enforcement. It’s authoritarian brutality.

-grocery/pharmaceuticals they buy
-insurance companies they use
-their banks
-their pension funds
-their work or research partners..
And chose an #ApartheidFree life

Canada is literally cooking Trump. 🤣🔥

Dolly Parton presenting Whitney Houston with the 1994 Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance for “I Will Always Love You.” Whitney’s version elevated Dolly as a songwriter. Dolly later used some of the royalties to invest in a predominantly Black Nashville neighborhood. RIP.
