Trump admitted his January tariff threats against Canada were a favor to a wealthy friend who was trying to buy a private jet that wasn’t certified there.
Few people are more deeply committed to their countries and communities than Joshua Wong is to #HongKong and its people. The price he is paying for promoting democracy—hardly a foreign notion!—is brutal. His courage is breathtaking; his jailers’ cowardice is comparable.
Beijing’s unjust prosecution of Joshua Wong is an appalling abuse of power.
Everyone who truly cares about democracy should be proud to stand with him and the people of Hong Kong.
Advocacy for freedom is not a crime and the international community must immediately demand his release.
Joshua Wong, the former teenage activist who became a key leader of Hong Kong’s democracy movement, faces the prospect of many more years in prison after he pleaded guilty on Wednesday to the latest national security case brought by prosecutors

@JKBOGEN Angels organization needed a complete rebuild. Moreno was cheap at every level. Farm system, admin personnel, training and fitness, scouting, players, coaches and managers... you name it, we need to rebuild it.
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.
