We’re not changing it.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

We’re buying Canadian, and we’re building Canadian.

[Prime Minister of Canada @CanadianPM]

From China to Qatar to #WEF26 in Davos, Prime Minister Carney advanced Canada’s economic and strategic interests – strengthening partnerships, diversifying trade, and attracting investment to support good jobs and long-term growth for Canadians.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Canada thrives because we are Canadian.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Good to have you back.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

BREAKING: Justin Trudeau is specifically asked if he believes that Trump's tariffs are an Act of War.

His answer is tremendous.

"Canadians are not angry at the American people for this. We don’t have anything against Americans. Americans are our neighbors, our friends, our partners. We do things together, we’ve done things together for decades and generations. This is a policy decision by the American government (Donald Trump), designed to go after the Canadian economy. This is a trade war — yes. But Canadians are hurt, Canadians are angry. We’re going to choose to not go on vacation to Florida or Old Orchard Beach or wherever. We’re gonna choose to try to buy Canadian products and forgo bourbon and other classic American products. We’re probably going to continue booing the American National Anthem. But let me tell Americans — we’re not booing you, we’re not booing your teams, we’re not booing your players -- we’re booing a policy that is designed to hurt us."

How can anyone view Trump as the good guy in this Trade war?

@doctorjenn @drbrianhope In one year, I had an ectopic pregnancy (emergency surgery) and then a miscarriage before getting pregnant with my son. In early days of that pregnancy, doc suspected possible partial molar (thankfully not). So, yes. Happens.

When they said “History repeats itself,” I wasn’t expecting all of the twentieth century in two years.

@BarbStegemann @Sephora Congratulations on the launch, Barb! Can’t wait to try it out.

@ReporterTeresa Maxime Bernier is vile. He knows exactly what tweets like this can do but he doesn't care. Try not to give him a second thought, Teresa. The vast majority of voters certainly don't.

Hello. Here is a complete list of everything that can be compared to the Holocaust:

That’s it. That’s the list.

Stop using our personal, familial, and national trauma for your petty political games.

1/ Lots of interest in data re: #COVID19 hospital admission of kids, but what story does data tell us? Here’s our view. First, here’s our data: https://t.co/bCJRmASvvt

I’ve seen a lot of Covid in the ER recently.

With so many people getting infected recently, some folks may wonder what’s the point of getting vaccinated at all?

And is there really any value to a booster dose if I’ve had two Pfizer/Moderna or a shot of J&J?

My observations: 🧵

[Brittlestar @brittlestar]

A reminder…

- As of yesterday, 73% of all Cdns are fully vaccinated

- Leaving around 27% not yet fully vaccinated

- Minus under 12yrs old (about 10%) and your left with likely less than 17% who are actually eligible to be vaccinated but haven’t yet

Yeah… We’re not “divided”

[David Juurlink @DavidJuurlink]

Worthwhile addendum:

The 50 vaccinated people in ICU? Likely older, with other illnesses, maybe impaired immunity.

The 50 unvaccinated? Likely in their 30s, 40s, 50s. Maybe carrying some extra weight but otherwise healthy. Just listened to the wrong people.
