Hey Jamil, I say this to offer some constructive criticism.
Learn the difference between having an American as an employee, as Carney does, and having one as a boss, as you do.
Trump talks toughest to America's allies—and most carefully to America's adversaries. Canada gets tariffs and insults. Zelensky gets public humiliation. Putin gets deference. Xi gets an off-ramp. That's not "America First." It's bullying the people least likely to hit back. Because at his core, Trump is weak and scared. (link in reply)
Nor should it. The economies of the western world shouldn't depend on the whims of 50,000 morons in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania every four years.
Americans criticizing Canada for not being able to control 1 billion acres of forrest when they can't even control their own lettuce supply from giving themselves explosive diarrhea.
Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
I live in Northwestern Ontario. Right now, the Boreal forest is burning.
I'm writing this beneath the dark orange plume from the Quetico wildfires.
These are some of the reports coming out as communities fight to survive:
"No fire crews left for new fires."
"We had no warning."
Families are self-evacuating by private boat across lakes because they didn't receive evacuation information. They're fleeing towering flames with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
This is unacceptable in a province as wealthy as Ontario.
I'm calling out Doug Ford. His government has underfunded Ontario's wildfire management capacity by tens of millions of dollars.
@fordnation you want our Ring of Fire, our water, our forests. You want to store nuclear waste in our bedrock and run an oil pipeline through our watersheds.
But you won't work with northern communities. You make decisions for us without us, and then fail to provide the basic public services we PAY FOR and rely on: wildfire protection, health care, education, safe highways and social services.
Northern Ontario deserves better than this feckless leadership.

During the early days of the Iran war, the U.S. needed help evacuating its citizens from the Gulf — so American diplomats called Canada.
And despite Trump’s tariffs and his repeated talk of making Canada the “51st state,” the Canadian embassy “did not hesitate. The answer was an immediate yes.”
This should send shockwaves through the defense industry in America and our allies overseas. It says, in so many words, unless you politically agree with Donald Trump, you can be cut off from US weapons and spare parts. Ridiculous own goal.
I’m going to say what everyone is too scared to say.
Canada is under attack. Not with missiles. With data. With money. With useful idiots waving provincial flags while American operatives pull the strings from Michigan boardrooms.
3 million Albertans doxxed. The US Ambassador’s fingerprints on the weapon. UCP insiders in the room watching it happen. Trump officials holding secret meetings about carving up this country like it’s a real estate deal. Because to them? IT IS.
Trump said it himself. 51st state. He wasn’t joking. He never jokes.
And while all of this is happening, @PierrePoilievre , the man who wants to lead this country, is hiding under his desk hoping nobody asks him which side he’s on. PIERRE.
The guy who built his entire career screaming about government overreach can’t find his voice when a foreign government is actively funding the dismemberment of Canada?
What do you know, Pierre? What are you afraid of?
Because here’s what I see. A movement that appeared out of nowhere. Fully funded. Fully organized. With American tech. American strategy. American money. And an American ambassador running interference in plain sight.
This isn’t Alberta vs Ottawa.
This is foreign acquisition.
They’re not trying to free Alberta.
They’re trying to own it.
The oil. The land. The leverage.
And some of our own politicians are either too compromised, too cowardly, or too bought to stop it.
Canada is not for sale.

@gaussie@THFCBurner@GregAbbott_TX@W_0_0_F_Y@CommunityNotes Because they have the facilities to process raw cotton into wearable/usable consumer goods. America does not have the same capacity. Meaning they get all the added value in processing the raw materials. 💸
