🍁A lot of economists that had expected a sharp economic downturn for Canada are saying that increased domestic demand has at least blunted the effects of US tarrifs.

That's you and I making a choice to support our fellow Canadians by buying Canadian goods and avoiding US goods. We need to keep that momentum going and become radically buy local consumers. #ElbowsUp #Canada

Absolutely nothing Canada could have done to avoid being hit with additional 10 percent tariffs today. Former US President Reagan was right that expanding trade is the only solution to promote economic success for all. The 1987 speech by the President was real and fully stated his views on free trade.

The president, according to NPR, has moved ahead with his $250 million idea without consent from the National Capital Planning Commission, which approves major renovations to federal buildings in the Washington, D.C., area. The commission is closed due to the federal shutdown, according to its website.

(Hey, amazing what they can do when they've got the government closed. Will they ever reopen?)

Canadians have been going on about #PeteHoekstra for some time, now, and that's not the only offensive and propagandist thing that xe has said.

The one commentator I saw a month ago who explicitly called out Hoekstra's false conflation of #MeToo and #ElbowsUp was the same one who has pointed out that every time that Hoekstra opens xyr mouth a fresh impetus is given to the #BoycottUSA movement.

Ok, this is gross and everything, but seriously, why did it take until late 2025 for people to leak these chats?

#ICE isn’t just a gestapo. it’s a terrorist militia.

@GeePawHill Another Great Coal Mining Song that's close to my heart: Coal Town Road by the Barra McNeils.

I have loved this song for dog's years and it still gives me goose bumps every single time.

When I first heard the matador line, my thought was that he's a guy with a red cape, but the real power is the bull.

Not him.

Here's an even worse scenario.

The "#AI" companies are saved by financial support from the Department Of War, and are repurposed into propaganda generators in the war to annex #Canada and #Greenland.

Notice that #PeteHoekstra has already been pushing the line on Canadian telly that #Canada is an "anti-American" aggressor that started this.

And if the emergency meeting is about pulling staff from the Indo-Pacific closer to home …

Ooo, I've been itching to give this speech for ages. WHY is Canada relying on US Homeland Security to approve Verified Travellers in Canada? Why are we contracting out to a country that discriminates against trans, 2 spirit, gender nonbinary and intersex Canadians and doesn't provide service in French. Here is my RANT calling for the creation of a made-in-Canada verified traveller program, without American oversight. Time to patriate airport security, and give all Canadians the right to apply for life in the fast lane. https://youtu.be/yInsw13pkI4?si=c41OK4OqGq9gGmHv #Canada #SenateofCanada #NEXUS #HomelandSecurity #ElbowsUp https://youtu.be/yInsw13pkI4?si=c41OK4OqGq9gGmHv

@sjvn
How do we push politicians to do something similar in Canada?
