Choosing to vacation in America during a trade war should be disqualifying for a Canadian politician right now -- especially one purporting to fight for Canada and against the separatists running her own party. And yet. #cdnpoli #abpoli

Canada has what the world wants. That’s why we’re modernising and expanding the Port of Vancouver. To boost and diversify our exports, create thousands of good jobs, and build a stronger, more independent Canadian economy.

As our president tries to paint Canada as an enemy during the 25th anniversary of 9/11, it might be a good time to see "Come From Away," the story of a small Canadians town embrace of Americans stuck there after the terror attack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af77...

Gander’s population nearly doubled for the next few days. In the face of this crisis, the townspeople came together and donated food, clothes, and shelter. What is remembered most often, is the emotional support the “plane people,” as they became known, received.
On 9/11 2001, the US closed its airspace after unfathomable terrorist attacks. Flights bound for the US were forced to divert, with many opting to land in Canada. Under Operation Yellow Ribbon, the small town of Gander, NL and the surrounding communities accepted 38 planes. buff.ly/Ugvm4vL

American friends, THIS is the kind of shit that Canadians will not forget. Even when your current leader leaves. Bullshit like this is why Canada is cutting America out of the loop. Out. Where it will stay, for generations.
If you Americans get tired of your stupid TV news pundits & their "gotchas" & want a different perspective, the CBC News YouTube channel gets you some good stuff. One of the best folks on there, who's SO good as "explainer in chief," is Andrew Chang in his "About That" segments.

Free speech is not “free from the consequences of things you say” - only protects you from government, who will, with some irony, be protecting this idiot. Just read the room, mate. It’s especially hard to miss the mood, so he’s provoking his neighbors as well. How utterly American of them.

It's all performative bullshit. The separators will get 20-23%. It's the same foot stomping morons from the trucker shitshow and the yellow vest idiots. It's a very loud and ignorant minority doing O&G's bidding.
Oh right apparently Alberta’s history only started in 1905. 🙄 Except Treaty 6 was signed in 1876. Treaty 7 in 1877. Treaty 8 in 1899. The Treaties came first. Alberta came later. Funny how that little detail keeps getting left out when it doesn’t fit the story.
