Calling all Canadians!! 🇨🇦 The U.S. 🇺🇲 gov't has shown it is no longer our friend or ally. Let us be like the Swiss, and train ourselves to learn self-defence and survival. Someday we may all have to participate in our nation's defence.
The trade war with Canada makes no economic sense. And most Americans agree. Polling shows they see Canadians as close allies, oppose the tariffs against them, and are actually cheering on Canadian retaliation. https://youtu.be/h8Fvnl0l7_8
Trump doesn't know what he's talking about. Bombardier workers are based all over the U.S., w/direct employment in 20+ states and sites in 10, including CA, TX and AZ. Its aircraft are built w/American-made components such as engines, avionics and many key systems provided by American companies.
Sounds more like Sapporo and Sleeman are staying put in Canada, not relocating to the U.S. except for 0.5% of Canadian production in non-alcoholic beer...🤨 Wow, what a coup for the Americans.
Sapporo says moving zero-proof process to U.S. from Canada ‘not finalized’ - National | Globalnews.ca
The company is considering moving production of its non-alcoholic beer to American breweries, but says 99.5 per cent of its Canadian production is staying put.

🇨🇦The Wicked Wit-ch of the North@viridiandragon.bsky.social · 2d agoJust shy of 268,000. Someone who is not me should put the petition on Facebook. (It would be sooooo funny if someone actually advertised it on FB. 🤣🤣)
Fine. No oil or gas for America 🇺🇸 unless it's refined here in Canada 🇨🇦. What? That's not fair? 😈
Trump says Bombardier can't sell in U.S. unless Canada aerospace giant builds there
Trump's announcement comes on the eve of Canadian retaliatory tariffs set to take effect Tuesday on $20 billion of U.S. goods.

'Canada is simply further down the road we’re on, and they’re sending back postcards stamped “Go Fuck Yourself Kindly Please”.' Thank you, Aus! 🇨🇦❤️🇦🇺 (And thank for using CUSMA, the proper name for the Canada, U S., Mexico Agreement, and none of this USMCA garbage that Trump insists on.)
I STAND WITH CANADA, AND SO DOES EVERY FUCKING AUSSIE
The bloke who called it the greatest trade deal ever made is now tariffing it to death. An angry Australian explains why that's our fight too.

The US imports 8x more Canadian oil than from any other country. And we're a "little yipping dog" he's threatening with murder!?! Just wait till the Polar Mamas move south. We eat Grizzly Mamas and Presidents for breakfast!
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3d agoMost American have zero interest in the US government treating one of our most important historical allies and trading partners like this. But the worst among us is running the country, thanks to the worst and most irresponsible voters among us.
Pete Hegseth has NO IDEA what Canadians are made of. A U.S. commander in Afghanistan picked JTF2 over Delta Force for the highest risk missions. His decision was based on observed professionalism, discipline, competence. JTF2 had 100% success, at times without firing a shot. "Deeds Not Words."
🇨🇦 Canadian Self-defence League@canadiandefence.bsky.social · 4d agoI could think of a few great missions for JTF2... 😈🇨🇦💪
"[W]eaponized interdependence is everywhere: Iran attempting to force the United States to call off its war by closing the Strait of Hormuz, China threatening the West with a cutoff of rare earths, the Trump administration using the threat of tariffs to pressure Canada to...become the 51st state?" 🇨🇦
Weaponized Interdependence
Who has the power in a trading world?

"Canada’s status as a ‘mining nation’ might be better described as ‘mining territory’ for the larger American security economy." They want us as a bloody vassal state!
Canada turns its critical minerals into leverage against Trump
As the trade war escalates, Ottawa is signaling less interest in sharing with the U.S.

"[Apple] told Reuters that U.S. users will see Lake America on its map, while users in Canada will continue to see Lake Ontario. Users in the rest of the world will see both names." Apple, you cowardly, sniveling bootlickers! MapQuest takes the crown for their lake-naming tool 🤣🤣🤣
MapQuest tops Apple App Store after refusing to change Lake Ontario to "Lake America"
MapQuest topped ChatGPT as Apple's most-downloaded free app after the digital mapping company said it would keep "historical, familiar" lake names.

🇨🇦 If this is real, then I'm proud and grateful for the service of those two young women. Pete Hegseth can suck on this: 🖕💋
If women want to support Canada's armed forces, this is a good place to start. #CanadaStrong #NationalDefence #volunteers In addition to expanding our regular forces, Canada is looking at training 300,000 civilians in support roles. www.canada.ca/en/departmen...

🇨🇦 Canadian Self-defence League@canadiandefence.bsky.social · last wk.Teachers in Ontario can only purchase their supplies at Staples, an American company. Good work, Dougie. Bring that money HOME!
Otherwise recruit for the CAF – they mentioned training 300,000 Canadian civilians – skills, coordination, strategy, assignments - query Minister of Defence
Dear Donald Trump, Congratulations. You have united Canadians young & old. We are training like never before for your next visit! Be prepared for this 👇 "welcome" should you ever set foot on Canadian soil. Sincerely, Proud 🇨🇦 CANADIAN citizens
DeniseSF5 🇨🇦*🇺🇦*🇩🇪@denisesf5.bsky.social · last wk.Fuck yea! I'm 66 and getting my firearm license for the first time in my life. I will let the professionals deal with the military, but if someone comes onto my lawn with a MAGA hat, they'll be kissing their ass goodbye before they reach the front step. 🖕🏻
👇 For all you civil resisters out there (Americans! I'm looking 👀 at you)

They were spot on. This was The New York Times Sunday Opinion section on October 27, 2024.

🇨🇦 👊🇨🇦@sorry-iamcanadian.bsky.social · last wk.“Ontario's new subway cars are being built by a Japanese company in Maryland…A $140 million contract at the new Peter Gilgan Hospital went to a U.S. company. Every elementary teacher's $750 classroom supply card can only be spent through American-owned Staples..” Petition in the link below.
Real world data clearly shows this isnt happening. It shows many companies have fled the US for countries with more stable trading platforms. Examples are GMs massive 1.1 billion dollar expansion in Canada and CLAAS, a large farm equipment company has returned to Germany. The mass exodus has begun.
264,000. Come on Canada! 🇨🇦 You can do it!
🇨🇦The Wicked Wit-ch of the North@viridiandragon.bsky.social · 3w agoI don't really think Canada will send Hoekstra packing, but if this gets to a million signatures, I will laugh myself into the psychiatric ward. So please sign and increase my everlasting joy! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
Bahahahaha!! We're so getting to him. Keep it up, Canada! 🇨🇦
SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)
