ICYMI - still thinking about my pod conversation with international trade expert Eric Miller. Is the Canada/US relationship broken? It's no secret I'm not a fan of the Trump administration - but I'd rather have TDS than join the MAGA cult. Listen or watch pod here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKcw...

Lynda Steele 🇨🇦@steeletalks.bsky.social · 2w agoIs the Canada/US relationship broken? Will we ever be able to trust them to negotiate fairly and keep their word when it comes to current & future trade deals? Trade expert Eric Miller joins me with the cold, hard truth on a new episode of Change My Mind. www.youtube.com/@changemymin...

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 3w agoHoo boy. This is getting ugly. And somehow even more embarrassing. Trump Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is now publicly feuding with Trump’s own Justice Department to keep alive the lies that an innocent former Olympian vandalized the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
