Former PM Jean Chrétien: #cdnpoli - If we’re going to have to stand on our own, we need to hit him where it hurts - when he excludes energy, oil, gas, and potash from his tariffs it’s because he needs them. - the advantage of export taxes is that they pay for them, not us.

I’d just like to remind my fellow Canadians - we are in an ECONOMIC war right now. We are not being called to physically fight for our country - but we ARE called to make patriotic economic choices. BUY CANADIAN! Read labels at the stores! Drop Amazon. It’s not glamorous, but it is NECESSARY.

Here’s a simple checklist for what’s still in YOUR hands, Canada.

Square infographic with a faint red maple leaf background. The headline reads, “GUARD: A Personal Checklist for Protecting Canada’s Sovereignty,” credited to Tod Maffin, FarAndWide.news. Five boxed lines spell out the acronym GUARD: “G, get serious about your next vote” with a ballot box icon; “U, unplug from outrage platforms” with a smartphone icon; “A, anchor your spending in Canada” with a Canadian flag icon; “R, reinforce independent Canadian media” with a newspaper icon; and “D, distinguish people from their regimes” with two human silhouettes. Red and white colour scheme throughout.

It’s never been clearer that we need to support independent Canadian media. Hope my Starter Pack can help:

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

We had one idea: Canadian social infrastructure should be Canadian-owned, Canadian-hosted, and built around Canadian culture. 🇨🇦 So we built it. It is live, it is real, and the door is open. What are you waiting for? - EH! Canada’s Social Network ❤️
