This is very sad - in Canada #insulin 3 vials of insulin costs $99 if don’t have a drug plan. Dr. Banting gave parent for free “gift of life” so people with #t1d can live .. and pharmas making money if this, shame on them! #insulin4all

The best team lost, I am gutted for them! Blue Jays never quit, put together one of the best post seasons in baseball history. Tough ending to an epic postseason run. They deserve all the love and respect across Canada. Thank you for the best World Series Blue Jays #WorldSeries

Totally fun to soak the Blue Jays atmosphere at Rogers Center, tried to see if we can get any tickets - I guess it doesn’t hurt. The atmosphere is infectious.. it was fun to hang out and hope we will be making history tonight. #WorldSeries #BlueJays

This is why we’re seeing cracks. Their bullshit propaganda blaming democrats isn’t working. By large margins.

New WaPo/ABC poll:

45% of Americans blame Trump and congressional Republicans for the shutdown. 33% blame Democrats.

By a 2-to-1 margin, Independents blame Trump and Republicans over Democrats: 46% to 23%.

Who is watching the 2nd longest games on World Series game? #bluejays

Let them come to the table. We can not be giving more concessions. He uses all of these tactics to maintain leverage over us and we have to stop. I am sure World Series is also on his childish mind. #canpoli #canpoli 2/2

Trump is never going to negotiate a Tarif deal with Canada. Feb it was the border & fentanyl. Then it was digital tax hissy fit now it’s the Regan Ad. We have to stop giving in - France and UK still have Digital tax on US. So let’s put it back. They need our steel and aluminum #tarif #canpoli 1/2

Ford should stay out of Municipal issues and stick to provincial politics. Speed camera's saves lives. I lived in Germany for 2 yrs, they have speed & red cameras everywhere and it stops people from speeding. #topoli #onpoli @cityoftoronto @oliviachow The Mayor should stand up!

What are you going to do to help small online Canadian retailers who will be severely harmed by the loss of the de minimis duty exemption, @mark-carney.bsky.social @liberalca.bsky.social !?

Most of Canada's retaliatory tariffs are gone. Now what? | CBC News

Retaliatory tariffs on most U.S. goods have now been removed, but the minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade says Ottawa isn’t yet on the verge of a deal with Washington.

We have mental health issues in Canada too but you don’t see mass shootings - the lastet shooting is pure evil - how can this happen over and over again? Thoughts and prayers are not enough - these parents need answers.

Key European leaders rallying around Zelensky, traveling with him to DC, is what leadership looks like.
