“Pierre Poilievre can be tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries and the Canadian Gas Association. His inner circle is stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, and his campaign received major donations from oil industry insiders.” @taylornoakes.com

Aside from essential reasons (business, family, etc.), why would anyone travel to the United States at this time? Canada is a better country to visit.

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the members of the Canadian Armed Forces serving abroad.

While most Canadians gather with loved ones, they stand on guard — sacrificing time with their families to protect ours. Thank you for your service and dedication.

Innocent bystanders, my ass! I would be willing to bet any amount of money that most of the U.S. CEO's whining about lost business because of Canadian boycotts voted for Trump and the GOP. The expression, "be careful what you wish for," certainly applies here. And we're not buying your bullsh*t.

Hey @cnn.com

You think our boycott is due to 'bruised feelings'. Your #felon47 threatened our sovereignty and ended decades of mutually beneficial free trade.

Just wait & see if Canadians will ever forgive this.

NEVER FORGET: A few short weeks ago, a heartless Donald Trump told Bibi Netanyahu to "FINISH THE JOB" which would have meant certain death for all the hostages.

Now that Trump stands to make BILLIONS he's become the Peace President?!!! NO!!!! It does not work that way! The hypocrisy is NOT OK!!!

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.
