So now, they're coercing Canada into buying their planes or no trade talk 🤬

On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we honor our trans siblings lost to fatal violence and their impact.
We will not stop fighting until trans people are not just able to survive, but thrive and live safe, full, and joyful lives. May our collective grief, reflection, and action lead to a better future.

Well, our current #Liberal government survived the confidence vote by the skin of their teeth.
The #NDP better get their 💩together, because right now, I trust them as far as I can throw myself. Work with the Liberals to build up Canada instead of playing stupid games.

Also, don't make presumptions about any kind of landslide. GO OUT AND VOTE. Then, hold those accountable for the waste of taxpayers money.

“50% of Conservatives approve of Donald Trump. Given his administration’s actions to undermine women’s reproductive rights, minority rights and democratic institutions, this is indicative of the policies they’d favour if the Conservatives were in power.”

Opinion: Doug Ford's Reagan ad sours U.S.-Canada relations

Everyone unable to get Blue Jays WS tickets & then got shocked at the resell prices. Remember that here in On we used to have a law that limited reselling to a max of 50% extra of the printed price. Doug Ford happened & he got rid of that law. The resell nightmare is all his fault

Carney was in a lose-lose situation. If He hadn't shelved the digital tax, it meant no trade talk & further tariffs. Which would make life even worse for those in industries who are directly affected.
