I wonder if I can bank with VanCity and not have it be a big hassle if I'm in Alberta. No other banks or credit unions seem to want to be transparent about their investments.

Good to confirm US remains a hostile nation to Canada.
CANADIAN REPORTER: Trump's tone on Canada has shifted. He stopped talking about Canada becoming the 51st state.
LEAVITT: I would reject that the president's position on Canada has shifted. Perhaps he just hasn't been asked about it. He believes Canadians would benefit from becoming the 51st state.

I'm no Conservative, but I just spent 15 minutes trying to locate this quote in a reliable source. Can you tell me where it was said and where it was reported? Can't be too sure these days.
So important to vote, and to vote strategically.

When choosing Canadian products, you might notice terms like “Made in Canada,” “Product of Canada,” or “Designed in Canada” on the labels. These phrases carry specific legal meanings in Canada, and understanding them can help you make informed decisions about the products you trust.
