Canada is the filling of an Oreo cookie

Trump’s national security document is being praised by Russian interests

Thing is - the US govt has seen Canada as a buffer and vassal state since WW2

Trump just put the quiet part it in black n white

The #US is now an enemy of the free world. Why would we commit to buying bricks when drones cost a fraction of the price and are substantially more effective? #Cdnpoli #USpoli
It’s not just about jobs, it’s also about the US ability to brick the planes by refusing program updates.

Let's be VERY concerned about this. Will the world endorse a plan to break up the United States, much the same way #Felon47 and the #GOP have proposed an end to Europe? What should Canada do in all of this? Is this Trump or #Project2025 psychopaths? #Cdnpoli #USpoli globalnews.ca/news/1156363...

How we should describe #CanadaPost. If not, we should say 'Department of Defence lost another $60 billion this year ...' #Cdnpoli #USpoli
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

This kind of narrating makes me a little bonkers.
1) It'll just give the CPC something to whine about
2) They need to compare to int'l prices
4) It 'warms' Canadians to the idea that conglomerates are going to pump prices.
ASK WHY and WHO is behind the price increase.

Ontario’s education minister is hiring two advisors at $1,500 a day to review why EQAO results aren’t improving. Critics say the answer is obvious: “we don’t need people making $1,500 a day to tell us scores are down because the government cut funding by $1,500 a student.” #cdnpoli
