Well said. 🍁
To all my American friends: We Canadians are well aware that there is only one person to blame for the trade war against our country - the Felon In Chief. We will fight because that is what we do, but our anger is not against you. Our bond will endure. 🇨🇦🫶🇺🇸

Hey Canada & Mexico, if you're listening:
Trump tells his cult that higher prices/pain, will be worth it in the long run. Don't back down! Make Trump eat those words! If he's going to destroy the United States, let him do it. I hate to say this, but you can survive without us.

Trudeau: I think Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us.

I don’t think there are a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, "Oh, damn Canada. Oh, we should really go after Canada."

Yup!
I’ve got to agree with the Wall Street Journal editorial board this time.

Trump added a clause that if Canada retaliates, the tariff's will increase. America has a lunatic at the helm!!

How did it come to this? These tariffs are going to hurt everyone and perhaps send both our countries into recession.

As a Canadian currently at our Arizona vacation home, I’m not sure if I’ve ever felt this troubled. My Canadian firm was acquired by a US firm back in 2011. Whether Canadian or American, we all worked together. I never dreamt that today would ever happen. This is economic warfare.

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person.

Now we gotta worry if the air traffic controller was Black?!

Do you see how far they have moved the window?

Trump is now speaking in NC after meeting with Helene survivors. Franklin Graham is standing behind him. If there is one, I would like a word with God about the creation of these two.

Happy Friday! Question: with 3 1/2 days in is it as bad as you thought it was going to be or is it worse? #SecondTerm

My Godmother was transgender.

She used to sing in Atlantic City.

When I was young I had a lot of terrible shit happen to me and she took me in for six months, showing me love and normalcy during a time I needed it.

It's important to me that during a time of fear, "allies" aren't adding to it.
This is the type of shit I've been posting about.

Trump has ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research.

Canada is ready to take on US president-elect Donald Trump and levy countermeasures immediately, should the incoming commander-in-chief follow through with his threat to impose punishing tariffs on all Canadian imports, day one.

Three days until Donald Trump’s inauguration.

It’s not just that he does bad things. It’s also that he’s bad at being president.

He’ll start betraying his promise, and his oath of office, the minute he’s sworn in. 🧵
