As a proud Canadian-owned and operated company, we want to do our part to support Canadians. As a family we have decided to absorb all immediate increases in our costs due to the Trump-tariffs for the rest of the year to maintain our prices. We will continue to reinforce our Canadian-first policies.

At least 40 people lost their lives over the weekend as storms ravaged the country.

Meanwhile, Trump & DOGE are planning to terminate over 1,000 employees from NOAA — the agency that provides essential severe weather forecasting and warnings.

What’s efficient about that?

I think this is correct.

Everyone involved in aviation KNOWS FOR SURE that reckless/ rampant changes of past six weeks will, *for sure,* make airplane crashes more likely.

But no airline exec wants to be the first to say this in public.
In boardrooms around the world, airline executives are discussing what will be more harmful to their share prices: sounding the alarm on this, or the inevitable plane crashes
Corrupt? Sure.

But also directly dangerous? And how!

FAA has done careful, long testing /study of new tower-communication system. Now a rush to switch to system that *just happens* to be owned by Mr. Efficiency himself, Elon. (Has he even been to an ATC facility? Probably like Vance re Ukraine)

We’re in this mess in large part bc the average American is uninformed about fundamentals of civics, history, basic biology, economics, etc, and media and the internet are not meeting the moment.

Is anyone organizing teach-ins or similar for the general public, whether irl or online?

Last year, law enforcement intercepted about 19 kilograms of fentanyl at the US-Canada border. At the southern border, agents seized 9,600 kilograms.

The idea that Canada is a major source of drugs is a lie, and this admin is hoping you’re stupid enough to believe it.
