I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Everyone should know to avoid travel to the US by now but now we have to get business to realize this.
Don't endanger your employees, cancel business trips, meetings, everything.
There are nightmare stories of people being pulled out of airport lines and being dragged off to ICE Detention centres.
We are witnessing the implementation of "border fascism."
Beware snowbirds and backpackers, you have become the blood threat to White MAGA.

The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty.
The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean.
Sucks for Kentucky and California.

This isn't a trade war. This is Donald Trump trying to drag Canada into the massive political dumpster fire he started in Washington.
Canadians won't be bullied. We will remain: True. North. Strong Free.
Elbows up.

Here's my latest reflection on a lesson I learned from a woman who was in the second tower on 9/11.
When the world is turned upside down taking action is the only way to survive.
Our democracy is under threat but politicians are still living in 2024.

Trump is bragging that Canadians think so little of their own birth right that they are begging to join his gangster crew.
Looks like people in Canada aren't buying his bullshit.
The boycott is strong.
Do not spend one cent in America until the tyranny is gone.
Keep it up.

I bet those fentanyl smugglers are going to really think twice when they hear there's a czar standing at the border with his hands on his hips wearing what I assume will be a bejewelled robe of flowing flannel and comically-yet-terrifyingly oversized beaver fur hat.

Speaking on @meidastouch.bsky.social about what it means when Canadians "go over the boards".
It's a hockey thing: it means incurring major penalties, game misconducts, charges of unsportsmanlike behaviour but the other team will never dare mess with us again.

My Canadian Perspective on Donald Trump’s tariffs. It’s not about border security and fentanyl. It’s about him thinking he can take us over. We won’t let this happen and we can’t back down. We are Canada, our True North, strong and free!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

A boycott of American products should include Post Media and other American-owned media in Canada.

It's time to properly fund and expand the CBC, our public broadcaster, central forum of Canadian culture, and preserver of our history.

Premier David Eby has instructed all 29 Crown Agencies (BC Hydro, ICBC, LCB, etc) and all Ministires to buy Canadian Goods and Services First.

President Trump has essentially ripped up our Trade Agreement. This means we don’t need to abide by it either.

So what does this mean for BC?
