14 years ago we brought Sophie and Snoopy (~1-2yrs) into our lives. Last August Sophie succumbed to cancer; yesterday Snoopy just got old. Our home feels very empty right now.

200% tariffs on alcohol from the EU?
Looks like in addition to the bottle of Canadian wine I’ll be buying tomorrow to support my own country, I’ll be buying a second bottle of Italian wine to support our allies abroad. 🇨🇦🇪🇺

Super important reminder to ALL of us:
Carney cannot single-handedly save Canada.
He can lead. He can build bridges for new partnerships.
All Canadians are going to have to tighten our skates and get at it together.
United we stand. We will not divide. We will not fall. Elbows up. #cdnpoli

🇨🇦 Retail blackout: Feb 28 🚨 The CanuckYou.ca list currently features US brands to *avoid*. Maybe that's not the nicest way to promote Canadian, but we're all past the point of being nice.
Contribute US brands to avoid before Friday, and we'll get them into the list before the blackout! #CanuckYou

Great great summary here.
IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

This is kinda out in left, but I saw a quote earlier that Europe was really not thrilled having US national and international policies decided by a few thousand people in the US rust belt.
