Trump is posting on Truth Social that he's terminating negotiations with Canada over a "fake" ad criticizing tariffs (that was run by Ontario, and which isn't fake.)
It's all theatre. There was never a deal to be gotten. Trump just wants to claim victory. #giftlink www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

My maintenance man always wears an n95 at my request.
“No need to thank me. You should feel safe in your home,” he says. Like it’s simple.

I wish my family, healthcare providers, etc felt the same way. Many won’t mask, even though they “love me” or “care about my health.”
