Liberation Day in France is June 6th. But Canadians didn't celebrate until the job was done. The criminal from Mar-A-Lago is selling his bogus "Liberation" Day. Lol. Canadians have another job to do. We will celebrate when Donald is done. And we will still be standing. True. North. Strong. Free.

4th candidate now dropped from #CPC in #Elxn2025. Modi’s #BJP helped install #PierrePoilievre as CPC party leader, so I can’t say it’s a shocker that this level of corruption appears in multiple places in this anti-democracy extremist party. #NeverVoteConservative #cdnpoli #StopPoilievre #ElbowsUp

‘“He wants the society of the 1950s with the policies of the 1890s. But you literally don’t get the society of the 1950s without a comprehensive rejection of the policies of the 1890s, even by Republicans,” he said.’ #LiberationDay #tariffs www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-mcki...

Trump once again falsely claims that the US trade deficit with Canada stands at $200bn annually. Overall deficit closer to $60bn with Canada, and that's entirely driven by crude. Absent oil, US has maintained a steady trade SURPLUS with Canada.
