Incredibly, in his abrupt reversal on trade policy, Trump seemingly just *increased* tariffs on Mexico and Canada to 10%. Until today, the U.S. has only had 25% tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminium, and autos, plus 10% on energy and potash. (With the caveat that it's 0% for USMCA-compliant trade.)

MMR vaccine can be administered for up to three days after a measles exposure to reduce the risk of severe disease and hospitalization. Immunoglobulin can have a similar effect up to 6 days post-exposure. I’ve seen nothing from RFK Jr. about these key strategies.

Canadians are coming together to prevent American style politics from coming into our country. As it may take time to replace your sign, we urge each of you to support this goal in a different way: Fly a Canadian flag and send the message that we are #CanadaStrong. #FanjoyVsPoilievre

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: "If the United States no longer wants to lead, Canada will." This is what real leadership looks like.

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

Just pointing out the obvious… getting your security clearance and knowing what you can and can’t say is putting “Canada First” — unlike demanding no accountability like a toddler. Sometimes it means saying what you need to, not everything you want to.

If he can’t handle the security clearance he can’t handle the job.

It’s not a trade war; it is a destabilization campaign. The erratic swings in trade policy are not a bug, they’re a feature. There is method to this madness: it is a tactic known as controlled chaos. palecek.substack.com/p/its-not-a-... #cdnpoli

Canada’s challenges with the U.S. aren’t just about Trump—they’re about America itself. This isn’t a temporary issue tied to one leader; it’s a systemic shift, and it’s not changing anytime soon. Trump or no Trump, the reality is clear: history has set its course. This is the new America.

I’m tired of listening to CBC National News repeating the White House’s talking points without telling us they are false claims. It’s their job to tell us the truth, not repeat the lies.

Part of me says “Trump is a four year problem” but a part of me says Vance and ilk are young enough to be a much longer term problem: they are supported by a large % of Americans. Canada needs to massively invest in arctic defense, reduce roadblocks to interprovincial trade & ramp up our military.

Not going to lie, NOT seeing this level of angst from the US just tells me they aren’t really against Trump enough to really take a stand against him. Which is disappointing. Agreement or apathy look really the same to outsiders.
