Checked in with (sailing) friends to let them know we made to Santa Marta Marina, Columbia He made the comment that we were probably safer here than we would be in the USA & how strange that was to say that. This is not normal

Yes!!! Nice to see Australia & Canada coming together like this www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

They just keep stooping to new lows

“Two officials, one from the European Union and one from Canada, with direct knowledge of the discussions said detailed talks were underway to incorporate Canada into the European Union’s new defense initiative.”

Proud to be a "nasty" Canadian! 🇨🇦 Elbows up 🇨🇦

GF museli from Austria DF yogurt from Brussels Coffee from Columbia Boycotting USA products can be challenging out here, especially for me, with so many allergies, but until something changes, we're committed to the process Don't support dictators or wanna be ones

All parties in Greenland's parliament have issued a statement condemning Trump's rhetoric: "We cannot accept the repeated statements about annexation and control of Greenland. As party leaders, we find this behavior unacceptable towards friends and allies in a defense alliance"

We must not normalize the insanity surrounding Trump’s territorial demands. Canada, Greenland, Panama etc. It’s all RIDICULOUS. But the naive and biased media take it seriously, egg him on and soon America will be at war with its allies. Meanwhile Russia will be given a pass in Ukraine. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Of course there's a difference

We've definitely noticed how warm the water is out here

He's right. We all need to speak out & continue to do so....

Shopping win, my food allergies make finding some food hard. Lots of USA brands, so I've been doing without. Today we found so many items from Europe & India, so freaking happy. I refuse to support this regime & those who support him by actions or silence Sorry to all those caught up in this BS

Not knowing who you will get & the unpredictability of everything is part of why we have gone to huge lengths not to sail in USA waters & won't support the "regime" Sick of other DT supporters who are fellow sailors that have been gaslighting us as Canadians for our stance

US weather forecasts save lives and money. Trump’s cuts put us all at risk, says former NOAA assistant secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yes!!!!

This is a post from Facebook This accurately captures how so many Canadians are feeling. This isn't funny, never was, never will be Please read in full 🇨🇦 Elbows up 🇨🇦

Chrétien responds to "that guy" It's nice to see Canadians united like never before. Elbows up Canada 🇨🇦 Elbows up! There's a link to the full speech on YouTube via the short. youtube.com/shorts/7D1MB...

Nope, never going to be American! Elbows Up! 🇨🇦

Dear 🇺🇸, Trump saying he wants to take over 🇨🇦 & inflict economic pain on us for his own good is a mix of economic warfare, expansionism, and narcissistic power grabbing. It’s the most appalling thing your nation could do to a peaceful people who fought alongside of you and have done nothing wrong.

The fact that he can circumvent the system as he has with his outright lies, shows how broken things are We knew from the start it was all bull & this is why we aren't taking it News Source: www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Yeah, whatever. Done playing this game. Maybe he's used to abusing others repeatedly to get his way, but he really underestimated Canadians

I look after roll call on a sailing whatsapp group. Some share random gifs or pics taken in a sailing area to prompt. As an artist, I've been sharing paintings with credit This one is Illusive Boats by Liubov Kuptsova, a Ukrainian artist 🇺🇦 I might share them here too to counter some of the ugly

What a POS Here's a link to the news article www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Lots of things to weigh one down... decided to make sushi

Things have soured, for sure. We need to band together & take this opportunity to become far less reliant on the USA, no matter what is said. It's done! Elbows up 'The relationship is broken’: Canadians respond to Trump’s tariffs www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

The USA does NOT subsidize Canada. This is not true and needs to be called out for the lie it is.

Our Mexican pumpkin 😂😂 Actually, it's a pepper We almost forgoed peppers then we saw they were from Mexico. I think the guy at the grocery store was humoured with our questions. He understood when I said we were from Canada 🇨🇦 Disappointed the BVIs haven't had more British items, though overall

“Canadians are reasonable and we are polite, but we will not back down from a fight, not when our country and the well being of everyone in it is at stake.” Comments by Justin Trudeau PM of Canada in reference to "Donald" & the trade war he started

LCBO website is down as they remove US products 😂 For those who don't know the LCBO is one of the largest buyers of alcohol. 🤔 Elbows up

+25% in the USA

Elbows up 🇨🇦 We got this. Canada is not for sale!

This is quite cool Thanks Neil Young 🇨🇦 www.citizentribune.com/news/nationa...

Because the USA is the victim 🙄 😂 Such lame excuses Bring it on, you gutless bully! Canada isn't for sale no matter how much you try to make us bend with your twisted narrative. (Sorry I can't hide the picture of "him") www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Fentanyl was just the excuse to say it was a national security risk & impose the tariffs. He's not going to stop, he's just going to continue to whinge. Canada isn't up for grabs. You can't have our resources either. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

The other day we swam near Marina Cays & noticed the jellyfish. They got all of us. Saturday, the itchy red welts appeared. I hope the turtles have a lovely feast to bring down that population 😂

Carrots from Canada in East End Tortola BVI's Very happy to have found Canadian carrots, we almost skipped them like we did the lettuce because we thought there were only American carrots available. Even out here, we're taking the trade war seriously

Thus anchorage was lovely yesterday..... Now the boat that can't get their anchor to set (tried at least 15 times) is dragging next to us.... 😂

The quiet anchorage we are at now has a big chatered catamaran "Valentine" (guests from ??) that cranked their music. Being the passive aggressive type, I've decided that side will be where I hang all the underwear as I do a little washing, as the rest of the crew is on shore. 😂
