The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

The Trump administration has begun firing several hundred Federal Aviation Administration employees, upending staff on a busy air travel weekend and just weeks after a January fatal mid-air collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

There’s been so much interest in from US 🇺🇸health workers and jobs in Canada that I’m posting recruitment links for all 10 provinces and 3 territories: 🧵 #healthcarejobs🇨🇦

Anyone who happened to know that the White House would announce and then suspend tariffs within 24 hours just made a boatload of money.

This isn’t going to go well. #TrumpsTariffs

Guerre commerciale : le Canada va contester les nouveaux droits de douane américains devant l'OMC

With American deregulation, you’d be nuts to buy American now. Don’t get sick, buy Canadian. 🇨🇦🍁

Here are the products that will be affected by Canada's Phase-One 25% tariff on Tuesday: www.canada.ca/en/departmen...

DYK? Since July 2022, the lag between COVID-19 symptom onset and a positive PCR test is 4.5-6.5 days. You might test positive earlier than 5 days after symptom onset, but it can be up to one week. That's PCR--with RATs you're even less likely to test positive within the first 5 days of symptoms.
