Excuse the this above…
We will see if Americans who value their freedom have any fight in them.

Awareness is first. Second is organization. Third is the fight.

If the same psychology types are selling/buying all of
a) anti-vax
b) Trump tariffs
c) Russian propaganda on Ukraine
and
d) cryptocurrency
... that adds up to a warning surely that the sellers are charlatans and the buyers are fools?

You need a leader, a strategy, and follow through.

It’s weakening. Trump has scared some Canadians into sanity. But we can’t let our guard down.

We want Americans to speak to their representatives. We want Americans to know the harm done is all Trump.

Cancelled a short trip to watch the Bluejays this year in US. Will travel to Toronto instead. Winter vacation is in Mexico via a Canadian airline

Canada doesn’t want this trade war. Americans need to realize the rising costs are caused by Trump and they need to contact their representatives.

“…it will have…consequences for you, the American people. Tariffs against Canada will put your jobs at risk, potentially shutting down American auto assembly plants and other manufacturing plants. They will raise costs for you, including food at the grocery stores and gas at the pump.” (Trudeau)

Can we ban X, truth social and Starlink, as well?

They were playing with fire. They believed they could achieve their goals and “own the libs” while controlling Trump. There is no sympathy for arsonists.

I’ll refrain from commenting on Americans’ gullibility or naïveté. For the rest of the remaining democratic nations…It can’t happen here”, until it does.

Unfortunately, Canadians and others suffer, as well. I can only hope the malignant MAGA values can be abated in Canada.

Such a classless president.

The problem is he will twist it to blame others on social media and some media will not accurately point fingers or they will be complicit. The messaging is the problem to be solved

It will be many generations before people “get over” Musk’s hate and consequences. He will be remembered for his cruelty and greed.

“Vance added that there is "a little bit of a gray area there," though he didn't immediately explain what acts or charges that could include.”
And where does inciting violence fall?

What will the Liberal Party do about these campaigns of hate and rage farming? Correcting misinformation is helpful, but once the strong negative perceptions are created they are difficult to change.

Facts matter little to many Conservative voters. They respond to slogans, attack ads and misinformation. Democrats learned this the hard way.

I am very thankful for Trudeau keeping Canadians safe and afloat during the COVID crisis (among other kudos). It is during a crisis the actions of a leader reveal their worth.

The media should ask Poilievre if he will focus more on his proposed policies and less on attacks now that Trudeau has resigned.

And Conservatives convince the people who need those programs the most to vote for them. Liberals and NDP need to combat perceptions and misinformation more effectively.
