This is what we’ve been doing in Canada. Boycott it all. Calling stores, corporate offices & asking why they aren’t doing anything, telling them why we won’t buy their products. If a business is making zero effort in the buy Canadian movement/elusive/lying about product origin…we shop elsewhere.

Just sent the government my accomplishments

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social There is nothing to be “thoughtful” about a threat to the sovereignty of Canada! The only answer is NEVER!! 😡 Do better, Ian and CBC. Do not bend the knee.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

Wow…just felt an earthquake!

Remember when team USA beat the Soviets in the 80s? Canada just had that moment and the US were the Soviets this time. Congratulations Canada 🍁

Does USA now become the 11th province?

Trump’s vicious attack on President Zelenskyy is an attack on democracy. Zelenskyy has shown the world what heroism.Trump is a convicted pervert and felon. Trump and Putin are gangsters. We are now in a global fight to defend the democratic order. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRsf...

Dear teachers: If you need to take a day off to stare into the abyss, scroll TikTok, and/or eat Thin Mints for 8 hour straight so you don't lose your mind or cool: Do it. And don't let anybody make you feel bad about it. Nobody wants your job. 💛

We did not pick this tariff fight, but as proud Canadians we will stand up for our country. We will never be the 51st state. Not now. Not ever.

75 years of diplomacy, hard work and a commitment to liberal democracy has just been flushed down the toilet by Trump, Vance and their MAGA idiots. Here is my final dispatch from the NATO meetings: Where Canada and Europe goes from here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

This past week in Munich, and over the past 24 hours, we have learned the alarming truth: that the United States is no longer an ally to Ukraine – or to the Baltic countries, or, for that matter, to Canada. open.substack.com/pub/heatherm...

At the NATO meeting a loud US republican saw my CDN flag pin on my lapel and reached for it saying, "Hey Canada." I stopped him. "Don't touch the Canadian flag." "Just joking," he said. "You'll die before you touch our flag," I said, "not joking." He scrambled out of there. #notfuckingaround

History teachers who make us think critically are worth their weight in gold. Critical thinking matters so much more than the results of a test. 🧵⬇️

Wow. This post from a Ukrainian soldier says it all.

Happy Family Day from our family to yours! ❤️🇨🇦❤️

Thank you for standing up and saying what needs to be said, @charlieangus104.bsky.social ! 🇨🇦

Canada has never been more united

Here's my latest reflection on a lesson I learned from a woman who was in the second tower on 9/11. When the world is turned upside down taking action is the only way to survive. Our democracy is under threat but politicians are still living in 2024. charlieangus.substack.com/p/no-return-...

Happy 60th Flag Day, Canada! True North Strong and Free!!

There is something powerful in the air today. You can see it in communities across the nation. People wrapped in red & white. You'll hear it in every coffee shop, park and home. We are standing strong and ready to face whatever comes our way. Happy flag day 🇨🇦

Ron Howard FTW 🎯

My great-grandfather was a medic in WW1 who was moved up to sniper because he was such a good shot. He didn’t back down. He eventually lost his life defending our freedom. 🇨🇦

Trump isn't just a threat to our economy he is threat to democracies everywhere. Under his reign, we can no longer trust the USA. Shop local, buy Canadian. The resistance starts at the grassroots. We have kick ass beer, kick ass coffee and kick ass people. www.villagereport.ca/village-pick...
