When I’ve “Crossed the finish line” I want a closed casket funeral. At the end of the service I want the organ player to play “Pop Goes the Weasel” over and over until everyone is staring at the coffin in horrified anticipation.😉

While some may see it as a negotiation tactic; others may see it as market manipulation.

I wonder who’ll benefit?

Working Americans?

Not likely.

Sooner or later the remaining 95% of the global population will realize access to the American marketplace just isn’t worth the cost.

It a good thing Ana has a social media presence to show how in tune the Poilievre’s are with working Canadians.

We may remember how her husband Skippy demonstrated his understanding and empathy for working Canadians.

A reminder…

If it keeps her from publicly speaking campaigning on her husbands behalf?

Meh; I can live with that.

If she’s using taxpayer funded property in the course of business then maybe her business financials should be public record too (and the value of the space used included as revenue)…
