This is the kind of courage that is embarrassingly absent in the ranks of U.S. Republican lawmakers
One can only hope that the brave few who *have* spoken out will soon be joined by others...before it's too late
Because I'm shocked at the pace with which things are getting out of hand in the States

LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff

DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

👍 Seattle!
Love the huge banner "We The People...
Very effective!
More of that next time everyone!
Heck, I'd make banners for other founding documents, as well as some of the Amendments that are under threat

I will join Deana Sumanac-Johnson on CBC News Network 5ish ET to discuss Stellantis' terrible decision to bow down to Trump, shifting production of a new Jeep from Brampton to Illinois. Ottawa must draw a line in the sand on this, or other companies will follow suit. #canlab #cdnecon
