πŸ“£ When it comes time to vote in the upcoming Canadian πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ election, I'll be considering the federal leader of that candidate's party's stance on:

Trump/tariffs
Climate
Economy/housing crisis
Indigenous peoples
Protecting/improving our health care system
Human rights
Protecting world democracies

Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing.

β€œI wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

β€œA politically motivated assassination”. Absolutely horrifying. It is a dangerous time to be a politician. That’s not just brutal for politicians and their families. It’s terrible for democracy.

β€œβ€¦this morning, from a war zone half a world away, I was reading about your election. And for the first time in days, I exhaled.

A small, almost invisible breath. Relief.

And then came gratitude…

You didn’t just choose kindness or experience…

You chose not to flirt with fascism.”

But when we're faced with the threat of her no longer existing, Canadian patriotism sure shines through! We are not slogans of hate, and we aren't going to pick a fight, but we will stand up to bullies. As the nation heads to the polls, keep that Canadian pride in your heart and #ViveLeCanada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
And right now I'm seeing that same patriotism all over Canada, from the feeling that we just can't lose her. We like to go about our lives, not really thinking about how much Canada truly means to all of us. 2/
🍁 It's ELECTION DAY in Canada! I'm so grateful to be HOME and you can bet I VOTED! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
I always loved Canada quietly, like most Canadians, until I moved to the US. Canadian patriotism seems to breed more by spending time outside of our borders, whether by choice or in service. 1/

Q: "Have you taken any steps to carry out President Trump's plans, as he has said, to annex Canada?"

Rubio: "No."

Q: "Does the U.S. still want to make Canada the 51st state?"

Rubio: "The president has stated repeatedly he thinks Canada would be better off as a state."
