Well, Gregory, I’m not sure how you and other Americans are navigating this turmoil between our two countries. Our PM is managing to keep a cool head. The Premier of Ontario, not so much. Hoping for calmer waters. 🇨🇦 🍁

To put in perspective, the Buffalo metro area has a population of 1.1 million while Toronto has 6.5 million. Whatever people need, they can find it on the Canadian side without the hassle of MAGA.

So so sad, when friendships whither and sometimes die. I miss the friendly feeling we, as a country, had with America. #Canada #USA

Canadians care about the world and we care about each other. So we’re going to fight climate change and build a stronger, more competitive economy – together.

Absolutely! We have no control over what America will do next to its neighbour. You’ve done your best being diplomatic; unfortunately you’re dealing with a bully, not a reasonable leader. Good luck on your travels. Hope you can get some good deals for Canada. 🍁🇨🇦 #elbowsup

So true and so sad! My husband and I toured the White House Gardens years ago. As a Canadian, I mourn the destruction of the East Wing too

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 4d

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

I live in Canada. I talked to my Canadian friends who used to have property in the US or go down for winter vacations, but no longer. They are too afraid of going. Now that they have to be fingerprinted at the border unlike any other country in the world. They no longer feel safe or welcome. So sad.

We haven’t learned enough from mistakes we made during the Cold War, and now we’re repeating some of them.
