When we moved back to Canada, I was asked at the border if we had guns (we were in 2 vehicles) and my response
"OH no! That's why we're leaving the US!!"

The CBSA officer smirked.

It’s not hard to be nice and it’s even easier to just scroll by if you can’t be nice. Everyone has a struggle, don’t be the one making it worse.

I'll play the Devil's Advocate here and say that there are innocent victims in the trade war. But EVERY war has innocent victims—and Canada didn't start this war. All it did was try to deflect Goliath's punches by supporting its own victims—namely Canadian businesses.

Yes, I love de Adder and think he's probably the best editorial cartoonist working today. Noth's work isn't usually overtly political, but he's consistently clever and a marvelous artist. @paulnoth.bsky.social

A topical 'toon by Paul Noth. He's on Bluesky @paulnoth.bsky.social , and posts a lot of great cartoons. Just the thing to add to your daily feed to add some levity.

I suspect Joly/Team Carney are playing Trump for time while they secretly work other deals.

How nice to see this image with the original text instead of being made into a meme that is either laced with profanity or twisted to fit someone's political agenda.

In other words, goodbye to Indigenous Peoples Day. An ominous warning to Canada's First Nations of what's in store should Trump ever get his wish of a 51st state.

Trump issues a Columbus Day proclamation to 'reclaim' the explorer's legacy

President Trump said "left-wing radicals" have tried to tarnish Columbus' legacy, and the proclamation is a way to preserve it. Some experts say it's a way to erase the heritage of Native Americans.

Although Qatar is defined as a semi-constitutional monarchy, the emir holds almost all executive, legislative, judicial power over the government & legislation. It is authoritarian. No political parties, limited citizen rights. The legal system is SHARIA law. They're gonna fit right in to Idaho.
