Very good news…and we need to keep fighting back especially since more tariffs keep being added onto our products…..

In a recent survey, QC's retail council found that 85% of Quebecers are avoiding American products, while 87% favour local brands & 80% are shopping in local stores.

But it was also revealed that a number of Quebecers are buying from online shopping platforms like Temu & Shein.

Majority of Quebecers still boycotting American products

According to Quebec’s retail council, a lot of Quebec consumers are still actively avoiding purchasing American.

Was it America First or Argentina First? Somehow there’s $40 billion for Argentina.

Trump Treasury Sec Bessent Reveals Argentina Bailout Is Actually DOUBLE at $40 Billion (not $20).

Major hedge funds led by Bessent’s friends & investors stand to significantly gain from the bailout.

Trump puts America LAST when it comes to his corrupt money hoarding friends. #FollowTheMoney

Trump Treasury Sec Reveals Argentina Bailout Is Actually Twice as Big

The “America first” president is giving another country twice as much money as previously announced.

But they’re antics can sure make it possible (Supreme Court, gerrymandering….)…

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

An arch? Likely gold coloured? Ugh. I hope the White House will be restored by future Democratic presidents..next he will be filling it with toys because what he wants to do with it now seems pretty childish….

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 17h

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

Unreal. He needs to start doing his job instead of being so out of touch and doing something as nonsensical as this.

I see that this small-minded puritanical pixie is laser-focused on getting the government reopened and the troops paid.

Aside from the fact that this policy is bad, it must really be bad if Fox is refusing to sign it!

Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social · 1d

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

It’s great to see so many countries participating in this protest. Trump will see this as being unjustified….i wonder if he will slap new/more tariffs on these countries. I wouldn’t put it past him and his retribution personality….

Things are so different now! Growing up, we had the dial landline. We knew everyone’s numbers. Now I don’t know anybody’s number because they are all in my phone. And long distance was expensive but usually cheaper in the evening. And now we don’t think twice about it…..

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.
