Just when I thought it was safe to mail my grandson his birthday present... Another strike. 📭 I wonder if profit sharing as a #goal would help bring the sides of this essential service together before further erosion of their market share. Let's try creative innovation. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

#Bloomberg et al: airlines paused or cancelled Canada-U.S. flights in the wake of trade war

Actually NO!
It's not because of trade war. It's because of disrespect calling Canada "the 51st state." 🇨🇦

Tariffs are transactional.
Annexation is emotional.

Could this be partly why King Charles is reading the speech from the throne in Canada?? Prime minister #Carney gets it and can lead graciously on the world stage. Thank you. #elbowsup

On this day, a failed desperate attack on Quebec City during a snowstorm on December 31, 1775, resulted in more than 300 Americans captured by French and English who went scurrying home, leaving food, weapons and wounded comrades when British warships arrived on the St.Lawrence River. #canadastrong
