The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

This is not a ‘descent into fascism’…. This is fascism.

We need to be prepared to be like Finland, living next to an anti-democratic belligerent superpower.

We already build BYD electric busses in Newmarket Ontario.

We should also be negotiating to build BYD passenger vehicles.

I was just in 🇦🇺 where they have them & they are fantastic cars.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’
