Bruised feelings over tariffs & trumps threats to make Canada the 51st state. This isn't about bruised feelings. it's about protecting our sovereignty from fascism. Elbows Up.

It's not like they didn't have a warning about trump policies as he screwed them in his first term. Now, he's doubly screwed them by closing off their markets through tariffs and canceling USAID, which was guaranteed income for farmers. FAFO now means vote trump, find out.

Thanks to trump, Argentina is not only doing better, but Argentina is selling their soybeans to China. China found other markets to buy from and bypass the US.

This type of manure is unique in that nothing good grows with it.

Again, trump blames everyone else but himself for the problems he created.

He doesn't want to say her name and says she got the Nobel Peace Prize. Maria Cordina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize through years of hard work & and self-sacrifice to bring freedom & democracy to Venezuela. You don't get the peace prize for sending troops & federal agents on your own citizens.

For some reason, I was expecting polievre to say axe the tax and talk about his common sense plan as well. Every time I hear him talk, I'm reminded of that 80s commercial, Where's the beef? In this case, where's the policy?

Nice one, I never understood the metric system & when is Canadian Halloween? Priceless.

NB stopped buying US alcohol in February. They usually spend 40 million a year on US products. I agree, I wish NB had left it off the shelf. What I did like about that story was that even with US liquor available to licensed establishments & agency stores, the public wasn't buying it.

You'd think trump would have caught on when China stopped buying soybeans, creating economic chaos for farmers. The US needs goods & raw materials from China more than China needs US products and materials. China showed that by signing new trade deals & bypassing the US for its needs.

Guess what else is unheard of in international trade? Huge unjustified tariffs on every country around the world by trump.

That wasn't a check-up. That was a follow-up for whatever happened over the summer. When your ankles are so swollen, you can use them as floatation devices in a water emergency, you're not in perfect health. The covid & flu shots were a do as I say, not as I do moment contradictory to anti-vaxers.

Nah, he just plays one on TV to keep that section of his base intact.

Yes, you can't ignore those unplanned drinking emergencies. They must be dealt with immediately in person, no Zoom calls on these types of emergencies.

Oh, the irony with his statement. If he looked in the mirror once in a while, he would see he's complaining about his attire.

I was an Expos fan, too. I really miss them. I have family & friends in the US. Many of them are Canadiens fans as well.

What I like about these interviews is that we get different perspectives from different people, but they all tell a similar story about what's happening in the US from people living there.

Every video like this really gives us insight into what's happening in the US from different perspectives that sadly tell a similar story.

With Canadians boycotting going to the US, this video shows there are plenty of great places to visit in our own country. This video only scratches the surface of the places we can visit. Which is the beauty of our country so many places to visit & many things to see right here from coast to coast.

That's the beauty of Canada. There were a lot of great pictures in that clip, but it just scratched the surface of all the wonderful places in Canada. With Canadians boycotting going to the US, now is a good time to explore parts of our country. There are many hidden gems to explore in Canada 🇨🇦.
