I grew up across the street from Alex Pretti in Wisconsin and we were best friends in early childhood. We had sleepovers and spent snow days together and when his window was open in the summer I could hear him singing all the way from my house.

I don’t know how I could get up in the morning, given everything that’s going on, if I didn’t know I was making a small difference for Canada’s future.

Short of getting caught orchestrating a coup or assassination, this is absolutely the core case of what you expel an ambassador for.
Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

I called this from the beginning. TikTok does nothing that isn't standard practice with US-based platforms. This was always economic protectionism by the Americans disguised as national security...and we fell for it.
TikTok Canada can continue its business operations in the country while it awaits another government review. A federal judge just set aside a Nov. 5, 2024 order that would have forced the app to wind down business in the country.
