Crossed from Canada into the US last week at Alexandria Bay (1000 Islands Bridge) and encountered something I had never seen before - there was just one car ahead of me and just leaving and the border guards were standing around chatting. Canadians are serious about no traveling to the US>

“My jaw is dropped!”

WATCH Canadian Foreign Minister @melaniejoly.bsky.social on @cnn.com lay out what’s REALLY going on with #TrumpsTradeWar and more, to the citizens of the Unites States (as least the ones that don’t only watch Fox News).

Then share it far & wide. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3rI...

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:

He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.

He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.

He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.

Keep fighting.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

I’ve had my real criticisms and disappointments regarding Justin Trudeau as Canada’s Prime Minister, as well as my compliments.

But he’s done far more for Canada in the last month and days than Pierre Poilievre has done in his entire political career (which is the only career Pierre’s had).
You can’t overstate the historic importance of today’s speech to both American and Canadian citizens by Canada’s Prime Minister.

Please watch it and share it wherever you live, but especially if you’re in the United States. You need to know what Trump is doing, and why. youtu.be/wz_42pckM7w

If you missed it, here’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s, quite sincerely, historic speech. It’s for, and is galvanizing, Canadians but he also speaks very directly to our allies in the US. Please hear us out.
I do find myself thinking how much I’d give up, and do, for this imperfect country.
