I'm not saying that this is the horror which awaits us; however, if this weekly storm pattern does continue, it's going to be hard not to be worried about a repeat of January-March 2015. (The attached snowbank photo was taken March 25th!) #NSStorm #NSwx near #Kentville

There is a reason that Scots all over the world celebrate Robbie Burns.
By oppression's woes and pains!
By our sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!
Lay the proud usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!—
Let us do or die!
By oppression's woes and pains!
By our sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Albertans, do you see the carnage in the US? #DanielleSmith is bent on having her own police force? Do you understand that America needed to speak out and stand up a long time ago, that when citizens are getting killed and beaten and disappeared, it's already too late?
We need to stop Smith NOW.

Canadians will continue to boycott the US and its administration because they have a rabid dog loose in the Whitehouse. Canada will never forget, we hold grudges. Time to ramp up the boycott on US industries.
Threatening Canada is a huge mistake 🖕

Trump’s back to threatening 100% tariffs on Canada this morning, wow I can’t imagine why the Canadians now see the Chinese as a more reliable trade partner

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

The orange felon has made more money in less than a year than that of the last 18 US Presidents combined. He isn’t a President, he’s a tyrant, a rapist, a fraudster, a war criminal, a domestic terrorist and a murderer. He should be in jail, not the White House.
