Jeez this tariff mess changes literally by the hour. Business and trade needs predictability – how can anyone plan anything like this?
Not even the smallest biz knows from one day to the next what charges to expect on incoming or outgoing goods. The simplest shipment rendered unpredictable.
And all motivated by ego – who they can get to beg. Like twelve year olds (and not even bright ones) running their country.
Yeah i’m calling BS on this.
“There are foreign leaders who want to fly to Washington tonight and get on a plane to negotiate with this country, which shows you the leverage that the President is using. It shows you the rest of the world needs the United States to do business with.”

Burk drank the #USrepublican kool-aid, that’s pretty clear. Hypocrite. If she supports the turnip so strongly, she really should reconsidering moving back to the #US. She’s the fanbase he desperately wants living in his country. Don’t like how #Canadians feel? You’re free to go and quit using our nation’s free health care.

If wages in the States drop to the level where they compete with Asian labour, than the numbers might work for manufacturing to return to a devastated pre-industrial USA
“Migrants who were temporarily allowed to live in the United States by using an online appointment app have been told to leave the country "immediately," officials said Monday. It was unclear how many beneficiaries would be affected. “
I mean.... at least they gave some warning?
Wonder if the Statue of Liberty got the message…

Andrew Nikiforuk: Trump’s abuse of Canada has focused our attention on a shared external enemy.
But whichever party leader wins — the national banker or the career creature of Parliament — he will face a citizenry polarizing as the wealth gap widens and paths to a better life constrict.
Huge cuts at NIOSH mean that those who reply on respirators to keep themselves safe will have less protection. This impacts firefighters, miners, healthcare workers and all manner of industries.
It’s also devastating to the disability community.
“You do you” Covid policies left many of us with N95s as our main line of defence against repeat infection.
Respirators make public spaces accessible. They allow us to attend healthcare appointments without forced infection.
Cutting the people who ensure their quality will endanger disabled lives.

“…the United States cannot be trusted to lead. Not because of one man but because of what half the country has chosen to normalize. Not because of Trump alone but because every institution built to restrain him failed and then got in line.”

@Remittancegirl Once upon a time I wrote my thesis on this topic, how to tell the truth of lived experience in conditions of censorship. At that time my focus was on Latin American dictatorships in the 1970s & 80s. Then on East Central Europe, 1945-89. Reagan, not a president I like to quote, famously called on the USSR to “take down” the Berlin Wall. Literally & figuratively. Now a different US president is intent on building a wall against knowing the truth. Ugh.

“The best way you can include the disability community in resistance efforts is to ensure they’re accessible. Often we want to participate only to find out that masks aren’t required, an event is being held in a space that isn’t accessible and/or online options aren’t being provided”
If you’re feeling left out of the #HandsOff protests, or you want to find ways to resist online, my chronic illness spoon saving guide has you covered.
To non disabled activists, please make your events accessible. Disabled people have a ton to offer resistance efforts, make sure to include us!
https://www.disabledginger.com/p/spoon-saving-social-media-tips-and
We want to hear from you! Let us know in advance if you’d like to share so we can be sure to include you live during the the event.
Email us at townhall@democratsabroad.org
Your stories won’t just be heard in the room—they’ll be shared with the DNC, legislators, and other state parties to help drive real action.

So many inspiring displays of protest today. Thank you for showing your neighbouring friends that what is happening is not okay with you.
Canadians, please remember what our American friends are doing today in protest of their government at the Hands Off protests. We have to be prepared to protest if our government starts conceding to the American dictator.
