If Canadians overall, and leaders like Danielle Smith, John Rustad etc. think we should tone down the rhetoric and pushback

• YOU FIGHT NAZIS -

not placate them

The Elon take over the the US administration is going to get people killed

Everyone I talked to today in stores, our neighbours, online - we are all mad as hell, the relationship has changed forever

People checking labels, US stuff not selling

Changing travel plans to avoid the US

It feels like a divorce

Can't believe I'm watching this nightmare of a presser - Trump standing next to Netanyahu stating the 'US will own and develop Gaza' 'but it can't be for a people, for people who are terrorists'

Sure, send thousands of US troops to fully ethnically cleanse Gaza so Jared can build his dream of beach front resorts

This is INSANE

CPC realize they are tanking in the polls, going into panic mode as Carney especially is eating their airtime

Poilievre absolutely tanking

Nanos: LPC 40%, CPC 32%, NDP 15%,

GPC 6%, PPC 2%, BQ 6%

PP running solely on a carbon tax and anti Trudeau message sure has worked out well😎

even with a 30 day pause I hope the Buy Canadian/Mexico grocery signs stay up and that Canada actively pivots exports to other markets

The US has proven to be a bully and utterly unreliable trade partner

Product of Canada, Product of Mexico signs going up all over our local grocer. Shoppers looking at labels and putting back items that say USA

People are angry and actively resisting

While Poilievre and his Trump associated acolytes try to spin their way into being relevant, it is worth noting the only way the orange nightmare would make Canada effectively a 51st state (which is the goal) is division, instead the opposite is happening - Canadians are together, ready to fight, ready to act

that's really bad news for the conservative brand - Smith, Rustad, even Ford - we will not support acquiescing to fascist bullies

Trudeau and Eby both did well today, looking like the adults in the room while Trump lies to the American people and his pal Musk is quickly dismantling the state

Canada is leaving plenty in the pocket if Trump retaliates further - the US will get a hard lesson fast on what we supply and control

PP and CPC will tank further in the polls, we are angry, and his flailing response is falling flat

Trump: 'there is nothing Canada can do' - and there you go, this was never about the border or fentanyl, it's pure spite

Danielle Smith and Kevin O'Leary are just a fucking embarrassment for sucking up to the orange dick thinking they could change his mind

Grocery shopping, ran into an manager I know, they are actively de-sourcing the store from US products, and figure even if the tariffs get eventually lifted, they'll stick to other supply lines

So, smart supply chains won't give a fuck to Trump, they know the game

hearing from a friend his neighbour tried to trade in a Tesla for a new Kia EV, and the Kia dealership literally laughed at him

They are worthless, unsellable, except to Nazis

I am truly loving Tesla car lots and repair shops being trashed with graffiti - all over Canada and the US, the brand is dead

Basically if you bought one less than 5 years old, you are explicitly supporting a Nazi, because the MuskOx was a clear fascist by then

As a person with still a logical brain:

1: Military can't act in a state without the approval of the Governor, and/or an act of Congress

2: A President can't unilaterally over-ride state laws, and hell, he wanted to give control over everything back to the states, unless they defy his orangeness I guess

3: What tap? Is there some sort of massive secret pipeline no one has ever heard about?
