It needs to stop mimicking the exact same US narratives and stop creating fear and using exaggeration to make a case for being in power. This is Canada. We are smarter and not easily fooled and we have the benefit of seeing what’s happening to the south.

Despicable behaviour on the part of the Republicans and their president to deliberately withhold funds for this program.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

You’re probably correct, but no one in Ontario wanted this ad. Furious at Doug Ford for wasting $$ we need in Ontario!

Just look at where other countries have ended up. The United Kingdom thought it would gain an advantage by being the first to sign, acquiescing to 10 per cent across-the-board tariffs and a quota on its automobile exports. The Europe Union’s agreement, which even its members seem to hate, was even worse, imposing a 15 per cent tariff rate and a requirement that it buy USD $250 billion in American energy products per year. As for Japan and South Korea, they negotiated tariff rates ranging from 15 to 50 per cent, but were also expected to cough up huge sums of direct investment — USD $550 billion from Tokyo and USD $350 billion from Seoul. Trump claimed that the deal requires 90 per cent of the profit of that investment remain in America and said he would personally direct the capital. Trump’s shakedown was effective. French President Emmanuel Macron conceded as much when he declared last month that “to be free, you need to be feared. We were not feared enough.” Instead, they feared being left out — but as Trump himself wrote, showing fear “makes the other guy smell blood, and then you’re dead.”
I broke things down further here.
I'm starting to think we're wrong to even say that Trump's trade negotiations are getting "deals." They're not deals. They're the terms of other countries' economic capitulation. #giftlink
Canada is lucky not to have signed!

But here’s the deal: There’s no deal to be had. Behind the glad-handing and theatrics, Trump doesn’t even know what he wants. He has found his preferred tool in achieving his grandiose goals — ending the drug crisis, eliminating America’s trade deficits, reviving American manufacturing — and it is tariffs. Don’t like those demands? Don’t worry, he has others: A place to send the people he’s deporting, free capital to invest in American manufacturing, or unrivaled access to rare earth minerals. Exactly what Canada is supposed to do to escape tariffs remains murky as ever. We’re not the only ones. Trump’s conspiratorial trade adviser Peter Navarro once promised to sign “90 deals in 90 days.” The administration’s biggest deal has been with China — and it’s a loser. The deal reduces, but doesn’t drop, American tariffs on China in exchange for more critical minerals from Beijing. This is Trump’s version of a win-win: He gets concessions, but gets to keep the tariffs.
Trump is posting on Truth Social that he's terminating negotiations with Canada over a "fake" ad criticizing tariffs (that was run by Ontario, and which isn't fake.)
It's all theatre. There was never a deal to be gotten. Trump just wants to claim victory. #giftlink www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
Our Ontario Premier spent taxpayer dollars on a ad no one wanted with this result 👇🏻🤦🏼♀️
