CANADA IS UKRAINE TRUMP IS A TWO-BIT PUTIN

Trump is freaking because we are standing up to him.
MAGA is spooked by our hockey slang (seriously).
They ask us to "turn down the rhetoric" but accuse of us being as ungrateful as "Ukraine."
Canada is Ukraine and Trump is a cheap Putin.

Jack Daniel's maker says Canada taking bottles off shelves 'worse than tariffs' Some Canadian provinces have removed US-made alcohol from shelves in response to US tariffs.

Dear Mr. Jack Daniels,
Canada is your biggest market.
Maybe you should explain this to your legislators who threaten us.
We will take all the steps necessary to defend our nation from a hostile foreign power including filling the shelves with great Canadian whiskey.

Attirer des cerveaux, un pied de nez à Trump - La Presse+ Si le Québec et le Canada cherchent à répliquer aux attaques de Donald Trump, il existe une occasion en or.Une occasion encore plus satisfaisante que de taxer le jus d’orange de la Floride ou le Jack ...

Il est essentiel que le Québec et le Canada s’imposent comme des choix évidents pour accueillir l’excellence scientifique. Le gouvernement Legault entrave cette ambition en mettant en place des politiques qui restreignent l’accès aux talents internationaux.

More than 150,000 Canadians sign petition to revoke Musk’s citizenship Parliamentary petition launched due to billionaire’s link to Trump, who has repeatedly threatened to conquer Canada

The petition to strip Elon Musk of Canadian citizenship has 168,000 signatures. This grassroots initiative has exploded in just a few days.
Now the UK media are covering it.

WEIMAR et le SUPER BOWL Le Super Bowl, c’est l’endroit où se font les grandes déclarations et où les mi-temps sont des spectacles rivalisant d’audace et de provocation, en contraste avec la rencontre sportive.

Je vous propose une piste de réflexion pour comprendre comment on en est arrivés là, et pour échapper à cet avenir qui se dessine.
Le fascime est en marche et nous avons des choix cruciaux à faire, pour protéger notre démocratie et notre modèle inclusif de société.

Speaking on @meidastouch.bsky.social about what it means when Canadians "go over the boards".
