What's this?
Orange juice for one cent?
These are #Canadian shelves, and these are #American products
This is at a Loblaws in #Ontario, photo taken on Monday
#Canada retailers pretty much have to give #USA products away as Canadians #boycott the #US and #Trump's bellicose verbal diarrhea and #tariffs
#Florida #citrus growers: you voted for this
(ps:
the food banks don't have any room for this juice, because so much unsold American food is already going to the food banks)

Canada is Everything
Democrats in the United States Congress must show they are serious about fighting back and need to take a lesson from the legislators in New Zealand who refuse to let #Parliament ignore their voices. To paraphrase MTV "It's time to stop being polite and start being real" #RESIST

Kudos to @indivisibleteam for planning all these #handsoff protests WORLDWIDE. there’s people reporting from Athens (Greece), Berlin (Germany), Paris (France); and i love that Canadians are showing up #ElbowsUp at USA embassies.
so, my little contribution to today is this list of dos and donts at #protests:

cannot say this enough:
- DON’T TALK TO COPS.
- wear a mask, and bring to share
- wear comfy, closed toe athletic shoes
- stay hydrated.
- HAVE FUN!
CANADA! ABOOT TODAY!
Americans didn’t listen to me and went all the gringo way. Y’ALL DON’T HAVE TO DO THE SAME. as Uncly Ru says,
DO
NOT
FUCK

UP
Voting in Canada today was a breeze.
There was no line for me, and it took less than 5 minutes!
If you can vote and haven't yet,
there is no reason not to go.
Yes, you still have time! 🗳️🇨🇦
🇨🇦 Just watched a couple of clips of PM Mark Carney in 🇺🇲 Oval Office. Skillfully handled 👍️

Imagine Poilievre (sycophant; zero experience/credibility) in that role (optionally w. Trumpist Alberta Premier Danielle Smith wrapped around Trump's feet, purring away).

awhile back, I made a teapot to give as a gift to my Canadian friend.
It just came out of the kiln. I think she is going to like it!

I’m down south in Iqaluit this week, taking a wilderness first aid course. I went out for coffee this morning with an old troopmate and ordered a triple shot Americano (the cookie is his, lest you think me indulgent). When I got the receipt I see it has been renamed. #ElbowsUp
#Canada it’s going to be close. Really close.
We can’t afford to take anything for granted and we can’t afford to be complacent. Use this week to talk to people in your circle, at every opportunity link Poilievre and the conservatives to the shitshow that’s happening to the south.
And for god’s sake, VOTE!
#Canada to expedite nation-building projects to counter #Trump admin border and tariff threats
« PM Carney said his plan is to narrow down a list of so-called "nation building" projects - like pipelines, nuclear reactors and trade corridors - and create a framework in which the projects would be approved in under two years' time. »
#Canada won’t become the 51st US state – but could it join the EU?
BREAKING: Trump said on Tuesday that it would cost Canada $61 billion to be part of his proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense system, but that it would be free if the country became the 51st U.S. state.
In unrelated news, Canadians haven’t stopped laughing at Trump and his Republican band of red asshats since the announcement.

Canada's already into our 2nd worst wildfire season in recorded history & Albertans will AGAIN breathe historically WILD smoke hours in the 100s, so can we REALLY be talking about more #Pipelines in 2025?

More Canadians avoiding U.S. goods, travel amid #Trump trade war: poll
“… 75% of Canadians surveyed say they intend to avoid travel to the U.S. — up 10 points since February
— while the number of people avoiding U.S.-made goods has risen five points to 72 per cent.”
Wowza… Canadians really do not tend to agree on much. Those numbers are high!
