"The excuse for those tariffs shifts every day. The only constant in this unjustified and unjustifiable trade war seems to be President Trump's talks of annexing our country through economic coercion," says Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly on ongoing Canada-U.S. trade war.

This is as direct a threat to Canada’s sovereignty as one could imagine, an illegal one at that (See UN Charter). Canada will never accept this direct threat of aggression and economic force as “normal”.
Trump: When you take away that artificial line that looks like it was done with a ruler— and that’s what it was. Some guy sat there years ago and they said RAH. When you take away that and you look at that beautiful formation of Canada and the United States… And then if you add Greenland.. that’s pretty good

Canada and the Netherlands have shared a great friendship for 80 years, since the liberation of the Netherlands by Canadian soldiers in 1945. And Ottawa, the home of the Canadian Tulip Festival, and the birthplace of Her Royal Highness Princess Margriet, has been an important part of that relationship. It was a pleasure to welcome Her Excellency Margriet Vonno, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, to City Hall. With all that's happening in the world right now, it's an opportune time to showcase that real friends treat each other with respect and gratitude. #TulipsNotTariffs Le Canada et les Pays-Bas partagent une grande amitié depuis 80 ans, depuis la libération des Pays-Bas par les soldats canadiens en 1945. Ottawa, siège du Festival canadien des tulipes et lieu de naissance de Son Altesse Royale la princesse Margriet, a joué un rôle important dans cette relation. C'est avec plaisir d'accueillir Son Excellence Margriet Vonno, ambassadrice du Royaume des Pays-Bas, à l'Hôtel de Ville. Avec tout ce qui se passe actuellement dans le monde, le moment est opportun pour montrer que les vrais amis se traitent avec respect et gratitude. #TulipesPasTarifs

#Saskatchewan cannot continue to deny basic diplomatic and economic concepts. We cannot continue to refuse to use our strongest bargaining chips while continuing to take hit after hit from a belligerent American regime. #skpoli /10

#Sask need not suffer if it decides to demonstrate real leadership by backing export tariffs on potash. The Americans need our potash. Demand for it is what economists call “inelastic”, meaning they’ll keep buying it at any price, in this case even in the long-run. #skpoli /4

I don’t see how anyone can look at this Orwellian forbidden words list and think this is free speech
Here The NY Times identifies words the Trump administration erased or discouraged in federal websites and documents, along with many of the ideas that the words express.

Morgan Harris’s daughters and family have changed history. They would not back down when they were told no, that authorities would not search for their mother’s remains in the landfill. Now, their mother is going home to them. It was a battle that played out publicly in front of Canada and the world. The genocide of our women and girls displayed in the most degrading and horrible way. But these daughters stood tall, the warrior blood in their veins carried them through to fight for justice. It took over two years. But, it’s proven our women matter. We are valuable and worth finding. Worth fighting for. I am so proud of these girls. Here is a montage of some of the events of the past couple of years featuring Cambria Harris, Elle Harris and Melissa Robinson.

With much of the world's reserves of uranium critical to European and American utilities for electricity, potash critical to US farmers to produce food, canola critical to China for cooking oil, oil & gas critical for the US to refine for gasoline, Saskatchewan is on the front lines of this trade war. We need leadership now that has international financial experience, understands global trade, and can collaboratively work between different levels of government within Canada and with other nations.

Where there seems to be broad agreement that we need to make massive changes — energy, internal markets, our ability to defend ourselves militarily — Trudeau inherited those problems. He made some worse, but he didn't CREATE any of 'em. Blaming Trudeau is a cop out. 2/2
