🇨🇦 TARIFF PROOF: BUY CANADIAN 🇨🇦 Trump wants to tariff Canadian products? Fine. Let’s make his tariffs work against him. We don’t need to replace everything overnight. But we can start choosing Canadian whenever there is a Canadian option. 🥛 Dairy: Gay Lea, Natrel, Lactantia, Agropur 🥩 Meat: Maple Leaf, Schneiders, Olymel, Piller’s 🥚 Eggs: Burnbrae Farms, Gray Ridge 🍞 Bread: Silver Hills, Dempster’s, COBS 🌾 Flour: Rogers, Five Roses, Arva Flour Mills 🥣 Cereal: Nature’s Path, Rogers 🍁 Maple syrup: Canadian producers 🍯 Honey: Dutchman’s Gold, Bee Maid ☕ Coffee: Kicking Horse, Balzac’s, Muskoka Roastery 🍫 Chocolate: Purdy’s, Laura Secord, Ganong, Peace by Chocolate 🍪 Cookies: Dare, Leclerc 🥔 Chips: Old Dutch, Covered Bridge, Hardbite 🍝 Pasta: Catelli, Italpasta, Primo 🧻 Toilet paper: Cascades, Royale, Cashmere 🧽 Cleaning products: Nature Clean, Attitude, Bio-Vert 🧴 Personal care: Green Beaver, Rocky Mountain Soap, The Unscented Company 👕 Clothing: Roots, Kotn, Stanfield’s, Reigning Champ 🥾 Boots: Canada West, Royer, Baffin 🏒 Hockey: CCM, Sherwood, True 🛠️ Tools: Gray Tools, Garant, Mastercraft 🛏️ Mattresses: Douglas, Endy, Silk & Snow 🪑 Furniture: EQ3, Palliser, Canadel 🔥 BBQs: Napoleon, Broil King 🐕 Pet food: Nutrience, Champion Petfoods, Boreal 🍺 Beer: Moosehead, Steam Whistle, Muskoka, Beau’s 🍷 Wine: Inniskillin, Peller Estates, Jackson-Triggs, Quails’ Gate 🥃 Whisky: Crown Royal, J.P. Wiser’s, Forty Creek, Lot 40 🍸 Vodka: Crystal Head, Iceberg And this is only the beginning. One important rule: Canadian brand does NOT automatically mean Canadian made. Check the label. Look for “Made in Canada” or “Product of Canada” when that’s what you’re trying to buy. We don’t have to boycott everything American. We just need to stop assuming American is the only option. Every Canadian dollar we keep circulating through Canadian businesses supports Canadian workers, Canadian manufacturers and Canadian communities. Trump wants a trade war? Let’s show him how strong the Canadian market can be without depending on the United States for everything. 🇨🇦 #BuyCanadian #MadeInCanada #CanadaStrong #TariffProof #BuyCanadianFirst

BREAKING: Donald Trump was just completely humiliated by reporters asking if he is upset that Elon Musk was sitting behind his desk in the latest Time Magazine cover. Trump would hate it if you made this go viral.

Grateful for our Canadian neighbors as they lend a helping hand in our time of need.
I spoke with @GavinNewsom last night. We both know that Canada and the United States are more than just neighbours. We’re friends — especially when times get tough. California’s always had our back when we battle wildfires up north. Now, Canada’s got yours.

It seems a lot of American can't conceive why Canadians are not so eager to join the union. I'll give you a few reasons: - We love our country, just you like you love yours. Things can always be better, but this will always be our home and native land. - The climate sucks, but we're used to it, and it can be quite beautiful at times. We have warm homes with warm people, winter sports, and lots of sunshine. - None of my kids have had to do active shooter drills, unlike their cousins across the border. Our cities are the safest big cities in North America. - There is no role for religion in politics. No one cares. - We never have to worry about health insurance. Granted the system can be improved, but there are no co-pays, no monthly contributions, few worries. - There's no corporate donations in politics, it was banned 20 years ago. Billionaires can't own the political system. - The media (what's left of it) is not allowed to broadcast false or misleading news. - There's no corrupt geriatric supreme court that can ruin your life. Here judges have mandatory retirement, and few Canadians can name even one of them. - Abortion has been permitted for 35 years and is a non-issue politically - There's no senate or electoral college that can keep unpopular parties in power. - Higher education is good, cheap and accessible. Few are crushed by student debt like in America. There's a million small things too, but overall, this will never stop being the most beautiful place in the world to me:

On this day in 1989, an armed gunman who said he was "fighting feminism", murdered 14 women & injured 10 other women and four men at École Polytechnique de Montréal. The massacre led to stronger gun control laws in Canada & changes to emergency procedures.

Warning: extremely difficult text to read below. Last night I surrendered my phone and signed a waiver. And then I sat with a small group and an Israeli military attaché and we watched the 45 minute compilation of Hamas videos from October 7th. 1/12

Several officers have been redeployed to Barrhaven as a result of the Tornado. @enbridgegas is assessing gas leaks – due to this, road closures will be ongoing. We have also seen an increase in traffic entering Barrhaven. For public safety, please stay away from the area. Follow all directions by all emergency personnel. Thank you. #OttNews #Ottawa
Ottawa Police remain in Barrhaven, assessing damage and assisting residents. Several partners are assisting, including @OttFire and @OttawaParamedic. This incident has a large footprint and officers and partners are working diligently to assist everyone needing help. There may be road closures due to fallen trees, electrical wires, etc. A family reunification centre has been established at the Minto Recreation Complex, 3500 Cambrian Road in Barrhaven. Please do not call 911 unless it is an emergency and you need Police, Fire, or Paramedics. #OttNews #Ottawa

There’s an adult and a petulant immature brat in these photo. Danielle Smith will never help Alberta with this pathetic attitude.
