Hatescrolling the Instagram of an afterschool program at 9pm is a choice alright.
Canadian Cadets learn youth leadership, discipline, and outdoor survival skills. They’re taught the values of our armed forces and how to be better citizens.
We’re proud of our cadets. 🇨🇦

Well done, Prime. Minister. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Canada clearly made a serious, good faith effort to get greater stability and market access, and remains ready to find a fair, balanced agreement.
But we are not cravenly surrendering in the face of constant economic and political aggression.
Responding to the new US tariffs with counter tariffs is exactly the right thing to do at this time.
People in the Trump Administration keep expressing outrage that Canada is the only country in the world apart from China to retaliate against US tariffs.
Damn right we are. Makes me proud to be Canadian.

517 american companies started by canadians. $414 billion raised. almost 9 in 10 of them went to school in canada
incredibly, 216 of these founders went to waterloo…. and half of these companies were started in the last 2 years!
517 US companies with a Canadian founder. $414B raised. 88% educated here.
The talent was never the problem. The belief was.

+1 Harper negotiated the FTA with the EU a decade ago
The hard diplomatic work of trade with Europe was done long ago. We have free trade with them.
The barrier to selling to Europe is the Liberal government blocking our biggest export from getting out of Canada. They killed the Energy East oil pipeline to Saint John and blocked LNG export plants despite Europe begging for our energy.
I am challenging Mr. Carney to tell us when the first shipment of Canadian LNG will arrive in Europe.
Our biggest export cannot be speeches, handshakes, and photo ops.
