There is something refreshing about going through the grocery store and saying to myself "nope" and putting USA made products back on the shelf. Almost always there is a Canadian alternative. (even some toilet paper is made in the USA, why would anyone buy it-we have plenty of trees)?

FU** Google. "Breaking News Google updates maps to display Lake Ontario as Lake America in US" WE can just name things whatever we want now. Hey Google, please change Donald Trump's name to Donald Epstein. Just because I say so.

Hit the Yanks hard. Export taxes on potash, critical minerals, lumber, oil, gas, air travel through our airspace. Forget booze, hit them where it really hurts. Teach them trade is two-way. "American tariffs on Canadian goods take effect after trade talks fall apart"

In response to Trump's new tariffs, it is time for Canada to put a tax on everything the USA imports from us. Fresh water, electricity, potash, lumber, copper, oil. natural gas, technology, food, etc. Tax it all. Add in culture (Justin Bieber, Ryan Reynolds, Mike Myers, Ryan Gosling, etc.)

As a Canadian, I beg that Trump visit us. Drop him off in the boreal forest by helicopter with a rake to clear the forest floor, a sleeping bag and rations for a week. None of us will ever have to see him again. We'll hear his cries for his momma echo for thousands of miles.

Please start keeping Dear Leader away from sports. He already thinks he runs everything else. I would like to turn on TV or radio and not hear his opinion on every topic on earth. #MakesMePhysicallySick

NBC News "Trump discloses 327 unreported stock trades made a day before his first tariff pause." Just completely off-the-rails corruption. And the profits are made from reversing his own signature policy! How can anyone trust anything?

To heavyweights complaining about Mamdani, AOC, etc. popularity; every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Support Trump, and you eventually get the opposite. Jamie Dimon on Friday criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s tax proposals, calling his policies “embarrassing”

Narcissist and child-like loser not to mention wildly dangerous ......."President Donald Trump said he was “an hour away” from deciding whether to attack Iran on Tuesday before he was convinced to postpone the strike for a few days."

I am thinking about the long term effects of the Supreme Court decision on CUSMA. Will this mean that any renegotiation of CUSMA has to be approved by Congress and not just Trump? I feel that this is what Carney was counting upon. Congress knows that US needs Canada. Trade goes both ways.

Supreme Court rules that Trump's sweeping emergency tariffs are illegal https://cnn.it/3MUK2Zs

Time to pay the piper, Donald. Your tariffs were nothing more than an illegal cash grab that drove up prices, hurt working families, and wrecked longstanding global alliances. Every dollar your administration unlawfully took needs to be immediately refunded — with interest.

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

Canadian poll. To USA:FAFO. "Do you have a positive or negative opinion of the following countries?" (Research Co., Feb 4-6, 2026, n=1,001) % Positive: 🇮🇹77% Italy 🇯🇵76% Japan 🇬🇧75% U.K. 🇫🇷72% France 🇩🇪71% Germany ... 🇺🇸30% United States 🇸🇦29% Saudi Arabia 🇷🇺22% Russia

Bloomberg, take a stand please. Milquetoast headline. There is no country currently less trustworthy than the USA. Canada paid for the bridge (in return for revenues) because the US didn't want to pay up. I will never forgive the USA media for allowing him to continue harrassing Canada.

GM, why don't you pressure Trump to stop saying "US doesn't need Canadian made cars"? Perhaps Canada doesn't need the US made cars that GM ships to Canada. Trade is a 2 way street, get it? #GM #Trump #Tariffs Perhaps Canada should also shut off cheap oil, electricity, copper, potash, water.....

Exclusive: A recent deal by Canada to allow tens of thousands of inexpensive Chinese EVs into the country is a risk to North American auto manufacturing, GM’s CEO says.

Weary of NFL games being decided by 30, 40, 50 yard penalties that are induced and discretionary. DPI in the NFL should max at 15 yards (like NCAA). Ruining the game. #NFL #NCAA #passinterference #ESPN

I would gladly subscribe to an app that automatically switches my tv to the fireplace channel any time Trump's name or likeness appears on my television. Can someone please develop this? #Trump #Tariffs #Epstein

Trump to attend Commanders/Lions game today.... Stop it @Rump. Stay away from sports, the one last distraction. Who wants this? I was looking forward to a Sunday of Detroit Lions football, not creepy on the screen.
