Funny how a U.S. president who claimed the U.S. doesn’t need Canada is now throwing tantrums as Canada moves forward with partners who value what #Canada has to offer.
Funny, but are we really surprised?

Too bad the industry seems to have forgotten that, from Ed Sheeran's weak-kneed response to #Ticketmaster, the examples aren't hard to find.

Some Canadians and Americans refuse to let politics divide them, as in Vermont, USA🇺🇸 and Stanstead, Quebec🇨🇦.
In fact, one family has the #U.S-Canada border running right through their home.
The CNN video below looks at communities where the border is a line on a map, but not in people’s lives. 👇

CNN went to a town where you can't separate the U.S. and Canada, regardless of politics. One family literally has the US-Canada border running right through their house and they told us they're glad Canada is fighting back with retaliatory tariffs.

Norway’s latest whaling season has ended with more whales killed, including many pregnant females.
Yet only about 1% of Norwegians eat whale meat.

So, protecting them is much more than saving one species. It's about preserving #life itself. 🦈🌊

Only the right-wingers did not stand to applaud Carney.
To be expected ➡️ Many right-wing populists around the world either support Putin’s policies or minimise his actions.
Had Trump and his goons been present, they would have remained seated.

Europe’s dependence on China for critical minerals & rare earths, and on Russia for oil, has left it vulnerable. Closer #EU ties with Canada could strengthen Europe’s resilience by reducing its reliance on China and Russia. But this will take time obviously, it’s not a path to instant independence.
