Canada has universal health care. It’s not perfect, but I will say I had a bad fall last year which required an open reduction and internal fixation on my arm. It cost me nothing, and I had excellent care.

I think Russia does anyway...
We’re in high school, and the student council has taken over the country.
I don’t think Ford backed down. He said he would retaliate…then Trump changed his threat (backed down). Seriously, we don’t want a full on tariff war. Just because the Canadian government isn't broadcasting: “WE JUST GOT A DEAL WITH BLAH, BLAH, BLAH”, “WE NOW ARE GOING TO DEAL WITH JOE BLOW!”, “WE ARE THE BEST!!!” This doesn’t mean we aren’t working on separating from the US, and working on other trade deals. Mark Carney is experienced and skilled in global economics. (He advised the UK against brexit). I am a firm believer in education and experience. Elbows Up! But don’t be too quick to invite a trade war.
The whole point of Trump threatening scariffs is a mind game to wear down Canada’s resolve. That won’t happen. He doesn’t need us? Apparently he does. He wants our water, and he wants our natural resources. Danielle Smith is obviously a traitor. So is PP. He’s just changed his rhetoric to garner votes.
Lots of negativity here. “Well, that’s not going to work.” It has to start somewhere.
Really? I’m in B.C., and I haven’t seen that yet. But I haven’t bought sweet potatoes for a long time as I can only find Product of USA.
California could get water from Canada ;). Education funding is also on the chopping block unless they bow and scrape to Trump’s ideologies, so…
Please don’t include all seniors. While I can’t speak for all seniors, I am very much from a generation that took to the streets fighting against social injustice. PLEASE don’t generation shame/blame. It’s just another divide and conquer tactic.
Boomer here. I was part of the “take it to the streets” movement in the 60s. (And don’t let anyone tell you that protesting doesn’t work). We organized without social media, we were fearless, and we were focused. We NEVER expected anyone to use their influence to help. Don’t throw your anger onto others for what you are not willing to do. Something else we had going for us…musicians. We had musicians that wrote the most amazing anti-establishment songs. They were like a call to arms. Where are the poets and musicians?
They’re not “supposedly” blue states. They ARE blue states. Their citizens voted “against” the shit show that is now the "high school council" government of the United States.
