Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Hey Mike Johnson, let’s see who showed up for what you called the “Hate America” rally.

Canada has our own variation on the theme given ‘inconvenience’ of having a king of sorts…. We will be marching in support under ‘No Tyrants.’

Trump just said that we in Canada have been treating the US very badly for a long time — thus the 35% tariffs. I thought we had together been a global model of what ‘neighbours’ sharing a border should be. He has disabled the relationship potentially beyond repair. Elbows up. 🇨🇦

I used to feel self- conscious for buying myself flowers for no reason at all. Now the reason is self evident. They make my day and remind me of my mother and her beautiful English garden.

@jay.bsky.team in Vancouver as keynote speaker at vancouver.websummit.com so suggest they ditch the X and go with the butterfly on the site. A much saner community where ideas matter.

I spoke with UN Secretary-General António Guterres today. In this time of rising conflict, Canada is ready to lead. We will build coalitions, defend democracy, and stand up for our values on the world stage. As others step back from global leadership, Canada is stepping up.

It is hard not to get an anticipatory tingle when this box arrives. Cancelled vacation south this spring and decided to travel virtually in style instead.

Headline says it all.

Great News: PM Mark Carney and his liberal party win in Canada, ensuring that our good and decent neighbor has a strong leader to oppose Donald Trump and his mad ranting.

I think Trump’s achievement here has no parallel in modern democratic history. He singlehandedly flipped a national election in another country, it’s truly impressive.

Breaking: Canada has formally elected Prime Minister Mark Carney, handing the Liberal a decisive mandate to take on Donald Trump. Top of the list: A tariff face-off. Read more: ow.ly/cLUe50VJmsP

Robert Armstrong from @financialtimes.com to @nicollewallace.bsky.social sums up current stock market perfectly as ‘a Trump Mood-o-Meter.’ Sometimes simplest said is best said.

Canada is ranked 1 in education, 3 in safety, 4 in justice, 4 in overall best country. We are not a broken country. We have not suffered a lost decade. Our existence is in the balance. Vote.

@mollyjongfast What more needs to be said?

Manufacturing employs 11m, tourism 12m. #richkid #amateur

Voted early. Lineups confirm that Canadians are coming to this election ‘elbows up!’

@katiephang.bsky.social on last two shows makes no sense. This is a voice that has been measured, informed and inclusive of opinions not always heard. What the heck @msnbc.com Way to extract value from weekend mornings.

Tonight, between Booker and the Florida results, is a night to remember that the unraveling of American democracy is not inevitable. Trumpism’s vision for the future is not inevitable. We have a voice—and a vote too.

Right now, Cory Booker is holding the Senate floor like a combination of Jimmy Stewart in "Mister Smith Goes to Washington" and Jerry Lewis in the last hours of his telethon. Compelling viewing! (On C-Span and Youtube)

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

Hate the word but truly it is ‘unprecedented.’ Also petty, short-sighted, harmful, and desperate. What leader fears the finest minds united around national security? Guess question answers itself.

A strong, secure Arctic is essential to Canada’s sovereignty. The world is changing. Our adversaries are watching. We’re making investments now to keep Canada safe for generations to come. ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/...

I had an excellent call with President von der Leyen about the road ahead for Canada-E.U. trade. Canada and Europe are strong, reliable partners. In a shifting global economy, that matters more than ever. We’re ready to secure new transatlantic business opportunities together.

Today is World #Delirium Awareness Day. Each March the international Federation of Delirium Societies (iDelirium) leads the way raise awareness about delirium and its impact on patients, families, and healthcare systems. Learn more: deliriumday.com #WDAD2025 @nidus-delirium.bsky.social

I met with General Carignan today, Chief of Defence Staff, about the hard work ahead to make Canada secure. Together as Canadians, we’re going to meet our 2% NATO spending target by 2030, modernize NORAD, strengthen our Arctic presence, and ensure we build a strong, resilient Canada.

In a few days, Mark Carney will be the next Prime Minister of Canada. Carney just gave up his entire portfolio to help grow Canada's economy. Pierre PoiLIEvre won't even get a security clearance. The choice in the next election is crystal clear #NeverPoilievre #noPoilierveforCanada #VOTELIBERAL

Our British Columbia Premier David Eby sums up feelings in a province previously very in sync with the American west. True friendship back and forth across the border now in jeopardy. I’ve cancelled two business trips south and said goodbye to my favourite California wines. Not people; all Trump.

I’ve always been a fan of dystopian movies as small comfort that as bad as it gets it can never be THAT bad. For first time, real life is outpacing the plots.

Mike Myers on @SNL got it right. We Canadians will not be placated by the ridiculous/insane taunt of tariffs on/off. We will buy Canadian. We will boycott travel. We will support our Prime Minister. We will continue to hold out hope for our American friends. But we’re ready. #ElbowsUp.

Trudeau: We’re probably going to keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans, we're not booing you. We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us.  But we're Canadian. We're going to fight. And we're going to win.

Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

This is so effing insane. When did we in Canada become the enemy and Putin become the bestie? And wasn’t the current USMCA the crowning achievement for 2020 Pres. Trump? How quickly they forget. Canadians won’t. When push comes to shove let’s just say Canadians know how to put up the elbow.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine
