But let's get trusted allies to import from and export to. Europe, Latin America, Korea, Japan, Taiwan. Canada has enough rare earth, aluminium, steel and water for keeping manufacturing going for centuries.

Jobs? Build the New Energy. Build Housing. Build the Avro Arrow. Nationalize US businesses, like Air Canada and the news system.

"But Trump’s claim Canada can’t survive without the U.S. is utterly false. We’re the tenth largest economy in the world. (Ed. larger than Russian economy) We have 40 million people: workers, consumers, citizens."

"Indeed, in important ways, we are actually less reliant on foreign trade than commonly assumed."

"Almost 80 per cent of what we produce never crosses a border. Its produced in Canada, by Canadians, for Canadians.'"

Toronto Star · Jim Stanford: Here’s why we will survive Trump’s tariffs — the answer is right in front of usBy Jim Stanford

Those that are privileged enough to be able to flee the U.S. apparently are. I worry about those who have retired trying to flee as a refugee. The state (U.S.) could very well deny any pension plan or the U.S. could simply axe their pension plan. *ugh* On our doorstep (Canada)

I have to say, I'm impressed with how PM Carney is handling Trump.

We are sovereign, and we make our own decisions. Trump be damned. I feel Carney has a solid vision for Canada's economic trajectory with labour in mind.

My riding will go orange and I wholeheartedly believe in Trisha Estabrooks to represent me and my family. I trust in her to serve us well all while working with a Carney gov't with similar values.

🤔 Something to consider...

When Trump started the Tariff rhetoric, Trudeau stepped up, increased negotiating deals with the EU, Australia and other countries.

Trudeau started the ball rolling, PM Carney picked it up and is running with it, plus running for the election in April

I can't imagine Poilievre having the ability to walk and chew an apple at the same time.

Vote wisely, and please help others get out to vote.

(This platform is only supporting US zip codes so far.) This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of democracy and longstanding alliance and friendships for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. We are rallying and protesting along with many across the US and Europe to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the global rise of fascism. A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action.
