A Canadian distributor was "instructed by a retailer to pause any American brand launch,...They told us they would re-evaluate when market conditions allow."
"That's the kind of disruption we [an American company] would never expect,”

ICYMI -

What to expect from a felon tyrant wannabe king who keeps getting stopped by a judiciary enforcing the #RuleOfLaw? That he continue to break laws and try to silence those who call it out and oppose him.

It’s also why he’s attacking law firms.

Trump signs executive order that will upend US voter registration processes

>The US constitution explicitly gives states and Congress the authority to set the rules for election and does not authorize the president to do so.

I honestly have no idea how regular people can reconcile direct breach of the legal bedrock of the very idea of governance in America with the status quo. The world, as we have known it, has ended. #TrumpRegime

"The #MAGA scare: #Trump’s attacks on free speech won’t stop at college students
"The Trump administration is escalating its attacks on the First Amendment by targeting institutions that challenge his agenda, including universities, law firms, and federal judges. Trump's attacks on academia are especially egregious, as these institutions have historically served as important centers of dissent and protest."

"eligible New Hampshire #voters experienced significant roadblocks to participating in the state’s first elections since it enacted a law that requires a birth certificate, passport, or other proof of citizenship to register to vote. The mess provided a preview of the steep hurdles prospective voters across the country will face if Congress passes the #SAVEAct, a bill that will imperil Americans’ ability to participate in elections."

I'm seeing an uptick in video essays under the guise of "just asking questions" attempting to claim there is a conspiracy to destroy #OpenSource, #OpenHardware, #FOSS projects and culture by Far-Left Extremists, #Wokeism, and the #DEI agenda.

None of this is new. They only exploit a new sense of entitlement to more openly speak and act as they long have, emboldened by the spread of anti-democratic, authoritarian, irrational, emotion-driven, ethnocentric rhetoric and assaults on liberty by #Trump and the #TrumpRegime

More #2SLGBTQ+ #Americans looking to move to #Canada since #Trump's re-election

A 2SLGBTQ+ aid organization says there was a massive spike in the number of Americans looking to leave the country immediately after U.S. President Donald Trump returned to the White House.

#SwathiSekhar, director of protection initiatives at #RainbowRailroad, said the group received nearly 1,200 inquiries from 2SLGBTQ+ Americans on Nov. 6, 2024, alone, after getting only about 700 U.S.-based inquiries up to that point in 2024.

"This is really the most requests for help that we've received in a single day from any country," said Sekhar. "So that really says a lot. About half of those individuals who requested help were trans individuals, a mix of both #trans men and trans women."

Rainbow Railroad says it has received just over 1,800 requests for help from the U.S. so far this year — an 1,100 per cent increase over the first two months of 2024.

Canadian immigration lawyers are also reporting a rising number of inquiries from American members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community looking to move to Canada.

#Immigration lawyer #AdrienneSmith: "The overall sentiment that I'm hearing right now is just the kind of terror and speed that they feel like their rights are being stripped. You can hear the fear in people's voices when they're calling,"
