There is a way to prevent a trade war and still come to a win/win solution for Canada and the USA. Trump has been telling NATO countries for over a decade now that the USA is done footing the global security bill and like it or not, he is right. Canada has done a terrible job of meeting our military spending commitments and as a result, we are terribly unprepared to defend ourselves, let alone our allies. Like it or not, Russia is our next-door neighbour. You can bury your head in the sand about climate change, but the reality is the planet is warming and soon, the North-West passage will become a viable shipping option. Canada has utterly failed to protect our sovereignty and cannot defend the North. The USA is the largest military manufacturer on the planet. Canada does not have a functioning navy, and we have almost zero icebreakers. Canada immediately increase military spending and end the trade imbalance with the USA by purchasing a new Navy and Icebreaking fleet off the USA. We can also assist the USA by expanding NORAD agreements and installing new weapons systems in the far north and put an end to Russian aggression and expansion into Canadian territory. We can also work with the USA to build road and rail shipping capacity from all over Canada and the USA to Port Nelson. Opening up an economic trade corridor to the North-West passage that would bolster both countries' economies by trillions. At the same time, Canada can seek to diversify our economy and grow our trading relationships around the world. We need the ability to sell our resources to more than just the USA. We need Oil and Gas pipelines going East and West and we need to upgrade our raw materials in Canada. We are a sovereign nation. We never should have allowed ourselves to become so reliant on any other nation and its economy. We did this to ourselves. We have an opportunity to put ourselves first, an opportunity to become self-reliant and to put Canadians and Canadian jobs first. We can either meet the challenge or we can keep pissing into the wind and complaining that we are wet.

I have seen more crack and meth smoked on Transit property than Cigarettes, Vapes or Cannabis. I have also watched as your security, transit police and CPS turn a blind eye to it.
#CTRiders Smoking on Transit property is an offense, and you can get fined (this includes vaping and cannabis). Nobody likes second-hand smoke or cigarette butts on the ground.

The CPC needs to combat this and combat this quickly. Get every sitting MP and confirmed nomination candidate in front of a camera. Get on the podcast circuit. Talk to the independents. Post daily videos on YouTube, Facebook, Rumble, Instagram and TikTok.

So anyway, this is a lie👇
Holy shit. I had no idea about this. The Canadian government is a walking security threat. "In 2020, a Chinese state-owned mining company bought the Hope Bay Mine — a distressed and heavily indebted underground gold mine in Nunavut with significant operational challenges. ... the mine is at tidewater in the only part of the high arctic that reliably has open water every summer, it has a deep water port, an underground mine shaft only a few hundred meters from tidewater, and a fully functional aerodrome and mining camp… the central location on the map below, which shows the mine at an equal distance from almost every large city in America, says it all. And with no roads to reach the location by land, no-one would have had any oversight over what could have gone on there, what ships (or submarines) come and go under cover of supplying the mine, or what is stored out of sight in that shaft. If a hostile actor wanted to establish an easily suppliable location, with plenty of time to build up a secret future military base from which to launch a surprise missile attack on America from a wholly unexpected direction in the event of a war, all legitimized under the cover of “mining activity”, there truly isn’t a better location."

LOL Singh is "putting Trump on notice" that he is willing to drive our economy off a cliff!
NEW: Canadian NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he wants to put a 100% tariff only on Tesla to target Elon Musk, says Trump is "on notice." The left loves pretending they care about 'climate change' and clean energy until their feelings get hurt. "Donald Trump has picked this fight, so we're gonna fight back. We just announced today, what I would do is put in place a 100% tariff on Tesla, directly targeting Elon Musk."

The Liberals put us in this mess, surly it makes sense that they’ll fix it… 🙄🙄
Read the room, bro. It's Team Canada time, not "let's keep hating on Liberal and NDP leaders and voters" time 🇨🇦. You're stuck in 2024 while we're all trying to survive 2025. One country. One goal. Stronger Together.
