It's that way all over Canada! PEI folks are always SOOOO nice and they are posting lots of Canadian flags and notes like "Buy Canadian!" DT has single-handed made us fools.
And I have a Zoom meeting tomorrow with my Newfoundland peer group. Sigh. They know it's not ME, but I am still a terribly embarrassed American.

Weaver of words Who lives alone In fear and sorrow Where are the words To set you free Perhaps tomorrow Where is the earth Where is the sky Where is the light You long for What hope of you Where you are now Natalia Gorbanevskaja
Inside the ward Naked and cruel Where life is stolen From those who try To stay alive And not be broken Where are the friends Where are the men Who among them Can defend you Where is the child You'll never see Natalia Gorbanevskaja
What else there lives Behind the door That never opens Are you insane As they say you are Or just forsaken Are you still there Do you still care Or are you lost forever I know this song You'll never hear Natalia Gorbanevskaja
Trump agrees to pause tariffs on Mexico, but import taxes still in place for Canada and China
AP: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday that after a conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump that the planned tariffs are on hold for a month, a statement confirmed by the White House.
“Mexico will reinforce the northern border with 10,000 members of the National Guard immediately, to stop drug trafficking from Mexico to the United States, in particular fentanyl,” Sheinbaum posted on X. -- nordy
What is USAID, the government agency targeted by Trump and Elon Musk?
Musk took to X on Sunday to brand USAID a “criminal organization” and called for its death. As of Sunday afternoon, the agency’s website is inaccessible. USAID provides humanitarian and development assistance to other countries, primarily by dishing out funds to nongovernmental organizations, foreign governments and international organizations, or other U.S. agencies.

Welcome to Dystopia. We are witnessing a coup. This is highly dangerous.
Take care of your well being and keep accessing the reservoir of peace and inner joy. This could be a time of great deepening and transformation, personally and collectively.
One of my favorite "cookies" is Garibaldi biscuits, colloqially known as "fly graveyards/cemeteries," and in my family as "fly crackers." I have been boycotting Keebler products since they bought Sunshine and discontinued their version, "Sunshine Golden Raisin Biscuits." I can get UK-made ones via Amazon, but it occurred to me that there might be a Canadian producer. So sent an inquiry e-mail to a cousin in BC this morning. -----Alan
So, DT waits until after my meeting with the Newfoundlanders to annouce he's pausing tariffs on Canada as well as Mexico. Thanks a lot, DumbA$$. Hereafter, DT will be referred to by me as DA.

How long before speaking out against DT means you don't get your SS payment that month?

DeleteWeaver of words
Who lives alone
In fear and sorrow
Where are the words
To set you free
Perhaps tomorrow
Where is the earth
Where is the sky
Where is the light
You long for
What hope of you
Where you are now
Natalia Gorbanevskaja
Inside the ward
Naked and cruel
Where life is stolen
From those who try
To stay alive
And not be broken
Where are the friends
Where are the men
Who among them
Can defend you
Where is the child
You'll never see
Natalia Gorbanevskaja
What else there lives
Behind the door
That never opens
Are you insane
As they say you are
Or just forsaken
Are you still there
Do you still care
Or are you lost forever
I know this song
You'll never hear
Natalia Gorbanevskaja

I just looked on Amazon Canada, and one of the prominent headings on the front page is "Shop Made in Canada Products."
