“To Trump, and to the people cheering him on: you have picked a fight with the one neighbour on earth whose entire military history is a warning against picking that fight. We show up smiling. We show up in shorts. We show up with a case of beer, a snowblower, and a genuine hope that this all gets fixed on a handshake. And if it doesn’t, we show up the other way, and there is no historical record, anywhere, of that going well for the people across from us.“

- Dean Blundell

What he said.
Trump, Republicans, fascists; you were warned.

“On Friday night the trade talks collapsed. On Saturday morning, the 50 percent tariffs kicked in on about 20 billion dollars of Canadian goods, everything from beer and cheese to hockey sticks, under Section 338 of a 1930 tariff law nobody had touched since 1949. Trump went on Truth Social and posted that Canada wants the benefits of being a state without being one. Mark Carney stood up in Ottawa, got asked why it sounded like he was going to war, and said, “Because we were attacked.” Dollar-for-dollar retaliation starts September 8. Steel, dairy, appliances, farm equipment, pulp and paper, electronics.

Angus Reid polled the country over the weekend. Seventy-six percent of #Canadians say walking away from the table was the right call. In a country that can’t agree on whether milk goes in a bag, three out of four of us just agreed on a fight.

I want to explain to our #Americans friends, and I do mean friends, what that number means.”

#TradeWar

“Fellow resisters,

There is no place I would rather be at this time than in the forward trench with my fellow Canadians.

From one end of this great nation to the other, I have seen the determination and pride to live up to the great legacy we have as fighters of fascism.

The Juno Beach gene is in each of us.

As Winston Churchill said to Adolf Hitler in the dark days of 1941:

“We ask no favours of the enemy. We seek from them no compunction. We will have no truce or parley with you, or the grisly gang who work your wicked will.

You do your worst, and we will do our best.”

That is the spirit we need to show now.

As Canadians, we will do our part and do our best.“ -
