Canada will only survive and thrive if it diversifies its economy and makes it less dependant on one. Being dependant on one economy makes Canada vulnerable to being taken hostage and losing freedom. #democracy #trade #davos #unitednations
NATO is likely effectively dead. If the potentially 7 tariffed countries capitulate to the US than the alliance is gone. If they resist than the situation escalates. Unless the US backs down there is no way out. #nato #alliance #unitednations #europe
It appears that Greenland's allies will be hit with a potential tariff if they don't agree to Greenland's surrender to an occupying force. #greenland #democracy #freedom #nato

Absolutely nothing Canada could have done to avoid being hit with additional 10 percent tariffs today. Former US President Reagan was right that expanding trade is the only solution to promote economic success for all. The 1987 speech by the President was real and fully stated his views on free trade. Go to the original source. #tariffs #trade #elbowsup #freedom #democracy
I support the legacy of former President Ronald Reagan who advocated for free trade and largely rejected protectionism. #tariffs #democracy #economy #freetrade
I support the territorial integrity of #ukraine and it should never be surrendered to #autocrats and their supporters. Democratic countries must stand united. #freedom #antifascism #democracy #ruleoflaw
Canada must hit the US with recipricol tariffs if it attacks Canada's auto sector. The sector must be the red line that Canada must not back down on. #elbowsup #tradewar #nafta #trade #democracy #freedom
