Some positive news out of BC: One of my son’s teachers messaged parents about “rainbow day” to say that 1) it’s optional, only participate if you’re comfortable and want to and 2) she would not be providing any rainbow-related social education. Good, normal teachers exist.

@LouiseCdn @FoodProfessor The point is you said both countries stuck it out. That's incorrect Mexico did a deal behind Canada's back and then it was presented to Canada by the US as take it or leave it.

Canada Proud @WeAreCanProud

Mark Carney's trade policies are so DISASTROUS that they're catching the attention of the Japanese. The Japan Times published an article on Tuesday noting that "Mark Carney’s trade push collides with reality." Not only is he FAILING in his negotiations with the United States, but he's FAILING to find new trade partners from around the world. How bad is the situation? According to The Japan Times, "Canadian officials acknowledge that the main draw for many potential trading partners is the prospect of gaining tariff-free access to the world’s largest market through Canada’s participation in ‌the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade ‌agreement." In other words, the only reason many of these countries wanted to trade with us in the first place is because it would give them backdoor access to American markets. If Mark Carney can't secure that American market, then these other countries are simply not interested. But the report gets even worse. Acknowledging that Japanese companies own 75% of Canada's auto producers, the report further states that "for many of the Japanese companies investing here, one of the reasons for their investment is definitely the special access Canada has enjoyed over the long years." If we can't maintain access to the American market, then the Japanese companies won't see a as much of a reason to produce autos here. Do you think Mark Carney will be able to fix the mess he's created?

@mvbenter @CanuckoftheEast @TrendPolCa A Pelosi led Democratic congress notified Trudeau/Freeland that there were enough votes in the house to decertify NAFTA and pass USMCA and for the Canadians to get back to the table and sign onto the pact or be left out in the cold. Everyone forgets that the US and Mexico

@RetiredJustin @MrPalski @FanaticsFerrari We dont really know though. What bothers me is the guy is a good driver and racer but he seems to make bonehead moves which ruin his race. Sure the tarmac was the problem during the race but all the other drivers except for Stroll drove through it and didnt crash.

@CanuckoftheEast @TrendPolCa Historically Democrats are all in for protectionism so even if they win theres a good chance they will continue to ride any protectionism Trump created.

Seems the Qatar Elite Internal Security Force (Lekhwiya) is in the Vancouver, BC area. Is this part of the MOU signed by Carney for joint security and knowledge-transfer agreement with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and global security agencies for international matches? As part of the FIFA security?

@jsolomonReports ...To be honest with you, we don’t need anything Canada has, we don’t need anything that Mexico has, but they need everything that we have.... So if this is the case doesn't the US rely on selling a ton of product into Canada? Why would the US want the deal canceled then?
