WITH THE SHOCK AND AWE APPROACH-DIVIDE AND CONQUER PICKING AN ISSUE TO ATTACK WILL DEFEAT THAT APPROACH

 With all the current presidential orders and chaos management, it might keep some people looking in every directions.

America has made us aware we are no longer your friend.

There are more of us than them.

So pick an issue. Attack that issue.

For example, the unions can go after the issues in the Auto sector.

Canadians can refuse to buy American but buy from our friendly trading partners like Mexico, Australia, many European countries, South America, well you get the picture. I like some South African wines so Africa is good too.

Go after the laws. Like International Law that says a country can not annex another country. As a member of NATO, United Nations and other alliances, Canada can advocate for its own security and safety.

By the larger community picking off one issue at a time by that group has more power than just sitting and fretting.

Our Canadian leaders are using diplomacy. But we can be bad asses too. So if it tough approaches that are needed than bring them on.

As a Canadian widow, mother, Nana- I have my family to protect. If I protect my family then I am protecting everyone else as well.

We are a polite people. Sorry but we warned you.

BUYING CANADIAN BUT SUPPORTING OUR TRADING PARTNERS LIKE FRIENDLY MEXICO

 I avoided buying sweet potatoes yesterday because they were from the USA,

I found many products from Mexico. Small eggplants from Spain. Bananas are a no brainer as they do not grow in the Cult.

Baked goods and bread are made here.

I went to the liquor store. Canadian, Australian, German and Italian wine. Of course Vermouth from Italy.

I will support local business. I found some new pita chips made by a couple in Southern Ontario.

There are cultist movie stars like Stalon, Gibson and Voight that will not have me as a viewer again.

Even our own Wayne Gretsky is out of my favour as well.

Buying local, buying Canadian and supporting our friendly trading partners. 

How about you? What are you doing?

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE, BUT YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER

 America used to be our friend.

I see it as an enemy now. But to keep abreast of all things political we must keep our enemies closer.

Protect your back Canadians. Face south to keep yourselves aware of all the political jargon.

One mad man as we know from many times in history can do great harm.

The world is watching. He needs to be stopped not just reined in.

IS ADVOCATING TO ANNEX CANADA A BREACH OF INTERNATIONAL LAW- CAN WE HAVE AMERICA CHARGED

 Blatantly repeating he wants Canada as 51st state and we would be better off.

Horse shit.

Is he breaching International Law as advocating a hostile takeover?

Sounds like war to me.

Can we have him charged on the International stage?

It is not a fight we wanted but most Canadians do not want to be American.

As a member of NATO is America breaching NATO conditions?



We are proud of the true north strong and free.

WELL TODAY- THE START TO BUCKLE DOWN AND SUPPORT ALL THINGS CANADIAN

 The trade war has started with the USA. 

So time to be very Canadian and support all things Canadian as well as our other trading partners.

There are many sites popping up to help us know what is truly Canadian, partly made in Canada.

We also need to think about a product that was sourced and made by our Canadian workers.

However, we have some good trading partners like Mexico so blueberries from Mexico would be okay to buy as well.

It may be hard to change a brand for Health or allergy or other reasons.

But if all of us just change maybe 5 products each it would be helping in the short run as well as the long run.

We did not ask for this fight but we are all in.
