They need to leave the tariff on Tesla

We should all get team Canada shirts in solidarity 🫶

Expand full comment

it would be an honor to wear their team shirts -- but likely an insult for any American to wear one at this point -- we are like the abused family of an abusive con man spouse where the rent has not been paid -- the entire family gets evicted -- that is our lot and accept it -- however cheer on Canada and our allies in the destruction of this man even at the cost of our economy -- we can get back our economy but we cannot easily get back our freedom -- I have written a letter to the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office expressing my grief and support of Canada

Love it -- but sad they do not trust us and that means all of us for good reason.

This was very thoughtful of you- to write a letter. I agree with your sentiments for the most part- but I also believe that the world needs to start seeing more support of democracies from our citizens. Solidarity in going against our own government would not be insulting- but a testament to our connection with our Canadian allies. Most people don’t support Trump.

agreed but we can only do what is before us and yesterday it was a card and a pen that was transformed into a letter to Canada — we can do many things but it starts with what is in front of me — sending a card reduced my anxiety and it was an action and if others join me it may even have the impact of getting some press — of course we need citizen action and we need the democrats to do something — of course — but again there are other things available to each of us that can be done as well — subscribing here was the most powerful for me

I've been trying to get those in the USA to buy some sincere sympathy or get well soon cards to send to their government. I tell them unlike emails or a Change Org petitions just can be ....lost

But letter mail or flowers/teddy bears etc can stack up and not be ignored. I have even suggested that they take flowers/teddy bears or what nots to build a wall around the rep ....that way it is visual and should get on mainstream news like when Princess Di died and royal family was ignoring it ..........just my idea

I love your idea. We could add a solemn march with bagpipes playing funeral dirges around the capitol with everyone dressed in black. Maybe even a few hearses mixed in with the marchers.

And PS: I don’t see it as thoughtful as much as using the power of the pen and my singular voice and gift for writing. I’ve made mountains move using that one tool before. I encourage others to do the same. It is the tangible that will be heard by Canada not millions of posts. This is something I’m good at so done.

Thank you. Everyone is in shock, but we will recover there is already a swell of resisting building. I believe in us.

I wrote my letter because no matter what happens it is the relationship with our allies and especially our neighbors that I value most in my life. I am very aware of many heroic roles the people of your country have played over the generations in making a difference for us.

When you came to our aid in times such as our recent fires to me it is not just you coming to offer aid, but your parents and their parents, who have been there for our parents and their parents. It is that long tradition of trust and caring, which I value.

The damage Trump has done is a blight. We cannot let him divide us, but I fully understand you can no longer trust our nation. So, we will do our best to win it back and hope for a reconciliation. I am barely middle class as to income and financial resources; however, I welcome your tariffs. We can rebuild our economy but if taken not our freedom.

I just attended an online meeting of Americans organizing what needs to be done from the ground level state to state. It was my first meeting COMMON CAUSE. There are roles I identified where I may offer help. The strategy was laid out and there are multi layers of attacks coming for our democracy, not only within our government but on the state level. On the state level, for example, there is a lethal movement to interfere and restrict access for voters.

They stated (the four leaders of the meeting) that that is the most frightening and potentially harmful assault on our democracy currently and especially since no one is aware it is happening which they attributed to the fact the assault is quietly in the background and moving very slowly but making progress. Any fellow Americans here please research this issue and get involved in your state.

I agree that a well written statement can move mountains. Thanks for your support of Canadians, who, like Ukraine, didn't pick the the fight with a Dictator. Like the people of Ukraine, we won't be bullied buy the Orange Bafoon.

I've been watching Meidas on a daily basis since Jan 2024. It was like watching a slow moving train wreck, inevitable to crash. I pray the American people stand up to your "Govt Coup", happening right before your eyes and take to the streets if you must. Trump family grifters need be moved from the White House, along with those billionaires with no heart.

Thanks for your letter to our Canadian Prime Minister, cause really, we're all in this together. Good Luck down there and God Bless.

Fantastic idea. Canada is my birth country and that's the team Canada I'm rooting for. I think it isn't going to be easy for team USA as they get booed.

I wrote a letter of support addressed to the offices of Candian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau -- expressing my grief over the damage to our relationship and my support of their actions against the nefarious Trump -- and congratulating them for engineering a way to destroy Trump one which I hope our mutual allies will follow -- we can recover our economy but not our freedom. A tanked economy will sent Trump packing and break up the oligarchs and disable Project 2025. The abused victim spins their wheels constantly adjusting and trying to fix the damage of the abuser. Best to let the house fall down. It is the rats who run first from a sinking ship. We can get thru this. At this point more than half of us are united and that number will grow. I encourage our allies to destroy our economy in the name of helping us rid our beautiful country of Trump Et Al and Project 2025. And believe me I have very little, but I've been thru this before and know I'll survive it as will we all.

Totally leave the tariff on the Tesla.

From my understanding he is starting to lose money in that business .....yay!

His Board of Directors at Tesla should see him as a huge liability

They have for a while ......I think I have read that they have had a number of fights with Musk. In fact I think that the is not allowed to run the company due to some stock sells that were against the rules ......something like that

One can only hope.....but then he will recoup at our expense.

Not if we are smarter than him and his Felony friend

It is also known he has been trying to interfere into our elections so there's that as well

It is a weapon on hand and Musk now knows it. The stock market is Trump's Achilles heel. I say bring it on allies. Load up the tariffs. Let the markets drop. We will survive but Trump and the oligarchs and the corporations that fund this evil will not. We are stronger than any corporation and more resilient. They are throwing us into the meat grinder anyway. Let it drop!

My son and his wife are but they can't do anything about it, they'll get way too little to sell and then what do they're do, they're stuck with them for now.

I do believe we should boycott his products

Ford is an issue with his StarLink deal.......although I do think the north needs something but does it have to be his?

When are we going to come up with our own connections in the north?

I thought Telus was mandated to do that.........get the connections going to more places?

Or maybe that had something to do with the Shaw/Rogers merger

I'm pretty much boycotting all USA products until the felon is gone

We learned in his first term that he is a chicken-shit. Remember, he fired Rex Tillerson (his first Secretary of State) via a text message. Rinse and repeat. Bravo, Mr. Angus. I'll go over the boards for you anytime (probably because I grew up in Detroit).

Where DID Musk's family originate? They were immigrants to South Africa.

Obviously there is an immigrating gene in the family. . .

If I could give you 10 likes I would. The absolute gall of continuing to pick on Native Americans. Maybe they can "immigrate" the American Indian to all the lands that were stolen from them.

Thank you Canada for showing what the power of NOT buying goods from the thugs will do. We all need to do what we can to not buy unneeded goods, especially those goods that enrich the wealthy and oligarchs. Buy from local entrepreneurs, do anything. Hit the thugs where it hurts, the pocketbook!
