@LukaszukAB Thanks Thomas. You have a lot of us on board again!

Real Canadians aren't scared of the inevitable economic pain or the nonstop trash talk from hardcore right-wing voices — especially those MAGA types who've tried to smear our well-earned rep for kindness and respect. We've shown that respect not just to the US, but to allies around the world for decades. Straight facts: Canadian troops fought shoulder-to-shoulder with Americans in WWII, Korea, the Gulf War, and more. When NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time after 9/11, Canada stepped up big time — over 40,000 of our forces served in Afghanistan, and 158 Canadians paid the ultimate price. That's how CANADIANS honour commitments and rules. The shifts happening with our neighbour to the south right now are a clear lesson. We're not afraid of the changes, and we sure as hell don't want to head down those darker roads they're dealing with. Instead, we're pivoting away from a once-trusted ally and locking in with partners who actually respect each other's sovereignty and work together fairly. Look at our moves so far.....the Indonesia CEPA signed last year is on track to cut tariffs on most Canadian exports like potash, wheat, and wood. Deals with China have reopened key markets and slashed tariffs on canola and other ag products. With India, we've got a MAJOR $2.6 billion uranium supply contract locked in and fresh CEPA talks aiming to double trade to $70 billion by 2030.... So, the goal is simple — double our non-US trade over the next decade while building stronger ties in energy, tech, and defence across the Indo-Pacific. No matter who the future trade partners turn out to be, Canada is showing the world how a nation can rise with steady strength and become that reliable light others can follow. We're not afraid to go our own way, and we're already doing it. While our southern neighbour starts looking more and more isolated, burning bridges left and right, we're out here building smarter options. This is Canada — the greatest nation on earth. We're determined, we're moving ahead, and we're choosing our own path as we must. #CanadaStrong #TrueNorth #MAGA











Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick tore into Canada's trade strategy Friday, just weeks before the U.S., Canada, and Mexico must decide whether to extend their North American trade pact. bit.ly/4tk0RgB
