@donwinslow Don’t expect this to change anytime soon. Canadians also continue to leave US goods behind in stores, and with limited exception, you won’t find US alcohol for sale here. We are focused on diversifying trade and building our country🇨🇦

There are so many awful statistics like this one and they are not getting enough coverage. If it was Joe Biden delivering this darkness, it would be front page every day.

@ScottBilleck His departure left a huge hole. It’s not the first time the Jets have seemed caught off guard by a player departure/issue, which begs the question why they don’t seem better in tune with them. From a business perspective, it’s an HR issue; key and critical.

It will always remain a mystery to me why the Jets could never see what Carolina long saw in Ehlers. They wanted him for years and as soon as they had a chance, they snapped him up, played him more and in better spots, leaned on his strengths. Undervalued here. Not there.

@SykesCharlie The lack of geographic knowledge of the rest of the world and related news/history is another issue. Have met Americans who were mystified by a Canadian license plate.

Unfortunately, this explains so much. So much.

@mehdirhasan @DecodingFoxNews It’s appalling. What is the US doing about it?

The president of the United States posting from an official government account an image of the chair of the Federal Reserve being thrown in the trash. There are no words or precedents for this.

@SykesCharlie @TheRickWilson Yup; leadership isn’t about size.

Leader of the free world.

@McFaul @GeoffyPJohnston Regardless of the void that the US has created, Canada is more than capable of leading. We are tremendously proud of our country and the steps that are being taken to diversify our trade relationships, build in Canada, and demonstrate leadership globally 🇨🇦

Just shameful that the US is not sharing the burden in the greatest fight for freedom of our lifetimes. Canada is now a more consequential leader of the free world than the US. Hope this changes in the future.

@AmbBridgetBrink Speaking from direct experience in the business world, women stand up for things because they have always had to. Speaking truth to power is so important, always, but especially when the response isn’t one of appreciation.

I resigned as U.S. Ambassador Ukraine when Trump kept siding with Putin over our democratic partner. Now, my successor is doing the same. I knew I had to speak out and run for office because siding with dictators is just not who we are.

Smile if you’re a Toronto team that defeated Cleveland on Sunday 😏

@Microinteracti1 For example👇 x.com/sarobertsonca/…

@Microinteracti1 Canada has taken a (if not, the) leadership role in moving away from the US and making its own plans. Despite the direct geographic proximity to the US, we are often ignored, with the term “allies” generally being equated with “Europe”.

Fareed Zakaria has reached a sharp conclusion this week, and it deserves attention. In his Washington Post column and accompanying video, he argues that Trump's contempt for America's allies has finally crossed a threshold from which there is no easy return. The point Zakaria keeps coming back to is structural, not emotional. In Washington, Trump's insults toward Europe get treated as routine reality-TV noise. In European capitals, the accumulation has hit a tipping point. The Iran war, layered on top of the Greenland threat, has forced Europe to grow a spine, as he puts it. Leaders are no longer interested in dropping to their knees to stay on Trump's good side. He opens with a striking anecdote from Shenzhen. A senior Chinese businessman told him that Trump's attack on Iran mattered less to Beijing than his threat to seize Greenland. The moment Trump turned on America's oldest allies, the Chinese understood that Europe would never follow Washington's lead on China. Zakaria's central argument is the one worth sitting with. Countries have started making long-term policy shifts, and those shifts will soon take on a life of their own. Allies have realised they handed their security and prosperity to Washington, and Washington used that dependence to squeeze them. So they are buying insurance. Many are already in talks with Beijing on energy security and green technology. The recurring question about Trump's foreign policy has been whether the damage is reversible. Zakaria's answer is becoming clear. Once trust is gone and the hedging begins, it does not unwind. If you like what you read, follow Gandalv on X: @Microinteracti1 youtu.be/YWZACdqdFcc?si…

@fred_guttenberg Listening to some of the US media coverage this morning discussing “political violence” misses the obvious point that it’s “violence” broadly that needs to be addressed. It’s obvious to those of us who live outside the US that its everyday gun violence doesn’t occur elsewhere.

If you were horrified last night watching our elected leaders run and scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, becomes a part of the solution and only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

@TSN_Sports Might be easier to report who is still there.

The Boston Red Sox have fired manager Alex Cora. The team has begun the season 10-17, fifth in the AL East. The club also let go of hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez, third-base coach Kyle Hudson and game-planning coach Jason Varitek per Jeff Passan.

@McFaul Obviously; is far worse than an “imperialist dictator”. Trump rolled out red carpet for Putin on US soil & faced no significant consequences from US for doing so. This is what the rest of the developed world sees. Trump isn’t fulfilling the “leader of the free world” title either

Putin should not be invited to the G20 summit in the United States of America. Rehabilitating an imperialist dictator is not the job of the leader of the free world.

@AdamKinzinger Only matters if people get out and vote (and anticipate that he’s going to make doing so difficult).

Trumps polling is in absolute free fall

@McFaul Completely unacceptable; despicable. If US does nothing in response, the message it sends is that it’s OK with this. Regardless, all other G20 countries should boycott this event and meet in Canada instead.

There is nothing surprising about Trump inviting Putin to the G20 summit. From ending aid to Ukraine, blocking Ukraine's membership into NATO, lifting sanctions on Russian oil, or pressuring Zelenskyy to give Donbas to Putin, Trump always sides with Putin. So, tragic. So, wrong.

@gtconway3d While the US media talks about “the midterms” as if a normal process will unfold. They continue to normalize his presidency and miss the story.

Correct.

@donwinslow Where is the US media?

America 2026. This is not AI

@joncoopertweets @AmbassadorRice Exactly. Where is the US media?

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

@DoctorLemma This is well known by Canadians (and the musical is awesome!) #comefromaway

Just found out that on 9/11, when the United States shut its airspace, 38 planes got diverted to a tiny town in Atlantic Canada called Gander, Newfoundland. The town’s population at the time was around 10,000 people. Overnight, 6,700 strangers arrived. The population nearly doubled in a few hours. Apparently the town just opened up. Schools, churches, and community halls were turned into sleeping areas. Bus drivers who had been on strike came off the picket lines to shuttle passengers. Pharmacies filled prescriptions for free. The ice rink at the community centre became a giant fridge because there was so much donated food. People invited strangers into their homes for showers, meals, and a bed. The passengers were only there for four days. Twenty-five years later, many of them are still in touch with their Newfoundland hosts. One flight raised money for a scholarship fund for kids in Gander. It started at 15,000 US dollars and has since paid out over a million dollars to local students. A musical was made about it called Come From Away. It ran on Broadway for five years. When a reporter asked one of the Newfoundland women why they did it, she said, “You don’t turn your back on people in need.”
