“Canada Strong” by N&J
Whistler, BC (Mar 19/25) – The past few weeks in Canada have been a whirlwind of emotions, of confusion & anger due to the idiotic ramblings of the ‘Orange Blob’ who resides in the big white house in Washington, DC, USA. It is one thing to elect a leader who may not follow your personal political preferences, but to elect someone who apparently is devoid of any logical thought, who ‘bobs & weaves’ (his words, not ours) from one extreme to another, challenging historic allies while embracing perennial foes …it boggles the mind. Is this really happening?
AMERICA WTF??? …YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID
The constant barrage of caustic comments calling for Canada to become ‘the 51st state’, inferring that our Prime Minister should be called ‘governor’; imposing tariffs on imports from Canada and other free-thinking nations for reasons that defy any common sense …only heighten the frustration Canadians (and the rest of the global community) feel for the supposed ‘great neighbours’ to the south.
Apparently the American ‘Idiot in Chief’ believes he will gain ‘great respect’ from those who he belittles, treats shamefully & shows total disregard …likely not, just the opposite.
Canadians are a proud bunch. We may live in the 2nd largest country (by land mass) populated by only 41 million people …kind, decent, thoughtful & sometimes overly apologetic. BUT we will not be bullied and cowed into accepting such outlandish treatment by anyone …irregardless how great or strong ‘they’ think they are. Canadians are banding together to boycott American products (buy Canadian or non-USA products if possible); cancel travel to USA destinations, instead try exotic destinations like Mexico, Costa Rica OR travel Canada …how many of us have never been on the opposite side of our diverse country (N&J’s visit to Newfoundland & Labrador was a real eye-opener …drop dead gorgeous).
Sadly American citizens are about to experience personally the pain being brought on by their president’s uninformed actions, we all ‘globally’ will feel the effects but need to stand strong in our resolve to see this through to a just & equitable solution.
This has only strengthened our resolve of what we believe as Canadians …ELBOWS UP!!!
GO CANADA GO

Thank you N and J for your words and for being so thoughtfully Canadian. 🇨🇦
I encourage our Canadian friends to get together, align with 🇨🇦’s sovereignty by shopping for items that state “product of Canada”. I’ve discovered lots of great products made by big and small 🇨🇦 companies. If you look you’ll find, and often the quality is superior, and local is fresher. My favourite food shop in Victoria “Urban Grocer” has tagged all their goods with a 🍁 or the origin. Every time I shop there I see less USA produce and more local and other origins. We can do this 🇨🇦! “Chek TV” did an interview in the store. Customers are on board! Go 🇨🇦!
We can reduce our dependence on Amazon and shop local, or shop direct with Canadian suppliers. I quit Prime and Netflix too. I may miss them but finding CBC Gem and Brit Box are good alternatives for now. And 🇨🇦 content!
For me the only small way I can stand up to Trump , his tariffs and his 51st state BS is by doing a few things. I am not anti-American, but I am Pro 🇨🇦 and shopping in 🇨🇦, traveling in 🇨🇦 and volunteering with the 🇨🇦 party who I believe can protect our sovereignty, our economy and our people from the madness of the maga man!
Canadians have a deep abiding love for 🇨🇦, always have! ❤️
🇨🇦 Elbows Up! 🇨🇦

WHoa Lindy!!! …you should be hosting a blog. Thanks so much for your words of inspiration & great ideas of how to promote Canadian 🇨🇦 values and economy. If we stand together, ‘🇨🇦 elbows up 🇨🇦’, we can weather the storm and emerge stronger on the other side. 🇨🇦 Go Canada Go 🇨🇦

Our RV will only go north, or maybe east for the next 4 years from Whistler. The steering mechanism avoids dangerous orange BLOBS, stupid orange facials and the hilariously incompetent orange ‘so called’ business man (6 business bankruptcies + soon to be one very large bankrupt country)
Everyone have a great spring and summer, stay safe and enjoy life as best as you can.
