“Your good new story for the day.
I just received a message from a landlord in Florida. He has lost over $30,000 in rentals since Canadians began the boycott.
Canadians are doing their part.
LET’S TAKE THE BOYCOTT INTERNATIONAL.
We invite allied nations to boycott all things American.” via Charlie Angus, MP Timmins-James BayUS Tariffs Spark Devastating Canadian Travel Boycott Threatening Michigan’s Tourism Industry – Travel And Tour World https://www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article/us-tariffs-spark-devastating-canadian-travel-boycott-threatening-michigans-tourism-industry/

A bit of news from Europe. This shows a strong rejection of EM and what’s happening.
“Tesla sales are in free fall in Europe right now … Tesla sales in France fell by a thumping 63.4 percent. And it gets even worse: In Spain, Tesla sales plummeted by 75.4 percent.”

Our northern Ontario M.P. Charlie Angus. is in Brussels today for the NATO parliamentary meetings. Everybody is trying to cope with the shock waves sent by Vance’s horrible speech in Munich and the general Trump-Putin collusion.
In his substack post “On Yeats, Trump and Putin” Charlie quotes from Yeats’ The Second Coming, including the lines well known to us: “And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”
I recommend Charlie Angus/The Resistance substack for all Louise Penny readers because I know that all of us: American, Canadian, British, French are on the same side.

I am really enjoying posts and comments from Charlie Angus! He nails it!

More good news: Republicans are starting to break rank
“Republican leaders who support Ukraine are trying to smooth over Trump’s apparent coziness with Russia. Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker (R-MS) called out Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s “rookie mistake” when he offered that the U.S. would not support Ukraine’s membership in NATO and that it was “unrealistic” for Ukraine to demand a return to its borders before Russia invaded in 2014, essentially offering to let Russia keep Crimea. Wicker said he was “puzzled” and “disturbed” by Hegseth’s comments and added: “I don’t know who wrote the speech—it is the kind of thing Tucker Carlson could have written, and Carlson is a fool.” Carlson, a former Fox News Channel personality, has expressed admiration for Orbán and Putin.
“There are good guys and bad guys in this war, and the Russians are the bad guys,” Wicker said. “They invaded, contrary to almost every international law, and they should be defeated. And Ukraine is entitled to the promises that the world made to it.””

The good news in this is not the loss of money, but the loss of power and influence on his social media platform.
