I'm familiar with Campaign Life Coalition. From glancing at their website, I'm guessing that 4 MY Canada is basically a group of evangelical young Christians who are pushing others to support PP's PCs and the socially conservative agenda?

At the time, I thought the conspiracy theories were pretty ridiculous, but it seems odd that so little info has come out since then.

As a Canadian living in a hilly town in a snowbelt region, I will say that if someone is going too slow, you sometimes cannot get enough momentum to get up snow-covered hills. BUT that is really only an issue when people are going well below the speed limit (like 20 km/h -- about 10 miles).

A family friend has been doing her doctorate at an American university since September. She is nervous about coming back home for Easter -- it no longer feels certain that she will be allowed back into the U.S. to continue her studies. Also not sure if grant funding for her program will continue.

Great example from Mr. Beast of how insane it was for Trump to hit raw food with tariffs Ingredients that grow abroad are getting more expensive—a Feastables bar has sugar (hit by a 10% tariff), chocolate (6-15%), cocoa butter (21%), & vanilla (41%)—and those tariffs also hit coffee, fish, etc

A tweet from Mr. Beast that reads “Ironically because of all the new tariffs it is now way cheaper to make our chocolate bars we sell globally not in America because other countries don’t have a 20% tariff on our cogs” A graph of major raw foods hit by trumps April 2nd tariff increases

Yet, I see social media posts (including from a cousin) that talk about how Zelenskyy was acting "like an ingrate" and "threw a tantrum". So now I am equally disturbed by what happened there and that we are so far apart in our interpretation of the same event. I probably shouldn't be surprised but..
