10 years ago today @HillaryClinton nailed the bleak future ahead if Trump was elected.
“Clinton: Putin would rather have a puppet as president. You won't admit the Russians engaged in cyberattacks against the US, that you encouraged espionage against our people, that you spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants you to do.”
Every word is true. Tragically, his capitulation to Russia is even worse than imagined.

Trump: "Putin has no respect for this person."
Clinton: "That's because he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States. You're willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do."
October 19, 2016. She was right.

Interesting to hear that 71% of Canadians have been constant in their boycott of USA products and USA travel. It has now been over 6 months that we have stayed the course. Shows our determination and grit! Time for Canadian producers & sellers, to get in line and be clear about "made in Canada" designation, which is still fuzzy. Get with the program! Support Canadian farmers and businesses 🇨🇦

Even Fox Business News just destroyed Trump's stupid tariffs on Canada.
"We need more cooperation with our Canadian friends rather than picking these unnecessary and damaging fights. And this trade deficit that's got the White House in a lather comes mostly from heavy crude that we import that we need for gasoline and other products that we sell here and elsewhere. "We're shooting ourselves in the foot and also other places by putting a tariff on. It's just one of these inexplicable things, especially on a Monday morning, almost leaves one speechless at the absurdity and the destructiveness of the whole thing. Stop it, stop it. Stop it."

🚨Trump calls JB Pritzker a "dumb, stupid slob."
Just a reminder that JB Pritzker balanced the Illinois budget with a $0 deficit AND has signed relief for groceries and gas.
Trump is a 5th grade bully who apparently needs to look in the mirror.

Chantal Hébert: "What I see today is that those polls that show 75% of people backing Mark Carney are quite extraordinary. But the opposite is not true in the US. That is not happening to President Trump and his crew. No one is saying, 'Good for you. Please stand up to Canada and hit them more.' They are losing that PR battle at home."

Question for everyone wherever you live: do you think America can ever fully recover from this administration? Please answer and retweet thanks. 🤔

What a welcome, Prince Edward Island. ❤️🙏
We are incredibly grateful to The Guardian for sharing the story of our newest @Peacebychoco boutique at Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown — our first retail location outside Nova Scotia. This is only part of the article, read the full story on Saltwire/ the Guardian sites.
We have felt a special connection to the Island before even opening here. There is a generosity here. There is kindness here.
As I shared with The Guardian:
“We always found that the people of Prince Edward Island, they have such big hearts that they are sharing it with everyone.”
And perhaps our favourite part of the entire article came from a customer visiting from New Brunswick, Kelly Taylor, who shared something that touched us about Peace by Chocolate:
“It speaks Canada to me.”
Ten years after Peace by Chocolate began its Canadian journey in Nova Scotia, seeing our doors open in Charlottetown, the Birthplace of Confederation, feels surreal.
Thank you to everyone who has walked through our doors already.
And thank you to The Guardian and Vivian Ulinwa for telling this chapter of our story.
One Peace Won’t Hurt™
A new province. A new chapter. ❤️🍫
We are incredibly proud to see Peace by Chocolate’s first retail location outside Nova Scotia featured in The Guardian.
Charlottetown and PEI have already welcomed us with such big hearts. So grateful
