Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?

Fact: Canada has a brave and professional military. It has deployed into combat with us many times, including D-Day. Canadian troops, under my NATO command, faced intense fire in Afghanistan where many were killed in action. I honor their memory and salute them. 🇨🇦 yahoo.com/news/politics/arti…

Pew: only 33% now have a favorable opinion of the U.S. (54% in 2024).

They now rate China higher than the United States.
81% of Canadians describe the relationship as negative.
That’s not a mood swing. That’s a structural break.
Books change lives. The books donated by Wrentham Library are now on the shelves of the community library in Zebak, Afghanistan and in the hands of young readers. Every child deserves the opportunity to read 💜
