From Arlene Dickinson:
I love this country, and I can’t sit by and watch this unfold without speaking up. I appreciate the engagement, opinions, and perspectives people have shared here. I know not everyone will agree with me. I know my opinion won’t always be the most popular. But I have a platform, and at this moment, I feel compelled to use it for what I believe in. I’m non-partisan—I’m speaking as someone who believes in our country. Not pro-Liberal. Not pro-Conservative. Pro-Canada.
Vladimir Putin just said that Trump will “restore order quickly” and that U.S. allies—including Europe—will “stand at the master’s feet and gently wag their tails.”
Let that sink in.
Putin is openly saying that Trump’s America isn’t about partnerships—it’s about submission. He sees a world where strength comes from domination, not cooperation. And if you’re wondering why another autocrat—who has spent decades trying to weaken Western alliances—is cheering this on, ask yourself: who benefits from a fractured and isolated Canada?
Trump is in office, and one of his first moves is to slap massive tariffs on us under the false pretense of fentanyl and border security.
And now, he’s not even hiding his real intentions:
“We don’t need anything they have. We have unlimited Energy, should make our own Cars, and have more Lumber than we can ever use. Without this massive subsidy, Canada ceases to exist as a viable Country. Harsh but true! Therefore, Canada should become our Cherished 51st State. Much lower taxes, and far better military protection for the people of Canada — AND NO TARIFFS!”
This was never about fentanyl. It was never about border security. It was always about power, control, and money. About breaking Canada’s economy and independence. About forcing us into submission.
Canada is already standing up for itself. We are pushing back. We are holding our line. Canadians across this country see what’s happening, and they aren’t staying silent. We are defending our independence, supporting retaliation, and refusing to be bullied.
I’ve felt enormous pride in how we as Canadians have quickly come together—using our voices and our wallets—to support Canadian businesses, Canadian jobs, and Canadian-made products. We are making choices that strengthen us, not weaken us.
Yes, it will be hard. Strengthening our economy, expanding our trade relationships, and securing our future isn’t going to happen without sacrifice. But we are doing exactly what we should be doing—standing up for ourselves and our beautiful, irreplaceable nation.
Our economy is under siege—and that leads to our sovereignty being at risk.
We must keep fighting. We must keep pushing back. And we must not let anyone, anywhere, other than Canadians, decide Canada’s future for us.
