Canada is such a diverse country today, with so many ethnic groups. Some believe in inoculations, and some do not. Mennonites were mentioned being one, but through all fairness, many other “religions” are not on board and will take their chances. COVID thinking was the same, and, we all know those results. However, for the good health of so many, to the few that oppose is a call I dont have to make. However, when I went to school, there was no question of why or should. It was mandatory. Period!!

Today, I’m just an opinionated Canadian writer with time on my hands. The world is a different place today, including the Donald Trump saga that ‘keeps on giving.’ That alone gives me lots to write and comment on. Check out more of my stories at … flippen.ca

CanadaPolitics@lemmy.ca•Trump says he's ending trade talks with Canada over TV ads
3·21 days agoCanada should be shutting down talks with the U.S. Why is Canada playing Trump’s stupid head game??? Let’s put things in perspective, did you know, Canada ‘‘WAS’’ America’s second-largest trading partner before this Trump fiasco.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Ottawa limits how many American vehicles Stellantis and GM can import tariff-free
2·21 days agoTesla was boycotted by Canadian consumers, and I’m sorry to say, ‘and with a lot of sadness,’ this will be my last GM product in my driveway. As a trucker once said, “How do you like me now?”
I don’t know why Trump is whining; that ad was heard by millions of U.S. citizens years ago. Today it’s only an expensive rerun but on by the Ontario government. What’s the problem?

Canada@lemmy.ca•Trump says he's terminating trade negotiations with Canada over Ontario anti-tariff ad
43·22 days agoHe is not a politician with grace; he is a whiner with a baby attitude, one who also gets mad when he doesn’t get his own way. All I can say is, what a sad situation the Americans are in.

Ontario@lemmy.ca•Can a Steel Roll-Down Storefront Door Be a Smart Security Choice? - flippen.ca
13·27 days agowell, I knew there would be skeptics. Thanks for reading it anyway.
What I don’t understand is, if a crown corporation is losing billions of dollars, someone is not doing their job. Roll some heads, starting with Doug Ettinger, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Canada Post,
There is always more to the story, but Trump will be basking in his glory. I told ya Canada was …!!!
“I hope to see you again some time.” Honestly, I hope so to.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Researchers are projecting more cancer cases. Is Canada ready?
1·2 months agoDid you know that if you’ve made it as far as 70 years old and you go to your JP for a physical, he will tell you that after the age of 65 doctors don’t do exams anymore or blood tests for cancer. No wonder by 2050 or sooner, the number of cancer cases and deaths will rise

Canada@lemmy.ca•Microsoft says U.S. law takes precedence over Canadian data sovereignty
51·3 months agoThe proof is in what you say goes back a few years, when the United States Government issued a legal request to Blackberry cellphones to divulge client information, and they said ‘flat out … no.’ Today they are no longer a cell company. however, Microsoft complied, and you know where they are today. Take that any way you want, but I’m just glad I live in Canada.
this is not surprising, the Federal and Provincial governments ‘decommissioned and surplus’ auction house is run by the American firm. They seem to get first dibs on items and with the 30 percent exchange rate.

7·3 months agoI gave this comment before, but how come we do not buy fruits and vegetables from Cuba instead of the U.S.? I know the US. the propaganda machine keeps running Cuba down and still upset from 60 years ago; however, they are tropical, they have fertile land, and they need the money. What is the problem???

4·3 months agoI think Donald Trump arranged a plan B (place to live) with his buddy Vladimir just in case things don’t work out for him in the United States






There is not one Canadian who didn’t like the States or its people; however, your President alienated Canada in its first term, and most of us got over it. But for a high-end dignitary holding a grudge and threatening Canada with a military takeover in his second term, that doesn’t sit well with Canadians. We were brothers and sisters, we were family before. So in essence, I’m not sure about you folks, but friends and family do not shit on their own. It’s like cornering a dog with no place to go; someone is going to get hurt, and changes will be made along the way. Too bad you Yanks are so wrapped up in your ‘president’, you don’t see a storm coming.
