The OShow with Laura Babcock
POWERCAST: CANADIANS DOUBLE DOWN ON BOYCOTT 'NO US BOOZE ON SHELVES!' GREENLAND INVASION?
Season 1, Ep. 113
•
Despite the positive news surrounding our economy and the remarkable solidarity Canadians have shown in effectively boycotting the Trump Regime’s unjust tariffs and threats to our sovereignty, we face a troubling development. Prime Minister Mark Carney is considering bringing American booze back to our shelves! This is not just a misstep; it's a dangerous precedent that could undermine all the hard work and unity we've demonstrated.
Charlie Angus, host of Meidas Canada, and Laura Babcock OShow host, are strongly opposed to this idea. They are warning our government about the critical repercussions of capitulating to the demands of the U.S. at this crucial time. We cannot afford to weaken our stance or give in to a fascist bully! We must stand firm.
Furthermore, we need to be aware of bigger issues at play, such as Trump's alarming attempts to seize Greenland’s resources and the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Now is a pivotal moment for our country to show that we will not be intimidated.
Let’s stand together against this reckless idea! I urge you all to like, share, and comment—because we truly are in this together!
