Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Canada's Strength - "Canadians Know Naming Reality"

I began this week writing about how sorry I am as a US citizen, a Michigander, and a Lost Canadian - and just as a human - for the despicable, shameful words and actions coming from the toddler-in-chief in the White House with his likely illegal, and certainly uncalled for tariffs on our dear neighbors, friends, and family in Canada. I grew up in, and continue to live in Michigan, so all my life I've viewed Canada as a wonderful neighbor and friend. Now I know I'm a "Lost Canadian", I also see Canada as my family (I have at least 15 ancestors from Canada since 1800 - mostly from Ontario, but also Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia - it is possible some of them were Mi'kmaq!) 

Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Canada's Strength - Developing Diverse Trade Relationships with the World

As I've been writing this week, I grew up in, and continue to live in Michigan, so all my life I've viewed Canada as a wonderful neighbor and friend. Now I know I'm a "Lost Canadian", I also see Canada as my family (I have at least 15 ancestors from Canada since 1800 - mostly from Ontario, but also Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia - it is possible some of them were Mi'kmaq!) 

At any rate, the past week has clearly shown no matter how many "tantrums" are thrown by the toddler-in-chief in the White House, the evidence shows Canada is strong and united. As I've been saying, of course, even if I were not a "Lost Canadian", as a Michigander I find the things trump and his minions are saying are beyond insulting to Canada and shameful for the supposed "leader" of the US, but I am SO impressed by the strength and unity we continue to see from Canada. 

I have been writing this week about just some of the things I've learned online which show Canada's great strength - in no particular order as they all are significant ways Canada shows its great strength - today I'm writing about how Canada wisely has made the choice to diversify their trade relationships with the world.

The past few days have clearly shown no matter how many "tantrums" are thrown by the toddler-in-chief here in the US, the bully in the White House, the evidence shows Canada is strong and united. Of course, even if I were not a "Lost Canadian", as a Michigander I find the things trump and his minions are saying are beyond insulting to Canada and shameful for the supposed "leader" of the US, but I am SO impressed by the strength and unity we are seeing from Canada. 

As I've said, I grew up and live in Michigan, Canada is our close neighbor and friend, and as a "Lost Canadian", Canada is also my family, so this week I'm very happy to write about just some of the things which show Canada's great strength - in no particular order as they all are significant ways Canada shows its great strength - today I'm writing about how the entire world sees Canada for the strong country they are.

Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Canada's Strength - Their Unity

The toddler-in-chief here in the US, the bully in the White House claims Canada is weak and would not survive without the US. Once again he is talking about making Canada the "51st State" by annexing Canada. Of course, even if I were not a "Lost Canadian", as a Michigander I find this type of talk beyond insulting to Canada and shameful for the supposed "leader" of the US. 

I grew up and live in Michigan, Canada is our close neighbor and friend, and as a "Lost Canadian", Canada is also my family, so this week I'm very happy to write about just some of the things which show Canada's great strength - in no particular order as they all are significant ways Canada shows its great strength - today I'm writing about the unity Canadians showing by how they are responding to trump's tariffs and Carney's response.

Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Canada's Strength - Global Leadership in Peace and Technology

The toddler-in-chief here in the US, the bully in the White House claims Canada is weak and would not survive without the US. Of course, even if I were not a "Lost Canadian", as a Michigander I absolutely know the things he says about Canada are completely not true in the least. I grew up and live in Michigan, Canada is our close neighbor and friend, and as a "Lost Canadian", Canada is also my family, so this week I'm very happy to write about just some of the things which show Canada's great strength - in no particular order as they all are significant ways Canada shows its great strength - starting today with how Canada is a Global Leader, especially when it comes to Peace and Technology.

Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About the Tariffs Showing Canada's Strength

As a citizen of the US and a nearly lifetime resident of Michigan - making me a Michigander, I have always viewed Canada as a close friend and neighbor. Learning I am a "Lost Canadian", I now also see Canada as family. So, I've watched with horror and shame for the past nearly two years as the massively corrupt convicted felon/sexual abuser, war criminal, likely pedophile who currently occupies the White House continues to insult Canada by calling it our 51'st State and saying they rely on us for their existence, and as he illegally imposes tariffs on Canada. I am SO sorry to all my Canadian neighbors, friends, and family. Please know many of us here in the US are appalled, disgusted, angered, and ashamed of these tariffs being imposed by trump - and everything he says and does. Many of us did NOT vote for him and are shocked and disgusted to see so many in this country did.

Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About Attending College in Canada as a Canadian

On the news this morning in the USA I heard about how the government is ending Student Loan programs and people with student loans are at grave risk of having their monthly payments balloon significantly. While I do not have any student loans, my grandchildren are nearing the age of when they may go to college - I am so happy to know since I am a "Lost Canadian", so are they. This means they have the option of attending college in Canada once we receive our Canadian citizenship. So, today I'm sharing with you what I'm learning about attending college in Canada as a Canadian . . .
