Anyone in 🇨🇦 think JustinTrudeau has the backbone to stand up for us and make a Canada first option? Nope. Need to appear and give $$$ to UN and other orgs to get world recognition. If they only knew how our spineless leaders are turning their backs on Canada

PRESIDENT BIDEN RIGHT NOW IS SAYING UNIONS ARE THE BACKBONE OF AMERICA. BUT BECAUSE OF HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER KILLING THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE. HE IS PUTTING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THOSE UNION WORKERS ONTO UNEMPLOYMENT. DOUBLE TALKING THE UNIONS.

Ah yes Biden selling out to China by... encouraging the purchase of domestic products

Trump played lip service to American Jobs. Only Biden has the executive experience and leadership to actual make it happen! THIS is how you lead.

Sounds pretty inward looking and nationalist, Trump would be proud.
