This is carrying the โ€˜jokeโ€™ too far: the casual disrespect, the poor tax math, and ignoring that workers on both sides of our border will be better off if we work together. Time to call it out, stand up for Canada, and build a true North American partnership ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ

This moment from @KamalaHarrisโ€™ questioning of Brett Kavanaugh at his Senate hearing has never left me. "Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body?" https://t.co/j9hBdCF3xG
