We need to mobilize Canadian as well as Mexican partners to close in from the north and south. I’m certain, there are many who want to assist us. This is the fight for all our lives. Putin and Musk/Trump are aiming for world dominance.

Canadian citizens have already been boycotting American products (and without any urging from their govt, who also supports us). They are also cancelling all plans to travel to the US, esp in the Carolinas and Florida where they can make up to 40% of their total tourism dollars. (It's been making a huge impact; the affected owners of those US businesses here have been contacting their US senators/reps PLEADING with them to do something. Mexico's president has been standing right up against trump, and "to his face". There is also some evidence that Mexican citizens are also boycotting American products as are some Europeans. WE NEED TO DO THE SAME OURSELVES. On Feb 28 there is a national boycott happening. NO SHOPPING ALL DAY on amazon, apple, meta, tesla, etc., and other big companies capitulating to trump/musk. Only exception, small local businesses. But why wait till the? Money is the only thing driving these thieves. Cancel accounts. Put the squeeze on them. If we all do it it will get their attn. With the help along these lines we're getting from OUTSIDE our borders, it's the least WE can do!

Mrytle Beach is gonna be empty during the “Canadian Summer” which is usually March. Us southerners would marvel at how they hit the beach in swimwear when the winds caused a good sand blasting on you.

I lived in MB for 20 years, and a couple of the places I worked (Shaftsbury Glen golf course and another one off of 544 near Coastal Carolina) depended on the Canadian snow birds for business! So, it will be interesting to see what happens overall down there!

I wonder if (long shot) you possibly know a childhood friend who was a chef in MB, Gary Ross.

Where did he work? It sounds familiar; my husband was a chef at Ruth Chris.
