"Interference is one thing," Smith told the Alberta legislature on Monday. "Asking the US to refrain from [tariffs] is actually the opposite. I do not want to see anyone interfere in our elections."Danielle Smith: The Canadian Conservative trying to sweet talk Trump - BBC News

But…but…the Liberals, meanwhile, have used it as political ammunition to bolster their attack line that Trump and Poilievre are too similar for Canadians who want to stand up to the US.
Poilievre, for his part, has attempted to dodge these attacks on the campaign trail. Asked about Smith's remarks, he said: "People are free to make their own comments. I speak for myself."

Not, “Keep Carney away from unscripted questions or situations where unscripted questions may occur, & stay on script for one more month…”…??? You think that’s not the Liberal plan?
Sure they do. Lie, cheat, and steal.. Just like they have every election since confederation.
True dat. I am already tired of election bullshit. Politicians should not be allowed to put up signs or campaign, or do media interviews until 1 week before the vote. And voting day should be carved in stone. No more voting at the whim of the current PM.
One more I want to add to that that affects many of us is, anyone currently holding any elected office that resigns to run in a different election must pay the entire cost of the by election for their former seat, regardless of the outcome of the current election. There are several in BC that currently are provincial or muni politicians that are seeking federal office. Some have barely been in for a year. This costs local taxpayers a minimum of $100 000 to fill that vacancy for no good reason except someone's ego boost.

It’s reported that advance-party administration officials went door to door in Greenland trying to find a local family who would be pleased to welcome Usha and her large adult son Mike Waltz into their humble dwelling – presumably in order that they could say something like: “Wow, what a beautiful humble home you have. Be a real shame if anything happened to it …”
Strangely, no such family was forthcoming. It’s almost as if people in Greenland have the internet, and are able to read or watch the constant and intensifying statements on their country’s potential annexation by the covetous US president, Donald Trump. “It’s an island … that we need,” observed Trump with chilling mildness earlier this week. “And we’re going to have to have it.”
Further matter-of-fact justifications have been repeatedly forthcoming. “We need greater national security purposes [sic],” ran another. “I’ve been told that for a long time, long before I even ran [for president]. People really don’t even know that Denmark has any legal right to it, but if they do, they should give it up because we need it for national security.” Spoken with all the kindly rationale of the school bully explaining you should give up your lunch money because he needs it.

Trump has promised to unveil a massive tariff plan on Wednesday, which he has dubbed "Liberation (from America pockets) Day." He has already imposed tariffs on aluminum, steel and autos, along with increased tariffs on all goods from China.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that reciprocal tariffs he is set to announce this week will include all nations, not just a smaller group of 10 to 15 countries with the biggest trade imbalances.
"Looks like we're going to tariff Guatemala," Trump said with a smile. "We're going after bananas.
Guatemala has taken advantage of the United States with its banana trade for too long and I'm going to make them pay."

US doesn't need Greenland. For what? To defend N. America from Russia? Why when the chimps say Putin and Trump are such good buddies? Are they going to divide it up like they will Ukraine?(Didn’t the US sign something similar with Ukraine regarding surrendering nuclear weapons?)
I wonder how much bananas go for perpoundkilogram in Greenland?
Alas, it seems that the sheer obnoxiousness of the Vances’ trailed visit was the thing that fatally repulsed the locals, leaving US organisers with no choice but to commute the trip down to just one secure base visit.Page Analysis » Selina Wamucii

The art of the deal. Anyway, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that reciprocal tariffs he is set to announce this week will include all nations, not just a smaller group of 10 to 15 countries with the biggest trade imbalances.

Trumps tariff threats are like a broken metronome being kicked around the room by a pack of six year olds in their consistency.
