Are you in favour of that? Just curious…The federal government is replacing its counter-tariffs on seafood with 50 per cent levies on a series of other American goods, according to Finance Minister Frankie Bubbles office. Newly added to Canada’s list of counter-tariffs include: Wood charcoal...

I did miss that whole thread that started and ended the same day on a Wednesday just over three weeks ago that only yourself posted into. Still missing it. Do you have an opinion on the CBC with the use of the term terrorist or terrorism since we’re coming up on the anniversary of 9/11 in the...

I’m not sure how official that really is, outside of Trumps MAGA-Stan with their cartographer in chief. The renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" is official only for the U.S. federal government and does not have any international recognition. I’m still waiting on the renaming...

The North American Free Trade Agreement struck in 1987 forbid any export taxes on any goods traded between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico — a clause that was maintained under the current Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement…that Trump doesn’t want to renew. The negotiations between the American and...

I see your San Diego Hasbara & raise you a CBC Hasbaralism.🃏 “CBC News does not itself designate specific groups as terrorists, or specific acts as terrorism, regardless of the region or the events, because these words are so loaded with meaning, politics and emotion that they can end up being...

Trump has decided to ignore international law by blowing up boats in the Caribbean, installing friendly puppets who will allow the U.S. to seize their resources and is now attempting to use economic coercion to try to force Canada to give up its sovereignty and accept a status as a kind of 21st...

So almost, but not quite, half a century ago, with a minority government, that lasted nine months. I actually forgot about him.

After the newest new Trump tariffs were imposed, California Gov Gavin Newsom – who is a Democrat – quickly took to social media to condemn the move, saying “What the actual fuck are we doing?” Newsom says Trump is “creating a lot of political pressure” for members of the Republican Party...

Does that change anything though? Steven Harper was able to become Prime Minister without Quebec., but can you name another Prime Minister that managed the same thing in your lifetime? The Carney government and the Trump administration have spent the last few days trading accusations over which...

So, does Trump have any chance of winning his trade war with Canada? The truth is that it’s hard even to figure out what a Trump win would mean in this context. Would it mean Canada agreeing to become the 51st state? That’s not going to happen Would it mean Canada giving up on French as a...

This below sounds so familiar somehow… http://apple.news/APahD2RxeQJ2koqtmKzpN1g Trump's threat to rename Lake Ontario comes after he changed the ⁠name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America last year…in his own mind anyway. Days after taking office, Trump II imposed steep tariffs on...
