    Ottawa to remove many federal exceptions from Canadian Free Trade Agreement

    Never been able to wear one of those. I can wear a helmet, hard hat, bandanna, etc…but never a ball cap ‘cuz it bugs me how much it limits my vision. The Conservatives might be right when they argue that Carney is the wrong port in a storm. It is certainly hard to look at our dire economic...

    Ottawa to remove many federal exceptions from Canadian Free Trade Agreement

    Why didn’t this happen in the last nine years? While Canada is rich in resources and opportunity, we are constrained by outdated regulatory frameworks that hinder progress. In 1956, the construction of the 2,300 km TransCanada Mainline took approximately two years. Today, natural gas...

    Mark Carney (Trudeau Liberal Replacement) as PM

    Liberal Leader Mark Carney lost the first French-language debate before it even started. The most-watched French-language network in Quebec organizes a parallel event to the French and English-language debates organized by the Leaders’ Debates Commission, both of which Carney will still...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    The U.S. was the second-largest destination for Venezuelan crude last year, importing about 233,000 bpd, according to Kpler.😳 Holy Crap! Trumps going to tariff America? (India purchased about 61,000 bpd and Spain bought nearly 60,000 bpd in 2024) http://apple.news/AGvEW0O8qSL6e10PejI_HoA

    You have a tax “service” & we have a tax “agency” & that’s the confusion.

    The Tarriff Hype.

    President Donald Trump said Monday that the U.S. will impose 25% tariffs on countries that buy oil and gas from Venezuela, as he seeks to increase pressure on President Nicolas Maduro and China. Countries that buy oil and gas from Venezuela will face tariffs on any trade they have with the...

    Pierre Poilievre

    …& now 10 days later during an election…? For the Liberals, gone are the days of talking up NDP-driven policy (pharmacare, dental care) and gender balance. Even those policies and their politics aimed at putting Tories on the spot--the consumer price on carbon, the capital gains tax changes...

    Ottawa to remove many federal exceptions from Canadian Free Trade Agreement

    Ottawa will attempt to remove… Yeah, they’ve been in power for almost a decade so far at this point. After visiting the Governor General Sunday to initiate a federal election, Carney made sure to put distance between himself and the Trudeau years. Carney’s first comment at a press conference...

    Would you prefer that each person in the GTA & GVA each got two votes to your one? Something like that?

    Canada 51st State

    I could tell everyone here from my first hand experience, that most (international hauling) truckers are running their literal arses off trying to get as much goods from Canada into the US, & from the US into Canada (within the boundaries of common sense and the hours of service rules) before...

    Mark Carney (Trudeau Liberal Replacement) as PM

    Not Chandra Arya from under the bus. On Sunday, freshly-minted Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Governor General Mary Simon at Rideau Hall triggering a federal election which will send Canadians to the ballot boxes on April 28. Parliament that Justin Trudeau prorogue’d in early January is now...

    But they still managed to reserve a spot under that bus for Chandra Arya. The campaign, however, did have enough time to brand its tour buses. http://apple.news/AWC7L_KWHTEmVVoM0XQ2IpA

    It’s based on one person one vote & we just don’t live in that dog pile density wise through much of the rest of the country. I get what you’re saying, but this is the way that it is.

    Canada’s Military current state & equipment

    As production increases, the costs may drop. Nevertheless, all evidence to date indicates that we would pay over $120 million per aircraft, rather than $75 million." At $75-$120 million per F35, should we have to be “fixing” them immediately? Ottawa’s move to reevaluate the F-35 buy comes as...

    Mark Carney (Trudeau Liberal Replacement) as PM

    Both Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and Liberal Leader Mark Carney kicked off their election campaigns promising change. It’s easy to see how Poilievre would be change after more than nine years of this Liberal government, it’s harder to see how Carney would bring change while leading the...
