    The Tarriff Hype.

    The Wall Street Journal featured an editorial in its weekend edition declaring that if Donald Trump went ahead with his plan to impose tariffs on America’s two biggest trading partners, it would constitute “the dumbest trade war in history.” He did, and it is. The Journal’s argument, which...

    By seat count, I think the Libs would have 18.6%…but I could be wrong. Both are still less than 1 in 5 Canadians.

    Ontario stops selling American alcohol

    Thankfully, there is more to alcohol than beer, & hopefully the market to replace American alcohol on Canadian shelves will open to Mexico with a dramatic increase in trade there…. Because there’s all kinds of interesting Mexican liquors that we just can’t get out here on the prairies.

    It’s CBC, fishing to see if they’re gonna have jobs next year. Most of them won’t “unless”….a federal election doesn’t happen in Canada this year. If either Carney comes in as the unelected Prime Minister, or Trudeau doesn’t leave regardless of his commitment towards an intention towards...

    Pierre Poilievre

    CBC…gotta love their bias. Who…who would have a mandate of the majority of Canadians to deal with Trump & Tariffs on behalf of Canada & Canadians? Yeah….CBC, that was a totally relevant question to ask if the guy who (if an election was to be held this afternoon) would (by seat count in...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    Former & briefly British PM Liz Truss discusses Mark Carney: She doesn’t seem to be a big fan, but that’s only due to first hand experience I guess. (For Tec, YouTube & “LILLEY UNLEASHED: Former British PM weighs in on Mark Carney’s banking reputation”)

    The Tarriff Hype.

    If America (via Trump) is attacking Mexico & Canada…more so that China that’s the ‘C’ in BRICS…is affiliating ourselves with the BRICS & EU (& Mexico and Canada more closely with each other) part of the solution to divesting at least partially away from the US? Does that currency have to...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Single currency with whom? The US? Mexico? The US & Mexico? The US is tariffing Canadian & Mexican goods supposedly as of today (yesterday actually) for the privilege of being physically connected to the US and thus naturally America’s largest trading partners. Would that be in our (or Mexico’s)...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    (This is ‘before’ the US election & Trumps tariff announcement now that he’s in power) He has not threatened Australia with tariffs yet…just say’n…back in October, Sheinbaum proposed the strength of the treaty, of the USMCA," responded the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, in her morning...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    …& the retaliatory tariffs, while parliament is on hold through proroguation, have been called by the lame duck “supposedly outgoing” yet still PM in a minority gov’t situation without (I’m assuming) consulting with the opposition parties who currently represent the majority of Canadians. (He’s...

    Gulf of America

    I’ve heard that Denmark is proposing to call it the ‘Gulf of Denmark’ honouring the first Europeans to discover America. Doubt they’re surrendering Greenland to the US.

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    Anywho, Mark Carney & the Carbon Tax(‘s). On Friday, Carney told enthralled Liberals as he announced his “new” climate change plan, “I’m not a politician. I’m becoming a politician, but I’m not a politician,” apparently unaware that this is exactly how politicians talk – in doubletalk. Warming...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    While they purge their parties of anyone that was involved in supporting the Trudeau/Singh non-coalition coalition that definitely wasn’t a coalition-type coalition? Anyone that was involved in the last decade of Liberal scandals and graft and ethical shenanigans…or voted in lockstep to keep...

    Justin Trudeau's son Xavier, 17, set to release music

    This is 3rd (or 4th) generation of it with the Trudeau name…& hopefully for the boy (the youngest one), he got what the great grandfather had.
