    And he's out

    It really is. If he wasn’t out being an unpredictable prick globally with special emphasis on Canada, Poilievre would have about 50% plus of the popular vote at this point, the NDP might not be afraid of losing official party status, & the Liberals probably would be…& the Bloc would be in a...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    Another Trudeau Liberal parting gift. Mr. Trudeau kicked Liberal senators out of his caucus in 2014 in a move he said was designed to make the Senate less partisan.🤣He has appointed 100 senators since he was elected Prime Minister in 2015 – though critics have questioned how truly independent...

    It’s 200+% like the trade deficit with Canada being 1/10th the population of the US being a Billion-Kajillion dollars then? If we do a combined dollar figure annually with the US & the spread in the deficit is less than 5%…& we’re 1/10th their population…that’s pretty much a Wash. PS: Toronto...

    http://apple.news/AyUISdub7Rp-adPpsW2fN-A A day after offering Canada a one-month reprieve on punishing, virtually across-the-board 25% tariffs, President Donald Trump has threatened new tariffs as soon as Friday on Canadian lumber and dairy products. It’s yet another twist in a serpentine trade...

    U.S. farmers are so dependent on Saskatchewan potash that they’ve been begging the Trump White House for a tariff exemption. The U.S. is only able to produce about 10 per cent of its domestic potash needs, with the rest coming from Canada. “No substitutes exist for potash as an essential plant...

    And he's out

    Still Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was entirely within his rights to ask the Governor General to prorogue Parliament in January, ruled the chief justice of the Federal Court in a first ever decision of its kind??? This got lost in all the Trump craziness… In a highly anticipated decision...

    New Zealand's High Commissioner to UK is fired after Trump comments

    Yeah, read that 12 hours ago. Tells me New Zealand doesn’t want to be in Trumps maliciously, vindictive crosshairs if his ego go bruised with the truth…that this independent nation would sack their own diplomat to the United Kingdom as opposed to face Trumps attention. Damn…leader of the “free”...

    U.S. President Donald Trump granted Canada and Mexico a significant reprieve from punishing 25-per-cent tariffs until April 2, the latest shift in a constantly-changing trade policy that has kept investors and allies unsure of what comes next???
