I think that was one of the news stories yesterday. Joly, who people look at, but don’t listen to, was cited as saying so much. Joly said Canadians have received positive feedback from American officials about efforts at the border. She noted the U.S. is a net exporter of guns, migrants and...

So, English Lib leadership “debate…” The Tuesday debate was largely polite and respectful, but Mr. Carney was challenged (?) when he said he would not immediately boost defence spending to 2 per cent of GDP, and for his sharp criticism of the Trudeau government’s economic management.😳 Ms. Gould...

So, you don’t want Carney as your PM? Neither do I. I also don’t want Trump dictating Canadian policy either.

The White House has clarified (???) that North America-wide tariffs are not a done deal, as many news headlines suggested following remarks Monday by U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump had been asked Monday whether he's proceeding with tariffs on Canada and Mexico, currently paused until March...

Trump is the American President, not the Canadian President. Doesn’t that irk you somewhat?

…& the other way too, but not right across the board on everything. Softwood lumber today, not after the 25% incoming, is already tariffed from Canada to America at 14%, so add another 25% & that’s 39%. If 25% across the board on Canadian goods comes into effect on March 4th, then on March 12th...

As an oil exporting nation, assuming you where not in the screwed position Canada is in…so like some other oil exporting nation, with multiple customers and access to them other than through America for the most part…would you rather drop your price 5% and sell your oil elsewhere, or be at the...

Cold as that sounds, that might be part of the answer.

Perhaps you could share this knowledge that Smith (& I’m assuming yourself) know with others because, frankly, I’m tired. Hell, the Newfoundland Premier could’ve been let in on this secret before he resigned today over this bullshit & crazy shifting goalposts. It’s becoming clear this was never...

Ugh…ok…who…who was trying to use triassic to cretaceous image to denote modern flooding from climate change, as opposed to humour with respect to… Key words being “some ocean-front property in Alberta” if you believe his bullshit. Maybe I should’ve stuck to a less Canadian cliché like “buy the...

Discount their units 10% & flood them into the American market, or try to, to compensate for Canada being about 10%-15% of the current North American market for these items….or scale back production by “at least” 10% across the board, or some combination of the two? Canada reciprocating on...

But, if tariffed at whatever percentage you wish to throw at it as an import tariff, the importer has to pay the tariff at the time of crossing, or it doesn’t cross. It’s not like it has no effect on anyone, & that importer has the pass that cost onto someone, like his customers, & he might...

That makes no sense whatsoever, and weirdly there are fossilized sea life at the top of Mount Everest, and it didn’t get there because of carbon taxes or what have you. Elevations change, & I’m not even pretending to know more than I do, which is just the tip of a knowledge iceberg, but nothing...

I’m also involved in cross border trade (the transport of such) to some extent. I’m in touch with customs Brokers on a regular basis also, and they don’t know what the hell is going on either, and all they know is that if/when reciprocal tariffs happen from Canada, CBSA & Canadian customs...

I know this is totally a sidetracked from this thread, but North America has had a seaway across it several different times, and the Canadian shield going east to west (more or less) across Canada was once a mountain range. Just throwing that out there. is there one of these that you like more...

I’ve been working my arse off beyond what I normally do which is working my arse off, for weeks & weeks, & I’m freaking tired. You may not be worried, but there’s many many that are.

Paywalled, but does it specifically say in there that: Or does it say something like this? A source familiar with the contents of the draft agreement said that it does not specify any U.S. security guarantees or continued flow of weapons but says that the United States wants Ukraine to be...

Is that what was agreed to? Are you sure? Do you have a link? Anything guaranteed there? On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was open to offering the US access to rare minerals, including from Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine.

What exactly did they agree to? Did Ukraine get any kind of security guarantees that it was looking for? I asked because I haven’t had time to look.

Nobody knows. Not you. Not me. Not Trump’s staff. Day to day I’m assuming Trump doesn’t know.
