    The Tarriff Hype.

    Interesting, if that’s what happened. Trudeau has yet to step down, but your theoretical three months have not passed yet. He has announced an attention to step down, which isn’t stepping down, as of yet. Trump is also threatening tariffs in so many different directions with so many different...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    I agree, once a new Canadian Govt is allowed to happen after an election is allowed to happen, and there’s now guarantee on when that’s allowed to happen. It’s all in the air at this point, & Jagmeet’s loyalty to anyone but himself is no guarantee whatsoever. An election call in late May is not...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Deadline is a threat. Trade is a negotiation. Trump got what he wanted on the fenty/Dot-not-Feather front…but the tariff talk didn’t go away, but shifted to “Trade Deficit” as reasoning…& that sounds like negotiation. Aggressive negotiation, but negotiation. Canada is on tenterhooks as Donald...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    The president-elect has claimed the U.S. is subsidizing Canada to the tune of $200 billion per year, through a combination of trade deficit, military spending, and other measures. He has threatened to implement a 25-per-cent tariff on Canadian goods when he is inaugurated on Jan. 20, which has...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    House Leader Karina Gould said she would represent a "new generation" (?) if elected Liberal leader, making her bid to replace Justin Trudeau official Saturday afternoon? The Liberal party has clarified some of the rules for its coming leadership race. Candidates can pay the $350,000 entrance...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    What on earth do posturing and optics have to do with reality? Well, why do you think this talk of tariffs hasn’t gone away a month ago? Why do you think the premiers are meeting with even lame duck Trudeau about tariffs this week? Why do you think Trump hasn’t pulled back his tariff threat...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Ugh….Have you listened to anything in the last month with respect to Trump? He’s gotten what he wants for a commitment from Canada on the border with respect to immigration and drugs…but…it hasn’t stopped his “negotiation” with Canada on tariffs, has it? First, he was saying a $100 billion...

    Canadian Federal Election Outcome October 20th (or 27th?), 2025.

    Why doesn’t Trudeau just allow Canadians to say who stands with Canada, & who has a mandate to deal with Donald Trump? Oh yeah, right. Better prorogue Parliament, put the country on hold, hold a liberal leader-type leadership race, etc…as the American Government isn’t handcuffed by Justin...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    That was then, but now… …but it hasn’t gone away, and… 10% also doesn’t obviously have a “5” in it like “25%” does…so it won’t be compared like 25% if settled at 5%, etc…& what number do you think it’ll settle at now that the tariffs aren’t focused on borders & drugs & immigration?

    The Tarriff Hype.

    A mental happy medium, so that Canada feels like it wins at not being tariffed at 25% on everything, & Trump as a new again president can show his base and country that he and they have also won by getting to pay more for Canadian products. It’s a negotiation, so both sides have to show that...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    React in hindsight like always? 25% on everything will turn into 10% on some things. One of those “some things” isn’t going to be the petroleum industry, but it’s gonna be drawn in to firewall ON & QB.

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Smith says No to Team Canada and this unleashes a cross-country temper tantrum, appearing to be mostly people who hate conservatives and hate Smith already. So selfish says Trudeau. Not a team player. The premier is trying to explain why she is doing what she is doing and why many Albertans feel...

    Kelly McParland: How decades of Liberal indifference created Danielle Smith

    Whoopsies, oh well. Chrystia Freeland cannot escape responsibility for Canada’s uncompetitive recent economic performance, declining per capita disposable income, soaring federal deficit, chronic net capital outflows and our descent down the ladder of the world’s prosperous countries. Mark...

    He’s still pretty funny though, or was when he still had his mind and pulse. I liked him..

    Pacific Palisades Fire

    He had one hell of a sense of humour, & I enjoy stumbling across him telling jokes on YouTube, or stories with a punch line, etc…

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    I’ve seem to recall reading recently that the whole Christy Clark thing, she had to surrender her liberal membership to get her conservative membership, for that month or whatever in 2022, and then she had to surrender that conservative membership to get her liberal membership back….& I have no...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    I honestly have no idea. I do have Google though, let me play for a little bit and see if I can actually find an answer to that question.

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    Last week, the Liberal party detailed its new requirements for party membership and, accordingly, for voting for its new leader in March. It claimed the changes would protect “the integrity of our democratic process,” but the measures are blatantly insufficient to ensure that the next prime...

    And he's out

    I can totally see where these two could be confused though, & there’s so many scandals with so much baggage from the liberals, that they do tend to run together… This is from four or five years ago, one outsider to another, etc…

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Israel's government has approved the new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal with Hamas, paving the way for it to take effect on Sunday. The decision came after hours of discussions that continued late into the night. Two far-right ministers voted against the deal. The security cabinet...
