Or, it’s a great sound-bite for Ford, who literally is next-door to Quebec and knows the reality of the situation (?) but makes him sound reasonably reasonable?

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer says there is a gap between the Canada and U.S. administrations’ trade philosophies? http://apple.news/AHADfkKNGStanqNNqQRaKWg “They’re doubling down on globalization when we’re trying to correct for the problems of globalization,” he added. “So those...

The Trump administration is demanding what amounts to an "entry fee" from Canada to engage in trade talks toward a revised Canada-United States-Mexico Free Trade Agreement (CUSMA), four sources told Radio-Canada. "The Americans are setting conditions before negotiations begin," said one...

Uh, ok. Anyway, happy Wednesday! Iran seized two ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday, tightening its grip on the strategic waterway after Donald Trump called off attacks indefinitely with no sign of peace talks restarting. As he announced what appeared to be a unilateral ceasefire...

The Port of Prince Rupert is Canada’s third-busiest seaport, behind Vancouver and Montreal.🤫

Hmmm…how could something like that happen? Recently Irving has turned to Newfoundland for crude as the war on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz blockade has cut off supplies. Hmmm…that’s what I understand also…and on that note, at a panel in Ottawa this week, Premier Doug Ford urged Irving...

Now, if only there was somewhere on that coast in Canadian waters that happened to have or be naturally a deep water port, & way less traffic, and didn’t have existing bridges that would either have to be redesigned or limit the height of tanker traffic…an already existing rail line, etc…like…...

Which one (which Christmas I mean)? Is this a Tuesday? It feels like a Tuesday…. http://apple.news/ALktfvtSSStGzzDtdqn2LnA President Trump said that the U.S. will extend its cease-fire with Iran and continue the blockade of the country’s ports until its leaders present “a unified proposal.” The...

Shit…I thought Pgs was talking about the Americans back in post#803 with Trump fighting with Congress and the Senate and the upcoming midterm elections, etc….but I guess it fits for both sides. My bad.

How long does cease fire supposed to last? How long the whole war was supposed to last seven weeks ago? I just didn’t understand the reference is all. It’s not at the four years into a three day war period yet…but it sure doesn’t feel like anything that’s going to end quickly.

"So far, no delegation from Iran has departed for Islamabad, Pakistan," Iranian state TV said on Tuesday, dismissing reports suggesting otherwise. Both sides have accused the other of ceasefire breaches, with the US leader saying Iran fired on ships in the crucial trade route it has choked...

That’s a good point. I understand these carriers move at about jogging speed, but 36hrs isn’t three days. Somewhat, in a full capacity bottleneck sorta way I guess, and with Vancouver already being North America’s biggest urban clear cut, dredging out the harbour and strait leading to it...

As it stands, Alberta is set to revert to standard time on Nov. 1. Saskatchewan effectively stopped observing daylight saving time (DST) six decades ago in 1966. The province passed the Time Act that year to establish a uniform, year-round time, largely to avoid the confusion of a "patchwork"...

The federal government is eyeing a new oil pipeline route in southern British Columbia that some in Ottawa believe would face fewer environmental hurdles and less resistance from Indigenous groups than the northern route Alberta is proposing, two federal sources say. Prime Minister Mark Carney...

A spokesperson for Quebec’s Transport Ministry told us the premier does fly private — but on chartered flights. There is no government plane for the premier’s exclusive travel, according to a spokesperson for the premier’s office. They said the jets Ford was referring to are used for medical...

Meh…day 53 I think, & it’s the same threats, same denials, same posturing, same…same, at this point.

Sorry, my wires were crossed and I’ve never been to Fond du Lac, but I’ve been to the end of the road that leads to it, and that’s an absolute shit hole. La Loche, SK (been here about 50 times, but not for a few decades). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Loche My oldest brother worked at the...
