    Facing a global market meltdown, President Donald Trump on Wednesday abruptly backed off his tariffs on most nations for 90 days even as he further jacked up the tax rate on Chinese imports to 125%. It was seemingly an attempt to narrow what had been an unprecedented trade war between the U.S...

    Are they…90 minutes ago (?) or are they now (?) or will they be still in another 90 minutes? http://apple.news/AJLWdu6E1R22nX5Mtsr0Flw Above is now for a while, while below is sooo two hours ago… Who knows? Depends on the time of day, & the way the stars align, & the size of Trumps prostrate...

    Mark Carney (Trudeau Liberal Replacement) as PM

    Carney vows to make Canada an energy superpower, proposes faster project reviews…somehow…but with half-arsed versions of what the Conservatives would do, and with Liberal caveats attached, to escape actually having to do what they (Liberals) say in the event they win the election...

    Mark Carney (Trudeau Liberal Replacement) as PM

    On Monday, federal officials released information showing that China was “targeting” Carney with an information campaign. The details revealed that the targeting was a co-ordinated effort by the Chinese government and state-owned media outlets to push a positive narrative about Carney to Chinese...

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

    Thank you. Either through cuts to current programs & government spending, combined with borrowed/printed money using natural resources for collateral, would be my assumption. A combination of the two, so as not to dramatically increase taxation, would be the best bet, but who’s promising that...

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

    Mark Carney is stealing Conservative campaign promises, which isn’t by itself a bad thing because theirs are better than his. Lower taxes, less government spending and fewer bureaucrats, more affordable housing, quicker approval of major projects, better national defence, pipelines east and...

    China retaliated against new U.S. tariffs Wednesday, hours after Washington imposed a 104 per cent levy on Chinese goods, as a trade war between the world’s two largest economies threatened to spin out of control. In a statement, the Chinese Finance Ministry said a new 84 per cent tariff would...

    While Canada isn't being targeted by Trump's global tariffs, the country is being hit by U.S. automobile, steel and aluminum tariffs and still faces the ongoing threat of economywide fentanyl-related tariffs. Ottawa added to its retaliatory measures today in response to the automobile duties by...

    Mark Carney (Trudeau Liberal Replacement) as PM

    On that note….Liberals are also attracting big crowds, but in lesser numbers which they claim is because their rallies are announced relatively at the last minute. The Richmond rally, for instance, saw 2,000 people in a hotel conference room and another 400 people in an overflow room.😯 (That vs...

    It’s only April 8th so far. 1383 days to go in this current term, assuming he doesn’t take a 3rd term.

    Didn’t say they should be. Was wondering if Trump was just trying to get a jump on anew Chinese territory before it officially became one.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Uh, yeah, ok. It matters to you (?) or it matters in general? That: Thing here. Coming from the non-religious guy who is just curious about all the subdivisions, who is the real God believer who’s the God-Lite believer, etc…does it make them less of a country (?) or less attacked Oct 7th, etc….?

    No idea. Is the US getting a jump on things with Taiwan before it becomes part of China?

    China was already set to see tariffs increase by 34% on Wednesday as part of Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs package. But the president tacked on another 50% after Beijing didn’t back off its promise to impose 34% retaliatory tariffs on US goods by noon Tuesday, adding an additional 84% in duties...
