    The Tarriff Hype.

    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...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    On Thursday, in a major walk-back, Trump signed an executive order to waive the 25 per cent tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports that are covered under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). According to trade experts CTV News spoke with, CUSMA covers 95 per cent of goods traded between...

    I was in a grocery store on the way home from work tonight… Many items are literally “flagged” as Canadian. Those are new. Interesting…

    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”...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    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??? This guy is a lunatic. Trump has the credibility...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    The goat-rodeo of stupidity continues. Canada offered to delay its second phase of counter-tariffs against the U.S. if Donald Trump drops tariffs on all Canadian products — not just in the auto sector — that are covered by and comply with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Free Trade Agreement, the Star has...

    I could see this happening after Trump is gone, but there’s the old sage advice stating, “Don’t stick your dick in crazy!”

    Trump 2.0

    One day, President Donald Trump imposed a punishing tariff regime against Canada and Mexico. The next, he froze auto duties for a month after suddenly realizing that – as everyone had predicted – they could wreck a quintessential American industry. Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr...

    Alberta exports something like a “Brazilian” barrels of oil south daily, & the taps just don’t turn off, so we’d have to put that oil somewhere every day, if it isn’t going south…because production can’t stop, because if it does, it might not start again or at least not all of it. It’s not like...

    Pete, I’m only up to let out some dogs for a quick pee and I’m going back to bed, because I’ve been burning the candle at both ends since about January 20th over this whole bullshit bully flex thing. I don’t wanna start and fall down a rabbit hole in order to get up for the day and four or five...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    She’d be back as a refugee so fast, it would make your head spin, and her new passport might even have your name on it. She apparently has no problem globe hopping all over the place, so I don’t think that’s much of a deterrent. Record-keeping through the Middle East is notoriously Shoddy. If...
