    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    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.

    The Tarriff Hype.

    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...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    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...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    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.

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Gulf of America

    Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey, who signed a historic hydro development deal with Quebec and became a vocal critic of Donald Trump, is stepping down, saying he doesn't have the stomach for another term in the face of the all-consuming job it is to face the "maniac" U.S...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    Neither Carney nor Baylis have a seat in the House of Commons, so even if they become prime minister in less than two weeks’ time, they would not be able to participate in Parliament when the House returns at the end of March. Asked by reporters following the debate about the prospect of...
