Both were born into wealth, attended elite schools and grew up in a world of privilege. Trump’s father built a real estate empire and passed it on to his son, along with hundreds of millions of dollars in inheritance. Trudeau’s first home was the prime minister’s residence. From an early age, he...

So according to the B.C. government, the Alberta Gov’t dropped tariffs on B.C. wine to Alberta residents then?

Get use to it how? If only the US calls the “Gulf of Mexico” the “Gulf of America” what’s there to get use to? Or is there some kinda threat (maybe a tariff?) against those that don’t call it the “Gulf of America” ???

The Wall Street Journal featured an editorial in its weekend edition declaring that if Donald Trump went ahead with his plan to impose tariffs on America’s two biggest trading partners, it would constitute “the dumbest trade war in history.” He did, and it is. The Journal’s argument, which...

By seat count, I think the Libs would have 18.6%…but I could be wrong. Both are still less than 1 in 5 Canadians.

Thankfully, there is more to alcohol than beer, & hopefully the market to replace American alcohol on Canadian shelves will open to Mexico with a dramatic increase in trade there…. Because there’s all kinds of interesting Mexican liquors that we just can’t get out here on the prairies.

It’s CBC, fishing to see if they’re gonna have jobs next year. Most of them won’t “unless”….a federal election doesn’t happen in Canada this year. If either Carney comes in as the unelected Prime Minister, or Trudeau doesn’t leave regardless of his commitment towards an intention towards...

A sense of urgency?

Former & briefly British PM Liz Truss discusses Mark Carney: She doesn’t seem to be a big fan, but that’s only due to first hand experience I guess. (For Tec, YouTube & “LILLEY UNLEASHED: Former British PM weighs in on Mark Carney’s banking reputation”)

If America (via Trump) is attacking Mexico & Canada…more so that China that’s the ‘C’ in BRICS…is affiliating ourselves with the BRICS & EU (& Mexico and Canada more closely with each other) part of the solution to divesting at least partially away from the US? Does that currency have to...

Single currency with whom? The US? Mexico? The US & Mexico? The US is tariffing Canadian & Mexican goods supposedly as of today (yesterday actually) for the privilege of being physically connected to the US and thus naturally America’s largest trading partners. Would that be in our (or Mexico’s)...

(This is ‘before’ the US election & Trumps tariff announcement now that he’s in power) He has not threatened Australia with tariffs yet…just say’n…back in October, Sheinbaum proposed the strength of the treaty, of the USMCA," responded the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, in her morning...

…& the retaliatory tariffs, while parliament is on hold through proroguation, have been called by the lame duck “supposedly outgoing” yet still PM in a minority gov’t situation without (I’m assuming) consulting with the opposition parties who currently represent the majority of Canadians. (He’s...
