You’re probably correct, but no one in Ontario wanted this ad. Furious at Doug Ford for wasting $$ we need in Ontario!

I broke things down further here.

I'm starting to think we're wrong to even say that Trump's trade negotiations are getting "deals." They're not deals. They're the terms of other countries' economic capitulation. #giftlink

Canada is lucky not to have signed!
www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Just look at where other countries have ended up. The United Kingdom thought it would gain an advantage by being the first to sign, acquiescing to 10 per cent across-the-board tariffs and a quota on its automobile exports. The Europe Union’s agreement, which even its members seem to hate, was even worse, imposing a 15 per cent tariff rate and a requirement that it buy USD $250 billion in American energy products per year.

As for Japan and South Korea, they negotiated tariff rates ranging from 15 to 50 per cent, but were also expected to cough up huge sums of direct investment — USD $550 billion from Tokyo and USD $350 billion from Seoul. Trump claimed that the deal requires 90 per cent of the profit of that investment remain in America and said he would personally direct the capital.

Trump’s shakedown was effective. French President Emmanuel Macron conceded as much when he declared last month that “to be free, you need to be feared. We were not feared enough.” Instead, they feared being left out — but as Trump himself wrote, showing fear “makes the other guy smell blood, and then you’re dead.”

Trump is posting on Truth Social that he's terminating negotiations with Canada over a "fake" ad criticizing tariffs (that was run by Ontario, and which isn't fake.)

It's all theatre. There was never a deal to be gotten. Trump just wants to claim victory. #giftlink www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

But here’s the deal: There’s no deal to be had.

Behind the glad-handing and theatrics, Trump doesn’t even know what he wants. He has found his preferred tool in achieving his grandiose goals — ending the drug crisis, eliminating America’s trade deficits, reviving American manufacturing — and it is tariffs. Don’t like those demands? Don’t worry, he has others: A place to send the people he’s deporting, free capital to invest in American manufacturing, or unrivaled access to rare earth minerals. Exactly what Canada is supposed to do to escape tariffs remains murky as ever.

We’re not the only ones. Trump’s conspiratorial trade adviser Peter Navarro once promised to sign “90 deals in 90 days.” The administration’s biggest deal has been with China — and it’s a loser. The deal reduces, but doesn’t drop, American tariffs on China in exchange for more critical minerals from Beijing. This is Trump’s version of a win-win: He gets concessions, but gets to keep the tariffs.

We need to talk about how social media algorithms push moms down a slippery slope of distrust.

From "Are my kids getting enough support in school?" To "Maybe I should homeschool." To "Maybe modern medicine is bad."
