Taco trade Monday morning?
Bracing for the inevitable wave of “will Trump’s 100% tariffs apply to Canadian oil exports?” questions

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda.

Hey, Bessent, quick question: which country killed the Keystone XL pipeline?
Also, how are y'all doing with natural gas pipeline builds in the Northeast?
Finally, one last question: why does Canada have seem to have pipelines to the West Coast and America does not?

The current anti-immigrant trend a lot of countries are experiencing is quickly going to run up against demographic realities. In a few years, western countries will be aggressively competing for migrants.
America’s tumbling birthrate is pushing colleges toward a “demographic cliff,” where a declining population in the late teens and early 20s could leave campuses empty

The Canadian market is about 2 million cars a year, so 50,000 Chinese EV's is a pretty small concession for what Canada got in return. NA automakers still have lots to fear however as Canadians may get a taste for affordable EVs.

Unlike other established areas, Calgary’s Marda Loop has evolved organically.
While this has created challenges for some, Marda Loop has become one of the city’s most desirable districts, as a growing variety of housing options and amenities increasingly attract young families.
