GM, Ford et al Retreated on EVs, So Why Do They Deserve Tariff Protection?

What will Canada do if Trump forces more of Canada's auto plants to relocate to the US?

Allow Chinese companies to set up shop?

Carney Sets Out New Vision for Global Middle Powers

"The middle powers must act together because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu."

Collective action creates a viable “third path.”

New China Partnership is a Cautious Win for Carney, Canada

Aside from the EV part, the Canada-China Strategic Plan is a boring, conventional trade agreement.

It certainly doesn't merit the Pierre Poilievre, Steve Bannon hysteria.

Tone it down, boys.

Words to love by, fellow Canadians.

Let me leave you with this thought: the US Midwest usually has about 9 days of oil in storage.

Canada supplies 100% of Midwest oil imports.

9 days.

Think about it.

Quislings, the lot of them.

Better, More Profitable Alternatives to a New West Coast Pipeline

1. Optimize existing infrastructure
2. Create a domestic market for bitumen instead of shipping it to foreign markets

May we at least have this conversation, @MarkJCarney?

This is the beginning of re-orienting Canada's trade. It's a process. There will be many a slip betwixt cup and lip.

But it's big and important.

Watching @PierrePoilievre and Canadian Conservatives attack @MarkJCarney over the Canada-China Strategic Partnership makes me ill.

For starters, Donald Trump is a liar. And clearly demented.

The key members of his Administration, like @StephenM, are raving extremists.

These are the architects of the "new world order."

Ideological zealots.

That's who is creating a "new world order." He's doing it by wrecking the old one.
