Yesterday the US Senate aggressively challenged Trump’s failed economic policy, voting 52-48 to roll back his tariffs on Brazil.

Late this afternoon Trump suffered another humiliating rebuke, as the Senate voted to roll back his tariffs on Canada, 50-46.

Andrew Scheer is just motoring through a whole litany of lies.
And no, the Harper government did not work with the opposition during the minority years. They dared the opposition to bring them down time and again (and prorogued when they were getting close to doing so). #PnPCBC

I have for years been concerned about Doug Ford's desire to limit and deke around the democratic protections in Ontario. Here he is again chipping away at our foundation, in a way that looks a lot like the Trumpian/MAGA efforts to tilt elections and stay in power. #ontario #onpoli

This is our second-largest trading partner in Southeast Asia — and Prime Minister Charnvirakul and I want to unlock even more opportunities for our workers and businesses.

It’s great to see people getting vaccinated, but some are using this as a license to pretend Covid is over.

Protection from infection fades within months & is modest to begin with.

Protection against long COVID is only about ~25–40%, not high enough given the severity of the condition

Actually, he’s still very much like Trump, and is scandal-ridden and corrupt, but he badly wants to be Prime Minister of Canada and he thinks this is the way to get there.

In his first campaign to lead Ontario, Ford started out as a Trump-style populist. But tariffs changed his view and he is now a consistent thorn in the U.S. president's side.

Who is Doug Ford, the Canadian politician pushing Trump's buttons?

This should be Canada wide. If the openly corrupt government in Alberta does this & succeeds, you can guarantee the other provinces will follow. This is one of the core principals of democracy.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”
