Proud 2nd gen Canadian. Happily retired tech exec now loving travel, volunteering, hiking, reading.
Very sick of hearing this bullshit. Apparently a deadline tomorrow, if no TACO. Assuming tariffs for many items will be be at 25 or 35%, but things like oil, asbestos, natural gas will only be 10% because they need them. Please PMMC top those items with a matching export surcharge.
Lutnick: "The president truthed out that the Canadians put out, 'Oh, we're gonna recognize the Palestinian state.' I mean, come on, don't be so tone deaf!"

Great description of the booing going on.
Trudeau: "We're probably gonna keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans: we're not booing you ... we're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. And we're insulted ... we're gonna fight. And we're gonna win."

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Glad to hear the tariffs are put on hold for now. And it sounds like it is basically based on what Cdn govt had already proposed for the fight on fentanyl.
However... do not trust Trump.
Less than 3 hours ago he said AGAIN that the offer needed to be Canada becoming the 51st state.

I think the glee on the faces of those people is the point of how horrific this picture is, and no, I definitely do not see Nancy Pelosi...

Thinking about our (CDA) position in a trade war with US. We should be in a position of strength? We export many raw materials the US needs. Oil, gas, wood, minerals, etc.. Tariffs will reduce demand, but only so much? What items do we import from the US that we can't source from elsewhere?

Like I have seen many posts say - don't get us mad and make us come down there and burn your White House again! This song is actually fun to listen to (maybe more so for a Canadian, though...). Thanks for posting Charlie Angus!
Here's a song about the last time an American president tried to annex Canada and lo and behold, we burned down the White House to the ground.
Such a great singalong. We will teach it to our kids.

I hope that Chrystia Freeland becomes the next leader of the Liberals and our PM. She is smart, strong, hard-working and well-informed. She proved she can successfully handle negotiations with the US during the FTA.
I would be proud to have her as our next PM.

Justin Trudeau steps down as Liberal leader. Who are the top contenders to replace him?
With Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation as Liberal party leader, several well-known political faces may be waiting in the wings for their opportunity to take his place.
