It's a matter of record that Trump put a 10% tariff on Canadian oil and gas. There is no evidence of widespread exemptions. This article details the impact: https://invezz.com/news/2025/02/03/what-the-us-10-tariff-on-canadian-energy-means-for-global-oil-markets/. I was surprised that Trump put...

Respected journalist Scott Horton wrote a 690-page New York Times bestselling book on the subject titled "PROVOKED". Noted American academics John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs concur with Horton and have been speaking out for years on the subject as have respected diplomats such as AMB Chas...

Mark Carney on Dealing with Trump, Trade Wars and Putin This interview was with Bloomberg TV in London. I made some notes of what stood out for me in the interview: Carney repeated the claim that 85% of Canadian exports to the US are tariff free. He claimed that Canada has the "best deal" of...

No single country was responsible for the spike in treasury yields that happened almost immediately in response to Trump's liberation day tariff announcement. Certainly, Canada did not cause the spike that spooked Scott Bessant who convinced Trump to suspend his tariff plans. Let's unpack...

You are right in saying that Trump only cares about the billionaires who pay him millions in Trump's ingenious "pay to play" schemes that include for example suing CBS for tens of millions for "libel". CBS was in the process of being sold to Larry Ellison's son (Ellison is the 2nd richest person...

This looks like it is going to be a $75 million waste of money. Doug Ford and the clueless advisors that he surrounds himself with are so out of touch that they think Ronald Regan is today revered by Trump and his supporters and conservatives in general. He is not. I have heard Trump speak...

I would not cut-off the supply of potash to the US I would just put a 50% EXPORT tariff on potash. According to the USDA, fertilizer costs represent 33–45% of total operating expenses for major crops like corn and wheat. US farmers would be apoplectic if we increased the cost of their fertilizer...

Canada doesn't have 1,192 days to wait out Trump. Canada's economy is bleeding out, and Carney has done NOTHING to stem the hemorrhaging. The timid approach applied so far of trying not to upset the temperamental malignant narcissist Trump has not worked out. Trump is a bully. Bullies can smell...

Yes, only 12% of the cars made in Canada are sold in Canada which is EXACTLY what you would expect in a free-trade agreement between Canada and the US where Canada is 1/10 the size of the US (basic math). Did you expect that 100% of cars made in Canada would be sold only in Canada. If that were...

Brampton Jeep plant at risk as Stellantis announces $13-billion U.S. expansion In a written statement, Stellantis acknowledged that it would be moving “one model” from Canada to the U.S. https://archive.ph/OzbkG#selection-3745.26-3755.108 This was inevitable after over 6 months of complete...

While I am happy Trump did not win the Nobel Peace Prize María Corina Machado is probably the second least deserving person on the list of nominees. Machado has long been on the payroll of the US State department going as far back as the George W. Bush presidency. She is an American puppet...

I doubt that we will see a peace agreement come to pass. What has been agreed to so far is the release of all the hostages and a ceasefire as part of a "first phase". Trump is touting it as a "peace deal" because he wants to get the Nobel Peace Prize. I expect once all the hostages are freed...

Well, you presume wrong. It was a video clip of Trump ranting about trans-kids as he sat next to PM Carney (who has a trans-child) in the Oval Office. It was in a tweet with an innocuous caption describing Trumps rant.

I posted a X link to a video of Trump meeting with Carney along with my comments about the meeting. Are X links not allowed? I don't know what is meant by "amplification purposes". Obviously, videos and pictures are embedded to enhance a posting. If you are able to reinstate my post, I would ask...

Instead of cheap insults why don't you tell me why Canada needs to buy HIMARS? We should not be buying military equipment that cannot conceivably be used for the defense of the Canadian mainland. Now I could make a case for long range missiles, but I wouldn't be buying them from the United...

And why on earth would Canada spend $1.75 Billion on HIMARS from a country whose deranged unhinged out-of-control megalomaniacal narcissistic sociopathic president has declared economic war on us? These missiles are NOT for the defense of Canada. Given the 500 KM range of a HIMAR exactly what...

TRUMP GAZA – Colonization is Peace "The greatest lie that humanity tells itself is that we have outgrown human sacrifice...When Abraham prepares to sacrifice Issac, he is just accepting the same bargain of blood we accept today. That some need to die for the World to flourish" They are not...

Have you done any research on the origins of Covid-19? I have been studying this topic going back to the start of the pandemic. A virus very similar to Covid-19 was created in a lab at UNC Chapel Hill NC by a Dr. Ralph Baric who invented the “no-see-um” technique of gene splicing, also known as...

It is an indisputable fact that the US government under Trump funded the gain-of-function research that led to the creation of this bioweapon. It's not even open for debate. Former CDC Director Dr. Redfield testified before congress under the penalty of perjury that the gain-of-function research...

I don't see evidence of dementia with Trump like the dementia that was so apparent with Biden. Canada would probably be better off if Trump was clinically senile because the "grownups" could step in to avert disaster by invoking the 25th Amendment. I'm not an expert but I would describe Trump...
