Ford Goes To Town
To all the Pierre Poilievre supporters out there. If you have him leading the conservative party in the next federal election, the conservatives will get whipped. Even JD Vance calls him a non-entity. If you want your party to have a real shot at becoming the next ruling party, after the next federal election, look…

Dust Settling
These are just some of the demands that the US was making of Canada in this trade negotiation. They wanted to launch an attack on one of our to recognized national languages. They wanted the right of first refusal to our critical minerals. They wanted to change us to our Buy Canada policy. They wanted…

Danielle’s Folly
John Ivison is a political journalist on the National Post, a major right wing newspaper in Canada. He is a super pro right winger. Following, Canada, walking away from the trade negotiations and following Mark Carney’s press conference, Saturday morning, all the premieres of Canada’s provinces and territories gave full support to Mark Carney, except…

Stagecoach Turns Pumpkin
Midnight came and Cinderella‘s stagecoach has turned back into a pumpkin. But we are still all here and most likely united more than ever before. The details kept getting worse all week. No relief on softwood lumber. Aluminum and steel tariffs would still be at 25%. Auto tariffs still at 15%. Trump saying that a…

Headwinds For Carney
Mark, the 50% tariff deadline is tonight. You gave a briefing to the premiers as to how the negotiations are going. Initially, you got favourable responses from premiers, such as the premiers of Saskatchewan and Alberta. Of course Danielle Smith because it is not going to affect her at all.

Valuable Lesson
A trade deal might be in the works. Tariff rates for goods such as steel aluminum and vehicles will go down. The question is, will the degree of decrease, be enough to satisfy Canadian producers of these goods. If they can live with it fine. If not, it becomes another story. Two premieres, including Scott…

TACO Trump Strikes Again
TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) has struck again. He has delayed his 50% tariff threat on Canada until Saturday now. Big surprise, not. Trump even says that a deal is in place. Sure, like a deal with Iran is in place. Ottawa, on the other hand, says there’s still a lot of work to do,…

Rather No Deal
The August 19 tariff deadline is only two days away, now. Donald Trump has set that day as the day, if no deal is struck, he will add a 50% tariff on $20 billion worth of goods exported by Canada. The goods subject to this tariff would greatly affect the provinces of BC, Ontario and…

Separation Bust
if you look on social media, as I do, you will see that the separatist posts are getting angrier each day. This might be because of the declining polling numbers. The western standard, a heavily right wing operation had a poll, under May, ju showing 45% of Albertans, supported separation. However, polling taken in June…

NASTY Canucks
So, while Donald Trump was in Vegas, giving a speech, he called Canada and our leader leadership, NASTY a bunch of times. We are a NASTY country. We are just plain NASTY!!! So Donald doesn’t like it when we don’t roll over in submission. He has hit us with tariffs, as high as 50% on…
