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 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,…

Sick To My Stomach
