Poilievre’s Own Goal Promoting Don Cherry for the Order of Canada was not a gaffe. It was a strategic choice. And in Quebec, strategic choices of this kind tend to have a long shelf life.

“in one stroke, Poilievre has alienated loyal Quebec MPs who built their careers on the ground in francophone ridings, while drawing applause from the caucus’s hard-right flank, embodied by MP Jamil Jivani” eamenard.substack.com/p/poilievres...

Canadian Visits To U.S. Fell By Double Digits In February Canadians have increasingly bypassed U.S. travel for more than a year, and the boycott shows no sign of slowing down.

“a 10% reduction in Canadian inbound travel could translate to $2.1 billion in lost spending and 140,000 lost jobs…The actual decline was 22%—more than double that hypothetical drop…last year’s 22% decline in visitation…economic hit of roughly $4.5 billion. www.forbes.com/sites/suzann...

A surge in patriotism and fewer US trips - Trump's Canada impact The first year of Donald Trump's second term has had a profound effect on Canada, from its politics and economy to the way Canadians shop and travel.

www.bbc.com/news/article...

In a democracy, this madman would've been removed from office long ago. Indeed, in a rule of law country he'd be in prison.

It is astounding this ambassador has not been thrown out of the country. The operative part of his title is "ass".

I believe the technical term for this is extortion

Opinion: Washington, we have a serious problem: Your ambassador to Canada The sooner Pete Hoekstra goes home to Trumpland, the better

There hasn’t been an American diplomat posted here in 100 years who has been as unlikeable, as obnoxious, as egotistical as Mr. Hoekstra. He is a third-rate bully who imagines that any of us who exist outside of the U.S. are inferior. Bye-bye mon cowboy, eh @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social?

Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, “created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,” and “did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.” The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their “rescue” on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

1. Reagan’s speech is real

2. It’s public domain

3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians

4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check

5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

An embarrassingly obvious point, but...

This. Is. Illegal.

If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed.

In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists.

Ontario bill would look at ‘alternative options’ for ending residential leases, scrap Toronto green roof bylaw. Here are the highlights The Ford government has tabled an omnibus bill that would make changes to a whole suite of laws and regulations, from green roofs to tenant evictions and driver’s licences.

I am not done being angry at the Ford government for cancelling supervised consumption sites, bike lanes and speed cameras. And now I have to muster the energy to fight this new attack on everyone who rents their home in Ontario.

I hate it here.

Ford just put every renter in Ontario into an even more precarious position. This is a clear and present danger to the 1.7 million renters in Ontario.
