American friends, THIS is the kind of shit that Canadians will not forget. Even when your current leader leaves. Bullshit like this is why Canada is cutting America out of the loop. Out. Where it will stay, for generations.

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

In his speech yesterday, Canada PM Mark Carney seemed to try to explain to the President what a “trade deficit” is. You’re not just giving another country 100s of millions of dollars… You’re buying things from them! That you want!
Another prominent justification for U.S. tariffs has been their claim that, since the United States runs a trade deficit with Canada, we were "ripping them off"
But the United States' narrow merchandise trade deficit only exists because the U.S. buys so much of its energy from us.
Canada fuels American growth: supplying 99% of their natural gas imports, 85% of electricity imports, and 60% of crude oil imports. I don't think they want us to stop sending it.
And the comprehensive U.S.-Canada trade balance, which includes the many services - from finance to entertainment - that we buy from the U.S. shows a persistent American trade surplus.
Most fundamentally, trade is about building mutual strength - creating a relationship that benefits both countries.
For example, Canada is the largest customer for U.S. cars - in fact, we buy more American-built cars than the United Kingdom, Japan, and China combined.

Scott Moe impressed me today. And TBH, even Poilievre didn’t use this to score political points. His statement was more than sufficient. Doug Ford put on his Captain Canada cape again, and good on him for it. Kinew & Eby have been steadfast behind Carney all along, But JFC Danielle Smith.

As a Mayor, it’s hard enough getting the real issues solved. Having citizens throw issues fueled by conspiracy bots wastes my time and my brain bandwidth. Anti vax propaganda does not recruit new doctors. 15 minute city crap does not get the roads paved. WEF fears don’t balance the budget.
