The buck stops at Queen's Park. Hospitals run a $70 million debt while Doug Ford spends $48 million ripping out bike lanes. We live in the stupidest timeline.

Conservatives still refuse to admit that the Americans are the problem, that there is no deal to be had, and that the Americans are not intersted in the benefits of trade—only in our capitulation.
Carney’s Top Priority Should be Resolving the U.S. Trade Dispute 

October 2, 2026
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ottawa, ON – Stephanie Kusie, Conservative Shadow Minister for International Trade, and Shuvaloy Majumdar, Conservative Shadow Minister for Canada-US relations, issued the following statement on Minister Sidhu’s meeting with Jamieson Greer, U.S. Trade Representative at the G20 Trade Ministers’ meeting:

“Just days after U.S. import bans on select Canadian items like alcohol, dairy, motorcycles and molasses took effect, Canada’s Minister of International Trade, Maninder Sidhu, met with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer yesterday at the G20 Trade Ministers’ meeting.

This further highlights the importance of Canada being at the negotiating table and using every opportunity to advocate for Canadian jobs and our trade relationship.

“Conservatives will never stop fighting for Canadian workers and businesses. As our Leader, the Honourable Pierre Poilievre, has shown through his trips to the United States, we will continue remindin…

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending
