Love this story from Ainsley Hawthorn. The Fishermen’s Protective Union are as important to NL’s history as cod fish. Over 100 years ago, decades before Newfoundland and Labrador joined Canada, they were advocating for fair pay, free public schools, and old age pensions.

Of course Diaper Donald bullies and mocks the only country brave enough to tell him to go fuck himself. Time for others to now harden the fuck up and watch his flaccid ego shrivel.

Lots of discussion about the trade deal being dismissed over sovereignty, language and last minute punishments. But reports that USA demanded ability to revise these tariff agreements at any time. Right. Concede everything for the "promise" that USA will not honour the deal. Written in pencil.

Canadians can’t see the rejected U.S. trade deal. Here’s why

Pierre Poilievre has called on the government to "release the proposed text" so that Canadians can see the American demands that prompted the breakdown in negotiations.
