Trump said in 2016 he’d eliminate the national debt in eight years. The national debt apparently took that personally.

The Trump tariff war has awoken Canadians to the reality that we must urgently diversify our trade relationships, to break the coercive power that any one foreign state can wield over us. The Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is our best path forward.

After paying thousands $$$$ in tuition for both of my kids to go to post secondary education in Ontario, I was not prepared for how frequently professors cancel the class due to illness or provide a reason why it has to be a "Zoom" class instead of in-person. Seems to happen very frequently #cdnpse
