Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered. I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid? I challenge anyone to defend it.
Totally bizarre.
He already put “very severe tariffs” on Canadian fertilizer imports *earlier this year.*
Then he quickly suspended them when farm state senators explained that the tariffs massively increased input costs for US farmers.
And now he’s threatening to punish US farmers again by suspending his suspension of tariffs on Canadian fertilizer.
Why?
Because the US has virtually no potash, and Canada has the world’s largest reserves?
Once again revealing there is no coherent strategy here… it’s all impulse and improvisation.
Where are the grown ups in and around the White House to lean in and whisper, “remember, Mr. President. We’ve been through this before. Tariffing Canadian fertilizer hurts our farmers, and we can’t produce our own.”
When Conservatives warn against Carney, it's one thing.
When a financial WHISTLEBLOWER who worked in Carney's circles warns against him, that is something else entirely.
And Canadians need to listen.

It is very reckless for opinion writers to declare who is truly ‘Canadian’ and who is not. Our opponents win when ‘Elbows Up’ becomes elbows against one another. Please grow up.🇨🇦
🚨 DEFUND & DISBAND THE @BCCSU 🚨
Leading addiction physicians with Addiction Medicine Canada sent a letter to David Eby's Health Minister @Josie_Osborne on Feb 24, raising series concerns about her decision to ask the BCCSU to advise clinicians on witnessed dosing for "safe supply."
The same addiction physicians have sent another letter to Minister Osborne expressing concern that delays by the BCCSU are causing more harm.
The BCCSU has long supported take-home "safe supply" & pushed drug legalization.
They developed protocols to prescribe fentanyl to youth.
They played a big role in DULF's illegal drug trafficking operation by conducting research on vulnerable British Columbians. Their Director of Research Thomas Kerr published studies about the operation with DULF's co-founders who were arrested & charged with drug trafficking.
In July 2024, David Eby's PHO Bonnie Henry featured DULF's research in her report calling for legalization.
The BCCSU's Kerr has spoken out against police seizing deadly drugs. He was also caught in leaked audio recordings plotting to disrupt a recovery conference.
The BCCSU is partly funded with YOUR tax dollars from the NDP. They also receive money from for-profit pharma companies, cannabis companies & other entities.
Not only should Eby & the NDP not engage with the BCCSU on witnessed dosing for "safe supply," they should defund & disband the BCCSU because it no longer serves the public interest.
David Eby's NDP is scapegoating hardworking British Columbians as "speculators" to justify failing policies.
The vacancy tax is nothing more than a cash grab to fund insider deals and political patronage.
British Columbians deserve better.

Packed room. Deep conversations. It was a pleasure welcoming local students to the official residence of @Israel for an intimate Tu BiShvat gathering.
It was a night to celebrate with friends, colleagues, and guest speakers who've carved their ways in communications, academia, and trade - all with a deeply personal connection to Israel. 💙

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says her government is reviewing DEI policies to ensure merit-based hiring, arguing "woke" hiring practices went too far and Alberta is leading efforts to rein them in.
If the ppl around Trump were smarter, they’d brand their tariffs as a BDS maneuver against the (self confessed!) genocide-state Liberal govt that has admitted to not one but two genocides against Canada’s Indigenous ppl (at least one of which, MMIWG, is apparently still going on)
White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett singled out Edmonton as a negative example, criticizing the city for its fentanyl problem during an interview at the White House. 🇺🇸
How has Carbon Tax Carney performed as Chair of Trudeau’s “Economic Growth Council?”
Well, under Carney’s policies, Canada’s income is smaller than in 2018 and has dropped more than any other G7 country, while U.S. incomes soar.
