Someone tried to shame on social media a small business in Ontario for carrying American onions.

It’s a variety that doesn’t grow in Ontario - they import these from Georgia.

Canada’s trade dispute with the US has fried many people’s brains.

[Alise Mills @DiaryofaFixer]

Those who've hung out in Washington , worked US-Canada files know economic nationalism was not invented by Trump.

Democratic caucuses and administrations have hardly spent the last 30 years protecting Canada from American protectionism.

Clinton's era gave us the 1996 Softwood Lumber Agreement, which restricted Canadian exports. Obama arrived amid congressional pressure for "Buy American," while Canada was fighting the US over country of origin – labelling and lumber. Clinton's admin explicitly said it would vigorously enforce the lumber agreement against Canada.

By 2016, Obama and Trudeau were negotiating another arrangement designed to keep Canadian lumber exports at or below an agreed U.S. market share.

Then came Biden. His administration didn't dismantle economic nationalism but industrialized it. Buy America was expanded across federally funded infrastructure, and congressional Democrats proposed an EV tax credit so discriminatory against Canadian built vehicles that Ottawa launched a full court lobbying campaign in DC.

In 2021, Democrats bulked up and attempted to get Biden to get even tougher on Canada. They were pretty fed up + wanted much of what Canadians have heard from Trump this past year. But two things happened that slowed this: Biden was up against it with his oil companies –self-induced political pain; and his US led Global Digital Sales Tax task force made up of liberal leaderships but were facing political expiration. And then Trudeau screwed him precisely at the moment the group had reached consensus.

So please stop teaching Canada-US trade history as though everything was free trade, friendship bracelets and integrated supply chains until Trump.

America protects American economic interests. Democrats do it. Republicans do it. Congress does it. Presidents do it.

Sure the methods, intensity and rhetoric change, but the inherent and underlying national interest doesn't

Canada never understood the assignment. Canada's job was never to find an American political party that loved us. It was to keep their head on a swivel, understanding the US well enough to make Canada strategically indispensable to whichever party Americans elected.

TDS Canadians are NOT okay. I am sure they’re praying for a Covid-type hotline so they can complain about their neighbours buying American goods. I bet if we searched, there are FB groups already set up for this very thing.

[Sam Cooper @scoopercooper]

This is one of the key UFWD political influence groups, of 575 in Canada, identified by @JamestownTweets - whose leadership testified in Committee on its report. Key find by Andy Lee here. Does Chen have relationship to this group, of which Michael Ma was formerly a director?

[Limeri @LimeriVT]

Scroll all the way down to the vtuber category and select LIMERIEN to vote.

A former governor general can still expense taxpayers up to $200,000 every year for the rest of their life and up to six months after their death.

This perk is absurd and needs to go.

Liberals have spent more than a decade making farming, specifically cattle ranching, impossibly expensive.

Carbon taxes, regulations, and endless paperwork have pushed Canadian beef to be among the most expensive in the world.

Now the liberal party solution is to import meat from countries that don’t have the same standards regarding food safety, animal welfare, or quality control.

They’re tying the Canadian beef industry’s hands behind our backs and bringing in someone to beat us senseless.

The Snow Mexicans up in the 51st state are very angry with me today.

So far I have learned from the Canadian Bacon that the forest fires in Ontario are Trump’s fault because he is a “climate denier” and that fires will spontaneously combust out of the blue because the air temperature reached 35°C and the wind gave the trees a little blow job.

Science!

[Mark McQueen @markrmcqueen]

Which begs the question: why was no one charged?

[The Dam Smokehouse @damsmokedamgood]

And yet the Convoy legal cases roll on. What a country. What a system.

[Tamara Lich 🇨🇦 @LichTamara]

They lied about crime, about attempted arson, about disrespecting the War Memorial, about desecrating the Terry Fox statue, about truckers being rapists, about Russian interference, about foreign funding, about middle class Canadians being right wing terrorists, they lied about invoking the Emergencies Act, and the former Finance Minister/Deputy PM giggled like a school girl when she announced she was freezing bank accounts and canceling insurance without due process, parliamentary oversight, or an order from a judge.

@Monna_Haddid Oh my....

[Tom Quiggin @TomTSEC]

The UNRWA just fired 70 of its own staff due to their terrorist affiliations, Following that, Canada announces that we will send more taxpayer money to the UNRWA.

[Tracey Wilson @TWilsonOttawa]

There’s a story out this morning from the Canadian Press that made me rise an eyebrow as it goes against everything we know from law enforcement and the data.

It states that 71% of RCMP traced crime guns are domestically sourced. That was shocking to read so we did a little digging into the numbers.

Here's the truth:
