@wealthmoose Greer’s 7% auto claim skips the truck exclusion Carney flagged.
That gap hits Canadian plants and parts suppliers first.
Full text shows the actual cost.
@PierrePoilievre@Jim4BEY Lower costs is the goal.
Right now US 50% tariffs already cover ~$20B of Canadian goods since Aug 22.
Canada’s match starts Sept 8.
First higher prices hit household bills before any policy change.
@GadSaad US claim: 3,150+ mosques.
Canada estimates sit near 750–1,000.
Muslim share: 4.9% (2021 Census).
Building counts track population growth, not an invasion metric for Canadian communities.
@GadSaad Canadian campus and community debates often skip this distinction:
Ancient tribal names and maps are on record.
Kingdom of Israel predates modern labels.
Modern populations, borders and 1948–present data are separate facts.
@GadSaad@Cornell@GOP Cornell data: 5% GOP faculty.
Viewpoint concentration is the number.
Similar patterns appear in many Canadian universities.
It shapes research, policy advice and classroom discussion that reach Canadian families.
@MarkJCarney Carney: "We are stronger now" VS Canada reality.
US 50% already active on ~$20B of Canadian goods since Aug 22.

@PierrePoilievre Crown sought 5 years.
Judge cut it to 4.
The reduction was given solely because the permanent resident faces deportation.
It was not to stay under any threshold — the sentence stayed well above it.
The numbers show where the weight landed.
A Masterclass? Actually a madness!
US 50% live Aug 22. Canada response delayed to Sept 8.
102k workers fear job loss.
Plants paid first. Supports still rolling.
This was the most interesting part of Carney's appearance this morning.
Asked what changes the Americans made that were unacceptable, he gave a clear and direct answer with concrete examples.
This was not a deal any PM should have signed with those auto tariffs on trucks.
@Gina_T1@Gina_T1 Carney cited specific last-minute U.S. changes (e.g. excluding trucks from tariff cuts) as unacceptable. Sounds more genuine walk-away than pure tactic. Deal could still revive.
