Corrections on your last episode;
1) It’s not “spaghetti-gate”, it was referred to as “pasta-gate”.
2) language “police” aren’t in Ontario, it’s in Quebec.
3) There aren’t actual “language police” lol, they are bureaucrats that issue tickets, mainly to harrass local businesses (still dumb). We call them language police colloquially. They are part of the Quebec government’s “Office de la langue francaise” (the department of French language), whose mandate is to “protect the French language” but they usually just hard as English businesses and issue tickets. Yes, it’s dumb.
I have never seen #Canada dominate international/European news as much as it has now. @MarkJCarney is probably now more famous globally that Pierre Trudeau was; he is the world leader of the moment.

Former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney: The Trump Administration's position is that they can violate any trade agreement, impose any tariff without constitutional authority. They expect zero response. We have reciprocated because we have self-respect.
@PattyMurray@RobertFife Republicans are scared of Trump, which is adorable. Canada is standing up to Trump, we’ve laid out the blueprint, now everyone needs to do it. If he wants prosperity, he’s going to have to play nice with his friends on the school yard.

“What Trump is doing is he's instituting a worldwide trade extortion scheme. The tariffs are not about any particular outcome. They're about going to each country and saying, ‘Hey, nice country you got there. Would be a shame if something happened to it.’ And what he's seeking from each of these countries is submission. He wants them to submit their economic Independence and sovereignty to him.”
“And of course, the effect that that has in those countries is the opposite of what he wants. It puts the incentive to all of the politicians in Canada to oppose him, because if they do submit, they'd be thrown out of office right away. So what he's done is he's ensured the failure of his own policy and in doing so, ensured that the retaliation will come.”
“Now, while it's true that Canada will suffer more than the Americans, it's also true that the Canadians are so pissed off at us right now - 80% of Canadians are against the United States, for the first time in living memory - that they're willing to suffer more for the point of maintaining their sovereignty and standing up to Trump. And that's not the case in Michigan. That's not the case in Maine. People in America are not a fan of these trade wars. They’re not on board with Trump’s strategy.”
“So there will be political consequences, not for Trump, because he is not running, but for Republicans. But it's pretty clear that Trump doesn't care about that.”
