BREAKING: CNN's fact-checker exposes an AVALANCHE OF LIES from Trump about Canada — and there's a new one almost every day.
Donald Trump doesn't just have policy disagreements with Canada. According to CNN's chief fact-checker Daniel Dale, who happens to be Canadian himself, Trump has built his entire trade war narrative on a foundation of demonstrably false claims — and the lies keep coming.
Just today, Dale documented, Trump falsely claimed Canada's unemployment rate is "10% and rapidly rising." The actual number: 6.4%, and it's been DECLINING for three straight months. Trump also falsely claimed Canada does "95% of its business with the US." The real figure is 72%.
He blamed the entire US-Canada trade deficit on high Canadian agricultural tariffs, despite the fact that roughly 97% of US agricultural exports to Canada are already tariff-free, and the actual deficit stems overwhelmingly from cheap Canadian crude oil imports that benefit American consumers.
And that's just today's batch. Dale's running tally over the past 18 months reads like a highlight reel of fabrication.
Trump has falsely claimed Canada doesn't buy American agricultural products, when it's actually the world's SECOND-LARGEST buyer of them. He's falsely claimed Canadians support becoming America's 51st state, when polling shows overwhelming opposition.
He's falsely claimed Canada is among the world's highest-tariff nations, when World Trade Organization rankings place it near the bottom. He's falsely claimed Canada "essentially doesn't have a military," ignoring that Canadian forces have fought alongside American troops in multiple wars and rank in the upper half of NATO by force size.
He's also falsely inflated the US trade deficit with Canada to "$200 billion" (nowhere close), falsely claimed Canada bans American banks (more than a dozen currently operate there), falsely claimed Canada is "constantly surrounded" by Chinese and Russian ships (fiction), and falsely accused former PM Trudeau of using trade tensions to run for reelection — despite Trudeau, quite obviously, not running.
This isn't policy disagreement. This is a dispute over the nature of reality!
This is a sitting president manufacturing an entire economic conflict with one of America's closest allies using numbers he simply invented, over and over, across nearly two years, with virtually no correction or accountability.
When the facts don't support your trade war, apparently the solution is just to make up new facts. Someone needs to tell Trump that the world doesn’t work like that, and it may as well be CNN’s Daniel Dale.

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable?
Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms?
That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres?
That men don’t belong in women’s sport?
That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders?
That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues?
That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context?
That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex?
That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights?
That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society?
That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit?
That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t?
That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology?
That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century?
Let me have your thoughts.
.@KamalaHarris won the election. Election systems were breached and votes were manipulated across at least three swing states including Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Michigan. @elonmusk suppressed Harris and Democratic voices while propagating disinformation to assist Trump.
Russia has:
—ALL of the tapes of Trump getting pissed on by hookers
—ALL of the tapes of Trump raping girls with Epstein
—ALL of the financial records proving Trump is financially insolvent and owned by the Kremlin
—ALL of the proof he didn’t win either the 2016 or 2024 elections
Worth repeating:
I just want him gone. I want his family gone. I want that fucking name gone permanently from the news cycle. I’m sick & fucking tired of seeing him, hearing him & hearing about him. I’ve never hated someone as much as that motherfucker.
Thierry Mandon (socialiste) : 22.000€ détournés, 5 ans d’inéligibilité avec exécution provisoire.
Hubert Falco (Les Républicains) : 60.000€ détournés, 5 ans d’inéligibilité avec exécution provisoire.
Le RN de Marine Le Pen, c’est plus de 4.000.000€ détournés.
Si vous considérez qu'une personne qui détourne 4.1 millions d'euros d'argent public peut se présenter à la Présidence de la République c'est que vous faites parti du problème. Il y a peut-être même des redressements fiscaux à faire.
On rappelle aux mal-comprenants que si Marine Le Pen n’avait pas piqué dans la caisse, il n’y aurait pas eu de procès et si il n’y avait pas eu de procès, elle n’aurait pas été condamnée à une inéligibilité. Simple.
🎙️ "Les juges affirment que Marine Le Pen ne pouvait ignorer qu’elle était en infraction, mais qu’elle en a toujours contesté la réalité, multipliant les recours dilatoires, niant jusqu’aux évidences y compris pour certains prévenus, jusqu’à leurs propres écrits de l’époque. Pour le tribunal, devant ce mépris des faits, cette sorte d’impunité revendiquée, le risque de récidive est objectivement caractérisé, et seule l’exécution provisoire sera de nature à prévenir ce risque…" Patrick Cohen

Triste résumé de nos fonctionnements démocratiques.

Clarté de @fabricearfi sur ceux qui n'hésitent pas à faire le procès de la justice dès qu'ils sont mis en cause tout en réclamant la tolérance zéro pour les crimes de droit commun.

🔴Condamnation de Marine Le Pen : l'Arcom va évaluer si CNews et Europe 1 ont manqué à leurs obligations "en matière de pluralisme et d’honnêteté" dans la présentation des informations.
48% des personnes qui sont condamnées en France le sont avec une exécution provisoire (2021).
La justice est équitable. Nous sommes tous jugés de la même manière.
Pourquoi faudrait il une exception pour Marine Le Pen ?
