Tonight, Canada declined to finalize the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week.
Despite the U.S. offer to Canada to receive the best treatment of any major exporter to our market, new demands and walk backs of other commitments by Canada have upended the careful balance reached in the past days. In addition, Canada is continuing to maintain its prolonged retaliation against the United States, including, among other things, flat-out prohibitions on certain American goods and services.
For decades, Canada has enjoyed the most favorable access to the U.S. market of any country. And from the beginning of President Trump’s trade program, Canada has continued to enjoy the best treatment in the world, even after – like China – retaliating against the United States. This week, the United States agreed to provide even better treatment to Canada, offering significant tariff reductions on steel, aluminum, autos, and lumber.
The U.S. offer was also forward looking, and included a historic economic and national security partnership to cooperate on export controls, combat transshipment, enhance digital trade, and align certain external tariffs. The offer would have led to supply chain coordination on aerospace, complementary actions to address unfair trade practices, critical minerals cooperation, increased enforcement against imports produced with forced labor, and the announcement of formal U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) negotiations.
This is a missed opportunity for Canada to partner with the United States, which is the fastest growing economy in the G7.
JUST IN: Vice President JD Vance tells the crowd in his hometown of Middletown, Ohio, the tragic story of American worker Kevin Flanagan, a computer programmer who was laid off from his job and was forced to train his foreign replacement in order to get his severance.
Vance says that after his last day on the job, Flanagan went to the office parking lot and took his own life in his truck.
Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister, seems to think he has room to negotiate with Donald Trump over new tariffs. He had better be right https://t.co/9GTOriTEnk
After 11 years as a sports columnist at the Seattle Times, I have decided to resign. It was entirely my choice, and it was not an easy one. The impetus was the Times declining to run a column I wrote from the perspective of two female student athletes who were opposed to competing against biological males. It was one of several pieces of mine that had been spiked, and I no longer felt like I could properly do my job as a columnist. I lay out the situation in greater detail in the link below, but I want to say that I enjoyed my time with the paper, find the talent there to be immense, and have no animosity toward anyone who works there. It was just time for a change.

There was a time when a truck driver, factory worker, roofer, mechanic, or warehouse worker could support a family on one income. Not rich. Just a house, a car, kids, and stability.
That world existed.
Then America decided cheap labor mattered more than protecting the value of American work. Factories left. Borders opened. Visa programs expanded. Contract labor exploded.
Corporations learned the lesson. When labor becomes unlimited, wages stop rising. CEOs become billionaires. Politicians stay relatively cheap.
Younger generations see it clearly. Millions more workers in the same jobs collapse bargaining power. Employers no longer compete for labor. Labor competes for employers.
Construction wages flatten. Entry-level roles disappear. Young men work two or three jobs and still cannot get ahead. Marriage and home ownership get delayed.
Immigrants, legal and illegal, now make up roughly one-third of the construction trades workforce. In many areas the share is higher. The wage suppression in the jobs that once built the middle class is real.
This is not about hating immigrants. It is about a simple question.
Why did America stop protecting the economic value of its own citizens?
NEW:
CAIR, the pro-Hamas group, has quietly pumped $175,000 into the largest PAC supporting Abdul El-Sayed.
Unity & Justice Fund, which CAIR launched in 2024 in response to Oct. 7, is funding Fighting for Michigan PAC.

Abdul El-Sayed is not a normal political candidate.
He is being bankrolled and boosted by the Muslim Brotherhood network in America.
El-Sayed is a Marxist-Islamist ("Red-Green") Alliance op. He must be stopped.

“I killed 900 people, and raped 50 young girls and 200 women.”
An Islamic State terrorist smiles as he proudly describes what he did to Yazidis and Christians.
This is what happens to non-Muslims under Islamic rule!
HOLY COW
I cannot believe this is real.
Everything we told you about vouching in Minnesota is correct.
“A registered voter in that precinct who can personally vouch for the identity & residence of up to 8 new voters.”
“A healthcare facility worker can vouch for an 👉UNLIMITED👈 number of residents of facilities that they work for
regardless of where that facility worker lives.”
This is from an Election Judge training video for Carver County, Minnesota.
@brunoballl@CNN So? IDF has a propaganda strategy but your Free Palestine and Gazan are truth God's🤔? Don't give me this sitting in far away lands... Go there and then tell me.
@FoxNews In just one democrat ran city, Chicago.
Since Jan of 2026 there have been -
262 homicides and 908 total people shot in 231 days.
That is one every 4.5 hours.
95%+ of it is black on black violence.

The leftist soft on crime policies are working great.
Literally the "Democratic" Socialists of America:
America is so bad my parents came poor from Peru and are now multimillionaires who bought me a $1.5 million Brooklyn apartment while I went to Yale to study sculpture. I am so oppressed 😭
You have to defend these men on principle, the principle of individual rights, or watch this exchange repeat until nothing is left to defend. Here is the newest round.
Ackman finds a real flaw. Under the plan, a founder whose company dies owes ordinary taxes on the forgiven debt, insolvency plus garnished wages for life. A devastating point, offered as a detail. And Khanna's answer? Bill, appreciate the push on the details. Then he drafts the patch on the spot: the founder pledges his shares for a government loan, and if he cannot repay, the state assumes the shares.
Read that twice. The objection improved the bill, and the improved bill ends with government owning equity in startups. The wealth tax matured into partial nationalization inside one reply, and the critic was thanked as a co-author.
This is what arguing mechanics earns. Every flaw you find, they fix. Every detail you push, they refine. The one thing they cannot survive is the argument most people with a platform refuse to make: the founder's wealth is his by right, earned by consent, and no need on earth converts it into public property. Concede that, and you are not the opposition. You are the drafting committee.
