If you’re picking fights with Canadians, you don’t have a friend in the world.

[Brad Setser @Brad_Setser]

The fact that President Trump thinks trade with Canada is so problematic that it warrants 50% tariffs on many (most?) Canadian goods while apparently thinking trade with China is just fine now is a powerful indictment of his second term trade policy

Canada when America has wildfires: Here's some bombers and firefighters!

America when Canada has wildfires:

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Bellavance: "Every time [Trump and the Republicans] make those disparaging comments about Canada, they make the rupture with Canada more profound. I think it's going to take generations for us to forget what this president did to Canada."

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

As American politicians rage about Canadian wildfires spreading smoke into our airspace, American wildfires are jumping the border into Canada.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Reminder: When fires ravaged southern California, Canada sent firefighting crews to help battle the blazes.

[Jiggly News 🇨🇦 @JigglyPants44]

Have the Americans tried shooting at the smoke?

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

"Screwworm? Sounds ridiculous. Cut it's funding!"

"Cyclospora? What a parasite? Who's heard of that. CUT!"

"Cruise ship outbreak department? What do they do? OUT"

The result?

The return of screwworm, Hantavirus on a ship and explosive parasitic diarrhoea sweeping the US.

[Roddy 🇨🇦 @RodKahx]

Americans criticizing Canada for not being able to control 1 billion acres of forrest when they can't even control their own lettuce supply from giving themselves explosive diarrhea.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

The CDC had a lab and a team that studies the parasite Cyclospora and responds to outbreaks

DOGE shut it down

Now there's a massive outbreak of explosive diarrhoea caused by cyclospora across the United States

At a recent meeting, the Treasury’s top tax policy official contended that a potential White House request would violate a section of the federal law that prohibits the president, vice president, White House staff and certain agency heads from directly or indirectly requesting that the IRS conduct or terminate an audit or investigation of any particular taxpayer.

CNN's Kaitlan Collins: "We'll be monitoring what the president says tonight, as we always do, but aren't taking it live, given the president has a well documented history of saying blatantly false things about elections."

I can't breathe the air, I can't eat lettuce, I can't afford gas, and my kids have measles. But at least now our soldiers will have enough testosterone.

One of the most damaging and enduring lies perpetrated on the American people is that monetary policy by itself can “fix” inflation and that bad fiscal, foreign, and trade policies will sort themselves out if only we could figure out the right interest rate…

[Annie Waldman @AnnieWaldman]

Thousands of Americans are getting sick from a foodborne parasite, and federal regulators have still not publicly identified the source.

So what's been happening in the federal government over the past year that might be a factor in this outbreak?

[Michal Tal, PhD @ImmunoFever]

Last year some regrettable cost cutting decisions were made about foodborne pathogen testing, ending 28 years of screening for cyclosporiasis and quickly catching and quenching several outbreaks. Now we still have no idea what the source of this outbreak is. This is the price!!!
