I spend my days thinking about housing affordability in Canada. Slowly leaving this space, the Bad Place, in search for the Good Place.

Retaliatory tariffs are costly, I get it: I'm a trained economist.

If Trump hadn't repeatedly announced that his goal was to weaken Canada to the point where we'd be begging him to annex us, then I would be on Team No Retaliation. But he did, and I'm not.

@ExnerPirot Super interesting. What's the price difference between west vs. US natural gas?

As usual, Rep. Raskin making some sense.

Stop Trump’s idiotic trade war killing American businesses. Let peaceful commerce among the nations prevail. And hands off Canada, America’s #1 trading partner, whose people are now boycotting American products because of Trump’s imbecilic policies.

No joke - this is how you hit the US back if you’re Canada

Retaliatory tariffs I get, it feels good and right, but they hurt Canadians very directly

Move the 10 year up?

That is what they are paying attention to

If we’re actually at war, this is our weapon

Tonight, our Canadian negotiators made the right decision by walking away.  We can’t trade good jobs for a bad deal. And it was clear the US was continuing to push for untenable concessions. /1

@SimonVodrey I disagree. Wanna argue about it?

@MarkBourrie Congrats, Mark!

@gmacofglebe @CNN @abbydphillip @nypost They don’t need to platform the bottom of the barrel. Partially CNN’s fault

@michaelgendron I think his majesté is delivering it in person on the 27th.

@JordanLeichnitz This was really good, Jordan. I listened to almost every one. Thanks for waking up so early!

@David_Moscrop I’m picturing Charlie Angus pulling wrenches at the Timmins airport.

Ontario is currently experiencing a measles outbreak, with the vast majority of cases occurring in unvaccinated individuals who were eligible to receive the vaccine.

The measles vaccine is safe, free, widely available, and very effective.
