Wolfers: "The president has been batting around Canada like a cat who's just found a mouse. He's been doing it for years now ... one of his first acts as president was aggressive tariffs against, can you believe it, Canada of all the countries in the world."
CNN: "Donald Trump has managed to pull a wonderful magic trick that has taken a long time ally like Canada and all of a sudden, Canadians, they hate, hate, hate the USA. Canadians have a -33 net favourable view of the US ... just 20% have confidence in the president."
Donald Trump held a $6.4 BILLION bridge hostage for five months.
A bridge Canada paid for. Every cent. America chipped in the dirt on their side and that's it.
His ransom demand in February? Half the bridge. HALF. Of a bridge he didn't pay for.
What he actually walked away with in July? Half of the "net revenue." Which, per Canada's own Prime Minister, will be NEGATIVE for the first few years. And whatever eventually turns up has to be spent in Michigan anyway.
He demanded half a bridge. He got half of a snow removal bill. And he's posting victory laps in shouty capitals like he just annexed the Louvre.
Meanwhile Mark Carney, the quiet banker in sensible shoes, is signing cheques made out for half of fuck-all and chuckling into his tea.
This is the bloke who keeps telling Trump NO. To his face. In his own Oval Office. And somehow keeps getting thanked for it. ~Via I Fucking Love Australia

Ben Meiselas: "Trump's view, if we just keep bombing them more and they're going to want to do a deal. No, Iran will respond. They're not going to want to do a deal. With Canada, just tariff them more and they will stop retaliating. That'll bring them down to their knees. It's predator behavior. It's war criminal behavior. It's Epstein class behavior."
Oh well, it’s not like we pay the tariffs lmao.
Importers do then pass the tariffs on to Americans.
We will continue not selling their piss water… I mean booze.
We should put export tariffs on fertilizer, make Americans food bills go up since we control half the worlds supply
In which a declaration by U.S. President Trump, posted to the White House website, mentions the LCBO's removal of American booze in March 2025.
"Canadian imports of U.S. alcoholic beverages decreased by approximately 81 percent (from approximately $718 million to approximately $137 million)."

Potassium bromate is banned across Europe. It is in the American loaf.
Azodicarbonamide is banned across Europe. It is in the American bun.
Titanium dioxide is banned across Europe. It is in the American sweets.
Growth hormone in milk is banned across Europe. It is in the American glass.
Ractopamine is banned across Europe. It is in the American bacon.
Chlorine rinse is banned across Europe. It is on the American chicken.
Same brand. Same packet. Two recipes, depending which side of the ocean opens it.
One regulator restricts the chemical the moment the doubt appears. The other waits until harm is proven, on you.
America is not a market. It is the control group nobody agreed to join.
The vast majority of Canadians agree that climate change is a major factor in worsening wildfires — except Conservatives:
🔴 LPC: 79%

The details in here should be read by every #cdnpoli policy analyst. Ford Motor Co just committed to no layoffs, $1 billion in Canadian investment and major new bonuses because our workers are more productive.
Some clarity: Canada's Boreal Forest is larger than the Amazon rain forest. "Forest Management" is a distraction the right uses to rage-farm, and pivot the discussion away from their ignoring climate change science. Pivot back, and remind them we can't mow/manicure every tree.
#BREAKING: Liz Oyer: “Two days after Mr Blanche was confirmed as deputy attorney general, he fired me from my position as the department’s career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a political favor for a friend of the president and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche’s office had asked me to recommend restoring the gun ownership rights of a convicted domestic abuser. I raised concerns about public safety but Mr Blanche’s staff pressured me to go along anyway. I did not, but because this particular domestic abuser had a personal relationship with the president, Mr Blanche’s staff asked me to set aside my concerns. When I wouldn’t, Mr Blanche fired me within hours. He then took extraordinary measures to silence me. He sent US marshals to my home in an effort to prevent me from speaking with members of Congress.” 😳
OSSOFF on Trump Address: At a moment when his war spirals out of control, instead of focusing on the nation's needs, as always, he nurses his grievances and he forces the rest of us to help him process his shame. As always, he centers his own fear of the accountability that he will face when we win decisively this fall.
Our answer will be decisive. We won't just restore checks and balances for the next two years. We will rebuke him so decisively that no president will dare try this kind of brazen corruption and abuse again for centuries.
The USA until now has a a long history of sending fire assistance to Canada,
This Formal Agreement ,
Canada/US Reciprocal Forest fighting arrangement signed in 1982 !
However since Trump honors nothing we are not to be surprised at the sheer ignorance coming from Republicans.
