The sheer number of lies from President Trump about Canada – growing again today – is remarkable. Just some fact checks from the last 18 months:
- Trump falsely said today that Canada's unemployment rate is "10% and rapidly rising,” though it is 6.4% (under the Canadian method that adds about a percentage point) and has been declining for three months
- Trump falsely said today that Canada does 95% of its business with the US, though 72% of Canadian exports went to the US last year
- Trump falsely said today that high Canadian agricultural tariffs have caused the entire US trade deficit with Canada, though that deficit is overwhelmingly caused by US imports of cheap Canadian crude and though something like 97% of US ag exports to Canada are tariff-free
- Trump has falsely said Canada generally doesn’t “take” US agricultural exports, though Canada is the world’s second-biggest buyer of those exports
- Trump has falsely said the Canadian public likes the idea of becoming the 51st state, which the Canadian public overwhelmingly opposes
- Trump has falsely said Canada is one of the world’s highest-tariff countries, though it is actually low in WTO global rankings
- Trump has falsely said Canada essentially doesn't have a military, though its military has fought with the US in multiple wars and its force size ranks in the upper half of NATO
- Trump has falsely said Canada hiked its dairy tariffs during the Biden administration, though they hadn’t changed since Trump’s first presidency
- Trump has falsely said the US trade deficit with Canada is “$200 billion,” though it is nowhere close
- Trump has falsely said Canada prohibits US banks, though it doesn't and though more than a dozen US banks were operating in Canada at the time he spoke
- Trump has falsely said Canada is “constantly surrounded” by Chinese and Russian ships, though that is fiction
- Trump has falsely said then-outgoing PM Trudeau was using their trade battle to run again for prime minister, though Trudeau obviously wasn’t running

P!NK says reports that she has separated from Carey Hart are "fake news."

"I was just alerted to the fact that I'm separated from my husband. I didn't know—thank you, People magazine; thank you, Us Weekly. Thank you for letting me know. I was wondering: would you also like to tell our children? My 14-year-old and 9-year-old are also unaware.

"Or, do you want to talk about some real news? Do you want to talk about the Epstein files? Do you want to talk about systemic racism, or misogyny in sports, or how classy the women's hockey team is, or how 8 of the 12 medals won in the Olympics this year for the US were won by women? Or do you maybe want to talk about the fact that I got nominated the first year I was eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

"Do you want to talk about my accomplishments, or do you only want to talk about my supposed demise? So, 'fake news'—not true. I fucking hate that term. I love you all. Go with God. And trash news: you can do better. Night, night."

Bob Geldof, "It enrages me to a point beyond comprehension when I see the images of starving Palestinians in Gaza"

Trevor Philips, "Israeli view is there is no famine caused by Israel, its been engineered by Hamas"

Bob Geldof, "The Israeli authorities are lying"

Trevor Philips, "They're lying you say?"

Bob Geldof, "They're lying. Netanyahu is a lying. the IDF are lying"

"They're dangling food in front of starving, exhausted mothers.. They're shooting Palestinians trying to get food from GHF"

"So far a thousand people have died of starvation"

"When you target infants and children, when their wounds are no longer capable of healing, when breast feeding mothers can not longer do this"

"This criminality must stop immediately"

"As an instrument of war, famine is a crime"

Trevor Philips, "The Israelis would say there are 700 trucks sitting inside Gaza waiting for the UN to collect them.. And say its the UN's incompetence"

Bob Geldof, "They're lying. It's propaganda"

"I know this stuff back to front. Band Aid deals with this sort of people all the time, they're lying"

"And if the news and social feeds weren't censored in Israel, I imagine the Israeli people would not permit what is being done in their name"

Trevor Philips, "Isn't it unfair to blame all Israelis for this?"

Bob Geldof, "No, they're at war, their government is at war in their name"

"October 7th was inhumane, disgusting, disgraceful, but we're way past that now. And if the Israeli people are aware of what is being done in their name"

"And you've had on Sky News Dr Maynard reporting where Palestinians have been targeted when queuing for food. They're bing used as target practice. One day targeted in their abdomens. The next day young men targeted in their testicles"

"Trevor please, anyone watching this, we're way beyond.. This Israeli government is stacked with extremists and Netanyahu has gone beyond anything he proposed as his war aim"

"I don't want to hear from Hamas, from Netaynahu, stop this by any means right now"

Trevor Philips, "The IDF would contest your description of what is happening"

Bob Geldof, "Of course they do, show me an army behaving like they do who doesn't"

Trevor Philips, "We can see demonstrations weekly by Israelis"

Bob Geldof, "Not enough"

Trevor Philips, "Isn't it unfair to say this is the Israelis as a whole?"

Bob Geldof, "No, stop it. Stop it Trevor"

"What's unfair is what's happening to these babies"

"What's unfair is that one hour from the hunger Israelis are sitting down to their dinners to watch their Netflix soap"

"If Israelis want to protest, get in your cars, stuff your car full of food and drive through the border"

"You guys (journalists), stop it (making excuses for Israelis), shame on you"

Trevor Philips, "An Israeli would say to you now, even before Oct 7th, they would say they were people under constant attack, they do have reason to be fearful, don't they"

Bob Geldof, "They do indeed, I entirely support the state of Israel"

"This is about Israel using infants as instruments of war"

"Trevor, there are very few people watching this program, have held, or seen, or heard, babies dying of hunger - just stop (making excuses for Israels actions), just stop"

Do you know what I think we need in Canada? Way cheaper flights within Canada.

It’s cheaper to go all-inclusive to Mexico than to Newfoundland. So many people are missing out on some of the best places on earth. It's really sad, honestly.

Illarionov says he learned of the Trump administration decision to cut off all military support to Ukraine on February 25th, before Zelensky's White House meeting on February 28th.
Zelensky's visit was then blamed retroactively in the March 4th announcement of the decision.

Trudeau: We’re probably going to keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans, we're not booing you. We're not booing your teams. We're not booing your players. We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us.

And we're insulted. And we're angry. But we're Canadian. Which means we're going to stand up for each other. We're going to fight. And we're going to win.
