EM Burlingame twists my head. He knows he does this to me & long may he continue to do so.
What he is saying here is important. I don't know enough about this issue to say yay or nay, but in my struggle to understand better the world we live in, I think it's important to consider arguments and counter-arguments, and counter-counter arguments continuously. This involves suspending or discarding ideologies & philosophies that I had once held to be true & inviolable.
Being able to do this, at least when I have done so, has served me well. It’s how I went from being a Remainer to a Brexiter, to discovering the joy and wonder of home education, going from being a vegan to a vegetarian to being a keto-meato-fruito kind of diet. I am clear that I have never arrived. I am always curious, wanting to discover more, and satisfied with the process of discovering.
If I draw a circle in which is contained all the knowledge & history of humanity, perhaps what I know is a speck of a speck. There is always more to discover. There is always more to explore. There is always room in my schedule for a conversation with @EMBurlingame
Could someone in the mainstream media ask @MarkJCarney what is he talking about here?
Is this about packaging/labels?
Is this about online streaming?
Why did Canada walk away? ⬇️

RT until every Canadian sees this 👇
ABSOLUTE NONSENSE & LIES!
Americans & @realDonaldTrump couldn't give a rat's ass about changing the French culture or language in Canada. This is cheap rage baiting theatrics by @MarkJCarney to score politicsl points in Quebec! I am sure there are some gullible simpletons in Quebec who would believe his 💩
@MarkJCarney has LIED repeatedly so much about almost everything, it leads me to think he is psychologically unstable - Pathological LIAR!
My tweet was about PAYING NATO obligations.
Canada has never paid the required percentage - ever.
When it was recently raised to 5% they were still below the previous 2% requirement.
This is what Grenell knows.
3 months to give consumers a break, while at the same time lifting regulations that has been bringing BACK the herd culled by the globalists is a BETRAYAL?
This is such a retarded take I don't even know where to start
Sad you used to be a serious thinker
Canada has officially confirmed it.
The dramatic claim that the U.S. was “attacking Quebec culture and language” and threatening Canadian sovereignty boiled down to a request to review packaging language requirements — bilingual labels, French on product packaging, manuals, and appliances.
We are now in a full-blown trade confrontation with live 50% tariffs, tens of thousands of jobs at risk, higher costs for Canadian families (including infant formula), and retaliatory measures that will raise prices further… over soup-can labels and instruction manuals.
This is the level of spin that has defined the last eleven years. Escalate the language to “war,” “attack,” and “sovereignty” so no one can question the decision without looking unpatriotic. Then, when the details emerge, it turns out the red line was packaging rules that have been a known trade irritant for years.
Ordinary Canadians are the ones who will absorb the hits — lost jobs, higher prices, weaker investment — while the government and its media defenders keep selling the highest-stakes narrative possible.
A country cannot keep operating this way. Framing regulatory packaging disputes as existential cultural warfare while the real economic damage lands on workers and families is not leadership. It is deflection at national scale.
Canada deserves better than this.
No more excuses. No more spin
Is there anything these slime balls won’t do to win elections and garner votes?
If there was language concessions in trade negotiations, then come out and say what TF it was.
Because if turns out we walked away because Quebec wants French labelling on its bag of fuckin potato chips he can kindly F himself.
This MFer has a lot of balls to claim that negotiations fell through at the last minute after he spent 10 days in Italy leading up to the deadline.
Someone is lying.
Fellow Canadians...
Just a reminder that 100% of the politicians and bureaucrats who walked away from the negotiating table with Americans and are imposing tariffs on the goods you purchase from the USA have a guaranteed income and retirement pension indexed to inflation.
NEW
The Podolski Honey Farms of Ethelbert, Manitoba, founded in 1954
has been made insolvent in the first week of tariffs.
"Effectively, we're out of business, we are collateral damage."
This is the human cost. These stories will become normal.
Odd this editorial has angered some in the 'Elbows Up' brigades as it's based on what Mark Carney said in March 2025 about matching U.S. tariffs dollar-for-dollar.
"There’s a limit to matching these tariffs, dollar-for-dollar, given the fact that our economy is a tenth the size of the United States.”

The 9th Circuit has decided the ‘Covid Vaccine’ is NOT A VACCINE. Plaintiffs can now use this as cases go forward.
Buckle up, Pfizer and Moderna. You’re guilty of Mass Murder.
Carney lied to Canadians about the Gordie Howe bridge less than a month ago. But we are talking trust issues?
Not holding a serial liar PM to account is your failure not the conservatives
