Here is my statement on U.S. tariffs and Canada’s response.

[John @Jumbotronys]

@sarobertson_ So they wanted first right of refusal for our mineral rights, forced purchase of the F35s, restrict our language on our own products, and wanted to restrict our trading ability with other countries. That's not a negotiation and that's not a trade partner anyone should be with.

[Susan Brown @thisoldhowse]

I predicted this tactic by the US government in early 2025. School bully tactic. Unacceptable.

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Carney: "The U.S. introduced in the last hours, efforts to restrict our ability to have other trade deals. We're the partner of choice in many respects for countries around the world, and the Americans wanted to restrict that. Unacceptable."

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

Kory Teneycke: "At a provincial level, we're seeing huge success for conservative parties from coast to coast. So it's not a problem with being able to elect conservatives. It's a problem with Pierre fucking Poilievre and being able to manage that coalition at the national level. Lots of people are willing to vote for conservative governments. They're just not willing to vote for this asshole."

[realNickKouvalis @NickKouvalis]

CPC officials, CPC pundits and CPC supporters:

"... Carney failed, tariffs remain, alcohol ban was bad policy/retaliation - this is a bad deal for Canada..."

Also CPC officials, CPC pundits and CPC supporters:

"... Wab Kinew should not be saying things publicly that might upset Trump and lead to no deal..."

MAkE iT maKe SeNSe!

[MJR Schneider @SchneiderMjr]

@Bratt_world Devastating because it confirms both that we got a good deal and even worse that the elbows up strategy was effective and the sucking up approach isn't.
Even though Bloomberg is American I'm sure they'll find some way to label them Liberal-controlled media.

[Susan Brown @thisoldhowse]

@Bratt_world @DoeDoe1480871 I hope so.

[Brattani @Bratt_world]

Bloomberg is hinting that Canada might have gotten a good deal

We will know probably tomorrow night

[Greg MacEachern @gmacofglebe]

Liberals could probably use this as an ad right now. And pick up another five points.

Mediterranean is losing its clouds. We may be looking at the reason in our sample jars.
Dmitry Isakov published a thoughtful article yesterday asking whether we are asking the right question about Mediterranean cloud decline. A five-century reconstruction (Diodato et al., 2024) shows cloud cover over the basin has been falling since around 1818 — and Isakov asks: while we studied COz, did we forget that humans have been directly changing the sea surface itself? He was kind enough to cite our new work. Here is what that work found.
Clouds over the ocean do not appear by magic. They need aerosol particles to condense on, and a large share of those particles come from the sea surface itself — from a film thinner than a human hair called the surface microlayer (SML). This film is built by plankton. It is biology, not just water. It controls how the ocean breathes: evaporation, gas exchange, and the spray that seeds marine clouds.
Our Copernicus (EGUsphere) preprint reports what we found in that film across the North Atlantic — 352 surface stations, 8 sailing vessels, 51,547 particles analysed:

@BallsRad @amanobviously Have they continued to stay in Canada? If so are they here legally?

[Susan Brown @thisoldhowse]

@amanobviously How many have left voluntarily? Surely not all will need to be forcibly removed.

Last night @SecKennedy defended the President’s claim that children receive vaccinations the size of a soda bottle. His explanation was that the President meant the cumulative volume of the whole schedule when he said he’d seen vaccinations “the size of a soda bottle being poured into a child.”

OK, then let’s do the whole schedule.
A vaccine dose is 0.5 milliliters. One tenth of a teaspoon. Every parent who has taken their kid in for shots has seen the syringe. It’s not a soda bottle. That’s absurd.

The biggest visit of a child’s life is the 2-month visit. Five injections, about 2.5 milliliters, half a teaspoon. Everything a baby receives by injection in the first 6 months of life adds up to roughly 2 teaspoons.

The whole schedule, birth through age 18, every recommended vaccine, including a flu shot every single year, comes to roughly 55 injections and under 30 milliliters. A shot glass holds 44. Eighteen years of childhood vaccines do not fill a shot glass.
A 20-ounce soda bottle holds 590 milliliters. That is more than 20 times the entire schedule, more than 200 times the biggest visit, and more than 1,000 times an actual dose. No version of this claim comes anywhere near a soda bottle. An executive order was signed anyway.

@SecKennedy also repeated that childhood vaccines were never tested in placebo-controlled trials. My colleagues and I have systematically reviewed every randomized trial of childhood vaccines back to 1940. Nearly all were placebo-controlled, every vaccine on the schedule was evaluated in at least one placebo-controlled trial, and close to half used plain saline or the equivalent. The mumps vaccine inside the MMR was proven against placebo in the 1960s. The first hepatitis B vaccine was proven in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1980. The 1954 polio trial randomized roughly 600,000 children to vaccine or placebo, still the largest medical experiment ever conducted.

So here is where we are. The President described something that does not exist and could not exist, a soda bottle of vaccine poured into a child, the same instinct as suggesting people inject disinfectant. And when the Secretary of Health and Human Services was asked a simple yes-or-no question about whether it was accurate, he couldn’t say no. He defended it. The nation’s top health official either doesn’t know what a vaccine dose looks like or won’t say so, and I honestly don’t know which is worse.

Nobody around this president will correct him, even about a syringe, even with children’s health on the line. So the fantasy stands, the executive order stands, and parents are left frightened of something that was never real, in the middle of the worst measles year since 1991, with over 2,500 cases and counting.

The arithmetic takes five minutes. The fear takes five seconds. That’s the whole strategy.

Japan is also the best natural experiment ever run on MMR and autism.

A total population study in Yokohama tracked every child born from 1988 to 1996. Children born in 1993 or later got zero MMR doses. Autism incidence in those cohorts was 97 to 161 per 10,000, roughly double the 48 to 86 in the earlier cohorts that received MMR.

Autism kept rising after the withdrawal, on the same trajectory as every country that kept vaccinating.

33 years later, Japan's national insurance data show 3.26% of children born in 2014 diagnosed with autism by age 5, among the highest rates reported anywhere. None of those children received an MMR.

The one country that eliminated MMR has the same autism rate as the countries that kept it. 3/
