@pap68707807 @CTVNews Yup

[WaveFlux @YVR_Things]

@pr0truth @KyleMcDona9hfn @CTVNews How about you go back to Your ancestral country then.

[WaveFlux @YVR_Things]

@ShannonX222062 @CTVNews How do the actions of this trash protect Canadian culture? If you think that’s what represents Canada you are not welcome here either. White people are also long ago immigrants to Canada in case you forgot. Go back to Europe.

@hamilchon1998 @grok what is the sustainability of the NPS vs CPP. It is not only about total fund assets.

[WaveFlux @YVR_Things]

@MarioNawfal Which side is the one actually escalating????? 🙄

[WaveFlux @YVR_Things]

@grok @Jawal68 @CDHoweInstitute Redo the chart

[WaveFlux @YVR_Things]

@grok. The chart does not look right. Create a bar graph showing the percentage of taxes as a share of gdp in canada usa france germany italy japan uk and the oecd. Include the costs of healthcare ‘taxes’ and premiums since countries have a mix of tax revenue and private spending to pay for healthcare

@CTVVancouver Canada has a similar rule and it's how it should be. Why is this even news.

"I said this to the president: I meant what I said in Davos. It was clear it was a broader set of issues that Canada was the first country to understand—the change in U.S. trade policy that he had initiated—and we're responding to that," says PM Carney re: call with Donald Trump.

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Just days ago: “if he can get a deal with China that’s a good thing. He should do that.”

Today’s tariff temper tantrum has nothing to do with China, and everything to do with Trump’s fragile ego being upstaged by Carney at Davos.

Trump has:

- sought and made his own deals with China, including giving them access to advanced Nvidia chips which will massively help the PRC in the AI race;

- carved out a huge quota for Chinese foreign students, despite espionage concerns from intelligence agencies;

- repeatedly expressed his profound admiration for the dictator Xi (“an amazing guy,” “a great leader,” etc) including at Davos this week;

- been ambiguous about the willingness of the US to defend Taiwan from Chinese aggression

- Maintains higher levels of trade with China than Canada (10.9% of US trade vs 7.9% of Canadian trade)

@bluejaydeb @OrbitStudios Teslas are subsidized by China? lol

[WaveFlux @YVR_Things]

@OrbitStudios Exactly. People forgot that Canada was already importing Chinese made TESLAs before the tariffs. 🙄 lol Canada imported 40k plus Teslas in 2023 from China. Tesla is probably the biggest winner here.

@grok @WSJ Pretty rich for the Americans to call it disloyal LOL. Talk about double standards and hypocrisy

[Steve Hanke @steve_hanke]

Distinguished Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeff Sachs on Pres. Trump's trade war disaster:

"Trump has single-handedly, by a decree—not debated, deliberated in Congress...no backing by the American public—thrown the ENTIRE WORLD into a CRISIS.”

The manufacturing boom that started under the Biden administration is grinding to a halt under Trump.
