Klyguine's suggestion that CRA is 6 x larger than IRS is misleading. CRA's broader mandate includes Fed & Prov tax & benefit programs (income tax, GST/HST, CTB, GSTB, various Prov/Fed Benifit, etc). IRS does not collect state taxes & other agencies generally administer US social benefits.

Better no deal then a bad deal with someone you cannot trust. Lets keep in mind that this 10% increase in tarriffs is not on all trade only trade not compliant with our existing trade deal with the US. You know the deal Trump Signed in 1st term and called the best deal ever.

In the case of Ukarine, Trump said the US deserves something in return for all the arms they have given to Ukarine ... so he forced a rare earth Minerals deal on Ukarine.

I wonder what Qatar expects for its $400,000,000 plane?

Are the American people so stupid they will accept this?

You got the country"Elon" paid for. Note "Elon" can be replaced in this post by the billionaire of your choice.

The 3 remaining recounts are judicial recounts. Is the CPC suggestion that the courts can not be trusted?

A CPC majority was a given but Trump like behavior & tone in the face of Trump Tariffs & 51st state cost them the trust of πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ & the election. Questioning the courts is just more of the same.

Lol, yeah, nothing screams family values more than Mel and Elon. I can see Elons' traditional family values 3 marriages, 2 ex-wives, 14 children, but not sure what traditional values Mel has... when his ex was asked she just said, "Beats me"

Elon is destroying the US and causing havoc all over the world, but we are better than him..let's all commit to providing a balanced view of Elon people have a right to know the good and the bad.

So if anyone thinks of anything good about elon, please record it on a postage stap and post it.

When Elon said Self Driving Teslas were coming soon I did not think he meant "soon it would be only himself driving a Tesla

While it's not a practice, I like it. It's not unusual for political parties to appoint candidates rather than hold nominations. It's often used in cases of "Star Candidates."

Is Mr. Kent a Star? A dewarf star, maybe? Kinda like a small star that's not too bright in the night sky?

Well, that's not a surprise I just assumed being in the Trump fan club was a Conservative Party requirement.

Based on Steve Kent's history, can someone confirm he is actually in Newfoundland for the election, or will he be doing it from Florida ?

Greenland should deny entry under....Alien Enemies Act.

You know basic strip search, shaved heads, shackled, dress in white, 2 wks detention, foil blanket sleep on floor, no do process, refuse access to a lawyer or family, refuse info under States Secrets Privilege.

Danielle Smith should be ashamed of herself and should immediately resign. Fine she supports Pierre Poilievre that her right but to ask a foreign government administration to actually take steps to meddle in a Canadian election is disgraceful. Unacceptable behaviour by a πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Premier!!!!

All alliances are built on trust and the US government is making it impossible to trust them. Trust is very easy to lose but extremely hard to regain. Trumps BS will hurt the US long term. Hard to see them as the leader of the free world if the Free world does not trust that they rely on them.
