Nova Scotia’s forest ban is a test β€” just not the one some people think Tim Houston is trying to prevent the sort of wildfires that caused death and destruction in his province just two years ago. To some people, though, he's just an agent of creeping climate extremism an...

If you don't think you have a voice and this won't work, just look what πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ has done.

US has lost $B's in tourism & trade.

And we're not stopping.

Linda McQuaig: One of our key economic sectors is outside of Donald Trump’s grasp. Let’s not take it for granted The business crowd tends to portray our public health care and education systems as little more than costly drains on our public resources. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Good. I just don’t see media coverage of any resembling what happened in South Korea, or Serbia, or Istanbul etc.
I hope there are daily, or at least weekly protests outside representatives’ offices.
Once a month big splashes won’t cut it.

Trump’s been doing a lot more widespread damage. I can’t see fair elections unfolding next year if USians don’t stop him.

I’m Not panicking. I’m Outraged. Read more here.

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard β€” the nation’s top intelligence official β€” my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

The job market is showing signs of weakness as Trump's tariffs take effect U.S. employers added just 73,000 jobs in July, according to a report from the Labor Department Friday, as the unemployment rate inched up to 4.2%. Job gains for May and June were also revised sharply ...

Today's jobs report shows 24,000 factory jobs lost in the past three months.

Trump’s first term brought a manufacturing recession. Now his reckless tariffs are making Americans worse off, again.
