I’d like to do a thought experiment with Maple MAGA. Where do you think the state capital of Canada would be? I’d guess Toronto, not Edmonton. That’s going to be a pretty liberal 51st state.

Every day is Christmas for Putin now.

J.P. Morgan econs on Trump’s latest are “increasingly concerned that the policy mix may tilt into an unintentionally far less business-friendly stance. The sustained 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico set to start this weekend is materially different than the tariff increases built into our baseline.”

So why did he buy Stelco (Steel Co of Canada) last year? To shut it down?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year, with more than 770,000 people counted as homeless.

More than 3,100 students died at schools built to crush Native American cultures The Post’s year-long investigation found that three times as many Native American students had died at boarding schools between 1828 and 1970 as the U.S. government had previously reported.

Trump’s ‘stunningly unqualified’ diplomatic team shapes up at breakneck speed Trump is hardly the first US president to introduce miscast nominees, but he has nominated ambassadors at a rate not recalled in recent memory

If you want the US to fail, your picks would look like this.

Some of his oil patrons, less so on multiple counts

Free trade isn't dead. Canada has just announced a Free Trade Agreement with Indonesia,a country with a population of 285 million, and 5% annual GDP growth. Indonesia's existing trade agreements are largely with countries in its neighbourhood.

A Free Trade Agreement with Indonesia is an interesting opportunity. A country with a population of 285 million, and 5% annual GDP growth, and Canada is in ahead of the US and EU. Indonesia's trade agreements are largely with countries in SE Asia and the S. Pacific.

Also, the layering effect of his actions on different files can’t be measured but promises to be spectacular - like the effect of migrant expulsions overlaid on tariffs, plus a loss of foreign business investment.

I prefer the reckless version because it reflects his personality and character and also foretells overreach and blunders.

I followed you (to this land of tall flowers and gentle breezes)

@wilnerness.bsky.social I continue to wonder why the organization can’t move off Springer in the leadoff spot.

Zach Pop puts the first batter on. No surprise

1-39 wil how many baserunners in scoring position?. Time to cut their losses, bring up a Buffalo bat or a third catcher so Jano can DH when he’s not catching

Chapman had a great April last season and was mediocre after that. The pitching gets better with warmer weather and not all early offensive success is sustainable

No, roster wise. They’ve eaten much bigger, longer salaries in the recent past, so I don’t doubt they’d do it with a one year deal , but how long do they have to stick with him when at his age there just might not be a bounce back? This might be his new reality

What do the Jays owe Turner? And why cleanup? Right now, any of the better Buffalo batters can literally do no worse than him and they have some upside, and can actually play an inning or two in the field.

Sort of like Chapman’s big start last season. It died in May, as is Turner’s good start

Just like Pearson, he can't seem to string good outings together.

@wilnerness.bsky.social I have nothing against D. Vogelbach the person, but the concept of a third-string 1B getting a few at bats a week, rarely getting on base while occupying one of 13 position player slots, seems flawed.
