#Tariffs explained:
I pay $20 for Brazilian coffee beans, the coffee bean grower buys nothing from me. That's a trade deficit. To make it "fair" I ask them to buy $20 of my Trump bobbleheads. They refuse. So I get Trump to charge a 50% tariff on the beans. I now pay $30 for Brazilian coffee beans.

For an awesome taste treat try Chapman's black cherry yogurt. We love it!

Sadly, it's not just Mexico that is a target with this. As we know, numerous American officials have alleged there are cartels operating in Canada as well.

I was going to weigh in on this one. But I'll just say ditto to all those who have already commented.

This is a parody right! Demanding! He's a private citizen. While still leader of the CPC he has no official status in the House of Commons to be demanding anything. Mr. Prime Minister, I demand you disregard his demands!

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

Andrew Phillips: The hostile reaction of U.S. lawmakers to Canadian forest fires reveals more about U.S.-Canada relations than any stack of trade statistics I was going to write about the state of the Canada-U.

The hostile reaction of U.S. lawmakers to Canadian forest fires reveals more about U.S.-Canada relations than any stack of trade statistics.

The chorus of complaining from Republican politicians shows we’re now not dealing with decent people. #Opinion

#PierrePoilievre - get your #securityclearance. You aren’t opposition leader. What’s the hold up? Worried about Canadian sovereignty… we are too! That’s why we #Canadians WANT ALL OUR LEADERS to have it. #cdnpoli #Conservatives

Natch, a β€œreview” by 🍁military brass favours preparing to fight three wars ago, treating the failed πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έstate as still a democracy and ally.
Guys, over half of their voters chose Trump, and they’re all in with his drive to prevent free elections ever again.

Remind me why this three-fold loser (total seats, popular vote and own seat) is getting so much attention as a private citizen. Focus on BR-C by-election and give other candidates running there the same kind of attention MSM! This coverage of PP is so biased it's painful to see from the media.

Disgraceful. And the newspaper does its best to help him! He's a private citizen running in a by-election he forced. Why does what he says make headline news in a national newspaper when the statements of other candidates in that riding are ignored. This tactic by MSM is disgraceful too!

Poilievre says Carney's moving in the 'wrong direction,' pledges to 'legalize' pipelines | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Prime Minister Mark Carney's development agenda is stalled β€” and he's promising to "legalize" pipelines throughΒ new legislation to speed things up.

Can it stop lying for even two minutes? You don’t β€œlegalize” something that isn’t prohibited, pipelines are already legal in Canada.

…Carney must have been on the right track if the CPC is now jumping on the sovereignty bandwagon. #cdnpoli

I wonder if this a-hole realizes Canadians dislike him even more than he dislikes us? πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ I hope the New Democrat Premier of Manitoba has a few choice words for him.

Wow! That's absolutely all the Cons have. Negativity abounds. No depth, just words. And words that she has to glance down to read from the script. Keep it up Cons. Canadians can see right through the BS.

Pierre Poilievre is talking about how Canada will have a Sovereignty Act if he is PM someday (a thing that is mercifully less likely by the day). Why would the federal govt need legislation declaring Canada sovereign when we are literally already a sovereign nation.

For a while today, his pipeline rhetoric was the top story on CBC online. Top Story! A private citizen speaks and CBC makes it headline news! He is a candidate in a forced by-election. If he gets air time/column inches, the other candidates should as well.

If we can't get out of the commitment for the 16, make it very clear that we pay the agreed upon price without inflationary or whimsical increases in costs due to delays beyond our control. Then scrap the rest and take our business to a respectful, trustworthy partner.
