    TRUMP TANTRUMS over defence tech put USA at risk. Banning US technology from non-US aircraft is not about improving defence. In fact it weakens US defence. "Canada does not depend on the USA for its defence. The USA depends on Canada." [FREE LINK in reply]

    I HAVE NO IDEA what’s really happened/happening with the Trucker Convoy. We shouldn’t have to see things with our own eyes to know what’s true. We should be able to trust news reports. But the fact is, today, we can’t. That’s a real problem for all of us. It affects everything.

    A WALK THROUGH CANADA’S most iconic retailer, 354-year old Hudson’s Bay Co., always baffles me. It seems like no one in the store cares. Shelves are always under-stocked and the ambience has channeled “going out of business” for over a decade. Does anyone manage this business?

    3 THINGS CANADA should do right now: 1. Immediately approve and invest in an Energy East pipeline to carry Canadian oil and gas through Canada to an eastern seaport. 2. Expedite expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline to the BC coast.

    TORONTO MAYOR Olivia Chow says families can skip one meal a week to pay for her higher office budget. WHICH OF YOUR KIDS will lose a meal this week to pay your tax bill? Why does the mayor’s office need a bigger budget? “It’s just the cost of a Big Mac a week!”

    BY TEASING TARIFFS and delaying them, then teasing them again, Trump perpetuates a climate of uncertainty and chaos that does damage to Canada's economy – without triggering damaging countervailing tariffs. It's time for Canada to hit back. Let Trump's voters feel some pain.

    JESUS. @JustinTrudeau right now speaking live, pouring fuel on the fire. “He hears you. But he’s right. And you’re wrong.” This man is dangerous and his words will cause violence. #cdnpoli #GovernmentOfConcern #pandemic #mismanagement #leadership #fail #Truckers

    Omar Khadr at 16: just a kid, didn’t know what he was doing. Greta Thunberg at 16: a knowledgeable leader with a compelling voice for change that adults must heed. Trudeau at 29: just a kid, didn’t know what he was doing.

    THE LIBERAL PLATFORM can be broadly divided into 3 themes: 1. Popular ideas stolen from the Conservative Platform. 2. Popular promises Liberals make every election and never keep. 3. The same failed policies that devastated Canada’s standard of living for the last 10 years.

    Ottawa taxes you $4 for carbon. Sends you a $3 rebate. Province refuses to collect the $4. Ottawa says it’ll stop the $3 rebate — and wants you to think you’ll be worse off. 🤔 Ottawa’s not big on math. “The budget will balance itself.” “I don’t think about monetary policy.”
