““Prime Minister Carney used the term ‘war.’ It’s not a word we use, right? We don’t talk about it that way. For us, it’s business, it’s economics,” Greer told the FT News Briefing podcast.”
I guess we could just do some “business” and “economics” and stop sending electricity and oil to the US…
Textbook dominance move. “We are going to hit you and you can’t hit us back. If you do, we will hit you again.”
We have dumb people living here too.
Snapping Senator was one of my favourites.
Ah, that’s probably what’s happening here. Thanks.
I don’t think there’s a notification that they’ve been added. So how would they know what to add a notification to?
I can’t wait for the carbrain victim complex to conjure up complaints of being punished for speeding. In Ontario, there were drivers (publicly, in news articles) saying that they’re essentially too distracted while driving to keep track of the speed limit and their speed relative to it. This was their argument against speed cameras. Incredible.
Notably: “The White House says, “Canada has extracted a persistent average annual goods trade deficit of roughly $50 billion from the U.S. over the last decade — while refusing reciprocal access.”
The overall number is correct (it was $48.5 billion in 2025, according to the U.S. Trade Representative). But as premiers and others have repeatedly noted, the only reason for that is because Canada exported 3.9 million barrels of oil per day to the U.S. last year.
States near Canada’s border need the oil, and it’s sold at below-market prices, a significant economic advantage for the U.S.
If that oil were removed from the calculation, the U.S. would have a goods surplus with Canada. In other words, excluding energy, it exports more stuff to Canada than Canada exports to the U.S.”
Canadians definitely haven’t been showing enough gratitude since these tariffs on their products came into effect!
