Why just 100 per cent tariffs? Why not 1,000 per cent? Why not ONE MILLION per cent?

U.S. President Donald Trump revived one of his most pointed insults toward Canada on Saturday, calling Prime Minister Mark Carney 'governor' and threatening to slam the country with a 100 per cent...

They would have no legitimacy even if they won a referendum. You can’t just vote to help yourself to something that isn’t yours — namely, the territory of Canada, all of which belongs to everyone equally. It’s a free country. You always have the right to leave. You just don’t
This point really cannot be made enough. The people speaking to US reps on behalf of "All Albertans" have no democratic legitimacy. 0. They've not been appointed by any democratically elected leader. Their referendum hasn't yet met the minimum bar to move forward. No separatist

Donald Trump is telling Canada that we are not free to pursue trading relationships with foreign countries. Successive Canadian governments did NOTHING to stop total Canadian dependence on the United States. Turner was right. Nobody listened.

Former PM John Turner on the United States: "I'm not anti-American, I'm pro-Canadian. I think, like a lot of people, we all had a chance to move down there one time, and I decided I liked Canada...Canada may be open for business again, but Canada is not up for sale."

Its obvious @realDonaldTrump. Greenland should join Canada as the 11th province. We have a shared culture and set of values.

Typical neo-liberalism. Canada Post is not a business, its a public service and needs to be treated accordingly. Make it a gov't dept again. Btw Purolator, 100% owned by Canada Post made $294 M in 2024.
🤣🤣🤣 Who’s going to tell Carney about the CBC? Using his logic: Any org is not viable if it costs us over $10 billion in the last decade.

35÷16 = 2.2% per year. Not really a winfall. MPP positions need to be open to all, not just to the already financially secure. Now bring back the pension plan, so younger and working class citizens will consider running for office.

The NDP form the Provincial government in B.C. and Manitoba. They are the official opposition in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Nova Scotia. It appears they are hardly irrelevant.
May 26 2024 Ottawa—So let’s talk about the sad spectacle that just unfolded in Ottawa today, where interim NDP leader Don Davies—yes, Don Davies, a name you probably haven’t heard since Jagmeet Singh’s socialist train wreck finally derailed—stood in front of the Canadian press

Ok M.F. just leave my country then. We are Canadian
🇨🇦 I'm unvax'd, didn't do anything the 338 said. I will buy whatever ketchup I want. I hope 🇨🇦 crashes and 🔥. I hope Trump exposes the corrupt politicians who'd rather fight than 🛑 illegal activity. You're about to feel the pain the unvax'd felt. Hopefully, you'll WTFU.
