Er, wait... that $100M contract with Elon Musk's Starlink that Doug Ford "ripped up"? Doug Ford signed that deal himself when Trudeau wouldn't make a deal with Musk, conning Ontario taxpayers out of $100M for a service worth less than $14M.
Now he's calling a snap election while taking credit for undoing his own crooked deal (with added penalty costs to Ontario taxpayers). The news is only covering his ripping up of the contract, not the origins of the contract to begin with.

CEO of Canada's 2nd biggest company defends Trump's tariff demands, slams Trudeau for not stopping trade war

Trudeau: Canada will retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B of U.S. goods
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Saturday that Canada will respond to Donald Trump's tariffs with 25 per cent tariffs on $155 billion of U.S. goods.»»» ...YouTube
Canadian Labour Congress calls for massive retaliation against US tarrifs, including full cutoff of electricity, critical minerals, and O&G. Also demanded are matching tariffs, worker support programs, and diversification away from US economy.
If this is what's being demanded in the open, I'm curious the extent union labour in strategic sectors might put on their wooden shoes. Dumping of American goods in Canadian ports seems very plausible.

Before, when I thought it was an actual tax on investment earnings, 66% seemed fantastic. Now I'm wondering why it's not 100% and why the Liberals made the first quarter million exempt from the increase.

"Those publishers ... will often license copies of e-books for just 12 or 24 months. Once that licence expires, libraries must repurchase access to the same book." #canada #cdnpoli #books

Canada is not an ally of the USA, it is a vassal state.
Just the posturing of an incoming POTUS is enough to cause severe damage to our economy.
We are suddenly spending $1 billion more on defending our border, not on preventing the flood of guns FROM the US, but on preventing the trickle of drugs and migrants TO the US.
Trump couldn't force Mexico to pay for the wall but he is forcing Canada to pay for border patrols to prevent smuggling into the US, which is surely the job of the USA.

Maternity & parental benefits | Canadian Labour Congress
Did you know that paid maternity leave benefits have only been around since 1971 in Canada? Before that, a new mother had to quit work or return to work quickly if her family depended on her income.Canadian Labour Congress
"For example, I’m developing a device for newborn care that monitors infants’ body temperature, skin colour, eye colour, weight and heart rate, among other factors, to track their health, particularly during those critical first few weeks of life. It could save lives. Think of how many other students have ideas and skills we can’t even imagine yet.
That’s why it’s so disheartening to hear some Canadians talk about international students like we’re parasites. I pay about $12,000 per semester in tuition—far more than Quebec residents do. I have a campus job as a kitchen supervisor to cover my expenses, and I live in a small two-bedroom apartment with a roommate. People like me are not responsible for Canada’s problems. But we can help solve them, contributing to the country’s cultural diversity, its economy, its innovation and its growth. And by bridging gaps between nations, we help build a more inclusive society for everyone."

Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke is calling for the end of Canada’s public postal service because its workers have gone on strike.
