Trump says U.S. doesn't need CUSMA trade deal, takes aim at Canada

ctvnews.ca/canada/article/we-d…

So here is what should happen but will not.

Remove tariff on EV from China, the 100% meant to protect the American lobby

Repeal the anti-jailbreak provision of Harper Bill C-11 as suggested by @pluralistic

Make Canada the center of right to repair. This will fuck companies like HP, Apple, TESLA, John Deere, etc.

‘We don’t need cars made in Canada’: Trump calls CUSMA ‘irrelevant’ and takes aim at Canada

U.S. President Donald Trump visited a Ford factory in Dearborn, Mich., Tuesday and dismissed the relevance of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, saying the U.S. doesn’t need the trade deal and that “Canada would love it.”

Canada purports to be a pluralistic country. It recognizes many ideas, many traditions, many communities are valid and worthwhile, and the country can and should do the work to know and understand as many as possible.

X is the antithesis of pluralism. X games anger outrage ignorance and prejudice for gain. The algorithm pushes these idea far beyond the real value of these ideas.

Only the pathetically naive and willfully ignorant don't see this.

Misinformation and its manipulation and the outsized harm and impact is today's political reality.

Solomon is feigning outrage with the naive confidence that his party's own misinformation gains through X, is still worthy and justified, that it will compete with the anger and outrage capable of supporting the killing of an innocent woman.

Supporting X is supporting anger, ignorance fear and prejudice, not very Canadian, or its it?

If any Canadian is wondering why their provincial & federal governments keep slashing public education funds - this is a huge reason on the why. A highly educated population would be dissenting of unjust government actions. It's that simple.

I've memorized many parts of #Canadian Charter of #Rights and #Freedoms - part of the #Constitution of #Canada. I like to educate poorly educated 'law enforcement' on actual laws & listing the ones they're breaking while trying to silence #dissent against government corruption.

Canadian government - just like any other capitalist driven colonizer exploitive lying government - violated many citizens #humanrights to satisfy the greed of their corporate lobbyists. They do not want a large portion of citizens to be highly educated. They don't want to deal with a whole bunch of highly educated dissenters. They rule over us better, when they're corrupt as fuck - over poorly educated citizens - especially when some sellout/foolish citizens do their BS PR for them.

In Québec, there are 700 to 900 reported cases, weekly, of #COVID19, since September 2025...

Typically, certain Québécois/ses PCR tested only, so NOT the full picture of the state of COVID-19 in Québec.

The vaccine, for those who are NOT eligible, is 180$ and supplemental health insurance does not always cover even a % of it...

Yet, the province is trying to say vaccination rates are down and the number of infections are stable... #polQC #QCpoli #CAQASTROPHE #COVIDISNOTOVER #WEARAMASK

Maybe someone should tell senior management in some services that DO use performance metrics (translators are not the only ones).

---

The first two recommendations in the report call on Statistics Canada to explore and report on the development of a “productivity measurement program” for the public service, and for agencies to develop productivity metrics for departments and agencies that provide direct services to Canadians.

“Without reliable data, it is difficult to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of government services or identify areas for improvement,” the report said.

The president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada said productivity cannot be improved by productivity measurement alone.

“We don’t build productivity through distrust and surveillance. I think that it’s two things that productivity depends on is having trust and faith in the work everyone does,” Sean O’Reilly said on Tuesday.

He says public servants are already dealing with understaffing, outdated technology and paperwork, and those problems won’t be solved by performance tracking.

...

The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat says it is not considering four of the recommendations from the task force, including measuring productivity across the public sector.
