"Every dollar spent here helps to counter Mr. Trump’s tariffs." Not only that, but if Canadians start exploring their own country, they may find they love it so much that they no longer feel the need to travel to the USA. And we’d get to know each other. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

Globe editorial: The accidental tourist upside of U.S. tariffs

Canadians are shunning the U.S., hurting U.S. workers, but perhaps helping us to better understand our country

More than 160 years ago, the Charlottetown Conference began the work of building this country. Today, I’m meeting with the Premiers on P.E.I. to carry that work forward with the same ambition — to build a stronger, more united Canada for all.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly so consumed with rage and fury at the entire world for the globally viral mockery of his "embarrassing" and "pathetic" photobombing of the Spanish football team that he couldn't golf today or even do any insider trading stock deals.

45 years ago the Premiers successfully bullied PET into getting natural resources entrenched as exclusively provincial jurisdiction, "forests" absolutely understood as natural resources in this context. (S. 92A) The "national strategy" is for the Premiers to do their jobs!

Canada’s premiers and Prime Minister Mark Carney are set to discuss a national strategy for dealing with the forest fires ravaging the country. As first ministers prepare to descend upon Charlottetown this week, Premier Doug Ford said firefighting would be at the top of the agenda.

The fact that an obviously coordinated bullshit freakout about the fires happened the very week Sooke BC was mourning a firefighter who died helping colorado is everything you need to know about america right now. Carney should be venting fucking spleen.

Look, 158 Canadian soldiers died fighting for the US in Afghanistan and as far as Trump is concered that just makes us suckers and losers. You think letting their piss beer back on shelves in ontario is going to make him happy?

The biggest affront that Canada has committed to the US is declining to be annexed. The mere fact of Canadian independence is what annoys Trumpists. No concessions short of complete vassalage will satisfy them. So we might as well just get on with our lives.

The FDA said on Monday that strong evidence still tied Taylor Farms to the continuing cyclospora outbreak, despite the agency’s retraction on Sunday of what it had said was a positive test of a lettuce sample for the parasite.

Despite ‘False Positive’ Test, Taylor Farms Is Still Focus of Cyclospora Investigation

The F.D.A. said it was continuing to look into the supplier as a big player in the outbreak as states reported stark increases in cases.
