Trump confirms U.S. tariffs to increase on Canadian goods
116
I find it funny that so many Americans think that a tariff is a good thing, when in fact it drives the cost of their good purchased up by at least the percent the tariff is set at. The level of delusion is mind boggling!

Keep voting Conservative and Canada wont exist

The CEO of Algoma said it's due to tariffs, Trump (You know, the guy who is President of a different country) but I guess he's a liar and it's actually the Liberals right? Give your head a shake.

We need to step away from the U.S. They are no longer a friend and would rather see us as a territory no matter their 51st state talk. We would have no territorial rights, no votes and no autonomy. They have already shown that any purchase of military equipment comes with a "kill switch", that allows them control over our own military vehicles, if purchased from them. It's time to move on and become a citizen of the world at large.

Just remember, Mark Carney of the Liberals is running to be the Prime Minister of Canada. Pierre Poilievre of the Conservatives is running to be the Governor of the 51st state.

Stop with the right wing talking point of "We need to elect a Prime Minister." Canada has never voted for the actual Prime Minister, you have always voted a party into power and then that party leader becomes PM. Mulroney stepped down, Kim Campbell took over as PC leader and she stayed PM.

Funny how PP calls out ending DEI practices in Canada, after having to hold another election, wasting millions of taxpayer dollars, to get back a job he was voted out of.

Half (or more) of the comments here will be in support of Trump or "Elbows Down"

I remember the people who urinated and defecated all over and around the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I remember seeing Nazi flags, Trump flags and Diagalon symbology at the convoy. I remember them holding a city hostage all in the name of "Freedom."

PP wont get it as he is IMO complicit with India in regards to foreign interference. He knows that under intense scrutiny his ties to them will come to light.

PP would have us paying more, give large corporations massive tax breaks and swearing fealty to Maple Maga as he sells off more Canadian assets to his donors.

And yet my neighbour who is paralyzed from the waist down gets $1300 a month on ODSP to pay her rent, groceries, electricity, and other bills. She eats one meal a day because she cant afford anything more. Her daughter pays for her to have a cell phone for emergencies. Myself and a few other nearby folks do what we can to help her, but my question is why does the Ontario government force her to live in poverty while giving billions upon billions to corporations?

Or maybe Ford can release the healthcare funding he got from the feds but oddly enough has held onto much of it but opened lots of "Private" for profit healthcare/adjacent services that are owned by his donors.

The fine should be equal to what they made selling the falsely advertised product and then a scaling fine above and beyond that for repeated offences. Fining Loblaws 10k when they made 500k selling it doesn't do anything.

There's well over 100 people working there that make over 100k a year. Most getting 15%+ a year raise for the last several years. Gravy train has ended with the new cap on international students.

Health care is provincial. Stop spouting right wing debunked talking points about the Liberals. This is 100% on the Conservative leadership of our province (AKA: Doug Ford) who has funneled money to for profit private corporations to handle a backlog his government created, just so they can pay their donors, who happen to own these companies.

He was a full on racist and homophobe. He ratted out Jessie "The Body" Ventura when he tried to form a wrestlers union that would have increased not only the pay for wrestlers but also safety. He threw the every WWE wrestler under the bus so he and only he could get paid more money. He stopped speaking to his own daughter several years back because she called him out on his bigotry. She nearly died in childbirth and he still refused to even speak to her or see any of his grandchildren. This is not a man to be celebrated. Sentiments like those that defined his "later" life belong in the past.

Think of the millionaires and all the money they wont make if they close their business!

Bill 13 is the setup to making a two tiered healthcare system by changing expectations for access to our publicly funded system. Those with money will get faster access to better care, those that are poor(er), such as retirees/elderly or the disabled will make do with the leftovers. The cons and Ford specifically have been purposely underfunding Ontario healthcare to create issues so that their donors can wiggle in some for profit healthcare "solutions."

The city has been slowly dying over the last 20+ years. Our children leave for greener pastures elsewhere. Get us jobs that will allow families to build a life here. I am 100% behind this idea.
