  • For those unclear whether the “Criminal Trade Advisor” is a criminal and a trade advisor, or an advisor on criminal trade:

    Navarro, Trump’s senior counselor for trade and manufacturing who was jailed for contempt of Congress last year after refusing to testify about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, was speaking about U.S. tariffs on our northern neighbor with Fox News’ Bret Baier on Wednesday evening.

    As for the loser’s claims, American guns are a much bigger problem in Canada than Mexican cartels.



  • Booze is the headline but that’s not all that’s going on:

    The federal, provincial and territorial governments are also working toward recognizing certified professionals no matter where they received their credentials in Canada.

    Following a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday, the first ministers directed the committee on Internal Trade — which is responsible for implementing the Canada Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) — to develop a Canada-wide credential recognition plan by June 1.

    Along with recognizing labour credentials, the premiers are launching negotiations to allow goods certified in one province to be bought or sold in another without additional red tape, excluding food.




  • The article doesn’t offer any real evidence of the “love” side of this supposed “love-hate relationship”. The nearest thing I could find was this bit at the end, which isn’t super loving:

    “I love Canada, I love the people of Canada,” Mr. Trump said at a cabinet meeting at the White House. “It’s not fair for us to be supporting Canada — If we don’t support them, they don’t subsist as a nation.”



  • When travellers experience issues such as cancelled or delayed flights, or lost bags, and feel the airlines don’t respond appropriately, they can take their complaint to the federal government’s Canadian Transportation Agency.

    However, when their hearing ends, they are required to keep the ruling confidential.

    Now the agency is proposing to fine people for going public about their decisions.

    It doesn’t seem crazy for there to be consequences for violating a confidentiality requirement. Having a confidentiality requirement is the part the should maybe be questioned.
