Yes building BYD would create Canadian jobs but, seeing how popular they are globally, I could see BYD cars taking a big share of the car sales here and making Trump even more likely to want to move manufacturing to the US. But we do need to diversify away from relying on the US for jobs!

I too would like to buy a BYD but isn't it likely that we would be decimating what remains of the Canadian auto industry? Unless we retooled one of the Ontario plants to make BYD cars here!

You know nothing. I have been to Auschwitz because I wanted to pay my respects. Have you stood in front of the crematoriums and shed tears? You have contributed zero of substance to this conversation and are obviously are just trying to be provocative.

First nation women being sterilized is again part of our shameful past. It is a criminal offence for anyone caught doing it today. Not excusing our horrible history but acknowledging it is the first step. Not a Nazi state at all, but one rather trying our best to improve.

We just had the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, to recognize the atrocities and multi-generational effects of the Canadian Indian residential school system. A day to reflect on our shocking, embarrassing history and to work toward to a more fair and equitable society for all.

It's interesting that you have a trans step grandchild and would make this comment. If you knew anything about Canada you would know that we are far ahead of the US on transgender care. I have a trans niece who is thankful every day to live in Canada. We are not perfect but we continue to try!

Even though you have to be alive to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the question "who deserves it more". And my answer is Pee Wee Herman.

There is no capital gains tax on a principal residence in Canada and that's one of the reasons there are sky high house prices and a shortage of low to middle priced units. Flippers buy properties, live in them while they renovate, claim them as a principal residence and then sell for a profit.

Yes! I can't stand either Sara or Joe's right wing blathering. Their bias shows every time they open their mouth!

That's kind of you! What's disturbing is that while hiding behind a social media screen has made it too easy for some to give voice to their inner demons, others are being emboldened to come right out in public & say these things as if cruelty is a virtue and dehumanization is just another opinion.

As the proud aunt of a transgender woman, I've heard unbelievably cruel stories of how truly vile some people can be in their efforts to demean, denigrate and dehumanize her - to try to erase the very existence of trans people. What's truly frightening is how easily people abandon their humanity.

I'm supporting my fellow Canadians in maintaining the boycott of all US products and travel to the US. The best thing we can do is have a massive grassroots boycott - the US can't make us buy anything from them.

Keeping the tariffs on causes input costs to go up for Canadian importers who need usa materials. Canadian small businesses have been applauding the removal of tariffs on the usa.

heavenisabeach.bsky.social @heavenisabeach.bsky.social · Aug 23

Um, no. I am happy to see our tariffs coming off because, contrary to how Trump sells them, they are a tax on the people of the country imposing them. Carney know the Canadian people are smart enough to continue boycotting US products. I have faith in my fellow Canadians. Do you?

The US recently said it wouldn't impose tariffs on Canadian goods that were compliant with the USMCA. Carney has reciprocated, saying:"Consistent with Canada's commitment to USMCA, we will now match the United States by removing all of Canada's tariffs on U.S. goods specifically covered under USMCA"

On the Nobel website it says anyone can be nominated. Trump has been nominated by the leaders of Pakistan, Cambodia and Israel for this year's award.
