May be a correlation. I think the USA had plans for Canada regardless. Hope our elected governments are capable of managing the country and its economy well with those plans in front of mind.

Worried for healthcare, housing. The NB Liberals have been making serious headway on those files since they ditched the Cons Higgs govt. MB and BC as well have good politicians at the helm.

If this is the norm attached to Republicans policy, then I’d be concerned certainly. Seems that those politicians were very clearly met with disapproval by the public and results proved that in what I’ve read so far.

Epstein files don’t need to be released. US needs to believe the victims.

I support workers.

Question, how long can Canadians who fund our government, support all tariff impacted sectors ?

Thanks for posting this information. It seems to be skipping the big news. But it’s unprecedented that the Canadian government is allowing this.

Trump's takeover of Canadian rare earth miners raises major concerns.

It is uncommon for a government to have a stake in a domestic company - it is even more uncommon for a foreign government.

Where is the evidence and due process? This is a military strike without cause, on a vessel without any proof. This isn’t democracy. It’s tyranny! Those could have been innocent people. Even if there was drugs, when does a nation get to blow them up FFS! Are we truly that apathetic?

We’ve grown from 7,800 patients on the waitlist for primary care to over 39,000 ~ this for a population of 180,000. One in 5 have NO access to family doctors.

In fact the hiring of primary care physicians to the region being touted as a win, hasn’t moved the patient registry at all. These hires are to meet the needs of the school, but doesn’t translate into patient care at all.
One in five islanders still have no primary care.

The govt hasn’t attached any parameters to increased access to primary care despite the huge investment of Islanders healthcare funds that went to it. No increase in primary care.

Agree. Of all the talented people in Canada, it is saddening that more don’t chose public service. PP is definitely not the best of us. I would personally, but don’t have the skills needed. 😉

"America is losing its markets"…it's been happening for months and they’re only talking about it now. But the most revealing part: "vice-President Vance is swooping in with hedge funds to buy land from the very people who elected them." People voted against their own interests. #cdnpoli
