Chinese EVs, affordable EVs, great EVs for Canadians are crucial to help Canada address clean air and climate change challenges, especially as the vast forests of ancient trees burn increasingly more every year. That's it, it's the tool to rapidly address a problem...

Kinew, Moe want China EV tariffs ended to get Beijing to lift canola duties

Two of Canada’s premiers are urging the federal government to lift its tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles in hopes it could lead to Beijing removing its own duties on Canadian canola. “Seize the opportunity presented by recent remarks from the Chinese ambassador to Canada,” said Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew in a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney. “He indicated that China is prepared to lift its tariffs on Canadian canola and pork if Canada removes the 100 per cent tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles.”

We also get the benefit of the Chinese market for our canola
The only reason we put tariffs on EV's was to be in favor with the USA
We are not in favor with the USA
Our farmers need the sales
We can poke the USA in the eye once more
It's a win/win for me

China’s ambassador to Canada, Wang Di, just told Canadians through CTV, that if we drop our EV tariffs, China will drop tariffs on Canadian goods - including canola - and commit to buying Canadian oil and LNG. Wang says China’s door for more Canadian crude oil “will be open.” #cdnpoli

President Trump has used apocalyptic language to describe Portland, Oregon. Some demonstrators protesting ICE are responding with colorful animal suits. “It was just to contrast the narrative that we are violent extremists. The best way to show that for me is being in a frog costume.”

Among Portland Protests, It’s Frogs and Sharks and Bears, Oh My!

Images of anarchists clad in black gave the city a bad name in 2020. Now, demonstrators in Portland are poking fun at President Trump’s apocalyptic talk with colorful animal suits.

Here's what Brazil did that REALLY scares Trump:

Jair Bolsonaro sentenced to 27 years in prison for plotting Brazil coup

The former president has been found guilty of trying to mount coup to cling to power after he lost the election.

Holy shit -- Kevin Hassett completely bombs on ABC when pressed by Jon Karl to explain how Trump can possibly justify 50% tariffs on Brazil even though the country has a trade *deficit* with the US

I wrote about a new Nazi party that seeks to criminalize all human virtue, and how that means that human virtue is the greatest weapon against the new Nazi project.

The Crime of Human Virtue

Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

SCOTUS' corrupt Citizens United decision gave power to dark money donations, which helps billionaires & corporations to drown voters' political power.

Let's change how we finance election campaigns, so politicians can work for us, not special interests.

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

Rep. Van Orden: "Listen, at this point the Nobel Peace Prize does not deserve Donald Trump. It's just shocking and so in your face. I mean, this guy has done more for world peace in 9 months any any president in history. Period. And it should be recognized. But unfortunately he's not a globalist."
