Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

A few weeks ago, he was dangling tariffs because of Canada‘s Middle East policy. Before it was fentanyl. And migration. And now it’s a TV ad. Maybe… stay with me here but…

Maybe… he just really likes tariffs.

This document is … insane? Incredible?

In it the USG shakes down a university for $1.17 BILLION “to avoid legal action” and dictates how hiring, promotion, admissions, scholarships, and CURRICULA REVIEW will be conducted. It stipulates how and when students can protest on campus.

It is un-American

When you see the steady drumbeat of arrests of Russian recruits for sabotage etc across the UK and Europe, and no equivalent announcements in the US, you can be sure we are missing cases, and mislabeling other arrests.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

If I were a rank-and-file Liberal, I'd be worried that Carney, who has no stake in the party's long-term health, is burning its credibility and future by pursuing an ideology that should have no place within even the famously elastic parameters of Canadian Liberalism.

Remarkably blunt words from Andrew Coyne. Hard to say he's wrong, incredibly worrying, and not at all what Liberal voters voted for.
Coyne: The Liberals under Carney have taken "a decisive turn toward illiberalism: harsh on immigration, thuggish on criminal justice, cozy with dictatorships."

Opinion: Canadian politics enters its era of Illiberals and Unconservatives

It isn’t that the parties have converged on the middle - rather, they have converged on populism

Pausing the ads so that trade talks can resume.

Talks with a thin-skinned wannabe authoritarian who can't be trusted to keep his word and who's just shown everyone -- again -- that he isn't a reliable negotiating partner.

This isn't strategic. This is flailing.

Ford is backing down and pausing the ad buy after speaking with Carney.

Please see statement below that can be attributed to Premier Ford.

“Our intention was always to initiate a conversation about the kind of economy that Americans want to build and the impact of tariffs on workers and businesses. We've achieved our goal, having reached U.S. audiences at the highest levels. I've directed my team to keep putting our message in front of Americans over the weekend so that we can air our commercial during the first two World Series games.

In speaking with Prime Minister Carney, Ontario will pause its U.S. advertising campaign effective Monday so that trade talks can resume.

The people elected our government to protect Ontario—our workers, businesses, families and communities. That's exactly what I'm doing. Like I said earlier today: Canada and the U.S. are neighbours, friends and allies. We're so much stronger when we work together. Let's work together to build Fortress Am-Can and make our two countries stronger, more prosperous and more secure.”

So preposterously unconstitutional, but also: active duty military payroll is more than $3b **per week.** This is a pittance of that. It has nothing to do with helping out the troops- they want to establish the precedent that Trump can bypass Congress and fund the government with anonymous bribes.
