This must rank as one of the more hilarious headlines I have seen in a long time.
Nothing like the political media in Ottawa for continually missing the moment as we watch democracy and the rule of law disintegrate on our unguarded border.

Poilievre tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries & the Cdn Gas Association.
It’s not surprising for a career politician who has voted against the environment 400 times in 20 years Poilievre has capitulated to every one of Big Oil’s demands

Pierre Poilievre is Big Oil’s useful idiot

With an inner circle stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s no wonder that Pierre Poilievre voted against the environment 400 times.

“Not going to be great” is quite the understatement by Fox here.

Tweet by FactPost (@factpostnews) reading: “Fox: The tariffs, 10% for lumber, 25% for cabinets, vanities, upholstered furniture. On January 1st, the tariff for cabinets and vanities increase to 50%, all the rest of the furniture to 30%. The cost of building materials has increased 34%. There is a concern that this is not going to be great for the home buying industry.” Below is a Fox Business screenshot showing a reporter in a lumber workshop with the headline “New tariffs on furniture & lumber take effect.”

President Trump said on Wednesday that his administration had “terminated” a commuter rail tunnel under the Hudson River, one of the nation’s most critical infrastructure projects. It was not immediately clear what he meant and whether the project had already been stripped of federal funding.

One of the first things our new government did was cut taxes for more than 22 million Canadians.

For parents, that’s taking some of the pressure off — so you can focus on providing the best life for your kids, and worry less about the cost.
