The U.S. Coast Guard entered Canada, captured a Canadian who was fishing in Canada, smuggled him back to the US and put him in jail. No warrant, no charges.
This is an act of foreign agression.

At a high level, this is a good thing. Railroads suffer massively from the friction inherent to carrier handoffs. Mergers can mitigate that, potentially opening new markets and allowing more effective competition w already continent-spanning trucking companies.

If only there was some clue that this was going to happen?
Maybe the theory was that if they didn't prepare, the power of positive thought would stop Trump imposing tariffs on the UK.
When will they learn?

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

The numbers of Canadians being hurt by the insane policies of the US government continues to climb. It's going to be really hard to forgive this - there isn't some crisis here, or a financial recession, just greed and resentment.
“As a result of the pause in production, about 900 U.S.-represented employees at supporting plants will be temporarily laid off in addition to about 4,500 hourly workers at the Canadian plant, according to a company spokeswoman.” www.cnbc.com/2025/04/03/s...

You can tell the level of seriousness about congestion in central Toronto when no serious conversation is happening about tolling the Gardiner and DVP. This would be the single most helpful thing we could do.

important thing to understand about BRT that moves 40k+ people per hour is that they have generous rights of way with up to four bus lanes and extensive stations capable of platooning multiple bi-articulated buses at once.

I didn't know that the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) sells US alcohol on consignment. The US liquor companies do not get paid until the product gets SOLD in the stores.
That's why they are losing their minds right now. The LCBO is kicking them right in the balls.
