At a recent event the leader of the starvation movement, MAGA Con MP Jamil Jivani - Canada’s own JD Vance wannabe, spoke to a bored handful of students, in a tiny classroom (not the grand arena he had hoped), about why he opposes feeding hungry kids at schools... #cdnpoli

What a fantastic response to the 🍊💩. No delirium induced ranting or raving. Let him go off on his tangents while the rest of us get on with the business of building our economies without the US. #tariffs
Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

Yes it's true and it's Conservative Party Ontario Premier Doug Ford's fault. He ran an ad featuring Ronald Reagan's (verified true) comments on tariffs. It begs the question as to just what his motivation was for running the ad. I tend to agree with Angry's assessment. F**ks over Canada though.
