Insightful editorial in today’s @TorontoStar by Amir Alavi. torontostarreplica.pressread…
All of Canada gets a say on break­ing up the coun­try | Toronto Star

All of Canada gets a say on break­ing up the coun­try | Toronto Star

Every few years Canada has the same con­ver­sa­tion: a province grows frus­trated with Ott­awa, rhet­oric escal­ates and sep­ar­a­tion talk returns, from Que­bec or Alberta. On Oct. 19, Alber­tans...

Dear humans around the world: That thunderclap you just heard came from Gander, Newfoundland. At 92 years old, Jean Chretien just gave the speech of his life. With the most memorable, important words of his life. Because he speaks for what most Canadians are feeling in our stomachs and hearts today, better than anyone else could. God bless him. God bless Canada. #911Remembrance

We cannot assume Americans will make better choices in future elections. We cannot count on things going back to the way they were.

Every time I send a dollar to a Canadian, I get something back that's even more valuable to me. So yes, I run a trade deficit, but I also run a stuff surplus. It's utterly absurd to call this is a loss -- it's a huge win!

"Over the last 10 years, the United States lost, on average, 60 Billion Dollars a year with Canada. NO MORE!" - President Donald J. Trump
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This claim is misleading. When including both goods and services, the U.S. trade deficit with Canada has averaged significantly less than $60B annually over the last decade, with some years even showing a U.S. surplus. ustr.gov/countries-regi… usafacts.org/answers/what-i…

We have to hit harder and smarter. Where it hurts, not just where it’s easy and effortless. Not with routine counter-tariffs but tough export taxes that target Americans who depend on our valued energy and strategic commodities. Tuesday's column thestar.com/politics/politic…
Martin Regg Cohn: Never mind the insults. It’s time for Canada to hit the U.S. where it really hurts

When he was asked on Sat­urday by report­ers if Canada was now in a trade war with the United States, Prime Min­is­ter Mark Car­ney said that we were. Because we had been attacked. I agree with him....
