Damien Kurek is forcing Conservatives in his riding to choose between voting for the CPC party and PP who refuses a security clearance and lost his riding of Carleton after a 20 yr. performance review. PP should also face his leadership review before money spent on a by-election.

You are literally an MP in our parliamentary democracy. This is either rock stupid or completely disingenuous.

BREAKING: Tim Walz SLAMS Trump for complaining about trade with Canada while he was the one who negotiated USMCA. The hypocrisy is stunning and Walz is right to call it out. Retweet so all Americans see this.

THIS IS MASSIVE.
Portugal has cancelled the order for F-35s from the US and will replace their F-16s with European fighters.
“We have to be able to count on the predictability of our allies, which is no longer the case with the United States."

Yesterday Donald paused all tariffs on Canada for products under our CUSMA trade agreement.
Today he says tariffs are coming on our Dairy - which is under the CUSMA treaty! The very one he bragged was the best in the world when he signed it.
ELBOWS UP damn it. FOREVER CANADIAN
And in truth none of us want to buy USA dairy products! so it would be a strange outcome if the quotas WERE ever exceeded. But in any event, this is what was agreed to ;)
I keep telling people this!
Trump is Misleading you on Canadian Tariffs!
Trump and Republicans keep claiming that Canada has a 250% tariff on US dairy products.
This is extremely misleading for a few reasons:
1) These tariffs are only in effect when Canada imports over 13 million gallons of milk, 27.56 million pounds of cheese, or 11.02 million pounds of butter/cream in a sing year. Otherwise the tariffs on dairy are mostly around 0%. Canada rarely ever, exceeds these quotas.
2) Trump is the one who agreed to these tariffs when he helped create and sign the USMCA trade agreement.
Stop buying into the misleading propaganda.

If Donald Trump is still talking annexation during his state visit to the UK and is seen being fêted by King Charles, it may do irreparable harm to the credibility and status of the monarchy in Canada. @Keir_Starmer and @RoyalFamily need to understand that.

On a lighter note :
Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Canadians, during a recent appearance at Caesars in Windsor :
If someone in a Home Depot store
Offers you assistance and they don't work there,
You may live in Canada .
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time,
You may live in Canada .
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation
With someone who dialed a wrong number,
You may live in Canada .
If 'Vacation' means going anywhere
South of Kelowna for the weekend,
You may live in Canada .
If you measure distance in hours,
You may live in Canada .
If you know several people
Who have hit a deer more than once,
You may live in Canada .
If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C'
In the same day and back again,
You may live in Canada .
If you can drive 90 km/hr through 2 feet of snow
During a raging blizzard without flinching,
You may live in Canada .
If you install security lights on your house and garage,
But leave both unlocked,
You may live in Canada .
If you carry jumper cables in your car
And your wife knows how to use them,
You may live in Canada .
If you design your kid's Halloween costume
To fit over a snowsuit,
You may live in Canada .
If the speed limit on the highway is 80 km --
You're going 95 and everybody is passing you,
You may live in Canada .
If driving is better in the winter
Because the potholes are filled with snow,
You may live in Canada .
If you know all 4 seasons:
Almost winter, winter, still winter,
and road construction,
You may live in Canada .
If you have more miles
On your snow blower than your car,
You may live in Canada .
If you find -2 degrees 'a little chilly',
You may live in Canada .
If you actually understand these jokes,
and forward them to all
your friends,
you definitely are Canadian and proud to be.

Trump: "One of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China, President Putin of Russia, and I want to say, 'let's cut our military budget in half.' And we can do that."

Donald trump just criticized the existing trade deal, and asked "who the hell came up with some of these trade deals?"
I'll just leave this here.

🟥 American networks are calling TRUDEAU an “MVP", and a model for toughness, LEADERSHIP and democracy... 🫴🏼🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🔳📽️ MSNBC: “Trudeau was very early in, when he first came into office, one of the TOUGHEST on the Russians for the 2014 invasion of Ukraine.
He’s been TOUGH on the Saudis, TOUGH on the Chinese, and now he’s been TOUGH on the Indians.
I think he’s a bit of a MODEL for the West to look to, when you talk about liberal Democracy.”
#LeadershipMatters ✅
#MVP 🦁🦁

Can you freakin' imagine, THIS man, Harper, going on a podcast criticizing the Lib govt for supporting jobless Canadians in need in a pandemic, when Harper was first in line begging for COVID loan relief. Tells you ALL you need to know about the CONservative Party of Calcutta.
